CBy W. A HENRY and F. b MORRI-
SON. University Of wisconsin,
The most important factor OF all.
Tor the iarIueI no must depend ol
the profits from his stock for his In
come. is the cost of the ration. In Sc
curing a ration which provides the
and meets the other conditions pre-
viously discussed, lies a great oppor-
tunity for exercising foresight and
business judgment on every farm
where animals are fed. The wise
farmer-feeder will consider the nutri-
ent requirements OF MS animals in
planning his crop rotations. Through
the use OF grain from corn or the
sorghums, iegume hay and such cheap
succulence as silage from corn or the
sorghums, il is possible in most sec
tons of the country to go far toward
solving the problem of providing a
we'll balanced, economical ration.
The feeds selected for any animal
should be such that they will not in
jure its health or the quality OF the
product yielded. Feeds which are
suited to one class of farm animals
may not be adapted to others. Again,
a given feed may give satisfactory re-
suits when combined with certain
other feeds, yet in other combina-
tons it may prove unsatisfactory. A
few examples OF such conditions are
furnished in the following: Cotton
seed meal in moderate amount is an
excellent feed for cattle. sheep, and
horses, yet it is SO frequently poison
Gus TO pigs that feeding the meal, as
at present prepared, to these animals
cannot be advised. While there is
always danger from using feeds dam

WHEAT GROWN AFTER FALL0W
Results Of Experiments Conducted at
Rothamsted Station Much De-
ponds on Nitrates Remaining.

At the Rothamsted experiment sta
ton in England wheat has been grown
continuously and also alternating with
fallow for IS years. The records Of
the station have the following to say
regarding the work:
1T will be seen that the produc-
ton of wheat after falIow is high
er than when it is grown continuously,
III bushels against 1921 bushels per
acre: but IL reckoned as produc.
tion over the whole area. half in crop
and half fallow. the whole area grows
much less of both grain and straw
than where the crop is grown year
after year on the same land. A given
area of land would therefore be more
productive when cropped every year
than If the crop were alternated with
fallow. The superior yield of the por-
ton in crop after a following may in
some degree be attributed to the
greater freedom from weeds. but in
the main ii is due 10 the production
of nitrates from the humus of the soil

by the stirring It receives and the con-
sequent aeration. The success OF fal-

TESTS OF COST OF
MILK PRODUCTION
Study Made by Cornell IN. ~
Experiment Station With
634 Cows in SO Herds.

From a study made by the Cornell
IN - experiment station OF the
costs incident to milk production for
1874 dairy cows with full years records
in 50 dairy herds in Jefferson county.
n. Y, it was found that Of the SO
herds. comprising 81 cows, were kept
at a loss of s1,3357l.
On the basis OF net cost and actual
receipts. 161 cows, or 10 per cent Of
the total number, caused a loss to
their owners OF s1.79S.s7, or s11.Is per
COW. The average production was
6,62l pounds of milk and 24I pounds
OF milk fat. The milk was produced
at a net cost of 1.21 cents, and the
milk fat at 1873 cents per pound.
The average selling price of the
milk was 1.52 cents per pound, and
the net profit per COW was s2O.39. The
net cost per COW was ss0.24 and the
receipts were s1OO63. The average
cost of feed per COW was s51.57 and
the labor cost s2312. The average
cost of delivering 100 pounds of milk
2.14 miles was Ill cents. The profit
from cows yielding 10000 pounds Of
milk year was 81 per cent greater
than from those yielding 5000 pounds

PREPARING LAND FOR WHEAT
Use Of Roller, Following the Plow.
Not Only Puiverizes Soil, but Also
Compaets II.

In dry spell the roller and harrow
should follow the pillow closely in
preparing land for wheat. The roller
not only pulverizes but compacts the
ground and gives that firm, fine seed
bed SO essential for a good stand OF
wheat.
When rains are frequent and the
soil contains plenty of moisture it is
not so essential to use the roller and
harrow every day and finish at night
all the land that has been plowed. 1t
may be of some advantage to let it
dry out a little, but in most cases it
is mistake to wait many days before
putting On the roller The roller brings
the soil PARTICLES closely together and
allows the bacteria, which are con-
stantly at work. to become more active
and thus put the seeded in better
condition for the wheat plants.

aged by mold, such material may
often be eaten by cattle when 1t would
poison horses or sheep. Timothy hay,
which is the standard roughage for
the horse. is unsatisfactory for the
dairy COW. and may cause serious
trouble with sheep on account OF Its
constipating effect.
Feeding cows a heavy allowance
OF ground and soy beans produces un
duly soft butter. while an excess OF
cocoanut meal makes the butter toe
hard. Peanuts and soy beans produce
soft lard when forming too large q
part OF the ration OF fattening pigs.
It is often highly beneficial to add
wheat bran or linseed meal to the
ration on account of their slightly
laxative effect On the other hand,
when animals are already receiving
such laxative feeds as silage, pasture
grass, and legume hay. the use OF
bran or linseed meal may be unwise
With the horse and with young
ruminants the ration must contain
some roughage to distend the diges.

the best results the proportion of con-

be maintained chiefly on legume hay,
when not sucking their young. In
the rations for growing and fattening

INTERESTING HINTS
ON CALF BREEDING
Heavier Calves Produced From
Cows in Their Prime, Accord
ing to English Test.

From careful records taken of 10
Shorthorn COWS 1t was found by an
English agricultural society that the
average CESSATION periods of cows
bearing bull calves was 1881 days;
of cows bearing heifer calves 2S3.75
days. The longest period in the
former was 297 days, and the short
est period $50 days; in the latter 293
and 274. The average weight Of the
bull calves was ss45 pounds; that Of
the heifer SIS pounds. II was found
that the longer the period the heavier
the calf in each case.
II was noted that the heavier calves
are produced from cows in their
prime; that is. ranging from five to
seven years Of age; after that age the
calves appear to become smaller at
birth. 1t is thought safe to take an
average OF 2s5 days as the period of
CESSATION and 81 pounds as the av-
erage weight of . Shorthorn calf at
birth

COVERED SHED FOR
STOCK GAINS FAVOR
To Obtain Best Results Cement
Floor Should Be Provided
Shelter for Animals.

One of the most popular methods OF
caring for manure is the covered
shed. To obtain the best results the
shed should be provided with a &C.
ment floor inclined at each end to
allow a spreader to be run in at one
end and out at the other; the sides
should be sufficiently high to contain
all the manure to be stored.
The manure should be placed evenly
over the floor, and that from horses,
cattle, sheep and hogs mixed to pre-
vent. as far as possible, aerobic fer
mentation. and consequent loss Of nj
trogen. The cattle in the yard should
be allowed to trample over 1t and II
may be worked over by the hogs with
out much danger Of loss.
In addition to being a storehouse
for manure, the shed fornishes a shell
ter for farm animals which will com
pact the manure 80 that the aerobic
fermentation responsible for the loss
Of nitrogen will be largely prevented.

CONSERVE MOISTURE IN SOIL
Surface Unless Kindred by Some
Kind Of Mulch.

II is of little use to store water I'm.
ess means and methods are taken to
conserve il. Water moves upward IN
Ill it reaches the surface unless hin.
iered by a surface mulch or con-
,umed by the plant roots. II the wa.
ter is permitted to come to the sur.
lace. II is lost by evaporation. The
amount wasted through evaporation
alone amounts to more under ordinary
methods than is consumed by the
plant. The waste can be prevented
by forming a surface mulch. Capil-
airy attraction takes place only when
the soil particles are in close prox-
unity or. in other words, when the
soil is reasonably compact. The proc
ess of forming a mulch disengages the
particles. thereby hindering evapora-
ton. After the mulch is formed. IL
permitted to stand for a protracted
period the soil particles naturally re-
adjust themselves and evaporation
again takes place. Therefore, in Gull
tivating crops. mulch should be
formed quite often, even though no
II dtSo NC
very soon after a rain. for as soon as
the surface cracks, escape chimneys
form.
In semiarid regions summer fallow-
ing is practiced. By summer following
we mean raising a crop only every
other wear. The procedure is to plow
the ground and harrow or disk it from
time to time. thus conserving the
moisture for one year. Hoed crops.
especially corn and potatoes, should
be narrowed as soon as the seed is
planted and subsequently narrowed
until the plant has attained growth
of three or four inches. The ground
should then be cultivated from time
to time until the crop is nearly ma
tureG unless there are frequent rains.
The mulch should be kept up in corn
even when the ears are forming by
running a one-horse mulch harrow be
tween the rows. for at that time tbs
crops need a great deal OF moisture.

TURN OVER TIME
When Nature Hints About the Food.

When there's no relish to food and
all that one eats doesn't seem to do
any good then is the time to make
turnover in the diet, for that's Ma
lures way of dropping hint that the
food isn't the kind required.
For a number of years l followed
railroad work, much Of it being office
work Of a trying nature. Meal times
were our busiest; and eating too much
and too quickly of food such as is
commonly served in hotels and res
taurants. together with the sedentary
habits, were not long in giving me dys-
pepsia and stomach trouble which re-
duced my weight from 205 to l6O
pounds.
There was little relish in any food
and none of it seemed to do me any
good. 1t seemed the more ! ate the
poorer / got and was always hungry
before another meal, no matter how
much / had eaten.
Then / commenced a trial Of Grape
Nuts food, and was surprised how a
small saucer of 1t would carry me
along, strong, and with satisfied appe-
title, until the next meal, with no SEN
sations of hunger, weakness or dis
tress as before.
Il have been following this diet now
for several months and my Improve
ment has been so great-all the others
in my family have taken up the use
of Crane-Nufs with complete satisfac-
ton and much improvement in health.
Most people eat hurriedly, have
lots Of worry, thus hindering digestion
and therefore need a food that is pre-
digested and concentrated in nourish-
ment."

TURNING COVER CROP UNDER
Much Depends on Soil, Weather Con-
ditions and Crop to Follow
Planting Corn After Clover.

The state at which a cover crop
should be turned under depends upon
the soil. weather conditions and the
crop that Is to follow. Where corn is
to be planted on crimson clover land,
the clover should be turned under just
when the bloom begins to appear. The
crop at this stage will contain about
the maximum amount of plant food.
Besides, it will decay much more read
fly than If permitted to reach full ma
turity. 1t may be necessary to turn
the clover under a little earlier. in
order TO get the corn planted at the
proper time.
