PLAN FOR BUILDING UP SOIL
Acid Phosphate, Limestone, Tile and
Manure Form Basis for lncreas-
ing Fertility.

The Ohio experiment station has
worked out during a series of years
plan for soil building which farmers
in any state might study. AS a basis
of comparison, it is shown that certain
fertility standards may be adopted.
On a 160-acre farm fertility standards
as compared with results secured in
experimental work at the ohio station
show that 16 tons of acid phosphate
per year, a carload of limestone, a mile
of tile and the production of 400 loads
of manure annually would form prof
liable basis for increasing soil fer.
tflity.
This would also call for the grow
ing of about 40 acres of clover, as the
use of legumes in connection with
manure, phosphorus and limestone on
drained land, produces the best re
suits. Such plan of fertility recon.
struction is regarded as necessary be.
cause the greater part of the soil in
Ohio has been farmed for at least fifty
years and these fertility elements must
be supplied in reasonable quantities
now, or later in very much larger
amounts, at an increased cost.

DAIRY NOTES

Keep the dairy cow out of all drafts
of stable windows.
The milk COW on the general farm
ought to be money-maker.
A satisfied COW is probably salts
factory cow.
A summer silo for the dalryman
will pay even better than a winter
silo.
The average dairy COW makes dairy
ing improbable; it's the better-than-
the-average COW that pays.
A good COW is worth more than most
people believe. A dairy COW that yields
an abundance of milk is indeed valu-
able animal.
To be healthy and good tempered
dairy bull must have plenty of exer
else.
Groom the COW twice daily, before
milking. Use q pail with small top.
Use clean bedding only.
The longer a calf is allowed to suck
the cow the harder it will be to make
it drink from a bucket.
The old question of machine versus
hand milking is one that still remains
problem on the dairy farm.

Some of the many arguments in ia

1t will not bite, balk or run away.
1t will not shy at loose scrap Of pa

stall at night and keep the tired farm
er and his wife awake. 1t will not
crib the manger.
1t will not break out of the barn at
night, jump the fence and eat your
neighbours cabbages.
1t will not lie down in particularly
moist spot in the barnyard, roll over
on its back and elevate its four feet
into the air.
1t does not have to be curried,
sponged off or treated with horse lini-
ment.
1t is not addicted to collie, cough,
heaves, SPAWN or wind-gall.
1t will not snort in your ear or whisk
its tail in your face.
It will not "haw" when you tell 1t
to "gee" or vice-versa.
You do not have to pull on the lines
and holler your head off when you
want it to stop.
1t does not ''up and die" just as the
spring work is coming on.

LOVE FOR GOOD LIVE STOCK
Boys and Girls Clubs Teach Members
That Cattle Raising Is Most
Profitable.

The two most valuable assets for
the amateur stockman to possess in
order to become a successful live stock
breeder are: First, an interest and
incentive for raising good stock, and
second, practical experience supple
mented with a thorough technical
knowledge of selecting, feeding, judg-
ing, and breeding, according to ]. 7.
Tingle, of the Colorado Agricultural
College, who says: Most of our
greatest like stock breeders of today
entered their profession on account of
their love for good stock and their
practical experience enabled them to
make success of the business.
Both theoretical training and prac-
teal experience are necessary for the
best success. Especially is this true
at present-a time when feed, labor,
and stock are high. There has never
been time when the live stock indus
try demanded a more thorough knowl-
edge Of proper feeding, breeding, han
ding, and selecting than at present.
"The objects sought through the
boys and girls clubs include the above
essentials for success, and in addition
they endeavor to teach the members

FEED FOR MILK PRODUCTION
Many Old Cows Will Increase Capacity
if Fed on Properly Balanced
Ration.

There are a large number of old
cows that will increase their capacity
for milk-giving if fed on a properly
balanced ration and with a large
amount of succulent food the year
round. This is what develops the ca
pacity of the COW. A great many
cows are never fed with the idea of
getting out of them the greatest
amount of milk possible each year,
with due regard to the health Of the
cows. If, however, the old cows were
fed with this idea in mind, they would
continue to give large mess Of rich
milk.

rearing of brood at appropriate times
These factors must not be lacking at
the right times, and if any one is omit
ted it may prevent the bees from gath
ering the crop of the following season.
These three factors do not apply equal
ly throughout the period of relative
inactivity but as certainly as anyone
of them is decreased, just so certainly
will next years crop be reduced.
In practicing cellar wintering it is
unnecessary to leave so much honey
with the bees during the time that they
are in the cellar, and it is not neces-
sary during that period to leave room
for the rearing of brood. During the
coolest part of the winter the bees
need especially protection from cold
and wind, although enough good stores
must be in the hive to keep them
through that period in good condition.
Probably large part of the failure
of beekeepers in practicing cellar win
tering comes from the fact that be-
fore and after the bees are in the eel
lar the important factors of stores and
breeding room have not been adequate
ly supplied. Before the bees are put
into the cellar they must have room
and after they are taken out these two
factors must be present in greatly in
creased abundance.
Necessity of Strong Colonies.
As in the case of wintering outdoors,
1t is wasteful to attempt to winter
weak colonies 1t is difficult to set
standards of colony strength at this
season. but it Is unwise to attempt
to winter colonies that are not strong
enough to have brood sufficient to fill
three or four Langstroth frames two
months before the first killing frost.
If the colonies in the apiary are not of
the proper strength, it is wise to unite
until the proper strength is reached.
1t is of the greatest Importance that
every colony have a good queen in or
der that brood rearing may continue
In the fall and may then again proceed
rapidly in the spring. Usually it is
best to requiem at least every two
years, but if good wintering is prac-
ticed the colonies will come out of Win
ter quarters so strong and will build
up so rapidly in the spring that the
queens will soon wear out, making it
safer to requiem every year. To get
the best results from requeening, all
Young queens should be introduced so
that they begin to lay about two
months before the first killing frost.

Take good care of the cows. The

cows giving milk. They will need

DOESN'T STIMULATE GROWTH
Admonition Frequently Heard From
Authorities Is Not to Feed Pigs
Too Much Corn.

Do not feed pigs too much corn
while they are young. This is an adj
nonition we frequently hear from au-
thorities on pig raising. Here is the
reason why: Corn is a fat-producing
feed and does not stimulate growth.
What is needed is a protein feed; that
is. one which ranks high in protein.
Protein makes muscle and stimulates
growth. Tankage will do very well,
but otter It is impossible to secure it.

What the Railroads Collect.

In 1916, year of normal conditions,
each person in the United States paid
annually for the average family.
Therefore each increase of 20 per cent
in freight rates above the 1916 level
means an increased per capita tax of
S6.25, or an increased tax for each
American family of S31.25. Freight
rates have increased more than 80 per
cent since 1916, therefore the freight
bill for the average family is now
around $780, all of which is paid in
directly. of course. These figures are
worth studying before we again dip
into our pockets to help railroad
finances.
