Occasionally farmer is found who
sprinkles land plaster on the manure
at intervals, the amount ranging from
one to two tons year, applied at the

When Manure Is Applied.
The manure is hauled to the fields
twice year on the majority of
farms. Many farmers apply it DUR
ing the winter when the ground is
frozen and hauling is easier and when
there is more time for this work, but
this should not be done on hillside

in the early spring at the rate Of
eight to ten tons an acre, and Is i'm
mediately plOwed and rolled. In the
fall manure is applied to oats and
corn stubble land. The barnyard Is
SO arranged that the team and
spreader can be driven into any part
of it, including the covered portion,
where loading can be done directly.
The bulletin describes in detail the
crop rotation plan and methods of
manure on ten Chester coun-
ty farms, on each of which the yield
of corn is maintained at rs bushels
or more an acre, and where high
yields are being made at no sacrifice
of profit. These farms offer good ex-
amples of the way in which manure
should be handled and utilized to Sc
cure the greatest possible returns.

prepared by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture.)
If dairy cows are to be fed for
profitable production they must
receive a liberal ration at all
seasons. In summer, pasture
generally is depended upon, but
often it must be supplemented
by soiling crops or silage, and
sometimes by concentrates as
well. For winter feeding, the
ration usually is composed Of
hay, silage. and mixture Of
grains. In properly balancing
the ration the grain mixture is
compounded to fit the roughage
with due consideration for cost,
bulk, palatability, and physiolog-
ical effect upon the cow. For
best results, cows must be fed
individually, sailed regularly,
and furnished with all the clean
water they will drink.

Why France Needs Beef.

Since the outbreak of the war
France suffered loss of 2,GOOO 200
head of cattle. Moreover, the cattle
greatly lost in weight. Before the
war the average weight in meat of
slaughtered cattle was from TO to
$50 pounds, whereas today it hardly
exceeds 800 or $40 pounds. That is
why France needs the American beef
so much today.

Out OF this wide variety OF choices
