PUTTING ALFALFA INTO SIL0
Good Results Have Been Obtained
Where Rain lnterferes With
Making Hay.

In sections where rain interferes
with alfalfa hay making, good results
have been obtained by putting the al
falfa in the silo. The most favorable
reports state that the alfalfa should
be In full bloom or fairly well ma
tured before cutting for silage. 1t
should be cut when the dew is on or
wet from rain and hurried to the silo.
Cut in short lengths, the finer the
better, as it packs more firmly and
keeps with less waste. When put into
the silo before it becomes sufficiently
mature, alfalfa makes very sour sill
age and has a disagreeable odor. First
crop alfalfa is preferred by most of
the men who have tried alfalfa silage.

FEEDS cow SHOULD RECEIVE
Usually One Pound of Grain for Ev-
cry Three Pounds Of Milk Will
Be Satisfactory.

The amount Of concentrated feeds,
as grains. that COW should receive
will depend largely on the quantity
and quality of milk she is producing.
Usually one pound of grain for every
three pounds of milk will suffice,
though this ratio should be increased
TO one pound of grain for every two
and one-half pounds of milk where
the COW is yielding either large flow
Of milk low in per cent of butterfat
or a moderate quantity of milk rich
in butterfat. Over-ripe hay and dry
corn slower are so hard and dry that
their net value to the COW is only
one-half or even less of the apparent
value as indicated by a table Of d.
gestible nutrients they contain. This
is due to the energy that is required
to masticate and digest the feed.

M0DIFfeATTtE
RULES oAi'IRy
That Shippers May Understand
Restrictions Regulation Has
Been Clarified.
TEST EMIGRANT SHIPMENTS
Registration Of Temperatures piscon.
tinued at Eighteenth Hour After
Injection of Tubercuin-HeIf-
ers on Same Basis.


Notifications in the restrictions on
interstate shipment of cattle imposed
for the prevention of the spread of
cattle tuberculosis are announced by
the bureau of animal industry of the
United States department of agricul-
ture. In order that live stock shippers
may more readily understand the re-
strictions. the entire regulation has
been redrafted and the language clari-
fed.
One Of the notifications is for the
aid of emigrants who live In sparsely
settled sections of the country where
1t would be very expensive to have
their cattle tested before moving them
to another state. Such shipments usu-
ally do not pass through public stock
yards, and veterinarians are not al
ways available in such sections. The
new regulation, therefore, permits emf
grant shipments to be tested en- route
or at the destination. Permission to
do so, however, must first be received
from the bureau inspector in charge
of tuberculosis eradication work in the
state of destination, or from the proper
state official.
Data gathered from the various
state and bureau field workers, it is
said, clearly indicate that the tuber-
culoSis test can be shortened two
hours without interfering with Its eff
cheney. A modification, therefore, was
made permitting the registering of
temperatures to be discontinued at the
eighteenth hour after the injection of
tuberculin instead of the twentieth
hour.

AVERAGE VALUE OF HEIFERS
Those Sired by Purebred Bull Worth
Considerably More Than Those
by Inferior Sires.

The heifers sired by purebred
dairy bull are worth considerably
more than those sired by grade or
scrub bull. Some definite figures on
this subject have been obtained by
the University of Illinois in dairy
survey made on SIT farms in 1912.
1t was found that the average cash
value of all the heifers sired by a
purebred bull was SAL, while those
sired by a grade bull was $50, and
those sired by scrub bull only $50.
On the other hand. the average value
Of the purebred bulls used was $50
and the average value of the scrub
and grade bulls was $43.
The Increased value of only four
heifers sired by purebred bull paid
the difference in value of a scrub bull
and a purebred bull.-E. NJ. Clark,
