IMPORTANCE OF PURE WATER
Large Amount Is Required by Average
Dairy Cow for the Upkeep of
Bodily Functions.

A large amount of water is needed
by the average dairy COW for the up
keep of bodily functions. In addition
to this, much more is needed in the
production of milk, as the latter con-
tains 81 per cent of water Practical
dairymen have found that it is a good
policy to provide the cow with plenty
of good, clean water. This is especial
ly true during extremely hot weather.
That flowing through a muddy ditch
1t not suited for dairy COW.
1t is also important that the water
be Of mild temperature, especially In
cold weather. Ice water taken into the
stomach of the COW causes a shock to
the system that is not conducive to
high milk production. The tempering
of this cold water in the COW uses
some Of the energy that might be APP
piled to other purposes. In the winter,
freshly pumped water is much better
than the cold water in the tank. Tank
heaters aid in overcoming this trouble.
A COW will drink a much larger guam
tity of warm water in the winter time
than of ice water.

REDUCE ACREAGE OF COTTON
Not Practicable to Economically Main
tain Soil Fertility and Grow but
One Crop a Year.

Our agricultural advisers as well
rs our farmers seem to have CON-
9letely lost sight of the true reason
Tor diverslflcation and live stock pro-
duction. To produce the food and feed
supplies of the farm is an economic
necessity which no one seems to
doubt; but this is not enough to build
up or maintain a sound agricultural
system, because 1t is not enough to
build up and maintain soil fertility.
Until we begin teaching diversih-
ration as q necessity for economical
soil building we shall make little
progress toward a sound agriculture.
1t is not practicable to economically
maintain soil fertility and grow one
crop a year on the land and make
the crops cotton and food and feed
crops like corn, oats, wheat, potatoes,
etc. We must reduce the cotton acre
age because of the necessity for
growing legume, soll-improvlng crops
and because more cotton can be pro-
duced on less land when this is DONE

BENEFITS OF DRAINED SOILS
Deeper Feeding Ground Offered for
Plants-Increase In Crop Yield
May Be Expected.

A drained soil offers a deeper feed
ing ground for the plants. The roots
of most cultivated crops will not go
into saturated soil and will die If kept
under water without air for more than
short time. The root zone is then,
not the depth above the point of per-
manent saturation, but only that soil
into which the fluctuating water-table
does not rise except for periods too
short to injure the plants seriously.
Drainage tends to increase this depth
to that of the drains, thus making a
greater quantity of food available.
Hence. an increase in crop yield may
ordinarily be expected from the drain
age Of such land already under cult
Walton.

else by jumping after 1t, but our ex-
perience is that when fed a moderate
amount of clover or ground alfalfa
they have no taste for any other kind
of green food.
Nothing equals cut clover for feed
ing the chickens. Alfalfa comes next,
but clover stands at the head and If
this is fed regularly and in moderate
quantities 1t will take the place of
all other green feeds.
Wet versus dry nash Is a question
that has received much attention from
eXperimenters during the past few
years. The general consensus of
opinion at the present time is that the
dry mash is the most desirable. Many
practical poultrymen, however, still
prefer the wet mash. Labor is one of
the greatest problems that the poultry
raiser has to consider, consequently, if
he can find a method which will be
labor saving and yet give results, it is
worthy of consideration. Dry mash
fed in hoppers is easier to handle than
any kind of wet mash. Hoppers are
now made which are rat-proof, sani-
tary and convenient. These can be
filed once a week and are found sat
isfactory. Experiments have proved
that eggs produced by hens fed dry
mash are more fertile than those laid
by hens fed wet mash. Wet mash is
slightly more forcing, is inconvenient
to feed, and requires more care in
keeping the feeding vessels clean.

ERADICATE WEED PEST
Canada Thistle Was introduced
Here by Means of Seed.
Only EffectuaI Way Of Killing Is by
Starving to Death Underground
Stems-Another Method Is
by Cutting It Close.

There is probably no weed pest in
the land that has been more heartily
condemned than has the Canada this
tie, says Wisconsin Agriculturist. 1t
Is one Of the weed scourges of Europe,
and was introduced here by means of
seeds. 1t is different from the tall
thistle or common thistle on account
of its deep running perennial root
stalks, which usually lie below the
reach of the plow This thistle also
has more slender stems and small
compact heads. From the root stalks
below the surface, there are being con-
stantly sent up branches which form
young plants, as shown In the illus

FOWLS RELISH EARTHWORMS
Excellent Plan to Turn Over Some
Soil Each Day to Provide Hens
With Needed Food.

We know the hens are fond Of
earthworms, and there are many NOR
sells Of food selected from fresh earth
by the hens; therefore 1t is a good
plan to turn some earth over in the
pen each day with a spade, says a
writer In Farm and Home. This should
be done each morning as the earth
worms come TO the surface each night,
then go back into the earth when the
sun comes up. Therefore the work
should be done between daylight and
sun-up. If 1t cannot be done at this
time some boards or an old door should
be laid on the ground where the dig
ging is to be done. This protects the
worms so they remain near the sur
face. A space of soil three feet
square turned over each morning will
furnish 20 hens with fresh earth to
work in during the day, and by NOV
ing Systematically about the yard it
will prevent the soil from becoming
contaminated with disease.

KEEP HORSE STABLES CLEAN
Practice Of Removing Litter Only
Once Every Week Is Worthy Of
Strong Condemnation.

The custom on many farms Of clean
ing the barns, especially the horse
stables, only once every week, ten
days or two weeks, Is to be con-
demned. 1t takes but a very few min
utes to clean the horse stable each
day, and benefits received from so do
ing are far in excess of the labor In
volved. Not only do the animals have
cleaner, healthier and more comfort
able quarters, thus minimizing the
likelihood Of disease, but there is an
actual saving in bedding. and In time
used in making the horse presentable
by use of the currycomb and brush.
An up-to-date litter carrier is a fast
time and labor saver and a stable
thus equipped is much more likely to
be kept clean.

MIXED POULTRY FEEDS
Best Results Obtained by Study.
ing Needs of Flock.
One Essential to Laying Hens lie Ex-
ereise-Many Methods Resorted to
in Addition to Scattering
Grain Among Straw.
By R. G. wEATHERsToNEl

Hens will do better on mixed feeds
than on any other. A quart of corn
meal alone will not give as good re-
suits as pint and a half of corn
meal mixed with some other food such
as cooked potatoes.
A great variety of chicken feed is
manufactured, consisting of mixtures
Of various grains, dried ground bone
dried blood, beef scraps and such
matter, but the best results can prob
ably be obtained by studying the needs
Of ones flock and supplying them at
first hand.
Exercise Is of course very essential
to laying hens when confined during
the laying season. To obtain this
many methods are resorted to In adj
dition to scattering grain among the
straw as for instance suspending cab
bage or bunch of beets about two
feet above the floor in order to induce
the hens to jump up to reach it. II
the hens are very hungry for this
sort of food they will get more exer-

HORSES ALWAYS IN DEMAND
Time Is Not Recalled When Farmer
Breeders Were SO Well Cleaned
Up on Draft Animals.

Like old wheat in the bin are good
draft horses of salable age. Both are
ready money whenever the farmer
wants to cash them in. Reliable adj
vices from all sections of the horse
breeding country state that the time
is not recalled when farmer-breeders
were so well cleaned up on their mar
ket horses, nor at such satisfactory
prices to the producer.
1t is highly significant that some Of
the big firms Of the cities are again in
evidence about the horse markets. The
man in the country who already enjoys
a ready market for the good ones
should prepare himself to supply a
still greater demand and at still more
remunerative figures.

OVER-PASTURING IS COSTLY
Field Robbed Of Growth Of Grass and
Abundance of Feed Taken From
Live Stock.

By over-pasturing we rob the field
Of its growth Of grass, and we rob the
stock of the abundance of feed they
need. A good practice is to pasture
three head of live stock where we or
dinarily keep four, says Guy e. Nor
rison. extension specialist in live
stock, South Dakota state college.
In England, where we all look TO
see better live stock and where pas
ture rentals run as high as $50 per
acre per year. we find the cattle knee
deep in a mixed grass pasture. In
places the beef type of cattle has dis
appeared, being replaced by the dairy
type.
We Americans can draw a lesson
from this. 1t gives US the idea that

GOOD MILK COWS ESSENTIAL
They Provide Cheapest, Best and Most
Wholesome Food for Family
Value Hard to Estimate.

The first reason for having good
milk cows on the farm comes from
the fact that they provide the cheap
est. best, and most wholesome food
for the family Their value is hard
to estimate when we consider the
amount saved on the bills. Their prod
uce is a superior substitute for many
foods necessarily purchased at high
prices. In fact there is no economic
way Of doing without plenty Of good
mich cows on the farm.
