A little old man sat on a little old
trunk on the deck Of departing liner
Yesterday and wept, turning his faded
ewes away when any one approached
like a child who is ashamed OF his
tears.
On the pier below and along the rail-
where his companions gathered, the
flag Of the newest republic snapped IN
the wet wind. The men along the rail-
shouted, Long live Russial Long live

public! Freedom above everything!
They were going home, twenty OF
them. Political exiles, cast forth from
their nation, they we're returning to her

FEED COWS BEFORE cALVlNG
Practical Dairymen Agree That Prepa.
ration Has Much 20 Do With
she Amount Of MILK.

10y n. Il. KrLDEE. University Farm.
st. Paul. Mimi
The proper time to begin feeding q
dairy cow is six or eight weeks before
Icalving, and practical dairymen agree
that this preparation has more to do
with the amount of milk and butterfat
which a cow produces during the lacta-
lhon period than does the feeding dur.
ing any other period.
For cows calvfng during the sum-
mer or early fall most dairymen like
10 have a small pasture away from the
herd but with an abundance Of grass,
and, In addition, they like to feed a
suitable grain mixture. Corn silage,
with clover or alfalfa hay and a limit
led grain ration Of three parts ground
oats, two parts Of bran and n part
OF oilmeal Is especially good for cows
calving during winter or early spring.
After calving the COWS should be
brought slowly up to full feed and
thereby steadily to q higher produc-
tion.

PARTICULAR CARE FOR MILK
iFIavors in Dairy Products May Be
Prevented by Keeping Cows
From Eating Weeds.

Don't let your dairy products taste
of weeds OR grass, if you can avoid it.
Because butterfat absorbs %favors, par
rticular care should be taken in han
ding milk, cream and butter, accord
ing to N. E. Olson, instructor in
dairy husbandry in the Kansas State
Agricultural college.
"The principal favors derived from
feeds are the weedy %flavors," said Mr..
Olson. I'm the spring creameries have
trouble with the wild onion flavor. This
is something that the farmer cannot
prevent, and is caused by early pastur-
ing.
Another common flavor is the half
grass flavor, produced from green feed
in the early spring. 1t can be tasted
in milk, cream, and also in ice cream.
1t is found in practically all dairy
products in the spring"
The method Of preventing these fa-
vors is keeping the COWS from eating
weeds, pointed out Mr.. Olson. Weedy
patches in pastures should be fenced
off so that the cows cannot get to them.
Other flavors are produced through the
feeding Of alfalfa and silage. If silage
is fed, it is advisable to feed it after
milking rather than before.

USING MANURE FOR ALFALFA
Astonishing to See Extraordinary
Growth Where Strip Of Fertilizer
Had Been Spread.

Many alfalfa growers claim that ma
nure makes an excellent substitute
for lime for alfalfa. Some have gone
SO far es to claim that manure inocu-
lates alfalfa, says a writer in an e1-
change. However that may be, we
have several times been astonished to
see the extraordinary growth Of al
falfa where q strip Of manur had
been spread across the field for e1-
~perimental purposes.
Recently, 626 alfalfa growers who
had spread manure on alfalfa, report
ed an average yield Of 80 tons to the
acre, whereas Ala who had used no
manure reported only 3.4 tons to the
acre. A half ton Of alfalfa will pay
for considerable manure. Moreover,
manure is applied to alfalfa ground
before seeding.

VI all early start.
There may be two reasons for this.
Plants raised in a cold frame are
necessarily less hardy than those
grown in the open. If the weather
happens to be sufficiently mild for
two or three days after the trans
planting occurs the plant will adapt
itself to the change. But if the wind
veers about into the north or north
west and there is a marked drop in
temperature the shocks too great
and the blossoms go. Experienced
growers watch for what they antici-
pate will be a settled spell of spring
weather-even delaying the removal of
their plants to the open for a week or
ten days beyond the time they feel
the change should occur, in order to
avoid loss Of blossoms.

BUYING AND SELLING EGGS
Prominent Dealer in Food Supplies

GOOD SLOGAN FOR DAIRYMAN

H%igh-priced dairy feeds Of last win

things, according to the animal hus-
bandmen at Cornell. The first is that
good corn silage and other roughage

mated; the second Is that there is a
greater need for good COWS than ever
before. This Is nc time to be feeding
poor producers, and the man who has
purebreds is getting double value for
his feed The dairyman's slogan for
next year should be purebreds, a slo,

GREAT NEED OF FOOD
No Danger of 0verproduction
This Year-Dean Mumford.
Any Surplus Which American Farmero
Can Produce Will Be Quickly Abb
sorbed by Hungry People of
England and France.

While the farmer Is being urged to
greater and greater production, he
naturally considers the possibility of
oyerproduction. Many farmers in
the state have advanced this question.
According to Dean F. B. Mumford in
the Missouri College Of Agriculture,
overproduction is exceedingly improb-
able this year. 1t has been agreed that
this country's part in the war will be
largely to supply food. sour food
resources have been depleted by ship
ments to Europe and by several poor
crop years." said Dean Mumford re-
Gently, land now with unrestricted eX-
port to the allies, the small reserve
which we have will be further de-
creased. Any surplus which the
American farmers can produce will be
quickly absorbed at wartime prices.
Millions of people in England, France
and other countries at war with the
German powers are in need Of food.
They must have food not only for
their civilian population but for their
armies. They are too busy fighting to
provide that food themselves. 1t then
behooves the United States to supply
food.
"But it is not alone for the allies
that we must produce maximum crops.
If we should have a poor crop year
throughout the country, u W peo-
pie may actually suffer.
eff Germany is able to continue the
ruthless submarine warfare unhin-
dered. some food will be lost on its
way to Europe. Consequently the
losses will tend toward a further short
age and to absorb any surplus even if
there were danger of overproduction."
What would happen if peace should
come within the next few weekSE
Would not the markets be glutted?
In answer to these questions, Dean
Mumford said: "It is doubtful If
there will be a great decrease in the
demand for food Immediately following
the war. With commerce restored,
every nation which Is now at war
will become a market place for Amer
lean farm produce. Those countries
have no food reserve left and they
will turn to the United States to fur
nish food during reconstruction, and
until they can feed themselves"

Of food in America, Dean Mumford
cites the condition "f -"

WHY sHoRTHoRN is FAVORED
Beef Must Come Along With Milk Is
cIaim-Dairy Cattle Breeders Have
! Good Argument.

One reason why the milking Short
horn is being called to the attention Of
corn-belt farmers who must come in
evitably to %dairying, is that the corn
belt is committed to beef and cannot
easily give up to dairying exclusively.
The farmer who takes a dairy bull
calf to market and gets So or 81 for
t, is likely to feel cheated, be-
cause he will remember the beef calf
that grew into q likely steer and
brought a good profit.
OF course, the dairy cattle breeders
have their arguments-and good ones.

GOOD GARDEN SEED FAVORED
Essential In Successful Gardening
Best Way Is to Patronize Some

Good garden seed is an essential IN

plant seed that won't terminate, and
it Is almost as bad to find that the
seed which has been planted Is untrue

In order to avoid all annoyance it is
best to secure good seed. When buying
garden seed demand that it be fresh
likewise insist that 1t be true to name.

Shorthorns on Kansas Farm.

But the fact remains that the farmer,
generally speaking, will be hard to
Iwean away from the beef type. The
lShorthorn's reputation as a leading
beef animal will appeal to the farmer,
for he still can have his beef along
with his milk.
This argument may apply to other
dual purpose cattle, perhaps. but 1t is
ESPECIALLY good with q beef animal that
Ican perform well in the dairy.
