IMPORTANCE OF PURE WATER
Large Amount is Required by Average
Dairy Cow for the upkeep OF
Bodily Functions.

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 1t is a good
policy to provide the COW with plenty
OF good. clean water. This is especial
ly true during extremely hot weather.
That flowing through a muddy ditch
it 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 ap-
piled 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 guam
tity of warm water in the winter time
than of ice water.

tration. These young shoots will push
up through two or three feet Of heavy
clay soil. The raw plants produce only
leaves the first year, dying down to
the surface in the winter, and produc-
ing flower stems the second year.
Where Canada thistles get. a bad
start they soon possess the ground,
smothering out native grasses. and
covering an area which is avoided by
grazing stock. The only effectual
means of killing out this pest is to
starve out or kill the underground
stems. The starving method is the
most successful. No plant can live
long If the leaf stalks are kept cut of
ut the surface and moving or close
cutting three times in June. August,
and September will be good way to
begin the battle. Salting and sheep
grazing for two seasons afterward has
been known to finish the work. In
cultivated fields, cut the thistles when
In bloom. close to the ground, then
plow deeply and sow to millet or Hun
garian. Harrow thoroughly and seed
thickly. Cut the hay in September
and seed to rye. The next May plOw
under the rye and plant to corn or any
hoed crop. The field can be cleaned
up by this method.

WAYS OF HANDLING MANURE
Easy to Figure Out How spreader
viii Pay for Itself In Compare
lively Short Period.

Here is the way three farmers han
die manure: One hauls his manure
and dumps it in piles to save the
washing. Another spreads 1t on the
wagon, while the third uses n manure
spreader. 1t takes Farmer A and b
81 minutes to put on n ton load of
manure. 1t takes Farmer G 1S min
utes. In unloading, Farmer A requires
30 minutes; Farmer B, % minutes,
and Farmer G, two minutes. To take
a load Of manure to the field and un-
load requires 64 hours for A, go for B
and 20 for G.
Considering labor, teams and tools,
the cost for A Is A cents a load, or
$sS for 200 loads; B, 40 cents n load,
or $50 for 200 doads, and G, 20 cents
load, or $40 for 200 loads. One can
soon figure up the value Of manure
spreader and how quickly this tool
pays its cost. These figures are ac-
tual facts and they may be verified
by any farmer in his own vicinity.

NANCE IS ERUPTIvE DISEASE
Horse Is Kept In Constant State Of
Irritation, Soon Causing Him
to Lose Flesh.

Mango is an eruptive disease com.
mon with horses that is very con-
tagious. 1t is caused by repeated at
tacks Of minute insects which burrow
into the skin and can be seen easily
by means of magnifying glass. A
horse troubled with mango is kept in
a constant state of irritation which
soon causes him to reduce in flesh. He
rubs his head and neck against the
stall or manger, small pimples appear.
the hair falls off and the skin is dry
and hard. Treatment for mango con-
sists in separating the affected animal
from the other animals and thoroughly
washing it with soap and water every
second or third day. Afterwards dress
the animal with this application: Four
ounces of linseed oil, four ounces of
oil of tar and three ounces of sulphur.
Mix and rub into affected parts. All
clothing, harness, etc., which have been
used on horse affected with the
mango should be cleansed good before
they are used again.

| in Favor OF preparedness.
| Buffalo. N. Y.-The State Conven-
ton of the German-American Alliance
closed with the reelection of the
present officers and the adoption Of
resolutions which set forth that the
alliance was not to be allowed to be-
come the instrument of politicians.
Another resolution adopted by the
alliance stated that in the Mexican
crisis the members of the alliance
pledged their property and lives to
the support of our government ito
whose continued glorious develop
ment as free and Independent ma
ton we shall ever devote ourselves"
The resolution was telegraphed to
President Wilson and Governor Whit
man.
In other resolutions the alliance re-
affirmed its faith and hope in our
country and its free institutions" and
expressed the wish that "all efforts
to question the loyalty of any part or
section of our citizenship by men or
parties who seek to profit by the
seeds of internal discord will meet
with failure"
The alliance declared for prepared
ness but asserted that it hoped for
the continuance of peace both as
against war-torn Europe and sorely-
stricken Mexico"

There is probably no weed pest in

tie, says Wisconsin Agriculturist. 1t
is one of the weed scourges of Europe,
and was introduced here by means of
seeds. 1t is different from the tall
thistle or common thistle on account
of its deep running perennial root
stalks, which usually lie below the
reach of the plow. This thistle also
has more slender stems and small
compact heads. From the root stalks
below the surface. there are being con-
stantly sent up branches which form
young plants, as shown in the Illus

KEEP HORSE STABLES CLEAN
Practice Of Removing Litter Only
Once Every Week Is Worthy Of
Strong Condemnation.

The custom on many farms of clean
ing the barns. especially the horse
stables, only once every week. ten
days or two weeks, Is to be con-
demned 1t takes but a very few min
utes to clean the horse stable each
day. and benefits received from so do
ing are far in excess of the labor in
vOlved. Not only do the animals have
cleaner, healthier and more comfort
able quarters, thus minimizing the
likelihood of disease, but there is an
actual saving in bedding, and in time
used in making the horse presentable
by use of the currycOmb and brush.
An up-to-date litter carrier is fast
time and labor saver and a stable
thus equipped is much more likely to
be kept clean.

OVER-PASTURING is COSTLY
Field Robbed Of Growth Of Grass and
Abundance Of Feed Taken From
Live Stock.

BY over-pasturing we rob the field
of its growth of grass, and we rob the
stock of the abundance of feed they
need. A good practice is to pasture
three head of live stock where we or
dinarily keep four, says Guy E. Nor
rison. extension specialist in live
stock, South Dakota state college.
In England, where We all look to
see better live stock and where pas
ture rentals run as high rs $50 per
acre per year, we find the cattle knee
deep in a mixed grass pasture. In
places the beef type of cattle has dis
appeared, being replaced by the dairy
type.
We Americans can draw lesson
from this. 1t gives us the idea that
If we will use discretion in the pas
turing of our fields and manuring
them. we would have limitless possi-
bilities, still, for the growing OF n
high grade beef cattle.

GOOD MILK COWS ESSENTIAL
They Provide Cheapest, Best and Most
Wholesome Food for Family
Value Hard to Estimate.

The first reason for having good
milk cows on the farm comes from
the fact that they provide the cheap
est, best, and most wholesome food
for the family Their value is hard
to estimate when we consider the
amount saved on the bills. Their prod

foods necessarily purchased at high
prices In fact. there is no economic
way of doing without plenty Of good
milch cows on the farm.
