F'rom the United States Department Of
Agriculture.)
When asked why they preferred to
have all their cows freshen in the
spring, number Of farmers in a north
western state said positively that win
ter dairying did not pay in that sec
ton. The agent Of the cow-testing
association, therefore, investigated
number of farms to determine wheth-
er 1t was the best practice in that re-
gion to have cows freshen in the
spring because there is then plenty of
grass, and "grass is a cheap feed"
He found that the spring-freshened
cows gave milk for time while the
pasture was good, but as hot weather
and flies came on, the flow gradually
decreased until by fall they usually
were dry. AS the owners thought it
did not pay to feed dry COW, the
cows were allowed to browse around
all the fall, picking up what feed they
could, and in many cases they were
forced to "rustle" around the straw
pile all winter AS a result, in the
spring many cows emerged with ribs
showing and were considerably weak
ened by the time they freshened. They
therefore got a poor start in the sea-
son, and in many cases their milk

ly production before going dry late In
summer. What is still more impor-
tant, however, from the profit point of
view, is that the fall-freshened cows
produced the larger part of their rec
ords while milk prices were best. With
the common idea that "grass is cheap
feed" therefore, this agent would cou-
pie the fact that 'butterfat is usually
cheap at the same time"
High January Record.
The highest January record Of this
association was made by COW which
produced 1,730 pounds of milk, or ap-
proximately 200 gallons, 3.7 per cent
test, or GA pounds of butterfat. Her
milk, however, was sold on a city milk
route and brought 20 cents a gallon,
or approximately $40 for the month.
On the other hand, if the owner had
sold his product on butterfat basis,
he still would have received 1920.
AS it cost him $5.37 to feed the COW,
his profit on a butterfat basis would
have been $13.S3.

METHOD TO DETECT
SUDAN GRASS SEED
Differences in Size, Form and
Physical characteristics
Noted by Government.

Seed specialists in the United States
department of agriculture have de-
veloped a method whereby seed Of
sudan grass may accurately be dis
tlnguished from the seed of johnson
grass, which, while valuable in some
sections, is considered so troublesome
a weed in others that state laws pro-
hibit it's admission.
Careful study of the seeds Of the
two grasses has disclosed differences
in size, form, color and physical charac-
teristics which are easily detected un-
der a good glass. Seed inspectors and
others interested in determining the
purity of sudan grass seed may OBJ
tain a technical description of this
method in Department Bulletin 406,

agent points out, that the average cow,
so mishandled, could produce only
about $50 pounds Of butterfat a year.
Scrub Moneymakers.
Many so-called scrub cows, the agent
points out, If freshened in the fall and
given the right kind of feed and treat
ment during the winter before coming
on grass for the latter part of their
lactatlon period would prove to be
moneymakers. This opinion seems to
be supported fully by the records of
the cow-testing association in the same
general locality. These records show
that the average farm COW that fresh
ems in the fall not only produces more
milk and fat, but also is more profit
able to keep. In one county many
cows which freshened in the fall won
a place on the associations honor list
for January and continued to produce
heavily during the winter. When grass

hats Of many other things. They are
not the hats of summertime, but will
not find themselves out Of place under

hats. vet they are not too airy and

hats of the demi-seasOn, and you may
wear fur scarf or no scarf at all with
them.

FEW POULTRY HINTS

SunfIoWer Seed Will Make Feath-

Feed the birds q well-balanced ra.
ton and allow them to molt naturally.
Sunflower seed will help to make the
feathers grow and also will help to
make them glossy and attractive. A
good laying ration ought to be a good
feather-growing ration. Supply plenty
of grain food and some meat. Keep
them free from lice.
The greatest number of eggs are
laid during the pullet year, and the
next greatest number the year follow
ing. On the average farm 1t is not
profitable to keep a bird for egg pro-
duction after her second year unless
she is especially valuable for breed
ing purposes.
The pullets should be put In their
winter quarters at least month he
fore they are expected to commence
laying In order that they may become
accustomed to their new quarters.
Only strong, vigorous birds should be
put in the laying pen. Keep every
thing around the poultry house sani-
tary.
A large proportion of the poultry dis
eases are due to improper feeding.
Feed nothing but foods that are In
good condition. Keep the drinking wa
ter pure and fresh.

of rolled oats, bran, and shorts. Each
of the heavier producers gets about
ten pounds of this mixture daily. In
addition to being well fed, the cows
stand comfortably sheltered in warm
barn most of the time and have access
to plenty of good water.
During the month six cows IL this
herd averaged 54.S pounds Of butter
fat, worth more than $16, Willie the
feed cost was approximately $5.37
apiece. The records kept by the COW
tester gave the dairyman exact knowl'
edge of the cost of feed and produc-
ton in the case Of each animal, and
thus enabled him to Gull out board
ers" and regulate his feed in proper
ton to the milk production of each
COW. The association record for the
farmer, however, seemed to establish
the fact that, in the region mentioned,
winter dairying can be made to pay.

successful way to teach child to put

1t on a peg low enough for the child
to reach and you will not have to re-
mind the child more than two or three
times of its duty.
If you cannot afford to have nursery
furniture for the child's room, you
should at least let the child sllare d

than broadcast sowing and covers the
seed to more nearly uniform depth.
Less seed, also, is required in drilling.
The seed should be covered usually
about one and one-half inches deep.
The rate of seeding should be two
bushels to the acre under average soil
conditions and two and one-half bush
els on heavy soils.
Every two or three years oat seed
should be treated for smut to hold the
disease in check. This year is good
time to begin. A formaldehyde solu-
ton will probably save your field sew
eral bushels an acre.
A termination test is always advis-
able, but especially so this year, for
tests are showing up poorly. Rigid
grading with tanning mill will also
help to get high test.

Oats grow best when sown with a
drill in fine and firm seedbed about
two or three inches deep. Fall-plowed
land is to be preferred. Seeding should
be done early.
Oats fallow cultivated crop in ro-
tation. Fall-plowing is best. If the sit
uation demands spring-plowing, the
earlier it is done the better. Following
spring-plowing, the soil must be
worked back, so as to unite the furrow
slice and the "pan." A good seedbed
can be made on clean land when corn
was grown last year by two diskings
