GRADUAL CHANGE IN FEEDING
When Turning Cows en- Fresh Pasture
Grain Supply Should Pc 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 eff
fects of turning his COWS out to the
fresh spring pastures.
Experiments which the Missouri col
lego of agriculture has conducted have
shown that a 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 content is very
high, and the cows are not accustomed
70 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. 1t is diff
cult to raise this flow after it has once
dropped, especially If it has been some
time since the animals have freShened.
This undcrfecding will also affect the
composition of the buttcrfat.
1t is important that all changes Of
feed of dairy COWS, including the
change to fresh pasture should be made
gradually, and good milll-producing an
imalS should be fed some grain in adj
dition to the pasture. This will pre-
vent the possibility of underfeeding.
The grain feeding should be continued
ut least until the pastures become ma
ture and the cows become accustomed
to Craze for their food.

DISEASE OF IRISH POTATOES
Scab, Most Common Trouble, Can Be
Almost Eliminated by Soaking
Seed in FormaIdehyde.

One of the most common diseases of
any field crop is the scab of the Irish
potato. This disease can be almost
eliminated by soaking the planting
seed in formaldehyde, and planting in
ground that is free from the disease.
The formaldehyde may be obtained at
any drug store. Mix one pint of the
substance 40 per cent with 80 gallons
water Before cutting the potato and
just before you are ready to plant soak
them in this solution for one and one
half to two hours. Do not let potatoes
come in contact with sacks which have
contained diseased potatoes. All of
the potatoes should be soaked imme-
diately as the solution loses strength
if allowed to stand several days. 1t is
so little trouble to soak potatoes in
this solution that it is utterly foolish
to plant them without soaking.
