DAIRY
FACTS
FEED cows WHILE MILKING?
Much Depends on Temperament of An
imai and Person Who Milks and
Attends to Her.

There has been some little discus
sion recently in the various farm pa
pers on the matter of whether it is adj
Visable to feed cows while milking. 1t
would seem to me that little advantage
can be gained from such a practice and
there are Several noteworthy obiec-
tons to it, says a writer in an ex-
change. Of course, much depends on
the temperament of the COW, and the
person who milks and cares for her.
There are cows with a quiet DISPOSE
ton and not of hOggish nature that
will stand quietly while being MIXED.
In fact few cows will not stand more
quietly during the milking process If
they have nothing else to attract their
attention. If the COW is standing quiet
ly she sees the mixer when he ap-
proaches and steps in beside her. She
also gives down her milk more freely
than when she is attempting to eat
at the same time.
On the other hand, if a COW has her
head down in the manager she will
probably not see the mixer when he
approaches, and the first intimatiOn
she has of his presence is when he
speaks to, or touches her, and if she
is of a nervous disposition she will
probably jump back and then continue
to annoy him during the entire process
of milking.

CHOOSING SITE FOR ORCHARD
Great Caution Should Be Exercised In
Selecting Location-SoiI Is Most
Important.

A person planning to set out an or
chard in the future should exercise
great caution in choosing the site,
because his success depends largely
upon it. The first thing to consider is
the soil. He should examine both the
surface and the subsoil as to the
sourneSs and the ease of working and
fertility. He should examine the sur
face and the sub-drainage.
Another important point that few
people consider is the air drainage.
If the orchard is at the foot of long
slope it is more liable to frost dam
age. 1t is also important which way
the orchard slopes. If it is so the
sun can shine directly upon it in the
early morning the frost is apt to do
more injury. The slope also has
much to do with the coloring and
ripening of the fruit. The land should
not slope toward the prevailing wind
because the winds will do the trees
much injury.
Not of the least importance are the
windbreaks. Do not select a site
where cedar trees are near, as they
harbor the apple rust. You also must
consider who owns it, because your
neighbor may not choose to leave it
there. If a prospective orchardist
will consider these points carefully
he is sure of success as far as site
is concerned.

PROPER QUARTERS FOR cows.
Suitable Place Must Be Furnished in
Order to Get Best Results
Provide Ventilation.

To give best results mich cows
should be provided with suitable quar-
terS for feeding and milking. Stalls
should be provided for each COW and
feed boxes and manger racks should
be so arranged that they will be of
easy access for cleaning at least once
every day. Twenty-Five dollars, plus
the labor, should fit any ordinary barn
with stalls for five cows and the nee
essary feed boxes, managers and gut
tiers.
Plenty of ventilation is necessary,
because the COW is somewhat like the
human being, she thrives best where
there is plenty of fresh air available.
Provision should be made to take care
Of the manure. This can be done by
providing plenty of bedding in box
stalls, or, if stanchions are used, by
having water-tight cutters about II
inches wide and 10 inches deep run
ming full length of the stable.

MICE INIURE FRUIT TREES
Excellent Hiding Place Afforded by Pill
ing Loose Soil Around Base
Keep 1t Smooth.

Mice are likely to make nests around
the trunks of trees, provided they
have loose material at the base Of the
trees in which to make Il nest. If the
young orchard is plowed, the loose soil
turned up against the base Of the trees
makes an excellent hiding place for
mice. Soil ought to be scraped bare
and smooth around the base of the
trees so no loose SOIL weeds, grass, or
litter can collect and enable the mice
to nest close to the trunks where they
will eat through the growing layer
thus glrdling the tree. This precautlon
should H. taken whether wrappers are
used or not, as mice frequently bur
row in beneath the wrappers, If the
soil is loose, and find shelter behind
the wrapper.

BORERS HARM APPLE TREES
II Round,Headed Variety Is Not De-
stroyed at Once They often
Destroy Tree Entirely.

tBy c, F. NIVEN, Clemson Agricultural
College)
The borers rank among the most de-
structive enemies Of the apple trees.
There are two classes of them, the
fOund-headed borer, which works at
the base of the tree, and the fat-head-
ed, which works well up on the trunk
and in the crotches of large limbs.
Round-Headed Borer.-The pres
ence of this insect is usually detected
at the base of the tree by the little
pile of sawdust castings thrown out
from an opening through the bark into
It's burrow. Often, several borers can
be found in one tree. This bOrer works
near the base of the trunk, burrowing
up and down, often going below the
surface of the soil. The burrow be-
gins in the bark and sap wood, but
soon extends for several inches into
the solid wood, often reaching the

CREAM OF HIGH PERCENTAGE
Keeps in Good Condition Longer Than
Thinner Artice-Easer Cooled
and Handled.

Cream that tests from 80 to 40 per
cent will keep in good condition long
err, is more easily cooled, handled,
costs less to transport, leaves more
skim-milk on the farm than a thinner
cream. On the other hand, with a
heavier cream there is a mechanical
loss by sticking to the sides Of utensils
when handling, and a quantity may
get into the milk while separating.

COWS FRESHENED IN WINTER
Nothing Better Than Legume Hay and
SIaae Mixed With Few Pounds
of Concentrates.

For cows that freshen during the
winter months nothing is better than
legume hay and silage mixed with
three or four pounds Of concentrates.
The successful dairyman feeds his
cows when dry, with as great or great
err care than when fresh, and this pre-
pares them for safe calvlng, and "a
maximum milking period.

RATION FOR H0LSTEIN COWS
In Addition to Hay and SiIage Each
Animal Should Have Certain
Amount of Grain.

Feed the cows all the clover hay
and silage they will clean up well
without waste. Holstein cows will,
on the average, eat daily from 10 to
II pounds of clover hay and 80 to 40
pounds of corn silage. In addition
feed each COW one pound daily of the

heart of small trees. If the borers
are not destroyed they often become so
numerous as to destroy the tree en-
tirely.
FIat-Headed Borer.-This insect is
found on the upper portion of the
trunk of the tree and in the crotch Of
large limbs. While the damage done
by it is sometimes very great, yet it is
hardly so destructive as the round
headed borer. This borer does not go
in so deep as the round-headed, yet it
sometimes girdles limb and even the
trunk. Healthy trees are rarely at
tackled by this bOrer. Therefore farm
ers who are careful with their trees
need not fear it to any great extent.
