Gentle COWS are the result Of train
ing and kindness.
Mottled butter is due largely to U1-
even distribution Of salt.
The dairy farmer raises more grain
and better grain and gets higher
price than anybody.
Dairy COWS that freshen in the fall
should receive some extra feed six to
eight weeks previous to calving.
The best cows are never cheap and
seldom for sale; so it is up to every
dairyman to give the heifer calves the
most intelligent care.
Test your COWS for yield and butter
fat. You may be surprised to learn
that some are only loafers while 9TH
ers are profitable workers.

being fed and milked at a certain
time she becomes restless and uncom-

TOO MUCH SALT MAY
KILL SOME ANIMALS
When Taken in Excessive Quanti-
ties It Is Poisonous Chick
ems Are Susceptible.

By I. e. NEWSOM, Colorado Agricultur.
al College, Fort Collins.)
Samples of salt are occasionally sent
to the agricultural college for analysis
with the statement that animals, usual
ly cattle or sheep, were poisoned after
eating it in considerable quantities. In
no case has any foreign substance that
would account for the poisoning been
found.
Since salt is necessary to life and
is in universal use, it is difficult to
realize that in large amounts 1t Is
poisonous. Many cases Of poisoning
in chickens have been reported and
occasionally in larger animals. In one
instance salt was by mistake used in
stead of sugar in making cake. The
cake was given to the chickens and
killed all Of them. Chickens are very
susceptible to salt poisoning and, while
the amount that 1t takes to kill horse
or COW is considerable, this sometimes
occurs when these animals are especial
ly salt hungry.

PROFITS IN DAIRY BUSINESS
Unfortunate That Farmers Can Make
Living Even When They Are
Losing Money on Herd.

1t is unfortunate for dairy farmers
that they cannot always tell how
much they are making or losing with
out a great deal of study and investi-
cation. 1t is also unfortunate that
they are losing money on their herd.
If it were possible to Immediately de-
termine the profits and losses in the
dairy business farmers would not con-
tinue to lose money when they think
they are making a little. Men who
care only for a living are usually sat
isfied If they get it some way or other
ALT. such men are slow to realize what
they are losing by maintaining an un-
profitable herd of cattle.
The remedy for the situation is to
charge up the products of the farm to
the cows who are eating the products.
Test every COW and know what she
can do, breed to a purebred dairy bull
and improve the herd and then dis
pense with the boarders. There is no
mystery about how q man can lose
money on the dairy business and still
make living. He does not make the
living from dairying.

The most successful corn growers
realize the importance Of thorough
early cultivation, thus preventing any
check in the growth of the plants be-
cause of weeds or crusted soil. The
farmer should see that, from the time
Of termination to the maturing of the
corn the plants are not subjected to
any preventable unfavorable condi-
tons, but are given an opportunity to
make a steady, vigorous growth. II
their development is checked from any
cause they will never fully recover, no
matter how favorable the later treat
ment. As q consequence Of heavy rain
fall the stalks may increase rapidly
in height, and at the same time, for
lack of cultivation or Of soil fertility,
1r for some other reason, they may be
slender or of poor color. Thrifty corn
plants are thick, strong, and of dark
green color.
Horse weeders and harrOwS should
be used when needed to break a sur
face crust, check insect depredations,
or kill young weeds that start before
the corn is up or large enough to be
worked with other implements. Dur
Ing the first cultivation, or while the
plants are very small, narrow shevels

ally found desirable to prevent the
covering Of the plants.
Favor Shallow Cultivation.
Many comparative tests of deep and
shallow cultivation have been made,
and on the whole the results are in fa-
vor Of shallow cultivation. There are
but few occasions when deep cultiva-
ton is preferable. If excessive rains
Middletown transcript., 1916-12-23

have packed the soil and kept it water
soaked, deep cultivation will help to
dry and aerate the soil. Breaking the
roots of the plants must be avoided
so far as possible. If roots are broken,
the plants will rapidly produce other
roots, but it will be at the expense of
the vitality and food supply. After
the plants have reached a height of
two or three feet, the soil, even in the
middle of the rows, should. not be cul-
tivated deeper than four inches, and
usually a shaIlOwer cultivation will
prove better. For retaining soil mOis-
ture loose sell mulch two or three
inches In thickness should be main
tained.
The best answer to the question of
how frequently corn should be culti-
vated is that it should be cultivated
often enough to keep down weeds and
to maintain constantly q loose soil
mulch until the corn has attained it's
growth. To this end a greater num-
Der Of civilizations will be necessary
when rains at intervals of about a
week cause the surface soil to run
together and crust. This crust must
be broken and the soil mulch restored,
or evaporation will soon rob the soil
of its moisture. It is a mistake to
think that the longer the drought the
more frequent should be the cultiva-
tions. After a fine mulch of about
three inches in depth has been produced
its frequent stirring is not necessary,
except In so far as it is required to
keep weeds from starting. The essen
tial object of cultivation is to restore
the soil mulch as soon after rain as
the condition Of the ground will per-
NIT. If this time is allowed to pass
and the ground becomes hard and
baked, the crop will suffer greatly, for
the cultivation Of hard, dry ground
breaks 1t up into clods. causing more
injury than if such cultivation had not
been given at oil. All observant farm
ers have seen crops injured in this
manner. Many crops are cut short by
stopping the cultivation, because the
corn is too tall for the use of double

cultivator without breaking down the
stalks. If the condition of the soil de-
mands it, shallow cultivation should
continue, even though the corn is tas-
selling. A small implement with sew
eral narrow blades and a short single
tree may often be used for maintain
ing a soil mulch after the corn is too
tall for the use of double cultivators.
Some forms of the ene-horse cuftiVatOr
are especially adapted to cutting off
weeds. Blocks nailed on the handles
of the implement will protect the
hands from the corn blades.
It is sometimes profitable to remove
weeds even by the costly process of
hand hoeing, and at as late date as
the silking time Of the corn.
Walking Double CuItiVator.
With a good riding or walking dou-
Bile cultivator one man can cultivate
as many acres as two men with one
horse cultivators, and with the most
improved types he can accomplish the
work more easily and fully as we'll
Because of this saving of labor, double
cultivators should be used wherever
practicable. Two-row cultivatorS
equipped with four gangs Of shovels
and drawn by three horses are meet
ing with favor in the central prairie
states. As one Of these completes the
cultivation Of two rows of corn each
time is crosses the field, one man can
cultivate Is acres per day. In many
sections it is often difficult to obtain
laborers when they are needed and, as
with these two-row cultivatOrS one
man can cultivate as many acres as
two men with one-row two-horse cul-
tivators, their use is likely to increase,
especially in comparatively level Sec
tons free from stumpS and rocks
where corn is planted by means of
two-row planters. Some forms of these
two-row cultivators are mounted on
two wheels, like twO-horse double cul-
tivators, while others made for plOw-
ing listed corn are carried on runners
or low, broad wheels designed so as to
follow the rows made by the lister.

used to some extent on large fields
free from distractions. Very stumpy
land or tall corn may necessitate the
use of one-horse cultivators.
ShoVeIs for CuItiVators.
The kinds Of shOvels with which II
is best to equip either single or double
cuItivators must be determined by the
character of the soil, size Of the corn.
and the size and nature of growth of
the weeds to be destroyed. Without
exception, any form of shovel found
to do good work on a one-horse culti
vator can be attached to double or
two-row cultivator. In some cases the
surface cultivator does better work
than the disk cultivator which may
leave narrow strips Of solid soil that
are not covered with fine, loose soil.
All forms of shovels should be so ad-
justed that the looSened soil will make
a fine and even covering for the harder
soil beneath. Shovels sometimes may
be modified at the farm blacksmith
shop for special use on river-bOttom
land, where bindweed, man-Of-the-
earth, and other vines and weeds are
hard to control. Sharp horizontal
blades at the bottom of shovels strike
the weeds squarely, so that there is
little chance for them to escape by
slipping by either side, as is so COM
mon with ordinary shOvels.

will be constructed may be spent.
Provision is made for the return Of
the money to the treasury by applying
10 per cent of the annual receipts Of
the national forests in the state or
county until the amount advanced is
covered.
officers in charge say that the bill
will make possible the construction Of
many roads which are greatly needed.
Since 1913 10 per cent of the receipts
from the national forests have been
used in road and trail building, but the
funds have been inadequate to meet
the needs. Many isolated communities
within the national forests are entire
ly dependent on the government roads
and trails. In some instances these
settlements are said to be almost en-
tirely without means of eommunica-
ton. According to forest service Of
fcials the money now made available
will permit the construction of many
roads necessary to open up inacces-
sible territory, and will greatly facili-
tate the development of large areas.

PROPOSE NEW PARK HIGHWAY

Calls for 100000.

Good roads advocates have pro-
posed a great circular highway which
would connect the national parks Of
the West. The venture would call
for $1,OOO,OOO from congress, besides
assistance from the good-roads experts
of the department Of agriculture. The
proposed route would start at Denver
and run northwest, through the new
Rocky Mountain National park, and
enter Yellowstone by way Of Cody,
Wyo. Thence it would continue
through Idaho, Washington, and Ore
gon. To the west the road would in
clude Yosemite and other wonders of
California. To the south it would
cross Arizona and New Mexico, then
would run northward to Denver. Al
ready the route is marked by many
sections of good roads, so the pro-
posed project is not such gigantic
task as it might be. The entire route
is $500 miles in length.

URGE REGULARITY WITH cow
Does Her Best Only When MIXED at
Equal and Stated Periods Of
About Twelve Hours.

The COW can do her best only when
MIXED at equal and regular daily Pc
RODS of about twelve hours each the
year around. The full supply of milk
is not in the udder ready to be drawn
out before milking time comes, but
some Of it is produced by the glands
during the operation of milking. The
udder, however, is usually filed and
the COW becomes accustomed to this,
but if the operation of milking is de-
layed and glands cease to some ex-
tent to secrete milk, they will then
not be stimulated to good activity dur
ing the process Of milking. This in
jures the glands and produces a de-
crease in the milk flow.
