IMPORTANCE OF PURE WATER
That Flowing Through Muddy Ditch Is
Not Suited to Dairy Cow-Fur.
nish Ample Supply.

A large amount of water is needed
by the average dairy COW for the up
keep of bodily functions. In addition
to this, much more is needed in the
production of milk, as the latter con-
tains 81 per cent Of water. Practical
dairymen have found that it is a good
policy to provide the cow with plenty
of good, clean water. That flowing
through a muddy ditch is not suited
for dairy COW.
1t is also important that the water
be of mild temperature, especially in
cold weather. Ice water taken into the
stomach of the COW causes a shock to
the system that is not conducive to
high milk production. The tempering
of this cold water in the COW uses some
of the energy that might be applied to
other purposes. In the winter, freshly
pumped water is much better than the
cold water in the tank. Tank heaters
aid in overcoming this trouble. A COW
will drink a much larger quantity Of
warm water in the winter time than Of
ice water.

PLAN FOR FEEDING
MILK TO CHICKENS
Methods Employed in Connecticut
Egg-Laying Contest Are
Briefly Outlined.

So many inquiries have been made
regarding the exact method of feed
ing milk to hens that it seems fit
ting to describe briefly the plan en-
ployed in the Connecticut egg-laying
contest. There are five experimental
groups, in each group two pens. In
each case the pen having the odd num-
Der is fed the regular contest ration,
the pens with the even numbers re-
ceiVing exactly the same rations, with
the single exception that thick, sour,
leppered or clabbered skim milk is
substituted for the meat part Of the
mash. The milk pens have water
just as the others do, and in addi-
ton to this, all tho thickened milk
they care to consume. 1t is found that
each ten birds will eat on an average
from one to two quarts day.
Storrs station has not only been
trying the use of milk as a ration on
its experimental pens in the laying
contest, but has also been using milk
for growing chicks for the past three
years. The data thus collected, with
results of work done at other expert
ment stations, point to the fact that
milk as ration for chicks and for
laying hens has a very definite feed
ing value.

MUCH WASTE OF FARM LANDS
Suggested by Country Gentleman That
ReekIessIy Heavy Maintenance
Cost Be Avoided.

The Country Gentleman makes the
sensible suggestion that a prodigal
waste of land and recklessly
heavy maintenance cost be avoided by
American roadmakers. Upon a four.
rod government highway "cne dozen
farm wagons could be, by a little
crowding, set side by side" and each
mile Of government highway contains
eight acres of land, much of it good
land, capable Of growing 500 bushels
of corn," while thousands of miles of
the best highways of France, Ger
many and England are but one rod
wide.
The Country Gentleman objects to
Iowa devoting 416,0O0 acres of the
best farming land in the world" to
growing a sufficient assortment of
weeds to seed the farms that lie
along the states 100000 miles of pub
lie road.
It may be added that a well-main-
tanned road rod or a rod and a half
wide, with trees along either side, is
much more agreeable to drive over
than road three or four rods wide,
which can never be shaded and must
always be an intolerably hot sun re-
hector during summer. Left unoiled,
it is glaring and trying to the eyes.
Oiled, it gives off heat like a stove

SIX-YEAR CABBAGE
TEST OF INTEREST
Practically No Difference Shown
in Yield Between the Small
and Large Plants.

When seed is sown either in drills
or broadcast, some of the seedlings
will make more rapid growth than
others. Because of the belief that
larger plants possess some inherent
characteristics which enable them to
outdistance their neighbors, thus be-
coming superior, many cabbage grow
ers discard a number of plants which
are under size.
An experiment, which has been con-
Quoted for six years at the Pennsyl-
vania State college school of agricul-
ture and experiment station to deter
mine the variation in yield and pro-
ductiveness between large and small
cabbage plants, showed that there
was practically no difference in this re-
spect, regardless of whether the grad
ing was done at the time of the first
transplanting or when the field plant
ing was made.
There was approximately an inch
of difference in the height of the
plants at the time of making the field
planting, which soon disappeared.
