FALL FEED FOR DAIRY COWS
Will Go Into Winter Season
Thin In Flesh.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
The wise dairyman Will feed Hber-
ally during the fall months. Cows
which are not well fed at this time
will go into the winter thin in flesh and
with reduced milk flow. 1t will be ex-
pensive and largely in vain to attempt
to bring them back to normal flow af-
ter they 60 on winter rations.
1t will pay to begin feeding silage
and hay early. The extra feed given
at this time will not only bring good,
immediate returns, but affect the milk
flow for the whole year by putting the
cow in good condition to go through
the winter months. Cows which go
into the winter in good vitality and
with undiminished milk flow are the
ones which will make most economical
use of the high-priced feeds given them
during that period. Keep up the milk
flow during the fall months by proper
feeding. 1t will pay.
Cold, uncomfortable cows will not
make economical use Of feed. Their
highly developed nervous systems are
very susceptible to sudden changes in
temperature. This should be borne In
mind In the fall when the first cold
rains and cold winds come. Protection
from these will prevent the reduction
In milk flow which they always cause.
Do not waste feed by letting your
COWS stand out In cold winds and rain.

Many Advantages.

pie, may have to employ much addi-
tional labor at harvest time, but SO far
as the dairy is concerned the dairy
man has about the same duties to per-
form every month Of the year. Thus,
less help Is required seasonally and
permanent. employees may be kept.
5. Through the dairy COW many un-
salable roughages may be transformed
into products from which cash may be
realized. Grass hay, corn fodder and
other roughage which may not have
a ready sale are economically utilized
by the dairy cow. Land which is not
suitable for cultivation can be utilized
for pasturage for dairy cows.

SOME ADVANTAGES OF DAIRY
Sale of Products Furnishes Steady In

Prepared by the United States Depart

1. The sale OF dairy products fur
pishes q steady income throughout the
year. The farmer who depends upon
crop sales for his income usually
makes the bulk Of his sales during one
or two months of the year, while dur
Ing the rest Of the year he has no cash

2. The market for dairy products
luctuates very little year by year as
compared with other farm products.
3. Through the return of manure to
the land the fertility and physical con-
dition of the soil may be maintained at
a high level and crops increased. Even
after many years a properly maintain

BELIEVED BY MANY BRITISH
Legend Connects People Of the "TIahi
Little Island" With the Lost
Tribes Of Israel.

There Is small group In England
who believe the British are the lost
ten tribes. Victoria is said to have
been interested in the idea that the
reason for her being crowned in 6
chair under which lay the Stone OF
Destiny may have stretched directly
back to the Son Of Isaac. The legend
is that before the Scottish kings were
crowned on this stone it was in Ire
land, whittier 1t was taken in the fifth
century before Christ. This was the
stone used by Jacob as pillow.
Norman Hapgood, in Leslie's Week.
", has the following to say regarding
the subject:
"The theory that the British are the
lost ten tribes has two coinciding lines,
One brings to Britain the tribes never
restored after the Captivity. 1t is the
earlier captivity that is tai en- to affect
the British population as ~ whole. The
ancestors in this case would be Israel
the northern branch Of the Jews. The
other line Of the legend deals with q
later period when the southern branch
Of the Jews were scattered. There
being no male descendants, the crown
went through the daughters. Ultimate
ly these turned up in Ireland, and Vic
toria was descended from them
through the Irish kings. At one time

for the horse fork, which works freely

Gently. If properly braced each side
forms a truss and the two trusses meet
together at the peak.
There are hay chutes at the sides
for putting down hay and bedding and
there is stairway for convenience
IN getting up and down.
To help out at feeding time there
should be a silage carrier to run from
the silo down the different alleys to
distribute the feed. If farmer wants
to know the number Of miles Travelled
about the stable 1t Is only necessary to
figure the number of trips and steps
taken each feeding time, then multiply
this by the number Of feeds during the
winter. If every dairyman would do
this the location of some silos would
be changed. The amount Of travel
will surprise those who have never
thought about 1t. This is one rea-
son for placing the silo at the side.
The manure alley in the center is
wide enough so 1t is not necessary to
have a pile Of manure outside of the
stable. Manure Is worth great deal
more when 1t Is drawn Immediately
from the stable to the field. This barn
looks we'll and it Is good practical
barn. A barn Of this type must be
used before its many conveniences and
The St. Charles herald. [volume] (Hahnville, La.) 1873-1993, 1918-12-21

buildings may be considered in a sense
as a necessary expense, but on the
other hand they should be considered
In the light of an investment.
A farm barn is the farmers factory
It Is building in which he converts
raw materials into manufactured
products. In dairy stable he takes
cheap feeds and manufactures them
Into expensive cream and butter. In
feeding stables and hogpens he manu-.
features high-priced breeding stock
as well as good beef, mutton and pork
out Of cheap grain and cheaper rough
age.
It makes a great difference in the
profits whether this barn factory Is so
constructed that the animals may be
comfortable enough to make the best
possible use of the feeds given them.
Profits are also seriously affected by
the labor problem. Barns and stables
may be so arranged as to conserve Ia
Dor or to waste labor.
In selecting a plan the farmer him
self must be the Judge of what he
needs. The kind Of farm building best
adapted to one part of the country is
not suitable for another Two farms
adjoining need different buildings, be-
cause the kind Of farming differs
with individuals. One farmer makes
great mistake by blindly copying
what another farmer uses to advan-
tage. Every building requires care
full study to fit 1t into environments
Of the farm and the peculiarities Of
the man.
In building, by all means secure the
services Of the best mechanics within
reach. Their wages are little higher,
but they seldom spoil material, and
the Job is almost always more salts
factory in the end.
Judgment is necessary in buying ma
terials; generally speaking, the best
is the cheapest, but it often happens
that good second grade answers the
purpose just as well, while effecting
considerable sa&ing In cash.
Farmers may save a great deal by
getting ready weeks, or months be-
fore building. Putting up even a
small building runs into a great deal
Of work. Often the time required
is more than twice as much as the
estimates. By having everything on
the ground confusion is avoided, as
well as the unnecessary expense Of
getting things together in a great
hurry, often at an inconvenient sea-
son.

feet long and will accommodate 90 4
cows. There Is also space for several

in 1915 according to the New York Times) has a
larger quantity been harvested and it is recalled
now that the June report then promised only o5o,-
10000, although the crop I,o25ooo,ooo. Steady
gains this year, under favorable weather conditions
may raise the yield at the final count, to the bill
hon bushels which the Government sought when it
urged farmers increase their acreage. The esti-
mate of Winter wheat has advanced from $4,000
in May to 587ooo,ooo in june and the first Off
cial forecast OF the Spring-sown crop is 344ooo,-
900. Crop experts in the West have been promis-
ing not more than 325ooo,ooo. But they did not
give due weight to a Spring acreage increase of
~. per cent. With a crop of 93I 100000 bushels

which have reduced consumption here will still be
effective to some extent and we may expect to have
less than 100000 bushels for allies and
the northern ncutrals in Europe. The rye crop will
be the largest record. and the yield OF oats will
be almost equal to last years, which had never
been surpassed
Reports from the Spring wheat States to trade
organizations months ago said that acreage
would be reduced owing lack OF labor. But it
now appears that the planted increased, as
have said, by az per cent, or from 1851 900
