ual season. and very hard on the corn.
The spring was cold and w,t, making
the corn very late in maturing, most
of the fields having some soft ears
when the frost came. Then the month
of November has been unusually warm,
80 that much of the early cribbed
corn has been damaged.

PLANT ROUGHAGES 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 II 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 case.
''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 combination
Of silage and a leguminous hay. OF
course poor cows will not do SO well
on this ration"

MOISTURE FOR ROAD MAKING
There Is Certain Water Content at
Which Soil Packs Hard-Remove
All Grass and Weeds.

Road making is largely matter Of
moisture control. When soil contains
too much water it becomes mud, and
when it has too little moisture it be-
comes dust. But there is certain
moisture content at which soil packs
hard. And this is just about the
amount of moisture that a soil will
hold readily. This usually can be
maintained in q road that has good
drainage, that is well crowned so the
water will run off when it rains and
that is free from grass and weeds.
These If allowed to grow, will soon
draw the moisture out of the soil and
so remove the binding material.
Middletown transcript., 1917-06-09

the road is hard, smooth, dustless, and
without any ruts or pockets, according
to Professor Gearhart.
Where there is pocket in the road,
water will gather after every storm.
Oil works better on sandy soils than
on clay or heavy loans. Loan soils
may be helped by sprinkling a light
coating of sand over the oiled surface.
After the first year it is better to ap-
ply from one-quarter to one-third of a
gallon of oil to each square yard Of
surface in the spring and the same
amount again in the fall.
For laying the dust on city streets,
oiling may be as economical and more
satisfactory than water, particularly
if the soil is sandy. When city streets
are oiled it is best to cover the cross
walks with dust or dirt so that they
will not be covered with oil. When
the oiling process is finished the dust
or dirt nay be swept away. Surface
oiled streets are not satisfactory if the
soil is clay or loan, for the oily dust
blows about and is carried into build
ings and upon walks.

that will run off for the various types
and conditions of soils. For instance
the difference in the rates of percola-
ton for clay and sandy soils is very
marked, the latter permitting a much
higher rate than the former. This is
due to the fineness of the particles and
the compact structure Of the clay soils
as compared with the open, porous
structure and coarse particles Of the
sandy soils. The open structure of a
soil facilitates the entrance and rapid
circulation of both air and water, since
resistance to flow varies inversely as
the size of the individual pore spaces.
After a long dry period the pores in
the upper layers of soil become filled
with air which, until it is expelled,
tends to retard the entrance of soil wa
ter. A deeply plowed soil will absorb
greater percentage Of rainfall than
one where shallow blowing is prac-
ticed, and the greater the amount of
| humus in a soil the greater will be its
capacity to absorb water. The rate
of absorption after the top soil is sat
urated with water depends upon the
permeability Of the subsoil. A close,
impervious subsoil checks the rate Of
percolation and thereby increases the
run-off at the surface.
The water capacity Of the top foot
of farm land in good filth has been
stated to be or inches; thus soil IL
inches deep could absorb this amount
of rainfall provided the rain is sup
piled to the surface at the same rate
at which the soil is capable Of receiv-
ing it. If the former rate is greater
than the latter, the excess water runs
off over the land surface with We
locity depending upon the slope. The
sleeper the slope the more rapid the
run-off, and CORRESPONDENCE less would
be the time allowed for the absorption
of water by the soil. Hence, the steep
er the slope the greater will be the per-
centage Of the rainfall flowing off.
Reduce Height Of Terrace.
Were it not for the fact that the
terraces would need to be placed very
close together on steep slopes, thus
necessitating greater number of ter
races, it would be we'll to reduce the
height of the terrace as the slope Of
the land increases. This would OBJ
viate the difficulty encountered in the
construction Of large terrace embank-
ments on steep slopes.
In the field investigations many ter
races with closed ends were found.
Some followed contours completely
around a knoll or hilltop, forming
closed circuit with no outlet. But most
of the level terraces examined had out
let's at either one or both ends. In
the foregoing discussion the terrace
was taken as ~ feet high; with
closed ends it would overflow for
rainfall in excess of 8 inches in 48
hours. However, if one or both ends
of a terrace be left open liberal fac
tor of safety against overlooking is
provided. To provide factor of safe
ty for terraces with closed ends it Is
recommended that they be made about
~ feet high.

ROUGHNESS FOR DAIRY COW
Animal Is Not Content Unless Stomach
10 FuIl-Feed Grain According to
Milk Yield.

Roughness is the first important con-
sideration. 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
need any grain. In feeding grain to
milk producing cows, the following rule
may be used, and is found to work fair
ly we'll: Feed one pound Of grain for
each three pounds or pints Of milk pro-
duced.

the aid Of the farmer.
Good prices for labor should be en-
couraged.
Children in schools, able to do out
door work, should be freed for such
work and given credit in their studies
for the rest Of the school year.
The wheat acreage should be in
creased at the expense of oats, and the
corn acreage should be increased.
Tractors should be kept going "a

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
The many disastrous attempts tt
cultivate the narrow-base, level-ridge
terrace on all types Of soil have led to
the development Of a terrace with q
broader base, known as the broad-base
level-ridge terrace. The broad-base
embankment of earth provides the
strength necessary to withstand the
weight of the impounded water above
and the terrace is built sufficiently
high to hold all run-off water from the
drainage area above the terrace.
Figure 1 represents cross section
Of two adjoining broad-base, level
ridge terraces, with the various dimen-
sions designated by letter. The YER
teal height of the terrace above the
point is represented by h; W is the
width of the base Of the terrace, d
the horizontal distance, and v the YER
teal distance between terraces. These
dimensions were obtained from sur
veys Of eight fields representing the
best practice in the use of this form
Of terrace.
Height Of Terrace.
From observation Of field conditions,
and q study of the data secured, it is
believed that broad-base, level-ridge
terrace should be not less than III feet
high and at least 10 feet broad at the
base. Methods Of blowing and cultiva-
ton should be adopted which will tend
to increase the base width from year
to year and thus virtually transform
the whole field into a series Of ter
races.
Since the stability Of a broad-base
level-ridge terrace with closed ends
depends upon its ability to retain the
surface run-off water due to rainfall
over the area between it and the next
terrace above, it is apparent that the
reservoir capacity above the terrace
must be sufficient to store this water.
Upon this principle is based the design
of system of broad-base, level-ridge
From a general study Of the rainfall
records for the United States it is
found that rainfalls exceeding 8 inches
per 48 hours do not occur frequently
in a given locality, and it is believed
that provision for 8 inches of rainfall
in the design of system of terraces
would give satisfactory results.
To determine the proper vertical
spacing for a system of terraces for
any particular field it is necessary to
know the average slope Of the land
surface and the approximate percent
age of the rainfall that will percClate
into the soil. The former can be meas
ured readily by some form of leveling
instrument and the latter can be ascer-
tanned by knowledge of the physical
character, the humus content, and the
tillage condition of the soil. The sus
ceptibility of the subsoil to the perco-
lation of water also is an important
factor to be considered in estimating
the run-off.
Rates Of PercoIation.
It is by no means an easy matter to
estimate the percentage of rainfall

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

By H. A. RUEHE, Associate in Dairy
Manufacturers, University of Illinois.)
1. Keep the cows clean.
2. Use covered milk pals.
3. Milk with dry hands.
4. Remove milk from the barn i'm.
mediately and separate it at once.
5. Set the separator so that it will
skim cream that will test from 35 tC
40 per cent in the winter and from
40 to As 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 a 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 good
practice, as the sunshine acts as
germicide.
z. 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
