VR(I1ARD
TO PREPARE GRATING WAX
Directions Given for Melting Resin,
Beeswax and Beef TaIIow-Make
1t into Sticks.

A good grade of grating wax may
be made as follows: Resin four parts
by weight, beeswax two parts by
weight, beef tallow one part by weight.
The ingredients should be melted to-
gether but not boiled. AS soon as they
are all melted stir thoroughly and pour
into a tub of tepid water. Grease the
hands with tallOw and work the mass
under water in such a way that it will
cool evenly throughout. When tough
remove from the water and pull like
candy until it becomes a light straw
color. Make into sticks about an inch
in diameter, wrap in oiled paper and
lay aside until wanted.
To use, simply warm by holding in
the hands Or by working it under tepid
water. 1t will keep indefinitely. If
the wax is lumpy it is because it was
boiled or because it was cooled too
quickly. Lumpy wax may be improved
by heating slowly preferably in a
double boiler or glue pot) until it is
completely melted and then repeat as
before.

Splendid Dairy Heifer.

Gent growth so that heifers may profit
ably be bred to freshen at two years
Of age. 1t is seldom desirable for a
heifer to freshen ut an earlier age.
In deciding upon the time to breed,
the size and development should be
given greater consideration than the
age, since it is important that the heif-
er have good growth by the time she
freshens. However, If allowed to be-
come too mature before breeding, es-
pecially in the case Of animals that
are heavily fed, there is sometimes diff
ficulty in getting the heifers in calf.
1t Is undesirable to have cows fresh
en- during the latter part Of the sum-
mer, because their milk production
will be seriously hindered by hot
weather, flies, and dried-up pastures.
Rather than have heifers freshen dur
Ing the summer months, it is advisable
to postpone their breeding so that they
will freshen during the cooler season.

ADDING VARIETY TO RATION
Feeding Alfalfa Hay Before Cattle
Run on Pasture Is Especially Good
in Avoiding Bloat

(By r. II. WILLIAMS, Animal Husband
man, Arizona Experiment Station.)
Stockmen have proved to their own
satisfaction that it pays to have some
alfalfa hay before cattle run on alfalfa
pasture. This is especially beneficial
in avoiding bloat and adding variety
to the ration. The animals seem to
get tired of s%ucculent feed and wish
q variety. On this account it is al
ways wise to have a feed rack either
in the lane or in the field where the
animals may receive the dry feed.
Dairy COWS especially will relish a few
bites Of the hay night and morning.
1t is a simple matter to keep this hay
in the dry lot adjacent to the barn
where the cows may eat before md
after milking. Better gains will be
made in the young stock and also cows
will yield more milk and do better If
allowed alfalfa hay while on pasture.

CAUSE OF DISEASED UDDERS
Bitter Taste and Rancid Smell in Milk
Traced to One Cow In Herd
Cases Of Sore Throat.

Dairymen have occasionally been
puzzled by a bitter taste and rancid
smell In milk, produced under sani-
tary conditions. 1t has been found
that such conditions can arise from
one cow In the herd with a diseased
udder and a bacterium has been isO-
lated as the immediate cause in the
milk. The bacterium credited as the
disturbing factor is said to belong to
the group lactis %aerogenes. On a farm
in Wisconsin they found three COW af-
fected with mastitis to which was
traced the cause of 200 cases of severe
sore throat among the persons using
milk from the herd.

MAKING LAYERS OF GRAPES
Operation May Be Done by Bending
Shoot Down and Burying Part
In Shallow Trench.

Layers of Concord and Niagara
grapes may be made Of the present
seasons growth by bending a shoot
down and burying a portion Of its
length in a shallow trench about one
inch In depth. Cover with rich earth.
The extreme end of the layered shoot
should be tied to a stout stake In an
erect position. BY fall the layered
shoot will be rooted and it may then
be cut off from the parent vine. This
Is a good way to grow extra vines.

HIGH-RENEWAL SYSTEM PLAN
Wires Is Required-Shoots Must
Be Tied to Supports.

The h~igh-renewal system of training
g%rapevines requires a trellis consisting
of three or more wires or other suit
able supports carried by posts or
stakes placed at convenient distances
apart in the row Of grapevines, the
vines themselves being planted s or 10
feet apart In the row. The first or
lowest wire upon the trellis is usually
IS or 20 inches from the ground. The
next is about Is inches higher, and the
third about 2 feet still higher. The
main trunk Of the vine is carried to
the height of the lowest wire or sup
port. From it a cane carrying about

PRUNING THE FIRST WINTER
Vines According to Character
of Plant Growth.

Pruning grapes the first winter after
the vines are started is most important.
1t is then that the horticulturist must
carefully study his vines, shaping them
according to the character of the
growth made by the plants. If the sea-
son has been bad, or, because of any
other reason, the years growth has
been weak and short, all the wood ex-
cept the biggest and strongest shoots
should be taken off and the big shoot
cut back to not more than three buds.

BREEDING AGE FOR HEIFERS
Time Depends Largely on Develop
ment and Season of Year Cool
Season Is Favored.

The age at which heifers should
freshen depends largely upon their
development and the season when it is
desired to have most of the cows
freshen. Although the larger breeds
do not mature at so early an age as the
smaller ones, in most cases 1t is pos
sible by liberal feeding to obtain suffi-

MUST RAISE DAIRY CALVES
To Increase Number of Cows 1t Is Ad-
visabIe That Farmers Begin
Raising Their Own.

If we are to increase the number
of cows, as seems advisable, some
farmers must raise calves of the dairy
type. 1t is hoped that many farmers
will decide to begin raising cows and
producing dairy products. The first
essential will be food for the family,
then a surplus to sell, then soil FER
tility which will be possible where
cows are kept.

these shoots are seldom able to care
