ORCHARD GRASS FOR GRAZING
II Will Endure Considerable Rough
Treatment Without InjuTy--GOOd
for woodland Pastures.

Orchard grass is a coarse-growing.
bunchy grass that furnishes good
grazing in early spring and late fall
weather. It will endure considerable
rough treatment without injury and
should be kept closely grazed for the
best results. No other grass will stand
more shade, and it is the one most
often recommended for woodland pas
lures. It never does well on light,
sandy soils. On wet lands and heavy
clays 1t is an excellent grass to mix
with redtop. From 20 to 30 pounds
Of seed to the acre will give full
stand. Half as much will be sufficient
for pasture mixtures. Il should be
seeded in the fall. 1t is ono of the best
grasses to sow in gullies, to prevent
further erosion.

Still, some men are clinging TO the

The man who is experimenting with
the various breeds and crosses, in
search OF something better than has
yet been found. may have a mission.
but such line of Investigation is not
practical for the man who must de-
pend upon the return from his swine
feeding for his farm profits.
He is on safer ground II he confines
hts taste and. skill TO improving one
well established breed and leaves the
experimenting to the man of leisure

PLAN FOR CUTTING FIREWooD
Farmer Often Cuts out Very Beat OF
Timber and Leaves Poorest
Seek Dead Trees First

Some farmers are very reckless In
the manner in which they cut their
timber for firewood. Often the very
best of the timber is cut and the poor
est left in the woods. This is mis-
take, and the farmer should follow
well-laid plan when getting up wood
for winter use.
He should seek all dead timber first
There will be great many trees that
have been broker by the storms ana
their dead limbs will be on the ground.
Some trees will have been blown down
OF will have fallen on account Of de-
cay. All the fallen timber should be
gathered up frst. This gives the wood
pasture q neat appearance and saves
the cutting Of a lot Of the good timber.
Then every dead tree should be taken
out.
II enough dead timber cannot be Sc
sured for frewood. then the green
must be cut. Here a person should
exercise good judgment All young
trees should be left. for they will grow
into large ones after while. 1t is true
they are more easily chopped down
and more quickly chopped into wood.
but a man who pursues this policy Is
robbing himself of firewood for the
future. Then all straight tall trees
that are fit for posts should be left.

WAYS OF HANDLING MANURE
Value of Fertilizer Depends Largely
on Composition of Foods Fed
TO Farm Animals.

The value of manure depends upon
the composition of the foods fed. Cow
manure is cold and contains consider
ably more water than that from any
other class of farm animals. It fer.
ments and heats slowly, and is called
a cold manure. A COW will void 40 to
so pounds of dung and 20 to 30 pounds
Of urine in a day.
A COW fed a balanced ration will
void about one-half of the nitrogen in
the urine, which shows the importance
of preserving the urine; about one
fourth is in the milk and the balance
In the solid excrement
Horse manure contains less water
than COW manure, and as the horse
has less power to digest forage, the
manure is more fibrous. Horse manure
ferments easily and hence is most val
uable for spreading over meadows,
mixed grasses and wheat.
The best method for hay and grain
farms is to haul and spread the ma
nure direct from the stables; use plenty
of litter for bedding For vegetables,
haul the manure where it is to be
used and pile it. If the manure is
thrown out in the yard it should be
kept in a concrete vault and the urine
pumped up occasionally and spread
over the solid manure. Manure thrown
out in the open yard and exposed to
heavy rains loses large part of its
most valuable fertilizing elements
This is a very slovenly and wasteful
method. II this method must be fol
lowed. have the barn spouted. use
plenty OF litter and keep the manure
ln a compact heap. The urine that
drains from the heap should be col
iected and thrown over the pile.

In this way they catch and are filled

Then sticks and other obstacles lodge
against them and soon the gully is In
shape to hold all obstacles and much

KEEP LITTLE FIGS GROWING
Eastern Breeder Describes Plan Of
WEAVING YOungsters-First Give
Oats and Milk.

+. To keep pigs growing properly they
should have as little setback a. wean.
ing as possible. This is the way that
an eastern breeder describes his sys-
tenn:
Before my pigs are weaned teach
them to eat and they are ready and
eager for their meals when they are
weaned. first give them oats and
milk, putting the oats in a trough,
pouring the milk over them so they
cannot get too much milk at one time.
III am short on milk. put oil meal
and middlings in milk and pour 1t on
the oats. This plan starts the pigs
eating While they are still sucking
their mother and It is the best feed
have used for this purpose. AS they
get older 1 feed oats separately and
make slop of oil meal one quart, mid
dlings three gallons, milk and water
20 gallons. Then put 20 pounds of dry
bran in the troughs and pour on the
slop and turn them in. Give them
only enough SO they will clean it up
we'll as IL they wanted a little more.
This keeps their appetite just sharp
enough. A little corn y fed also and
at eight months old these pigs will
make as good as you will find"

LIGHr AN AIR EssENTIAL

All stables, like houses. should have

Bacteria thrive in dempness. dirt and

sents the most unfavorable conditions

son good drainage Is also an essential

FEEDING FOR WINTER EGGS
It is Never Advisable to Feed Heavily
During Early Hours of the Day.
Keep the Hen Scratching.

In feeding poultry, it is never advis-
