MAKE STOCK LIKE CLOVER.
Stake Animals in Pasture and They'll
Soon Develop Taste For tesunre.

My stock will not pasture on sweet
clover. They don't seem to like il
What's the trouble?" is the query be-
ing received from many farmers over
the state by the farm crops depart
memt at Iowa State College.
Do not discard such an excellent
pasture as sweet clover because the
animals do not like it at first, as they
are likely not to. They can soon be
made TO like il, even better than other
pastures.
Simply allow the animals nothing but
sweet clover for a few days. If the
sweet clover patch is not separate from
other pasture. stake the animals in II.
After few days turn them out where
they will have access to other pasture
as we'll as the clover Nine times in
ten they will then eat sweet clover in
preference 20 any other pasture.
Sweet clover is proving 10 be one of
the best pasture plants. especially for
sheep and cattle. Besides rarely ,caus-
ing bloat, as do red clover and alfalfa.
it IS nutririve, palatable when animals
get used TO it,, increases the milk flow,
grows rapidly and gives an abundant
pasturage.

NEED ONE COLLAR PER HORSE.
Habit Of Letting Bill Wear Dobbin's
Neck Piece Unsafe Practice.

Letting Old Bill wear Dobbin's coll
lar when Dobbin isn't working may
save. the price of an extra collar, but
it's mighty likely to put both horses
on the sore shoulder list when work
is most rushing says the animal hus-
bandry department at Iowa State Col
slege. -ae@
It's poor economy to use one collar
on several horses. This is common
practic among farmers and the cause
of more shoulder trouble than any
other one thing.
In buying a collar. be sure TO get
one that fits the horse. Poorly fitted
collars result in sore shoulders.
yiciousness and darkness. A property
fitted collar should rest snugly, when
drawn against the shoulder ION all
places OF bearing surface. but should
ctamp at no point. 1t should be long
enough when buckled to allow the
open hand to be slipped between it
and the Windpipe.
1t is necessary to properly adjust a
new collar. To do this, place 1t in
about three inches of water and let it
remain ove> night to take out the fac
tory stiffness. BY working it thorough
" it will become soft and adjust itself
to every inequality of the shoulder.

Ninety eight plans were submitted

placed squarely in the center of the
kitchen. equipped with stove and draw
ers, was the step saving plan suggested
by one woman. Several suggested an
alcove next to the kitchen for a can
nirg and vegetable room.
A wash room where the men could
enter directly from the field was the
farm wife. One woman equipped hers
with shower. The dining room
should be large enough to accommo-
date extra hired help. A box seat
along the sides. in front of which
could be placed extra tables, was sug-
gested. The living room was designated
as a place TO send men folks until din

to hold funerals.

WHY NOT OATS FOR HAY?
| Cut Early, Solves Problem Of Dispos.
| ing Of Late Maturing Crop.

Early harvesting of oats for hay is
the unusual practice suggested by the
farm crops department at Iowa State
College as solving the problem of dis
posing of this crop.
AS nurse crop for clover or other
lesunes. the great objection is its late
maturity. If oats are cut for hay when
the grain is in the milk stage, and
properly cured, the hay secured Is
regarded by many as nearly equai 70
red clover.
Remove the oats two or three weeks
earlier than usual, thus exposing the
young clover plants at a time when
the heat of the sun is less severe. This
practice also leaves more moisture IN
the soil to be used in producing a
strong growth of clover.

Number of cows in herd: Twelve grade
Jerseys and Holsteins.
The trophy is contested for annually
by the COW testing associations of
Iowa. If won three times in succession
it becomes the property of the winner.
A striking fact in Bechtelheimer's vic
tory Is the fact that over half his herd
are year olds. He has only an average
herd, what any farmer could have by
testing, but does not own one poor cow.
This is hut enc CO the striking exam
