FURNISH PROTEIN FOR soWs
Alfalfa and Glover Hay Can Be Made
; Use CT to Supply Necessary Con-
stituent at Low Cost.

: In wintering the breeding herd there
arises the question of a cheap source
of protein. Where available, alfalfa
and clover hay can be made use Of in
furnishing this necessary constituent
at a low cost. The hay may be used
whole or chopped, put in racks, and
fed according to the appetites Of the
hogs.
If the Sows have nurScd q large lit
ter, it will be necessary to feed i grain
ration in addition to alfalfa. The
amount will vary from one and one
half to two and one-half pounds per
10 pounds live weight daily, depending
upon individuality and the condition
of the sows when winter feeding be-
gins.
A SOW will lose weight while nursing
a litter, and she must regain this
weight before her next farr9wing time
and carry her next litter in addition.
In case sows are wintered without al.
falfa hay, grain mixture Of corn ten
parts and tankage one part, or corn
five parts and oil meal one part, or
corn eight parts, wheat middlings two
parts, and tankage one part may be
fed.-Pennsylvania State College.

GRADUAL CHANGE IN FEEDING
Grain Supply Should Be Contin-
ued for Short Period.

The practical dairyman has learned
that any radical change in the winter
feed of his cows should be made grad
ually if the milk flow is not to suffer.
He is most likely TO overlook the ef-
fects of turning his cows out to the
fresh spring pastures.
Experiments which the Missouri col
lege of agriculture has conducted have
shown that Il sudden change to pas
ture in the spring is likely to cause
the cows to be underfed for several
days. These fresh pastures are Sue
Culent, their water cGntent is very
high, and the COWS are not accustomed
TO depend on their own activity for the
food necessary for their milk. One Of
the results of this underfeeding, which
S practically likely to occur with heavy
Or moderately heavy producers, will
be drop in the milk flow. It is diff
cult to raise this flow after it has once
dropped, especially if it has been some
fme since the animals have freshened.
This underfeeding will also affect the
composition of the butterfat.
It is important that all changes OF
feed of dairy cows, including the
change to fresh pasture should be made
gradually, and good milk-producing an
imals should be fed some grain in al.
tiition to the pasture. This will pre-
vent the possibility of underfeeding.
The grain feeding should be continued
at least until the pastures become ma,
ture and the cows become accustomed
to craze for their food.

ening such compact surfaces as early
as possible. Whether plowing is nee
essary, however, depends very much
upon the type of soil. Most heavy clay
soils are best put in proper condition
by ploWing. Sandy or light loan soils
should not be plowed in the fall and
left bare during the winter i'll regions
where soil blowing is likely to occur.
If however it becomes advisable to
plow such soils in the fall, blowing Of
the ploWed area may be checked b!
top dressing with barnyard manure.
Deep plowing should always be done
in the fall or very early in the spring
to allow more moisture to penetrate
and the soil to settle before planting
time.
On sloping land the plowing, listing
and cultivating should follow on a level
along the slopes or around the hills.
! The moisture saved makes this a
profitable practice, and very often the
prevention of runOff is necessary to
avoid erosion, with the loss of the
richest portions of the soil.

hens are bc1E made on Che gro1nd by

then be used to prevent the eggs frop

large roomy coop should be placed over
the nest to keep the hen from being
disturbed.

He said the Withholding from
