FARMER ARGUES FOR
CALVES IN AUTUMN
Every Condition Is Better for Dai-
rymaE Then-Young Animals
Get Better Start.

Here are some arguments that a
thoughtful farmer puts up for having
the cows freshen in the fall instead Of
spring: =,
'.The fall calf usually gets a better
start in the world than the one that
arrives in the spring. The farmer
VIII have more time to take care Of
the calves in winter than summer /;
the fall pastures are coming on, fur
nishing the COW an abundance of good
green stuff that produces a large milk
flow. The fall pastures are more nOur-
ishing than the spring grasses, owing
to the fact that they do not contain so
much water. There are no flies or
heat to bother either the cow or calf,
and if dropped early enough the calf
will get a good start and learn to eat
well before cold weather sets in.
milk products are much easier
taken care of in winter than summer
and milk and butter prices are at
their best at this time"

YOUNG LAMBS LIKE
THEIR GRAIN FEED
Creeps Will Aid Materially in
Rapid GroWth-Satisfactory
Ration Is Given.

If creeps are provided where the
lambs can be fed grain away from
their mothers it will aid materially
in their rapid growth. 1t is surpris-
ing how early they will learn to like
grain. By the time they are two weeks
old they will always be around at
feeding time. A place II by ID feet
will be room enough for 36 to 40
lambs. In this is placed a trough IA
to 16 inches wide and 2 to 3 inches
deep in which they are fed twice a
day. 1t is worth while to be punctual
in the feeding. No stale grain should
be left in these trOughs. Clean them
out. A satisfactory ration will be
found to be one made of two parts
cornmeal, one part bran and one part
Oilmeal. Lambs like oats, too. Some
sheepmen prefer to fit up the en-
frances to the creeps with two rollers
held in place by springs. This is a
good way to take care of lambs of diff
ferent sizes and the rollers prevent
tearing the wool.

prepared by the United States DEPART
ment of Agricultureo
The gradual but steady decline in
the carrying capacity of native pas
lures presents a serious problem for
the livestock industry. The aver
age carrying capacity of the 100000
900 acres of public lands outside of
the national forests, which are practi-
cally all used for grazing purposes, is
today estimated at % per cent less
than what it once was. The privately
owned pastures show the same de-
cline. On the other hand, the carrying
capacity of much of the unfenced
grazing lan.ls within the national for
rsts has been increased in recent
years by the adoption of what is
known as deferred grazing.
This system is explained in an arti-
Gle I'm the new Yearbook of the de-
partment of agriculture, Improve
ment and Management Of Native Pas
lures in the West" This article gives
as the causes of pasture deterioration
overstocking and premature grazing.
/ 1t has been the general belief that if
stock came off the range in satisfac-
| tory condition the range was not over
stocked. In the majority of cases,
however, this is not true. Animals
which are allowed to Craze the green
feed of the choice forage plants near
ly as fast as it grows may for the
time being get enough to eat, but to
rob the plants continuously of this
forage rObs them also of their labOra-
tory for manufacturing plant food, and
they are gradually starved out of ex-
istence. In the course of five years or
so, the better forage plants are gradu-
ally reduced and their places taken by
less desirable grasses and weeds. The
condition of the stock. therefore. is not
i'm itself safe way to judge whether
a range is OverstOcked or not.
Premature grazing is injurious not
only because the vegetation, when soft,
Is badly damaged by trampling, but be-
cause tae plants are not allowed to
mature their seed. In practice, some
part of the rahge must be graZed
early in the year. When deferred graz
ing is adopted, however, part of the
range is set aside and the seed al
lowed to mature before the plants are
grazed.
Deferred grazing was first practiced
by the forest service of the United
States department of agriculture in
studies on the depleted ranges OF an
area In northwestern Oregon. An area
with one-fOurth the carrying capacity
required for band of sheep for an
entire season was protected against
grazing until the important plants Oh
it had matured seed. After which II
was heavily grazed. This caused the
sheep to aid in planting the seed b!
trampling it into the ground. The fol
! lowing year the same area was agaiI
protected until after seed maturity ant

FAT. FOR CHILDREN
FORMS A MOST IMPORTANT PART
OF THEIR DIET.
II Milk and Salad Oils Are Fed In
Any Quantities It Is Well to Avoid
-r~. Other Foods That Contain
Much Fat.

Fat Is an important part of the food
of children. This is not surprising. for
ii is found in considerable amounts In
human milk, the natural food for ba-
Ees. Butter, which consists chiefly
a, separated milk fat. and cream,
Shich is rich in milk fat and also in
the other nOurishing substances Of
milk. are both wholesome. Salad oils
of various kinds (olive, cOttOnseed.
peanut and others) may be given to
children in small amounts. Those who
are not used to table oil must often
be trained to like 1T. This can usually
be done by introducing II very gradu-
ally into the diet. A good way to serve
it is on spinach and other green's or on
tender salad vegetables.
There Is more than an ounce of fat
Cat least 21a level tablespOOnfuls) In
a quart of whole milk. If the healthy
child is given a quart Of milk, has but
ter on its bread. and meat or an egg
once a day, he gets enough fat. and
that which he receives is in wholesome
form. 1t is well, therefore, not to
give such fatty foods as pastry, fried
meats and vegetables, and dOughnuts
or rich cakes, for in these the fats are
not in so good a form for children, as
experience has shown. If the child is
cOnstipated, the occasional use of
cream or salad oil is desirable, for
fat in abundance is laxative.
Bacon or salt pork, cut very thin and
carefully cooked. may be given Occa-
sionally. but thick pieces with much
lean are not desirable. In preparing
bacon or salt pork 1t. is very important
not to burn the fat. To avoid this they
should be cooked in one of the follow.
ing ways: Put the slices on a brOileI
or wire frame over a pan; place the
pan into hot oven and cook Ions
enough to remove most of the fat. Oh
keep Il pan on purpose for cooking ba
con on top of a stove and let the fa'
which fries out of it collect in the pan
taking care that none is burned. Ii
time so much fat will collect that ba
con can be dropped into this hot fat
and will be less likely to burn than /
placed on hot pan.-Farmers' Bulle

Cattle in Buffalo Pasture Fathead Reservation Montana

was then only moderately grazed. This
gave the Seeding plants from the first
years seed crop a chance to develop
a good root system. BY following this
course on each quarter of the range
in turn the entire area was reseeded
naturally without depriving the stock
of the forage on any part of the range
in any year. The results obtained
under this plan were compared with
similar ranges grazed throughout the
season each year and with fenced
areas that were not grazed at all.
1t was found that deferred grazing
resulted in u much greater reprOduc-
ton from seed than either of the other
methods and that the production of
good forage species was particularly
great. With lands totally protected
against grazing the seeds terminate on
the surface of the ground, but, not
being planted deeply, the root systems
of the resulting plants are unable to
reach the moist lower soil and the
plants die from drought later in the
season.
The principles of deferred grazing
are being applied to national forest
ranges as rapidly as possible, and the
, results in practice bear out those Sc
cured eXperimentally. In the Year,
, book article already mentioned, pas
ture of 600 acres is taken for the pur-
pose of illustrating the practical APP
plication of deferred grazing. This is
divided by cross fences into three COM
partments of approximately 200 acres
each, arranged so as to give the best
distribution of water and shade. Be
ginning in 1916, No. should be grazed
| first No. 2 second; and No. 3 not un'
til the important forage crops have SCI
seed. 1t may then be grazed heavily
In 1917 area No. 2 should be grazed
first, area No. 1 second, and area No
3 again protected until after seed ma
turity, and then grazed moderately
