FEW "DoN'TS" FOR DAIRYMEN
Overlooking Causes More Stunted
Calves Than Underfeeding-Feed
Them In Stanchions.

In rearing and developing dairy
heifers:
Don't overfeed. Twice as many
calves are stunted by overlooking as
by underfeeding.
Don't change suddenly from whole
to skim milk.
: Don't keep oGlves in damp, dark,
crowded, poorly ventilated barns.
Don't feed milk in dirty pals.
Don't be irregular as to the time Of
feeding, temperature or amount OF
milk.
Don't feed too much alfalfa hay be.
fore the calf is three months old.
Don't let calves suck each other
after drinking milk. They should be
placed in stanchions and fed gain.
Don't make calves 90 without water.

RENTING FARM FOR DAIRYING
HaIf-and-HaIf System Proves Most
Successful in Representative Sec
ton Near Chicago.
! prepared by the United States Depart.
| ment of Agriculture

| prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
The So-called half-and-half system Is
the Most common in use and the most
satisfactory in renting dairy farms in
representative dairy regions near Chi
cagO studied by farm management
specialists Of the United States de-
! partment of agriculture. Generally
speaking, under this system the land
/ lord supplies the land, the tenant the
| labor, and each shares the expenses
and income equally. The study was
| made on 143 farms in Green county,
Wisconsin, and Kane county (the Ell
gin district) Illinois, where dairyina
is comparatively old, well-developed
and profitable industry. In the report
of the study, published as Bulletin COB,
of the department, it is brought out
that while this system is PARTICULAR
ly applicable to the regions studied,
it is believed to be suitable in dairy
sections generally.
Under the half-and-half system the
landlord furnishes the land, buildings,
the greater part of the seed and fertil-
izer. and half the productive stock,
while the tenant furnishes horses, ma
chinery, half of the productive stock,
part of the seed, and sometimes part
Of the fertilizer. All stock is fed usJ-
ally from the grain and hay owned in
common. When a feed of any kind is
bought, its cost is shared equally be-
tween the landlord and tenant. In
general, each party pays the taxes on
all property owned by him, including
the farm road tax. though in many
cases in the North Central states all
the farm road tax is worked out by
the tenant.
Under this system the poultry fire.
quently is owned exclusively, in lin.
tied numbers, by the tenant, and he
gets the proceeds thcrefrOm. but with
this exception, each party generally
receives half of the proceeds of farm
sales of all products of whatever ma.
ture.
Less frequently dairy farms are
share-rented on the third system, the
landlord supplying everything but the
man-power, which is furnished by the
tenant, and getting two-thirds of the
sales of all products while the tenant
receives one-third. When feed is pur-
chased the tenant pays one-third OF
the cost.
The length of lease in the regions
studied ranges from one to five years.
In the Wisconsin district &c per cent
of the leases were for one year only,
none being for longer period than
three years, While in the Illinois dis
trict 63 per cent Of the leases were for
one year. In the Wisconsin group 35
per cent and in the Illinois group 27
per cent of the leases were verbal.
Seventy-five per cent of the farm in
come on the farms of the Wisconsin

INCREASE NUMBER OF SILOS
More Beef Cattle Can Be Produced
and Fed Economically During
Winter Season.

Prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
A silo campaign to increase the
number of silos on beef-cattle farms is
being conducted by the bureau Of an
imal industry in cooperation with
state authorities and county agents.
With more silos more beef cattle can
be produced and economically fed DUR
ing the winter. This campaign, there
fore. has a direct bearing on increas-
ing the meat supply of the nation. The
.ampaign is being given special atten-
ton in the Southern states, particu-
larly in territory which has recently
been freed from cattIe-tick quarantine.

tons for the first winter are: Two
parts corn, five parts oats. three parts
bran, and. one part oil meal; or four
parts oats, one part corn, and one
part bran.
Silage should not be fed to fcals to
any considerable extent. Sliced roots,
such as carrots and sugar beets, are
very palatable and have cooling eff
feet on the digestive system. The
quantity of feed generally should be
regulated by the appetite, although
occasionally the appetite may be too
ravenous to be a good Indication. The
general condition of the colt and
the droppings should be observed
daily. Usually not over one pound
of grain per 100 pounds of live weight
should be fed until the animal is two
years old. A liberal supply of salt
and good water and plenty of fresh
air and exercise are essential for the
proper development of young horses.
Idleness succeeding exercise will cause
constipation. 1t is often said that
horse is made during his first winter.
Certainly this is a critical time in the
animals life, and at no other age will
proper feed and attention do so much
to make of him a good horse. If
stunted during the first winter he
never will gain proper size and shape
Foals should be changed from dry
feed to pasture gradually ana should
not be turned on pasture until the
grass is old enough not to become
washy. Grass is an Indispensable fac
tor in the economical and proper phys
biological development of young horses.
During the second winter the feed
and management should be nearly the
same as for the first winter, except
that the quantity of feed should be
increased somewhat, the colt tied up
in his stall, and handled frequently.
Education by gentle and careful but
firm handling at this age will save
later much strenuous labor.
The succeeding years are largely
repetition of those already discussed
so far as feed and management are
concerned, although the quantity of
feed must be gradually increased as
the animal grows. The prime general
essentials for the proper develop
ment Of horses from the yearling stage
until they are put to work are: Fresh
air. pure water, plenty Of exercise,
palatable feed In sufficient
quantity, and shelter from storms.

required for the proper preparation of
feed in the giZZard. When the feed is
not properly taken care Of in this
organ. an undue strain is thrown on
the fowls system. often resulting in
disease, and also allowing much of the
nutriment to pass through the bir.' S
body without being absorbed. In every
pen or yard box of grit should be
kept. Investigators have asserted that
grit is part of the necessary feed,
giving the fowls strong bones and a
bright plummage.

as soon as the corn appears above the

eliminated as quickly as possible and
the injured hills rep!anteds promptly.
During the warmer spring months cut
worms do most CT their feeding at
night and burrow into the soil to the
depth of an inch or two during the
day, so that the bait usually will be
more effective if applied during the
late afternoon and early evening
hours.
Frequently cutwOrTns migrate to Gull
tivated fields from adjoining grass
land, and in such cases the crops can
be protected by running a narrow
band of the poisoned bait around the
edge of the field or along the side
nearest the source of infestation.

that there are three main divisions
separated according to the principal
stomach pOisons in use: % ArSenate
Of lead; (2) arSenate of lime, and (S)
paris green. Each of these divisions
is divided in accordance with the kind
of fruit: Pome fruits, grape and stone
fruits. These, in turn, are subdivided
into sections: CD Chewing insects (2)
chewing and sucking insects; (3) chew
ing insects, sucking insects and fun
gous diseases. These are further di-
vided, when a choice of spray material
could be given. To make use of the
diagram, the. first consideration is the
kind of fruit to be sprayed; next the
pests to be combated, and, finally, tue
choice of the spray materials.
Farmers Bulletin No. COS, which
gives information for fruit growers
about insecticides, spraying apparatus
and important insects pests, and which
can be obtained on application to the
United States department of agricul-
ture, Washington, D. c., so long as the
supply lasts, gives specific recon-
Negotiations in the selection Of spray
materials.
If pome fruits, for example, are to
be treated for chewing insects, arSen-
ate lead, arsenate of lime, or paris
green may be used but, as will be seen
in the diagram, milk Of lime should be
added to the latter two. If stone fruits
are to be sprayed for chewing insects,
it will be noted that nothing but arsen-
ate Of lead combined with milk of lime
should be employed. Again, suppose
apple trees are infested with chewing
and sucking insects and that arsenate
Of lead is selected for the former, it
will be observed that this arsenical
may be combined with soap, or nfcO-
tine, or nicotine and soap, or kerosene
emulsion. If apples are to be sprayed
for both chewing and sucking insects
and also fungous diseases and arsenate
of lime is to be used for the chewing
insects, nicotine should be added to It,
and lime-sulphur or bordeaux mixture.
