their place in the trees and heavier

Native species of plants, such as
spirea, witch hazel, dog-wood, red
bud, fir, spruce, and pine trees-these
are the varieties used and their names
are readily learned by the children.
In following out this scheme of

get one reason for it all. Long ago

that for a substitute for the village

Heavy feeding during the last month
Of the winter period cannot make up
for meager feeding in November or
December While it is economy to let
the stock run on pasture as late as
possible, the supplemental feeding of
rough feeds should begin as soon as
the pasture fails to supply enough to
keep the stock growing. In some sea-
sons wheat pasture is a great source
of feed for Wintcrng stock cattle. In
pasturing wheat provision should al
ways be made to feed the cattle in
the yard when the wheat fields would
be injured by the tranping. This is
simple matter where feed is stored in
silO, for stock can be changed from
green pasture to silage and back again
to pasture with little difficulty. The
change to dry feed is less easily made.
The most important point in winter
ing stock is to give them such care
and feed as will bring them through
to the pasture season worth more
money than when they went into the
winter. Unless this is done the feed
and labor put into them have been
largely wasted.

Care to Keep Them Growing.
In the western part Of our state
there is little full feeding of cattle.
The stock being carried through the
winter consists almost entirely of
calves, yearlings and the breeding
cows, says the Kansas Farmer. Sci
dom is it advisable to winter two-year-
old steers The feed will be more
economically used and result in great
er profit when fed to younger CATTLE
1t is common to speak of "roughing'
cattle through the winter, the thought
being that they are simply maintained
as cheaply as possible. While getting
Sock through cheaply is a good policy,
there should be different degrees Of
roughing for the different cattle. 1t
seldom pays to carry calves through
the winter on mere maintenance ra-
ttons. The calf that comes out in the
spring no heavier than when it went
