Glover Roushage For. Hogs.

A good winter roughage is secured
by stacking green clover with every
other layer of clean straw. Leave 1t
In the stack for two months, and then
feed to the hogs. An immense saving
a be made IN the grain ration. The
animals like IT and seem TO be in better
health when fed this roughage. Cut
the clover when about ten inches high.
Cut In the morning and in the after
noon, after the dampness has dried of
and the leaves are wilted, stack it.
Clover when intended for hogs should
be nj at a more immature stage than
when intended for other cattle.

THINGS the Farmer Likes to Know
WHEN CUllING POULTRY.
Some Points Which May Prove vaIu-
able to You.

Some Points Which May Prove vaIu-
able to You.
Here are some points to remember
when culling: Gull out all those that
when through melting are noted to
be hanging around the roosting room
In the morning and all day long. Gull
out all with weak constitution, sickly
appearing. A hen with pale colored
legs and worn toenails has been a
good layer and viii be profitable for
at least another year. Keep her not
only as a layer, but as a breeder. Gull
out all early molters and send to the
market. The latest and quickest mott
ing hens are the best layers.
The best appearing individuals OF the
flock in the fail have not been laying
anything worth while previous.
A constitutionally weak fowl Is slow
and inactive; she has a so called crow
or pinched head; her plumage Is rough
and does not possess natural gloss.
The shape of a weak fowl Is slender,
long jointed. Her eyes appear life
less and shrunken, with dropping lids.
A fowl with a dropping and undevelop-
ed tail Is a weak specimen. Gull out
everything that is not constitutionally
strong, active and contented. The
contented and singing hens are the
workers and are the only kind to house
over winter.
Sore eyes in chicks are sometimes
caused by a slight cold. In this case
spray with a fine mist sprayer filed
with a strong solution Of zenoleum.
At times the eyelids Of young chicks
become stuck together with a thick,
dark colored secretion. This condition
need cause no alarm because as a rule
1t is not fatal, and the chicks recover
u%ntreated. However, a very simple
and dependable remedy Is to battle the
head in a weak solution Il to 75) of
zenoleum or a solution Il to 25) of
peroxide Of hydrogen.

entire year, the problem becomes acute,
says the Country Gentleman.
Continuous close cropping damages
the plants by root starvation, while
tramping of the soil by the live stock,
especially when the soil is wet from
irrigation or rains, does further dam
age. The result is a rapid thinning
Of the stand. This allows Bermuda
grass and noxious weeds to gain a
foothold on the fields, the productivity
Of which rapidly decreases.
ITO obyiate these difficulties a sys-
tenn Of rotation pasturing Is being
| adopted on Arizona FARMS" reports X.
| w. Clothier Of the federal office OF
farm management. "In this system
the alfalfa is allowed to grow until
sufficiently mature to make hay, and
then the animals are turned into the
field in sufficient numbers to harvest
the crop quickly.
81 have made a careful study Of sew
| eral farms where this system appar-
| entity has worked out to perfection.
One of these farms located near Phoe-
| nix, Ariz., was a dairy and stock farm
| Of 100 acres, all in alfalfa. The alfalfa
was divided into eight fields of twenty
| acres each. All these fields were pas
tured more or less at different times.
'In pasturing, the dairy cows were
| turned into the field first. When they
had eaten the best of the feed they We're
put into a new field and other stock
was turned into the first field to clean
up the feed left by the cows. When
the field was well cleaned up this Sec
ond lot of stock was taken of, the field
watered and not pastured again until
| another crop had matured.
when a field was cut for hay the
| crop was put up with a hay loader and
the stock turned In to clean up the
| waste hay. The field was then treated
! in the same manner as the fields that
had been pastured.
"By this system this particular farm
er keeps 1913 animal units, forty-eight
| Of which are dairy cows, on his farm
for twelve months, and has 800 tons
of surplus feed on the farm. With
| the help Of two grown sons he o al
the work. BY this system the stand
Of alfalfa has been maintained In first
| class condition for ten years."

League 70 Develop Merehan. Marine.

Chicago, Oct. 6.-For the purpose
OF ~'arousing the nation to the neces-
sity Of American maritime develop
ment." an organization TO be known as
the National Marine league Is being
formed by James Il. Forgan, president
Of the First National bank. Repre-
sentative business men of the middle
west have been enlisted In the move
ment and are seeking to enroll tine
leaders In the biggest commercial IN
terprises in the country.
Plans have been made TO raise a cam
paign fund of $4,000. 1t is proposed
that the central federal reserve bank
ing district be represented by 80 MEM
bers, each of whom has been asked to
subscribe $3.50. Branch leagues are to
be organized In each of the twelve
federal banking districts.
The invitation sent to business men
to join the league asks that the pro-
posed member laid In an effort to rec
tify the greatest handicap to the
| try. the lack of a merchant marine"
The announcement continues:
The league proposes to arouse the ma
ton to the necessity of American mari
time development, with the consequent
expansion Of foreign trade as the greatest
| factor in increasing the country's wealth.
Every one is to be taught that this ex-
panslon is a question of personal welfare.
as 1t is the only trade bringing new
money into the country.
The National league funds will be ex-
| pended in popularizlng the conviction OF
the imperative necessity of an American
merchant marine to the end that there
| shall be created a public demand for the
enactment by congress of legislation that
will restore the American flag TO a com
manding place in the worlds shipping
and make possible this country's maritime
| development.

worth two or three times as much.
They will make a profit of from $40 to
$50 per year at the pail and not milk
much over two-thirds of the time,
while making nearly or quite as much
In the production Of beef. They are
more hardy and will thrive on a ration
that would return nothing whatever II
fed to the special purpose cows. The
general run of farmers are the ones
that I believe will make the most
money out Of the dual purpose breeds.
To most such farmers the advantage
of dairying at all is that 1t brings In
money every month. The pure beef
farmer gets his money only once a
year, or, If we consider the individual
animals, he only gets his money from
them once in about two and a half
years. He takes all of the risk for all
that time, and If he loses an animal 1t
Is all loss. On the other hand, the
farmer who sells milk is pretty sure
Of some profit from his animals. If
there happens to be a misfit or an In
productive animal Of the dual purpose
class 1t is valuable for meat, while II
the same thing occurs with the special
purpose COW she Is not worth raising
or feeding.
There are those who believe that
there is no such breed as q dual pur-
pose breed and that such a breed has
to be developed before we can get 1t.
The Red Polls and certain strains Of
Shorthorns have been bred for milk
and beef for many generations, and
some of the finest producers In the
world are of those breeds, while al
most any Individual of them will give
q heavy flow of milk for a shorter
period than the special dairy animals.
