Water For Cows.
All animals require plenty Of GOOD
pure water. This ID especially true d
the milking COW. as water constitutes
more than three-fourths of the volume
Of milk. Tho water supply. therofores
demands the dairyman's most careful
attention. Stale or impure water y dis-
tasteful to the cow and she VIII not
drink enough for maximum milk pro.
duction, Such water may also carry
disease germs which might make the
milk unsafe for human consumption Or
be dangerous to the COW herself. Dur
Ing the winter, when cows are stabbed
the greater part Of the time, and unless
arrangements have been made to keep
water before them oil the time. they
should be watered two or three times
a day. II possible the water should be
l5 or 20 degrees above the freezing
point. and should be supplied at practi-
cally tho same temperature every day.
When water well above freezing tenn
perature is stored In tanks and piped
direct to the COW. there il probably
little occasion for facilities to warm Il:
but when 1t stands in tank on which
ice often forms. 1t usually pays well
to warm 1t slightly. This can be done
by a tank heater. by live steam, or by
hot water from a boiler. II boiler Ia
used for running q separator or for
heating water to wash and sterilize
utensils steam from 1t can readily and
cheaply be used to warm the water.

Alfalfa Is Bound to Grow.

the most unpromiSing land II the right
methods are carried out, Is shown by
the story told recently by Mrs. George
B. Douglas of Cedar Rapids to John
Buchanan of Iowa State College of her
five year experiment with piece OF
land that was almost entirely patch
of weeds and sandburs when she be-
gan.
First, the two and one half acres was
plowed up and seeded with oats. The
next spring, 1912, about 100 loads OF
manure were put on and let stand. IN
the fall this was plowed down and left
over winter. In the spring of 1913 COW
peas were put in for fertilizer and then
plowed down In August, before they be-
gan to have seed and while the foliage
was green. The field was left rough
over winter.
In March, 1914, about 100 bushels OF
Stacked lime were put on about six
weeks before seeding time. When all
danger of frost was over in May, the
field was cultivated fine and narrowed
until there was a good seed bed. Then
it was seeded with fifty pounds of seed
for the two and one-half acres. Grimm
seed, bought from three different Iowa
firms, was used
The first season brought at the first
cutting crop of weeds. at the second
crop of weeds and alfalfa, and at the
third good crop of alfalfa. In 1915
the first cutting was of four large
loads, the second equally as good, the
third three loads and the fourth two
loads. There was about fifteen tons In
all. BY July IL, 1916, two cuttings had
produced nine loads.

IOWA FARM NEWS AND NOTES

but when once sufficiently lined and
the alfalfa Is properly put in with IN
oculation and plenty of manure, the
chances for success are favorable. Al
falfa is most needed on the higher
sander soils where clover is most dif-
ficult to grow and where other crops
often burn up. 1t is on these soils
that it has made the greatest progress
in this country. Farmers should take
the time to visit those farms where al
falfa Is already growing and find out
the methods which have been success
fully employed III getting it started
There is no better proof than seeing II
grow, and no better encouragement
than the arguments Of those who are
growing it. There Is but one way we
can get alfalfa started and that is by
trying it. It ought to be started on 4
small scale, on only an acre or two OF
ground, but 1t ought to be put In only
after the methods practiced by those
who have made 1t success.

GRAM FOR PIGS ON ALFALFi
win Return More Profit If Fed Corn.
According to Data Of Nebraska
Experiment Station.


Pigs on alfalfa pasture will return
more profit per pig If fed grain ra.
tion equal to three per cent of theil
weight, according to data of theeNorth
Platte (Neb.) experimental snbstation
The pig is a pork producing machine
and like other machinery Is most
profitable when run at full capacity
A pigs stomach is SO small that II
will mot digest enough alfalfa alone
to make profitable growth. Pigs
cannot produce the best gain when
on pasture alone or when on pasture
supplemented by only small amount
Of grain.
Tests made at the North Platte
substation show clearly that two an6
one-half to three pounds of corn daily
per 100 pounds of live weight of the
pigs produce not only the greatest
gain but the greatest profit The
higher the price of corn, the smaller
the profit in favor of the heavier ra.

ing corn at 20 cents and hogs at IA
cents, the 3 per cent ration is still
the most profitable.

ERADICATE FARM PEST
ouack Grass Reproduces From
Seed and From Roots.
Two Methods Recommended to De
stroy Weed--Growing Cultural Crop
and Summer FaIlowina-MucE
Labor is Required.


Quack grass can be exterIninated.
e. L. Kennard of Minnesota says that
the principal requisite is a firm re-
solve to rid the farm of the pest.
The weed reproduces both from seed
and from underground root stocks. 1t
may be brought to farm in the form
of seed, but the spread is usually by
scattering root stocks about with the
harrow or other farm implement.
Mr.. Kennard recommends two meth
ods of attack: Growing cultural crop
and summer-fallowing
Where the land is badly infested the
former will require great deal Of
hard labor. If the pest is to be ex-
terminated no green portion must be
allowed to show itself and that means
eternal vigilance on the part Of the
farmer. It is not enough to keep the
soil clean between the rows. None OF
the grass must be permitted to grow
In the hills. Two years of this treat
rnent is recommended.
When land is partly occupied, the
summer-fallow method is probably
most economical. One crop is lost,
but the additional yield the succeed

HEAD HUNTERS GETTING BUSY
Natives of Solomon Island Take Ad
vantage of War to Gather
Trophies.


At first sight there does not seem
to be very close connection between
the war in Europe and head hunting
in the Solomon islands. Nevertheless,
the one arises from the other.
Previous to the outbreak of the
war, according to Vancouver Worlds
Sydney IN. S. W.) correspondent. Brit
.ish, and occasionally German war
ships patrelled the islands and en-
tleavored to keep down cannibalism
among the natives, who are largely OF
Papuan or Malaysian stock. How
ever, the requirements for the trans
port of troops led to the recall of the
British warships- and the happy head
hunter has been free to follow his own
devious courses.
In one raid made by mountain
tribe upon small village near the
coast no less than % heads were Sc.
cured. No punishment followed be
cause the whites were unable to or.
ganize in time. AS a consequence
the raids are growing more dangerous
and although as yet, no Europeans
have been attacked, planters have con
stantly to keep on their guard.

AAKE BIG GUNS ABsoLETE
Western Inventor Devises an Aerial
Torpedo That Gives Promise
of Effectiveness.

What may eventually prove to be
highly effective war implement, and, if
so, possibly render present heavy ar
tillery obsolete for long range opera
tions, is a self-controlled aerial tor
pedo that has lately been developed in
Colorado. 1t is described in the Au-
gust number of Popular Mechanics
Magazine. In a general way, the IN
strument attempts to accomplish over
land what the United States navy's
new wireless torpedo does at sea. Its
principle and method of operation, or
course, are entirely different. AS is
to be inferred, it consists of small
aircraft-much like an ordinary bic
plane carrying large, high-explosiye
torpedo which 1t is designed to drop
at any predetermined spot within
certain radius. The projectile, which
is about twelve feet in length, forms
the body of the machine and is divided
into two compartments. The propel..
ler is mounted at the front end of it,
while the shaft extends through the
entire torpedo to the rear compart-
ment where an 1S-horsepower motor
Is housed. The speed and course OF
the machine are regulated by means OF
gyroscopic mechanism, while tins
ing device of some sort releases the
engine containing missile at the prop
er instant for it to strike its target.

FEEDING CALVES DRY GRAIN
Corn, Barley, Oats or Mixture May

Feed in Trough.

In feeding skim milk calves the
grain needed to supply the missing fat,
may be corn, barley, oats or a mix

milk or alfalfa or clover hay on hand,
and to these he adds iinseed meal.
cottonseed meal or gluten feed.' These
are all in protein, and when any one
of them is combined with skim milk
and alfalfa-both high in protein-an
unbalanced ration results and scours
or other digestive troubles follow.
The digestive tract of calf is
small and frequent feeding of small
amount during the first month is best.
During the first month it is better to
grind the grains fed. At the end Of
this period either oats or corn may be
fed unground. Hard grains like kafir
and milo give best results when
ground. All grain should be fed dry in
a trough. Mixing feeds with milk is
not recommended, as calves chew their
feed better when fed dry.
