Helping Out Short Pastures

Stock raisers, especially in the Southwest, often, at this season of the year, face much inconvenience and probable loss of cattle through the shortage of pastures. In other sections, where smaller herds and areas are involved, the summer pasture situation can be met in various ways, say specialists of the United States Department of Agri- culture. Among the ways are the sowing of catch crops for summer forage or temporary pastures. But, with ranges running into thousands there is only one remedy and that is to put into practice a system of de- ferred and rotation grazing.
 Such a system will necessitate the division of the range into separate pastures, keeping the cattle off of one pasture each year until the seed of the native grasses are mature, at which time cattle may be turned in to graze. In this manner the growth of grass is utilized and the grass seeds are trampled into the soil, which is necessary to germination. By systematic rotation each pasture may be allowed to reseed once in each three to five years as desired.
 Whre ranges are heavily stocked in the bginning of such system, it may be necessary to transfer a part of the herd to other range, but the ultimate resul will be an increase in tn carrying capacity of the range, as has been shown in various expert ences in the Southwest. Overstock- ing should be avoided in every in stance.

To Draw or Not to Draw

Poultrymen still discuss the rela- tive merits of drawn and undrawn poultry. Practice varies in different communities. Opening the body un- doubtedly exposes the internal sur face to the air which always contains microorganisms, and thus may has ten decomposition; but it should be remembered also that the viscera de- compose more rapidly than other parts of the body, and if left they may taint or infect the rest of the bird.
 In elaborate experiments with drawn, partly drawn, and undrawn poultry, conducted by the United States Department of Agriculture, it was found that undrawn birds spoil least quickly, and partly drawn ones less quickly than the fully drawn ones from which, not only the wis cera, but also the heads and feet, have been removed.

tatoes, carrots, and lima beans, may be separately dried and stored to be combined for use according to taste. Dried parsley and celery tops are valuable additions to the seasoning shelf. Currants, gooseberries, and strawberries are better canned than dried; but a variety of other fruits, including blackberries, black and red raspberries, plums, prunes, figs, apples, apricots, and peaches may all be dried at home. Dried peas, young beans, caulifower, okra, and spinach are considered by specialists of the United States Department of Agri- culture to be less satisfactory in flavor than other dried vegetables.
 The oven of the cookstove may be used. The products to be dried A..c1ld be spread thinly in baking pacs or pie tins and these should be placed upon racks so that they are not in direct contact with the oven wall. The door of the oven should be left open so that the water vapor driven off may pass out, and the fire should be so regulated that the ma terial may not be scorched.
 Trays suspended above a cook stove may also be employed. Each tray is made of a rectangular piece of rather heavy galvanized-wire net ting having four or five meshes to the inch. The finished trays should have approximately the same dimen- sions as the stove top. The edges are turned up so as to form sides for the tray. Four pieces of wood 1 by 2 inches in thickness form a frame for the drier which may be suspended by wires from the ceiling, or it may stand directly upon the top of the stove, if the slats making up the frame are allowed to extend inches below the bottom of the lower tray and a good-sized nail is driven half it's length into the end of each slat to form noninfammable feet upon which the drier may rest.
 Directions for making and using various types of home differs are gwen in Farmers Bulletin 984, Farm and Home Drying of Fruits and Vegetables"

Feeding Pregnant Cows

Poorly nourished cows give birth to weak, puny calves which are hard to raise. The feeding of the "a'f, therefore, begins before it is born. The food elements necessary for the development of the calf are taken into the stomach of the COW, digest ed, assimilated, and transmitted to he calf through the umbilical cord, the connection between the mother and the calf. It is evident that if the COW does not receive food enough to keep herself i6 thrifty condition and at the same time develop her calf, say specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture, both she and the calf must suffer.
 In endeavoring to raise good, thrifty calves many dairymen handi- cap themselves at the start by not feeding the pregnant COWS. Such COWS should have an abundance of palatable and succulent or juicy feed in order to insure good body flesh and healthy, thrifty condition at calving time. The calves will then be we'll developed, strong, and sturdy and ready to respond normally to feed and care.

sorption of surrounding odors.
 When closed the storage room itself has some odor, as have also the cases and excelsior, but the strawboard filters and flats have an odor more nearly resembling that found in storage eggs. The filters and flats become slightly damp in storage, due to the absorption of moisture evaporating from the eggs and the air of the room, and acquire a stronger odor than when dry. Ex- periments show that when eggs are protected from air by immersion in preserving fluid, and held in cold storage, the typical 'cold-storage taste does not develop. This proves almost conclusively that the objec- ionable taste is flavor absorbed by the eggs"
 Dirty and cracked eggs, the poul- try specialists say, absorb this flavor more quickly and to a greater ex- tent than do eggs with clean shells. Although summer eggs usually do not keep so we'll in storage as spring eggs, they are preferable in winter from the point of view of flavor, because they have not been held in storage so long as the spring eggs. A Storage taste" usually can be found in April stock in November; in May eggs in December; in June eggs in January, and in July eggs in February.

ment of Agriculture prefer wire nails as they are easier to use than cut nails, although the latter kind hve greater binding power. Use 10 to god nails for framing; 8 to 10-d for sheathing; ed finish or casing nails for clap-boarding, and Sd for siding. Four penny nails are F
 inches long, Cd are inches, and 8-d nails are 214 inches. It takes about 4 pounds of 3-d nails to 1000 shingles; 18 pounds of Cd for 1000 square feet, board measure of bevel- ed siding; 20 pounds of 8-d, and 25 pounds of 1O-d for 1000 square feet of sheathing; 30 pounds of 8-d for 1000 square feet of flooring, and 15 pounds of 1O-d, or 25 pounds of god for 1000 feet of studding.

but it has never secured very strong foothold in the United States. In this country the goat has always been an animal of more or less ridi- cule, as the majority of the people do not realize the possibilities of certain breeds or types that have been bred for many years along de- finite lines, say specialists of the United States Department of Agri- culture.
 In Continental Europe milk goats are largely used by families unable to keep a COW, and great benefit is derived from having fresh milk at hand and at low cost, Tn those countries the goat is often spoken of as the ''poor mans cow"
 During the past several years con- siderable interest has been manifest ed in the milk-goat industry in this country. The fact that the goat will supply sufficient milk for the average family and can be kept where it would be impossible to keep a COW is beginning to appeal to many people, especially those living in the small towns and the suburbs of the large cities.
 The milk-goat industry is only in its infancy in America, the depart ment specialists say. This type of goat is adapted to our country, and the industry should become of great CT importance every year.

Two Quarts a Day is Good
 production for Milk Goats


 About the first question that most people ask concerning milk goats IS, "How much milk will they produce?" This is, of course, a very important consideration, as the value of doe is estimated largely by her milk pro- duction. Even if a doe is purebred, she is of little value from the utility standpoint unless she is capable of giving a good quantity of milk. Many persons in purchasing purebred or even-grade goats have been disap- pointed to find that the milk could be measured in pints and not quarts or gallons as expected.
 A doe that produces 3 pints day is considered only fair mixer, while the production of 2 quarts is good, and the production of quarts is considered excellent, provided the lactation is maintained for from 7 to 10 months, say specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture. There is probably no better way to treat this matter than to state that good does should pr0- duce from to 15 times their weight in milk in lactation period. It is stated by German writers that many goats yield 10 times their body weight of milk annually, and excep- tional animals as much as IS times their weight.
 Goats milk can be utilized for the same purposes as cows milk al though for some it is not nearly so we'll suited. For general, use, such as for drinking, cooking, and in tea and coffee, the milk has proved very satisfactory. The milk cf one of the largest herds in the country is eva porated and sold in that form. Goats milk is less satisfactory than cows milk for making butter, but large quantities of goats milk cneese are manufactured, especially in Europe. Practically all publications dealing with milk goats attribute consider able importance to the use of the milk for infants and invalids.

Town Man May Keep Pigeons

The one kind of poultry of ques- tionable economic status on the farms is the pigeon, the specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture say in Secretary's Cir cular 107. Almost exclusively a grain eater, the pigeon renders nc notable service as a conserver of waste, unless it is shattered grain in the fields, and that in large measure would be taken up by other poultry and by pigs. The pigeon has a place in the scheme of urban poultry pro- duction, but, except In isolated instances where condition; are pe- culiarly favorable, it's production on farms may not be desirable.

Make Plans Early to
 Secure Harvest Help

Getting help for the harvest rush is a problem which is best faced weeks in advance. Grain, truck, and orchard harvest seasons bring to many sections large numbers of travelling help who start with a crop
 in the South and work north with the season to the Canadian border. These workers are usually efficient through long experience, but they are likely to feel the urge of the road and leave before the farmer gets his crop all harvested, obliging him to pay a much higher rate to secure the remainder of the crop be- fore it spells Wherever efficient local help can be obtained, it Is to be preferred to the rovers.

Estima ting the Waste When
 Buying Building Lumbe

Don't forget to estimate the waste in buying your lumber for building a poultry house, barn, or other struc- ture. In figuring on common sheath ing add one-tenth for waste, and one-fourth for matched flooring and all kinds of siding. By careful cut ting you can save much of the waste l; and there are many places in build ing where the short pieces can be used.
 Don't buy too many nails. If you do they are almost certain to be scattered around the place, especially if there are children. Some spec ialists in the United States Depart

Dipping Egg Prevents
 "Cold-Storape Taste

Probably the best founded reason for prejudice against cold-storagc eggs has to do with flavor. Every one recognizes the "cold storage taste" This taste", say the spec ialists in the Bureau of Chemistry, United States Department of Agri- culture, develops in eggs that have been in storage for several months, and is especially noticeable syhen they are soft-boiled or poached. The flavor is not so marked in the white as in the yolk which contains a .arge percentage of fat It is known that fats have an affinity for odors and flavors. The facts indicate that the
 cold storage taste is due to the ab

HALT REEVEST0N ROAD
WORK FOR THIS YEAR
AT SOUTH 18TH STREET

Routine business occupied the morn
ing session of the board Of works
Thursday. The Reeveston road inn
provement was taken up, and the
board decided to amend the original
motion for the improvement, so that
the work would be put in only from
South Eighteenth to South Nineteenth
street this year. This action was
taken because the condition of the
city finances did not warrant making
the entire improvement from South
Eighteenth to South Twenty-third
street.
A letter from Roland Nusbaum, rela-
tive to traffic congestion in the alley
back of the Nusbaum store, was re-
ferred to the police department.
Permission to cut the curb for drive
ways was granted property owners on
North Twenty-third street and South
West Eighth street.
d. c. Mitchell, representing the
Electrical Specially and Supply COM
pany of Chicago, presented arguments
for the safety traffic guide made by
that concern. The board has three
guides under consideration at the
present time. No contract has been
let to supply the entire city.
