EXCELLENT RATION FOR cow
n Farmers Would pepend More on
silsse and Less on Pasture Herds
Could Be Doubled.

A good ration for cows giving milk
is silage twice a day, corn fodder once
a day and all the bean forage they will
clean up. with about one pound grain
or concentrate to every three pounds
milk the COW gives. II the beans we're
pulled before becoming too ripe and
secured withou; much rain falling on
them. the forage makes good feed.
Roots are valuable to increase the
flow OF milk.
IL We would depend more on silage
and less on pasture. our dairy herds
might easily be doubled and the farm
enriched accordingly. Many farmers
have been slow TO awaken to the fact
that dairying brings excellent returns.
Many Improbable crops are still
raised where the land might better es
growing feed for live stock.
Permanent pasture is a waste un-
less the land cannot be plowed. Every
acre should be made to raise feed for
stock 10 the limit OF its capacity. and
this should be fed right on the farm,
returning the fertility to the soil.

TREATING HOGS FOR CHOLERA

or 1912 hogs. where 10 per cent
were sick with cholera and the serum
was given to all of them. only 24.3
per cent died. Without the serum a
loss OF rs per cent might have been
expected. The value Of the serum as
a cure is apparent. In 11.776 hogs
that were well when given the serum
but kept in herds with sick hogs. there
was a loss of 2.9 per cent, while in
total OF 1858 hogs that we're healthy,
then given the serum. and later ex-
posed to cholera, there was a loss OF
only a little over one-half OF one per
cent.
In the record kept by the Colorado
Agriculture college. we find that In
the San Luis valley, where hogs we're
not given the serum until the disease
appeared, there was q loss OF about
% per cent.

WATCH FOR DRooPY CHICKS
White Diarrhea Is Most Destructive
During First Ten Days After Hatch
ing-Remove AiIing Bird.

Watch the brooder closely for the
droopy chicks. especially during the
first ten days after hatching. for it is
during this period that white diarrhea
is most destructive. AS rule the
chicks are hatched with II. and il
usually develops in from four to six
days.
Take each droopy chick from the
brooder as soon as discovered. and be
careful to scald drinking vessels and
change the scratching litter
After the first week the chicks are
not as susceptible to this disease. and
will not Immediately take 1t from one

BY following this plan the majority
OF the hatch may be saved.
