BEST TIME FOR THE CALVES
Autumn Is Favored on Account Of
Slack Work Around Farm-Dan-
ger Of Securing Is Less.

Calves may be reared better and
more economically when they come in
the autumn rather than in the spring
and yet this style of breeding which
had something of vogue 20 years ago
is still tagging. In the winter season
the boys have ample time to attend to
the calves and can give every atten-
tion to the amount of each kind of food
required to keep them humping along.
When calves are raised essentially
on skim milk and adjuncts, the chief
danger is that they may be more or
less affected with Indigestion. Now
when the calves are on dry food such
as is given to them in the winter sea-
son this trouble is reduced to a mini
mum. If skim milk is fed in large
quantities and some flaxseed meal is
fed at the same time when the calves
are on succulent pastures, it is almost
impossible to prevent them from scour-
ing.
In winter when on dry foods this
danger is much less imminent. The
calves may be carried through the
winter in good form and they are Wig
orous animals, if properly fed, when
the pastures are ready in the spring

SECRET OF KEEPING
HENS SUCCESSFULLY
Good Ventilation and DrynesS Are
Essential for Good Health
Of Poultry Flock.

Keeping hens in fresh, reasonably
dry air is one of the secrets of keep-
ing them successfully. In the hen
house good ventilation and dryness
are so essential that the most skill
full breeding, feeding and rearing
cannot make up for their lack. They
are among the fundamentals of good
husbandry wherever hens are kept,
and are very likely to be found to-
gether. At least it is difficult to Sc
cure dryness without a generous
amount of fresh air. It has been
estimated by scientists that hens
breathe more air per pound of live
weight than any other class of farm
animals.
Two hundred ive-pound hens will
breathe nearly three times as much
air as COW weighing a Thousand
pounds, yet they are kept in closely
crowded sleeping quarters. Every
hen in the flock breathes out impuri-
ties that are poisonous to the others,
and she breathes in the impurities
given out by them unless there is SUI
ficient ventilation to carry away these
impurities and furnish fresh air in
their place.

ter to produce crop of alfalfa on a
light sandy soil than on one Of heav-
ier nature.
A very heavy clay soil is likewise
not the most suitable for growing al
falfa, because (1) the roots have much
difficulty in pushing down through the
heavy soil and hence their feeding
area is restricted; (2) drainage is poor
in a heavy clay soil and the subsoil
may contain too much water for opti-
mum plant growth; (3) heavy clay
soils are difficult to irrigate. and if
the fields are not leveled properly,
when the irrigation water is applied
it will stand in the low places and In
all probability kill the young alfalfa
plants.
Another thing to be avoided in Sc
lecting an alfalfa soil is an impervi-
GUS layer of 'hardpan" a few feet be-
low the surface. A layer Of hardpan
is liable to cause a waterlogged soil
because it holds water very efficiently
and does not allow downward percola-
tion Of the excess irrigation water.
This impervious layer also hinders
root penetration very materially.
Another factor of importance is the
depth Of the water table below the
surface. Alfalfa roots cannot live for
any length of time in free water. If
the water table is within a few feet of
the surface, as soon as the alfalfa
roots reach this free water, the plants
begin to lose their vigor and very
soon die. This is due to the fact that
the roots become diseased and decay
in the free water and also because
their feeding powers are restricted to
such. degree that they cannot sur
vive.
Since alfalfa is usually planted with
the intention of growing the crop on
the same field for a long period of
years, the above factors should be
taken into consideration as much as
possible in selecting suitable soil for
our alfalfa field.

USE OF LIMEWATER
IN CLEANING CHURN
Essential in Butter Making to
See That All the Apparatus
Is Absolutely Clean.
(By E. S. ANTHONY, Pennsylvania


State College)
After the butter is taken from the
churn the latter should be rinsed out
with warm water, and the rinsing fol
lowed by a thorough washing with
very hot water. The rinsing out with
warm water will remove any butter
milk which may remain in the pores
Of the wood. The hot water will re-
move any fat which may be left in
the churn.
1t is never well to use soap powders
on the interior of the churn, but the
occasional use Of a small amount Of
dairy washing powder or limewater is
beneficial. To keep the churn sweet
and free from odors and taints a small
handful of lime placed in some water
in the churn or in the last rinsing Of
the churn is very effective. 1t is very
essential in good butter making to see
that all apparatus used is absolutely
clean and free from undesirable odors
and taints, as these are quickly alb
sorbed by the butter.

GUERNSEY GAINING IN FAVOR
Deep and Prolonged Milking Qualities
Make This Type of Dairy Cow
Valuable Acquisition.

The average Guernsey cow will
weigh about 1000 pounds. with the
bulls weighing 200 to 300 pounds heav-
ier, says the Agriculturist. The head
of the Guernsey COW is long, with a
slender neck. The body is large and
deep, showing ample capacity for dis
posing OF roughage. The flanks are
thin. The muzzle of the Guernsey
COW is usually small, curved and wavy
and may show yellow at the base.
One of the distinguishing characteris-
tics Of the Guernsey is the large Sc
cretion Of yellow coloring matter in
the skin, showing particularly where
the hair is white, as around the ears
and eyes and on the udder and fianks.
The Guernsey has no pronounced
weak points. The addition OF Guern-
sey blood in crossing with cows of
mixed breeding will result in high
er milk flow and in a richer milk The
deep and prolonged milking qualities
of the pure-bred Guernsey, together
with the adaptability to the conditions
of the average farm, make this type Of
dairy COW a formidable competitor to
the breeds which have a wider AMI

Although it is true, as most farmers
know, that alfalfa will grow and pro
duce fairly profitable crops on almost
any kind of soil, it is equally true that
certain soils are much better adapted
for growing alfalfa than others. In
stead of trying to adapt our soils to a
particular crop, we should more often,
If possible, try to adapt our crops to
the soils that we have.
In selecting a suitable soil for pro.
posed alfalfa field we should bear in
mind that alfalfa is very deep-rooted
crop, it not being uncommon to find
old alfalfa plants with roots 80 feet
or more in length. The alfalfa plant
is also a very voracious feeder and
requires large amounts of plant food
to produce maximum yields Of crops.
Obviously, then, from the above points
the best soil for alfalfa is very deep,
uniform and fertile soil containing
abundant plant-food material These

in our heavier sandy loans. silt loans,
and very light clay loans.
A soil with too much sand, /. e., our
almost pure sands and very light sandy
loans, is not the best for alfalfa be-
cause (1) of the difficulty Of getting
good stand Of alfalfa due to the blow
ing Of the sand particles and cutting
off the young plants near the surface
of the ground as we'll as the uproot-
ing of the plants. (2) Sandy soils are
very apt to be lacking in available
plant-food material, particularly nitro
gen, and especially after few years
cropping. (S) Sandy soils do not hold
water well, t. e., they have low wa
ter-Eolding capacity, due to several
factors, two of the most important of
which are the ease with which the
water percolates away, and secondly
to the usually low content of humus
and organic matter. Other things be-

REMOVING oDoRS FROM MILK
Federal Investigators Have DiscoV'
cred Method to Remove UnpIeas.
ant Smells and Tastes.

A method has been discovered by
the federal investigators for removing
disagreeable odors and flavors from
milk. The taste caused by COWS eat
ing wild onions or garlic can be re-
moved by blowing filtered and washed
air through the milk for thirty to
sixty minutes, according to the
strength of the flavor to be removed.
1t is necessary to heat the milk to
a temperature of 145 degrees, as air
blown through cold milk in a similar
manner does not remove the disagree
able flavor. 1t also has a tendency
to turn the fat into butter. 1t was
found that the onion flavor is removed
more quickly when milk is heated to
$50 degrees, but this tends to produce
a cooked taste and also reduces the
cream line. In the case of cream with
iavors of this kind, the same method
can be used, except that it requires a
slightly longer treatment. The loss in
evaporation by using this method
amounts to two or three per cent.
