(By w. M.

Good stable management is an i'm
portant factor in determining the
profits from the dairy herd during the
winter. The first essential is that the
cows be comfortable, because a COW
kept otherwise can never do her
best.
She must have n comfortable place
to lie down, stand up, move and
stretch her limbs and lick herself all
over the body. She must have sun
shine and plenty Of light. She may
have pure air to breathe, and this
means that the stable must be provid-
ed with some system of ventilation to
give a frequent change of air.
This need not be expensive, only n
little forethought and a few dollars
worth of material and labor. She must
have good pure water at least twice a
day, or better still, have an automatic
water basin at her side.
The stable should be cleaned daily,
and be thoroughly disinfected. The
ceiling, floor and sides should all be
and the fixtures largely iron. 1t is
not expensive, and they are sanitary
and permanent.
Large, smooth, concrete hangers for
feeding are about the best we know of
today. Judgment and common sense
must be exercised in the methods of
feeding and handling cows. Fixed
rules in feeding are not practical.
Best Feeding Methods.
Overlooking is wasteful /; underfeed.
Ing is Improbable. The cows must
be well nourished at all times, but II
given more than they need for main
tenance and production, they waste II
as a rule.
Never stir up dust or foul odors at
milking time. If you do, a lot of it is
sure to get into the milk.
Whether to feed the cows just be,
fore milking is a much debated ques-
ton. 1t is not at all dangerous to feed
them a little grain, provided you stir
up no dust or disagreeable odors.
As a rule, the cows will give down
their milk more freely when they have
contented minds, and a little of the

MARKETING OF BROOD soWS
Good Animals Sometimes Sacrificed
When Little Forethought Would
Cause Retention.

At this time the marketing of o
SOW that can be or has been bred IL
fairly comparable to "killing the goose
that laid the golden egg" Although
the fecnndity of swine is well appre-
ciated by farmers, at times sows are
sacrificed when a little ~forethought
would cause them to be retained.
Breeding sows multiply five or six
times as rapidly as other meat n
inals. They have an average litter of
five or six pigs and may be bred twice
a year, although three times in We
years accords more with current farm
practice. The filters increase in size,
on the average, until sows are five or
six years old. However, a large pro-
portion of the sow are sold after pro-
ducing one or two filters and before
they have reached the period of great
est productivity.

WINTER KILLING OF
TREES EXPLAINED
Loss of Moisture Results in More
or Less Drying Up of lis
sues of the Plant.

(By c.. B. wALDRoN. Missouri College
of Agriculture.)
It is commonly supposed that If
trees are given a sufficiently moist soil
during their growing period hat their
winter condition in this respect is n
matter of little Importance.
AS a matter of fact, trees are giving
off moisture ut all seasons of the year
though to a much less extent, of
course, in cold weather. During the
warm sunny days in winter there is II
considerable loss of moisture through
the twigs and except in very severe
weather the roots are able to furnish
this loss though the soil about them
be frozen. The ability to do this is
naturally less If the soil be dry or
frozen very hard. In that case the
loss of moisture results in n more or
less complete drying up of the tissues
of the plant and this often results in
the death of the tree.
What is known as root killing may
in some instances be due to the i'm
mature or unripe condition of the plant
when winter begins, but in most cases
r%oot-killing follows dry seasons.
If the soil has been kept moist by
cultivation or mulchlng the trees are
safe but If the soil is dry it should be
thoroughly wet before freezing and
then mulched with old straw, chaff or
stable manure to prevent drying out.
The mulch delays freezing and this
in itself is an important item, as 1t is
the long continued frozen state of
woody plants that Injuries them to u
fatal degree.
A moist soil, then, kept in an I'M
frozen condition As long as possible is
the surest means to prevent winter
killing of trees.

HIGH QUALITY ALFALFA HAY
Very Necessary to Lower Cost OF Car
rylng Brood Sow Through
Winter; Feed In Rack.

Alfalfa hay of a high quality, which
may be supplied in a rack. for brood
sows is very necessary to lower the
cost of carrying her through the win
ter. In the alfalfa hay we not only
get a large amount of calcium which
is so essential and which is deficient
In wheat, bran, shorts and barley, but
we get a large amount of protein of
the right kind. She must not be ex-
peeted, however. to live on alfalfa
alone, Is that is too bulky. 1t should
be supplemented with u small allow
ance of concentrates daily. This may
be in the form of barley, wheat,
shorts, ETC., or better than those alone
is a mixture of barley and shorts, for
instance In equal parts.

aged grains, and garbage; garnering
grain behind cattle or shattered grain

terhouse b~y-products and dairy by

VALUE OF SlLAGE FOR SHEEP
Reduces Cost Of Raising Animal and
Supplies Succulence, P~aIatability
and Variety.

The addition of silage to rations for
all classes of sheep reduces their cost
and supplies succulence, p~alatabillty
and variety. Likewise, rotten, moldy.
sour or frozen silage should not be
used. Pregnant ewes should receive
from three to four pounds per head
daily during the winter. This should
be supplemented with two or three
ounces per head daily of cottonseed
cake and some hay. After the lambs
are born silage increases the milk
flow of the ewes. In the %fattening of
lambs and yearllngs for market the
cheapest gains have usually been
made when silage constituted a part
of the ration. Rams winter well on
silage as n part of their feed.

EXPERIMENTS WITH
CROPPING SYSTEMS
Results Obtained at Missouri
College Show That Rotation

Experiments at the University OF
Missouri college of agriculture with va
riOus cropping systems in rotation with
and without have given the
following results:
1. Crop rotation has been as eff
Client in maintaining a yield of corn
during the 25-year period as the addi-
ton of seven tons of manure annually
where corn has been grown contlnu-
ously.
?. Very heavy applications of COM
mercial fertilizers on all crops of n
six-year rotation have maintained the
corn yield at approximately the same
level as the application of seven tons
of manure annually, although the cost
of fertilizer has exceeded the value
of the increase, the manure has
brought a net return.
3. Continuous timothy, MANFRED an
nually seven tons per acre for 25
years, has brought the largest annual
net return, 1885 per acre, of any of
the systems used, where both cost of
production and cost of treatment are
considered.
On the last basis continuous timothy
without treatment netted $5.19 annu-
ally, a rotation of corn. wheat, clover
Melted $2.97 annually. without INT
and $4.S7 with seven tons of manure

manure lost 1920 annually, corn ma

way of producing pork. A SOW when
she is not developing a litter or nurs-
ing pigs, can in summer time be
placed in a pasture and given very
little grain. In winter, possibly the
cheapest maintenance ration is n COM
bination of grain and hay, such as
corn, wheat. rye or barley, and alfalfa,

grain should be limited to one or two
pounds per hundred pounds live

right kind of feed goes a long way
toward bringing about this contented
state of mind. Never clean the stables
just before milking, for 1t will stir
up a tenfold odor than any feed he
cows will eat.
Conserve Soil Fertility.
If there is any question before the
farmers of this country of more i'm
portance than that of conserving the
soils fertility, l am not cogniZant of
1t.
The most important business of
dairy farmers is to increase the guam
tity of manurial substances and apply
it where it is most needed.
All of the manure, both liquid and
solid, should be saved and applied to
the land. 1 believe 1t is best to haul
it from the stable to the field and APP
ply 1t as fast as made.
When all the liquids have been
saved by the use of absorbents, large
amounts of manure may be made and,
If 1t is hauled to the fields direct from
the stable, these liquids will drain into
the soil to the depth of the furrow
slice, and there viii be little loss from
exposure.
In addition, the cows will not be
wading knee-deep in the mire and
filth every time they are turned out in
the yards for water and exercise. Mos
of the work comes at a time when
other farm operations are slack; and
the soil, besides enriched, plows cas-
Ter and works up better during the
whole of the next season. o account
of being porous by being covered with
manur during the winter.
Time to Haul Manure.
When hauling manure from the sta
BILE to the field, we plan to haul the far
Their fields while the ground is frozen,
and close to the barn while soft and
muddy.
There Is no reasonable excuse for
n dairy farmer to allow more than one
third of his manurial fertility to wash
away in n dirty, filthy %barnyard, and
spend one or two weeks during the
busy season in the spring to haul 1t
across the muddy fields to get 1t or his
land.
