first, through personal care and over

barns, and other structures with simple
but effective means Of extinguishing an
iucipient fire; third, by adequate insur-
ance. Every one of these is worth most
careful thought. Year by year the rec.
ords of fire losses, very largely an eco
nomic waste which should be prevented,
are formidable in the extreme. During
1914 fire losses in the United States ex.
ceeded 235 million dollars. This is

Fresh Dirt for Young Pigs.

When young pigs are kept in pen it
is well to occasionally throw in little
fresh dirt or grass sod. They will
preedily eat of this and it seems to sup
Div want as a kind Of corrective OF
stomach or bowel trouble. As soon as
warm enough 1t is well to keep them In
a we'll protected yard where they can
root over the loan or dirt and take what
they want of it. They should have .
comfortable shelter from storm or cold.
Ii is well to give as often as once q
week little sulphur in their feed, as It
will do them good. As vegetation pro-
gresses the growing pigs will relish q
little feed of almost any kind Of field or
garden crop or even weeds. Do not

be eaten up with q relish. after which

1t never pays to permit two kinds Of
hens, each with different characteristics,
to use the same feeding yard. l saw

recognized the fact, simply because the
more sprightly White Leghorns, which
we're sharing their quarters, rushed in

food before the more logy Wyandottes
had chance to fill their crops. The

former were falling of in weight and

Oats Good for New England.

We still consider that oats hold very
important place in our crop rotation.
They are a very valuable New England
crop. There is nothing better for cover
crop when seeding to grass that know
of, especially when the grain drill is
used, and consider the drill to be very
necessary for the best results.
Care should be taken not to have the
land too rich in nitrogen, but a good
supply of potash is needed and an abun-
dance of acid phosphate.
prefer 70 seed with chemicals or
phosphate and apply the stable manure
as top-dressiug. Like all other crops
it pays to plant only good seed and one
should be sure to have the seed run
through tanning mill once or twice to
remove the light oats and foul seed.
Oats should be put in as early as it is
possible to work the soil without having
it sticky. They prefer compact seed
bed. Early sowed oats are much less
likely TO rust and the crop is generally
much better. Last year we raised 5O
bushels per acre by measure and many
of the bags weighed 75 pounds. AS
feed for young calves and colts oats are
unsurpassed as the animal seems to find
them of more value than the chemist.
They also have very important place in
the ration for the dairy COW.
Oats seem to follow potatoes very sat
isfactorily, as also do the clovers. The
oat straw is very important factor with
us; while if the grain is harvested ir
good condition the straw has consider
able value as a roughage fodder, yet VIZ

Economy of Production.

In recent issues of the Dairyman we
read of the worlds record cows, Murine
Cowan and Finderne Holingen Fayne,
and of their great production Of butter
fat but nothing of the economy of pro-
duction. It seems to me 1t should be
how much profit there is made. Please
let us know which COW has the record
for economy of production, also which
breed of cows will produce the most
profit for money expended.
In producing large records 1t is to q
great degree the purpose to see how
much it Is possible for COW to produce,
little attention being paid to economy Of
production. The whole effort is to Sc
cure as large yield as possible without
injuring the COW.
The records of feed we have received
of animals that made worlds records
have shown that they invariably produced
their fat economically. This is largely
due to the fact that the tremendous pro-
duction gives little opportunity to feed
more grain than is economical, for the
COW in producing as much fat as 1t takes
to beat worlds record, can seldom eat
enough to make the system Of feeding
uneconomical. In other words, she
hasn't the power of eating any more
feed than she can economically convert
into milk. This statement, OF course,
might have to be modified in certain. in
stances, but as rule large producing
cows do it economically even though a
laroe amonnf of feed Ia uaed
1t is quite true that the breeds pro-
ducing the higher testing milk yield fat
at less cost per pound than the breeds
producing milk only moderately rich In
fat.-Hoard's Dairyman.
