USE CARE WITH ACID SILAGE
Plan Of Feeding to Keep Cows In Good
Physical Condition and Induce
Good Work In Dairy.

A good deal OF corn is put into the
sllo every year before It is properly
matured. This year this is particu-
larly true. Early frost, or fear of be-
ing overtaken by II has induced
many farmers TO cut their corn while
IL had little but stalks, the ears being
quite undeveloped This often makes
acid silage and cows do not do as well
on IL as they would on well.matured
corn.
Where a man has to feed this kind
OF ensilage he ought TO be careful not
TO give too much at a feeding. A
small ration of this tender corn will
be eaten with great relish, there being
practically no waste. To balance the
ration and furnish a satisfying meal
there should be as much hay given as
the cows will eat up clean, not at the
same time as the ensilage is fed, but
at another time OF day. Then, too.
some ground feed will go very well
20 supplement still further the unbal-
anced ration provided in the corn.
This should not be especially laxa-
tive in its nature; the cows are get.
ting laxative food enough in the en-.
silage. Cornmeal seems a good feed;
or ground oats make rich ration.
Such plan of feeding ought to keep
the cows in good physical condition
and enable them to do good work in
the dairy.

CARING FOR THE BROOD SoWS
Give the Animals Good. Hearty Ra-
tion, Strong In Protein and Not
Rich In Fat-Making Foods.

People will tell you that a brood
SOW should not be too fat at farrow-
ing time. That's true; but that doesn't
mean that she should be starved to a.
shadow. She should be fed good !
hearty ration, strong in protein, and
not rich in the fat-making foods. She
should have plenty of exercise. She
should be in that thrifty condition
which makes her as strong as bull
but not fat.
There's no danger of her having too
much bone and muscle. The heavier
she is the better-provided that too
much Of her weight is not fat. An
all.corn ration robs her of the strength
she will need at the time OF her trial,
and fills the cavities of the body with
fat. Then she will be fat and lazy
and will kill her pigs by lying on them.
Or she may never be able to bring
them forth. Or her appetite for bone
and muscle.forming foods may be so
abnormal that she may eat them up.
But If she is kept from being too fat
by the simple method of starvation,
she will not give the litter the proper
amount of milk.
II the SOW becomes constipated be-
fore farrowing, as some sows do, ep-
som salts may be given in the slop for
three OF four feedings-just enough so
that the taste will not repel the SOW
and keep her from eating.
At farrowing time occur the most OF
the pig losses. Some of them come
from the absence of the owner when
the pigs arrive, and some from his
presence. The SOW should be carefully
watched, but she should not be dis
turbed In other words, no dogs should
be allowed anywhere near, and she
should not become aware of the pres
ence of those who watch her. A good
brood SOW stealing her nest in the
grove or fields will on the average
bring to the feed trough a better
litter than the one which is fused
over by solicitous owner. Yet she
sometimes needs help. Combine the
merits Of the two methods.

LINEN SHOULD HAVE REST
viii Last Much Longer " Given an
Occasional LAY or for a
Short Time.

Bed linen to last should not be used
every week, but should be laid away
in a chest every now and then for a
few weeks. This makes the life OF the
linen twice its usual length. Before
laying the linen away 1t should be
thoroughly dried and aired. Quanti-
ties of lavender should be placed in
the chest and between the linen. "a
will give not only a sweet and clean
scent to the linen, but will add to the
rest of the individual who sleeps in a
bed spread with IL, as the psycholo-
gists have discovered that the odor of
lavender produces rest and quiet. Law
ender should be used for bed linen
only and not for wearing apparel or
table or hand linen.
The rose scent, either in liquid form
or sachets, or the rose petals dried,
and the table linen, which should be
laid away for several weeks at a time
to rest" IN order to make the life
of the liner worth the original cost.
The scent of rose, on the table linen
suggests the out-of-doors and gives
an impetus to the digestion through
the aid OF the olfactory nerves. On
the hand towel, as it is passed over
the face, it tends to create energy and
activity, rather than rest or inaction.
There are many kinds of odor of rose,
and If one is not appealing to the
housewife. another will be.

In turkeyraising, even more than
with chickens or most other kinds of
poultry, good birds are essential to
good profits. To make scrubs pay more
than minimum is almost impossible.
About the only place where one can
succeed with mediocre turkeys is in
sparsely-settled country. where a few
hens, or small flocks of below.average
turkeys. ranging for themselves in a
wild state, cost their owners little or
nothing, and at the end of the season
bring in a little more-returning a
small sum on an outlay of a still
smaller sum.
Yet the overwhelming majority of
turkey'raisers appear to be content to
start with very average birds, and al.

FEEDING CALVES SOUR MILK
Experiment Of Department Of AerieuI-
ture Shows Scours Are Due TO
Uneleanly Conditions.

BY recent experiment the depart
ment OF agriculture seems to show
that scours are not due TO sour milk
but TO uncleanly conditions. II the
milk is not allowed to stand for any
great length Of time and not allowed
to become unclean II is as nourishing
to the young calf as sweet skim milk
and as rapid gains were made in one
case as in the other.
II was further shown that sudden
changes from sweet to sour and from
sour to sweet made no apparent
change in the calf. although the calf
was only a few days old. 1t was
found by experiment, however, that
sour milk does not prove SO favorable
in winter as in summer.

START IN POULTRY BUSINESS
Beginner Should Profit by Experience
Of Those Ahead Of Him-ien
Must Be Cared For.

The man who goes into the poultry
business should profit by all that has
been learned by those who were in the
business ahead of him, and should not
try to fight it out along the same lines
that were adopted by his predecessors
years ago.
Eggs, like plants and animals, are
not made out of nothing. The hen is
a machine for making eggs. If the ma
chine is a good one, cared for and
properly fed, eggs may be produced in
abundance at all seasons OF the year.

by both sides, but in the final analysis

Good stock does not necessarily
mean showroom stock. Nor does it
mean necessarily expensive stock,
though Of course as general rule
one has to pay in proportion for quail
ity. Good stock, with turkeys, means
essentially good utility stock; if the
showroom qualities are superimposed
on these, so much the better, but the
utility points are the ones that will
be found to count the most in the
long run. The most useful turkeys
are the strong, alert, hardy birds.
