FEED cows BEFORE CALVlNG
This Preparation Has Much to Do
With Amount Of Milk and Butter
fat Cow Produces.

The proper time to begin feeding
dairy COW is six or eight weeks before
calving, and practical dairymen agree
that this preparation has more to do
with the amount of milk and butter
fat which cow produces during the
lactation period than does the feeding
during any other period.
For cows calving during the sum-
mer or early fall most dairymen like
to 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 limited grain ration of three parts
ground oats, two parts of bran and
one part of oil meal 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 a higher produc.

TEST SEED FOR TERMINATION
Proper Rate of Seeding Can Be De-
termined by Use of Wet Paper and
Two Dinner Plates.

Most of the cOmmoner seeds, in
Guiding the cereals, clover and alfalfa,
may be tested for termination easily
and quickly on the farm. Take fair
sample of the seed to be planted and
count 100 seeds. Fold a newspaper
SO there will be a dozen thicknesSes.
six by twelve inches; soak it in water,
squeeze out so it will not drip and lay
on a dinner plate. Place the seeds on
the paper so they will not touch each
other and fold the wet paper over the
top to cover them. Turn another din
ner plate over this and keep at room
temperature for four or five days.
Examine the seeds and count out
those which have terminated, and if
there are still seeds which have neither
terminated nor decayed, wet the paper
again if necessary and set away for
two or three days more, and again
count those which have terminated.
This shows the proportion of live seed
and the proper rate of seeding is de-
termined accordingly.
