PLANT ROUGHA6ES FOR COWS
Every Farmer Is Advised to Grow Abundance Of Alfalfa or Clover
 Concentrates High.

Grow an abundance of feed for the COW this season, advises A. s. Neale, specialist in dairy husbandry, division Of eXtension Kansas State Agricultural college.
 "Already the price of concentrates is out of sight Prices will continue high unless these concentrates are re- placed by the cheaper roughages," said Mr. Neale. Every farmer should plan to grow plenty of alfalfa or clover, and silage. If alfalfa or clover cannot be grown in your section substitute an, other leguminous crop, such as cow peas.
 During the next 12 months the pro- duction of dairy products will be due largely to the feeding of roughages in- stead of concentrates, as has formerly been the ease.
 "Dairy cows of quality receiving nothing but roughage can produce 200 to 250 pounds of butterfat annually, provided the roughage is fed in abund- ance and is composed of a combination of silage and d leguminous hay. Of course poor COWS will not do so well on this ration"

angcs or lemons. Then bring the whold mixture to the consistency of z stiff dough by the addition of q cheap molasses, such as is used in cattle rations, adding water when necessary Distribute this bait over the infected field in small humps, talk ing care to sprinkle it sparingly around each hill. In case bran cannot be read fly obtained, middlings or alfalfa meal may be successfully substituted. In fields known to be infested, the dis tributiou of this bait should be start ed as soon as the corn begins to ap- pear above ground so that the cut worms may be eliminated as quickly as possible and the injured hills promptly replanted. During the warm CT spring months cutWorms do most of their feeding at night and burrow into the soil to the depth of an inch or two during the day, so that the bait will usually be more effective if ap- piled during the late afternoon or early evening hoHrs
 Frequently curUorms migrate tc eul- uvated fields from adjoining grass land. and in such cases the crops can be protected by running q narrow band of fhe poisoned bait around the edge of the field or along the side nearest the source of infeSlation.

DAIRY FACTS Y
CARING FOR CREAM ON FARM
Expert of University of Illinois Gives Ten Excellent Rules for Farmer
 to Follow.

By II. A. RUEHE, Associate in Dairy Manufacturers, University of lllinois)
 l. Keep the cows clean.
 ?. Use covered milk pails.
 3. Milk with dry hands.
 4. Remove milk from the barn i'm mediately and separate it at once.
 ,. Set the separator so that it will skim cream that will test from B tG 40 per cent in the winter and from 40 to 45 per cent in the summer.
 6. Wash, scald, and dry the separa- tor and all utensils immediately after using. The separator bowl may be dried in warm oven, though the oven should not be so warm that it will melt the tin on the bowl parts, Setting utensils in the sun is a good practice, as the sunshine acts as a germicide.
 '. Keep all utensils and separator parts dry when not in use.
 8. Cool the cream immediately after skimming by setting the can in cold running water. Construct a cooling

A New Measure for Distance.

Some mud-beSpattefed autoistS were attempting to reach Nashville, Brown county. Even with chains on their wheels, they were wasting lots of gaso- line in Investigating washout or a valley which they had left triumphant ly only few minutes before.
 Three times in three hours they had asked the distance and each time had received the same answer.
 Bout three miles to Nashville.'
 It is true that in those three hours they had had one blowout and once they had to get a team of horses to pull them out of the mud But even so. it seemed as if they could not be more than half mile away. Finally they met man on horseback.
 'Iow far to Nashville? Three miles, l suppose" But the fine sarcasm was nos lost on him. He grinned and said in q soft voice:
 You're most there. It's jest two hoops and a hoilar away" y."-Indianapo- lis News.

YOUNG STOCK IS NEGLECTED
One Extra Pig May We'll Pay for .tit- tIe Attention Given to the Sow
 at FarroWing Time.

Probably there is no neglect on the farm which costs more than the neg Ieet of the young pigs, calves, colts. and lambs. and their mothers. A male and female must be fed and cared for during q certain period of time for every young produced It, therefore, costs. and costs more than often suspected To produce the young farm animals. II is consequently worse than folly to neglect the moth CTS at the time fhe young are born. One extra-ptg saved may well pay for some attention ta the sow at farrow- ing. f is gross error, the .#opalar belief that the sow which farrows in the woods produces the most pigs. On an average she produces less pigs, be- cause she loses more at and shortly af- ter they are born. Moreover. more animals die the first week after birth than in any other equal period It will pay=to give the young and their mothers extra care. - Progressive Farmer

PREVENTS MANY MILK DOORS
Avoid Feeds Having High Flavor, Such as Cabbage, Onions and
 Bitter Weed, Says Clemson.
Clemson College Bulletin)

Clemson College Bulletin)
 Several farmers have made com pIaint to the division of animal hus- bandry and dairying of Clemson col Ioge that the milk from their COWS have a peculiar smell and win not ehun. Just what k the cause of the trouble cannot be given, but the fol- lowing have been found to be the usual conditions when the complaint iS made The COW is getting nothing but dry feed. she has been milking several months. and there has been q sudden change in the temperature.
 The treatment for all sach cases fS 10 give the COW some green food CT potatoes or tHrniRs If she is con stipatea give her one pound of ep- som salts. Then raise the temperature of churning.
 Difficult churnins is due to trying ta churn whole milk or very thin cream at loo low temperature; hay ing the caurn too full and churuiag af toe slow speed Butter should come in uat less than 25 minutes.

GIVE CALF GOOD ATTENTION
of Straw-Furnsh Milk, Hay, Bran and Other Feeds.

The calf pen must be kept clean. Use lots of nice straw, not putting it upon lot of fermented filth, but dig out all manure very frequently and add fresh straw almost daily. Calves are so frisky that they tramp the straw into the manure.
 Separator milk, tender clover or all falfa hay, bran, eilmeal, silage, corn, such feeds are the stuff good calves are made of.

R0UGHNEsS F0R DAIRY COW
Animal Is Not Contsnt Unless Stomach Is Full-Feed Grain According to
 Milk Yield.

Roughness is the first important con- sidcration. A COW is not contented unless her stomach is full She should always have all the roughness that she will clean up and then the amount of grain she receives should be regu- lated by the amount of milk pro- duced.
 A dry COW in good condition should be fed roughness only, and does not milk producing COWS, the following rule may be used, and is found to work fair ly well: Feed one pound of grain for each three pounds or pints of milk pro- duced.

PEA PATCH FOR FAMILY USE
Two or Three Successive Paintings Should Be Made to Supply Table
 During Summer.

In addition to the cowpeas for hay, soil fertility, for seed, etc. q pea patch should be planted for the family table. Perhaps it would he best to say pea patches" rather than "a patch" as two or three successive plantings had best be made to supply the table dur ing the entire summer. If plantings are made from time to time table peas may be had from June till October in most localities of the Southwest, pro vided. of course. the season is favor. able.
