Care of Old Orchards,

The principal Ill of old orchards is
that the trees have to support too many
useless limbs. These limbs are drones.
They tax the parent branch and take
nourishment that would otherwise be
used In the bringing forth of fruit.
Chief among these useless branches are
the suckers and water sprouts. that
spring out from the base in great num-
bers. Nothing good can possibly ac-
crue from such growths. They should
be removed. Gnarled, twisted and bro
ken limbs mar the general appearance
of the trees, draw on the parent men,
Der and are fit refuge for injurious
insects. These should likewise be cur,
piled and burned. Other dead limbs
that still remain intact awaiting the
next heavy wind to break them off
should be accorded the same treatment.
In general leave nothing on the trees
save what is essential.-Iowa Home

SiIage For Steer Fattenine.

Silage has cheapened the fattening
ration for steers in Iowa. In a feed
ing test one lot where the daily ration
per steer was seventeen pounds of
shelled corn, twenty-nine pounds Of
silage, two pounds of oilmeal and one
and one-half pounds of alfalfa made
gains at a cost of 1857 a hundred
pounds, while another lot receiving
eight and one-half pounds Of corn, fif-
ty-one pounds of silage, two pounds of
oilmeal and one and one-half pounds
Of alfalfa made gains at cost of $7.67
a hundred. In the first lot the steers
averaged 2.94 pounds gains per day,
while in the second lot they averaged
3.04 pounds. Reducing the corn and
increasing the silage increased the
gains and cut down the cost of making
the gains.

FEEDING BROOD SOWS.
Care Should Be Taken Not to Have
Them Fat at narrowing Time.

Care Should Be Taken Not to Have
Them Fat at narrowing Time.
The feed allowed brood sows just
prior to narrowing is Of vital impor-
lance Sows should not be overfat at
narrowing time. If too fat they will
be feverish and constipated and may
farrow all the pigs dead.
A suitable grain ration recommend
ed by the Pennsylvania state college
school Of agriculture and experiment
station for sows prior to farrowing is
one consisting of corn, 400 parts; mid
dlings, 300 parts; tankage, 100 parts,
and bran, 80 parts. Oilmeal may be
substituted for tankage and the
amount increased to 100 parts in the
mixture.
A week or ten days prior to farrow-
ing the SOW should be removed to a
narrowing pen, which should be dry,
comfortable and roomy. narrowing
pens in a centralized hoghouse eight
feet square, with lots opening outside,
make the best quarters.
The day before narrowing the SOW
should receive only a light feed Of
bran, fed wet. For the first thirty-six
hours after narrowing the SOW should
be fed very lightly. Heavy feeding at
this time will produce heavy milk flow,
which in turn is apt to cause securing
in pigs.
At the expiration of the thirty-six
hour period the SOW may be started
gradually on a ration of cornmeal, sew
en- parts; tankage, one part, and sweet
skimmilk in the proportion of one
pound of grain mixture to one pound
of milk. If sweet skimmilk is not
available a grain mixture of cornmeal,
400 parts; wheat middlings, 300 parts;
snkage, 100 parts, and of oatmeal, 30
parts, may be used.
The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1917-03-23

If you want to get started in pure
bred hogs cheaply buy a pure bred gilt
due to farrow in the spring and good
pure bred boar pig. You can use this
boar on the SOW and the SOW pigs next
fall and also the following year. By
raising two filters a year you can have
ten or twelve pure bred sows and gifts
ready to breed by the time you need a
new boar. If you make good selections
in the beginning you can probably sell
few boar pigs for enough to cover
the cost of the first SOW and boar. 1t is
just as easy to raise the pure breds as
grades, and if properly handled they
are sure to be more profitable.

DRAFT HORSE ACTION.
Snappy Walk With Long Stride indi'
oates the Good Ground Coverer.


Proper action in the draft horse is
important, according to David Gray,
assistant in animal husbandry in the
Kansas State Agricultural college. Size
and power are of little value If the
horse has not enough agility to handle
big weight In a manner yielding the
greatest efficiency.
Action of the draft horse should be
clean, bold and rather stylish. In NOV
ing the feet should be carried forward
and back in straight line without pad
ding, winging or other irregularity of
gait. In order to get the best and
greatest stride with the least energy 1t
is absolutely necessary that the feet
move straight and smooth without de-
fects of gait.
Knee action in the draft horse is not
of great Importance. A long stride
which covers considerable ground is
much more important than high knee
action, as ability to cover ground is
what is wanted. The walk Is the I'M
portant gait. 1t should be snappy and
true with good length of stride.

ton period and while the COW is dry
is the secret of preparing the COW for
the succeeding lactation period. This
may appear to be wasting feed, but
this is the important period when it is
most valuable. During the last few
weeks of the milking period grain may
be fed at the rate of one pound to each
two pounds of milk produced. reducing
at the period when the COW is to be
dried. When dry, about eight pounds
of grain should be fed daily-more If
the COW is in poor condition. 1t would
not be profitable to feed inferior cows
this way The grain ration should be
bulky, laxative and nutritious, having
slightly more carbohydrates than
milk ration, with a nutritive ratio OF
about one of protein to seven of carbo-
hydrate and fat equivalent
During this period protein and fatty
tissues are actually being stored upon
the body to be used in the production
of milk before the COW is in shape to
digest and assimilate a full ration. 1t
is just as serious to crowd the appetite
during the first month after calVing as
to neglect to lay on this supply of nu-
trients The COW should be kept hun
cry.
A week before calving reduce the
grain to four or five pounds, feeding
mostly bran and oats, On the day of
calving a pound and half Of epson
salt, lukewarm water and good hay
are enough for a well conditioned COW,
although two quarts of bran mash may
be useful. Begin the next day feeding
lightly, and after four or five days In
troduce a grain mixture gradually. In
crease this gradually about one-fourth
pound per day. Do not expect a COW to
handle all the feed called for by her
yield of milk. If she has been properly
conditioned and is coming to a good
flow from one month TO six weeks is
early enough to get her on full feed.
For from three to six months she should
gradually lose the flesh stored up.

FROZEN COMBS.
Treatment For Fowls That Have suf-
fered Fr5m Frost5ite.

Treatment For Fowls That Have suf-
feret From Frost5ite.
Frozen or frosted combs and wat
ties are common at this season wheth-
er you house your birds in closed
buildings or those with open fronts,
Usually the birds in the closed houses
get the worst of it. says the Iowa
Homestead
Freezing of the headgear is largely
"a matter of poor condition of the bird
and dampness With sudden changes In
temperature Now and then a healthy,
vigorous specimen in good order will
get frostbite from undue exposure, es-
pecially to freezing winds. but gener-
ally there will be no severe frostbite
under ordinary circumstances unless
the bird is out of condition from indi-
gestion, faulty nutrition. too much
handling, etc.
Exposure TO severe cold winds when
headgear is wet with drinking water
is a common cause of freezing. For
treatment, thaw out the frosted parts
by rubbing with cold petrolatum; then
apply u mixture of one ounce Of sweet
oil with one teaspoonful of spirits Of
turpentine. Apply daily.
Do not take the bird into a warm
ROOT Warmth will cause trouble.

bran in connection with oats and corn.
The present high price Of mill feeds,
however, has led many feeders to re-
ject bran. There is no reason why
wheat bran should not be rejected in
the ration If oilmeal is given in the
amount recommended, said DR.. Hav-
ner. Although oilmeal costs more per
100 pounds than wheat bran, the cost
of a pound of protein in oilmeal Is
much cheaper.
There is a tendency to feed horses
too much hay. During the winter
brood mares may be fed from one r"
one and fourth pounds Of hay per 100
pounds live weight daily. If clean
clover or alfalfa hay is used only one
pound per 100 pounds live weight daily
is necessary.
A combination of the grain and hay
ration recommended assures a strong
colt and a good milk flow at foaling.

Hoo Worm Remedy,

A good remedy for preventing worms
in hogs is three pounds glauber salt
three pounds common salt, four pounds
charcoal, one pound sulphur, three
pounds copperas aud three pounds So
dunn bicarbonate. Mix and keep In a
self feeder or trough in a dry place
where the hogs can have access to 1t
at all times Hogs that are practically
free from worms are much harder
than hogs that are badly infested with
worms. Being harder, they are more
resistant to other diseases common to
the hog. So hogs should be kept free
from worms If they are TO be most
profitable.

PROFITABLE
SOIL CULTURE
MONEY IN ASPARAGUS.
Essentials For the Successful Culture
of This Profitable Crop.

Essentials For the Successful Culture
of This Profitable Crop.
During the life of an asparagus bed
each plant should yield a dollar In re-
turns" said j. B. Norton, speaking be-
fore q farmers week audience at Cor
nell university. Mr. Norton, who is a
specialist ON truck crops of the United
States department Of agriculture, gave
the following essentials for successful
asparagus growing: Land should be
well drained, level, sandy loan that
does not dry out badly in summer and
near to markets. Manure fertilizer,
green manure and lime requirements
should all be attended to before plant
ing asparagus beds.
Names of varieties, according to Mr..
Norton, often mean nothing. Choose
plants from stock that has good rec
ord as a producer; select from near
by field if possible, and be sure of your
stock first. Grow enough roots so you
will have ten times as many plants as
you will want for selecting the one
year roots for planting in the field. II
never plant two-year-old roots" says
Mr.. Norton, land do not believe in
starting the seed in its permanent
place. Root selection is a most impor-
tant factor in getting a good bed"
Start the seed bed in early spring
rows eighteen inches apart, seed ten
to the foot, one inch deep. give clean
cultivation. To keep the slugs and
beetles away use arsenate of lead or
chickens Pillow out the roots in spring
and plant about the time of the last
frost
After careful selection of roots plant
in rows four feet apart, plants fifteen
to eighteen inches apart in the row,
cover three inches deep at first
The trenches are made deep enough
to leave the crowns eight or nine
inches below the level. Use no inter
cropping system, but plant a cover
crop (hairy vetch or crimson clover
the first two winters. With rust resist
ing asparagus the tops are left on In
the fall and disked in the next spring,
thus saving a great deal Of labor and
plant food.
Fertilize with manure in late winter,
ten tons or more to the acre, or with
chemical fertilizers 800 pounds OF
nitrate of soda, 500 pounds of acid
phosphate, 300 pounds Of muriate Of
soda, applied before end of cutting sea-
son or before growth starts on young
beds.

FEEDING BROOD MARES
DUE TO FOAL IN SPRING

Mares due to foal during the spring
months need nourishing winter ra-
ton. A rapid development Of the young
colt is essential if healthy yearling or
two-year-old is desired.
Proper feeding Of the brood mare
during pregnancy determines In large
measure the strength of the colt at
birth. A grain ration Of three parts
oats and one part corn by weight
serves very WELL If timothy or mixed
hay is fed as roughage a handful OF
oilmeal should be given at each feed
The digestive tract will be kept in bet
ter condition, and the hair coat will be
much sleeker if oilmeal is used. Oil
meal is unnecessary when clean clover
or alfalfa hay is fed.
Horse breeders, according to DR.. 81.
a. Havner, in charge of live stock ex-
tension at the Pennsylvania State Col
lege School of Agriculture and expert
ment station, prefer to feed some wheat

Dairy Cow Efficiency.

With a good dairy COW the overhead
charges are less in proportion to the
work done than with poor one, says
G. 81. Eckles, dairy husbandry depart
ment, University of Missouri.
With a cow producing $50 pounds of
fat a year more than half she consumes
Is used to maintain the body. The COW
that makes $50 pounds Of fat year
uses the same amount Of feed to main
tain her body, but it is only about 80
per cent of her total feed consumption.
The remaining 90 per cent is used di-
rectly for milk making; hence a much
larger proportion of her total ration is
available for milk production, and the
feed cost of a pound of fat or of milk
is lower.

Fewer Cows, More Profit.

A year ago a certain Waupaca coun-
ty (Wis.) dairyman was dissatisfied.
He was milking eleven cows and get
ting a monthly cream check Of $35. He
Joined the Waupaca and Butternut
Ridge Cow Testing association. By
wedding out the robber cows and re-
placing them with good producers, by
giving the herd better feed and care,
he increased his monthly cream check
from ten cows to $40 a month. He
has one COW less to milk and a cream
check three times as large.-Orange
