Breed for General Farm.
SILAGE RELlSHED By STOCK
No Winter Roughage That Is Better
No Danger in Feeding 1t to
Breeding Animals.

For wintering the entire breeding
herd there is no rOughage that Is
better than silage. All the animals
will relish a ration containing it, and
it will create an appetite for other
feeds. Cows that are fed on all the
silage they will consume, along with
good hay, will go through the winter
in fine shape and make gains. Some
dry coarse fodder or straw should
always be kept before animals get
ting silage, as it reduces the amount
Of silage to be consumed and keeps
the bowels from getting too loose.
The succulent feed will cause the
breeding cows to give a good flow
of milk. even though the calf be
born in winter, and thrifty calf
will result. If the silage is free from
moldy or rotten spots there Is no dam
ger of feeding 1t to breeding cows.
Silage is especially good for calves
that have just been weaned. They
take to this ration quicker than to
dry feed and there is usually little
loss due to weaving The silage should
be supplemented with good cowpea.
clover or alfalfa hay, and the calves
should have a small amount Of grain.
A mixture of one-half corn chops and
One-half cottonseed or peanut meal Is
excellent.

GOOD WORD FOR DANDELi0N
Americans Could Save Money by Sys.
tematic Cultivation Of Yellow
Flowered Plant.

1t is astonishing to most of us to
learn, from an authoritative source,
that our annual supply of dandeliOn
roots comes chiefly from Germany,
Austria and France. BY the way. who
started the notion that this highly dec
oratiye yellow-flowered plant should
be banished where the owner makes =
pretext of well-kept lawn?
Well, dandelions were made before
lawns, and, luckily, they persist in
hourishing. The leaves supply us with
early greens" and the roots with
something renowned incidentally as
good for the liver" But why should
our truck gardeners stand idly by
while the makers of drugs import tons
of landelion roots every year from
Europe?
For the same reason, very likely,
that American sugar-beet growers buy
OR did, before the war-their seed
from thrifty and enterpfising German
and French farmers. For the same
reason that we have been sending good
money to Europe for many another
necessity that we might have produced
ourselves without waiting for world
war to cut off the supply.
Just what the reason Is 1t might nc
hard to say. Probably part of it is
something we overlook when we boast
of our national characteristics

May Develop irish Coal Mines.

The idea that Ireland will never
become mining country of any ac-
count is not the view Of the Newry
Urban council, which at their last meet
ing considered the proposals made by
the Irish Association of Gas Managers
ut Dublin, in view of the present con-
dition OF the Irish coal supply. If not
relieved, the gas managers said, the
smaller gas works must be shut down
and the government should be urged
to provide an adequate supply of coal
at reasonable rates. The Newry coun-
Gil approved this opinion and passed a
special resolution to be presented to
the British executive stating that the

nent of the large and valuable coal

Want Hens in ENGLISH Parks,

In the hope of saving Il large part of
the $40,O00,000 spent every year for
foreign eggs, an agitation is on foot
to throw open London parks for poul-
try breeding. The scheme is receiving
serious consideration from the authorl-
ties because it is one of the latest war
time economies suggested on a large
scale. The promoters of the idea have
asked for part of one park to start
with. The plan provides for 81 site
of about three acres and acconmoda-
ton for 600 hens. The leading poul-
try breeders OF the country Will be In
vited to send six selected fowls of the
same breed and strain. Scientific feed
ing tests are to be made. All the eggs
will go to the wounded soldiers, and
prizes will be awarded to the owners

HAIRY VETCH OF MUCH VALUE
Used in North Carolina in Rotation
With Corn and Cotton to Build
Up Soil Productivity.

About ten years go, on a piece Of
poor clay-loam soil at the North Caro-
lima station, vetch was used in rotation
with corn and cotton to build up pro-
ductivity. The soil was in run
down, humus-deficient condition and
would produce only meager crops, as
1t tended to run together and cement
after each rain.
Within five years, by the use Of
vetch In the rotation and the judicious
application of commercial fertilizers,
the productivity Of the land was in
creased more than 200 per cent, and
the soil was brought to loose and
friable condition. The vetch was. sown
each fall after the corn or cotton and
plowed into the soil during the follow
ing spring after it had about COM
pleted its growth.

STAGNANT PONDS HURT FEET
Animals Standing In Water for Time
Suffer From Cracks-Dirt and
Slime Act as irritants.

Many cases Of sore feet in cattle,
due evidently from infection received
in stagnant ponds. have been reported
to the veterinary department Of Okla
hOma A. and NJ. college. Animals that
stand in water for time suffer from
cracks and sores upon their feet after
going out into dry, hot dust.
The dirt and slime In the pond act
as irritants and cause soreness, which
sometimes results In lameness in the
animal. DR.. w. R~1shuler of the col

Zinc oxide one part. slaked lime one
