BASIS FOR DAIRY INDUSTRY
Don't Wait In Meadows for Cow to
Back Up to Be MiIked-Waste
Converted Into Milk.

Don't sit down In the meadow and
wait for the COW to back up to be
mllked-go after the cow" The basis
for the whole dairy industry Is the
COW, and II farmers are going to uti-
lie to the best advantage the guam
titles Of roughage that annually are
wasted on every farm they must go
after the COW.
There Is no way to convert the
corn, the hay, the clover. the straw,
and the abundance of other forage
into a marketable form so quickly
and so economically as by feeding to
the dairy COW. She works day and
night summer and winter, week days
and Sundays, In flood and drought, to
convert the unmarketable waste Of the
farm into a finished and valuable
product of human food.
The first thing is to get the cows.
Profits are then assured.

SYRACUSE SELECTED
FOR BIG DAIRY SHOW
Farm Bureau Federation and
Other Farm Organizations
Are Given Much Credit.

Syracuse, N. Y, has been selected
for the National Dairy show this
year. 1t has been announced by w. n.
Skinner, secretary Of the show. The
show Will be staged at the New York
State Fair Grounds the week Of Oc-
tober 8. coincident with the Worlds
Dairy Congress.
The board OF directors and executive
committee of the National Dairy as
ISOLATION which was entrusted with
the selection of the site for the big
exposition chose Syracuse after the
qualifications of several eastern cities
had been carefully considered.
Enos r. Lee. president Of the New
York State Farm Bureau federation.
In expressing qualification that New
York State had secured the show,
pointed out that syracuse was award
ed the honor In competition with sew
eral larger cities chiefly because Of
the active interest Of the Farm Bureau
federation and other farm organiza-
lions Of the state, the State College
Of Agriculture, and the State Fair
commission.
The exposition, which is arranged
under the auspices Of the United
States government. will be one Of the
biggest agricultural events of the
year. Every dairy nation has been
asked to send representatives and ex-
hibits. The invitations sent out By
President Harding several months ago
have been accepted by Canada, Eng
land, Denmark, Italy, France. Belgium
and. other nations.

GOOD TREATMENT OF

Alfalfa and Clover Insist on
Plenty Of Lime IN Soil.
Type Of Material 70 uss 10 the One
That Gives the Most Calcium Car
Donate Or Its Equivalent Of
Proper Finsness.

Legumes. since they are such a val
liable part of agriculture. have a right
to demand, as they do. that conditions
for their growth shall be as they want
them. That alfalfa and red clover, for
example, insist on fair supply Of
lime In the soil, Is pointed out by the
New York state agricultural college
at Ithaca.
II the soil contains limestone, Is neu-
tral, or even slightly acid, no lime need
be added. but II the soil is very sour,
lime should be put on before seeding
red clover. Where clover fails fire.
quently or does not thrive and pro-
duce good crop. lime Is usually nee
essary. and should be applied every
time clover Is seeded at the rate Of
one ton or more per acre In the form
OF limestone, or Its equivalent In other
forms.
Three forms Of lime are In general
use: Limestone, "hydrated" lime, and
burned or quicklime, together with
smaller quantities of mari and oyster
shells.
The form Of lime to use Is the one
that gives most calcium carbonate or

paid out for lime. freight and labor
of hauling and spreading.
For red clover IL Is usually not nee
essary to neutralize the acidity fully.
Alsike stands more acidity, while vetch
and white clover. peas and field beans,
are still more resistant to soil acidity.
Soy beans respond to conditions IA
vorable to red clover. Alfalfa and
sweet clover need more lime than does
red clover, and 1t is desirable to know
something of the lir1e content of the
subsoil down to 20 to 30 inches below
the surface.

HORSES CARRY HEAVY COATS
Animals Sweat ProfuseIy and Hair
Will Not Dry out-sheitsr
From Cold Rains.

Many horses will carry heavy coat
of hair this spring. Such horses will
sweat profusely and the hair will not
dry out readily. 1t will be almost
impossible to clean them properly
when they are working. They will tire
easily and II not clipped will lose q
lot of flesh In the first few days after
being put to work. Horses that have
been blanketed and well groomed and
those that have been worked steadily
will not have such long coat of hair.
Idle farm horses are seldom groomed
and there occurs natural greasiness
that aids in keeping the animal warm.
This also increases the difficulty Of
keeping the animal clean.
Clipping can be done any time dur
ing the spring of the year. but pref
erably Just few days before the
spring work begins. Even though
there may occur a few cold days or q
few storms, the horses will suffer no
inconvenience as they become accus-
toned to the change due to the clip
ping In just few hours. However.
II a blanket Is available, II can be
used and the horse should be sheltered
from cold rains. The clipping should
take in the entire body and where
any clipping is cone this Is to be
recommended. 1t is not advisable to
clip trace high. taking In the belly.
Horses as a rule do not shed early
enough In the spring to enable them
to work with any comfort.

COB MEAL INFERIOR TO CORN
Cattle With Large Digestive Systems
Seem to Appreciate Ground
Cobs.

Hogs are not nearly so well adapted
to handling the cobs which are con-
tanned In corn and cob meal as are
cattle. Cattle with their large dlgas-
tive systems oftentimes seem to ap-
preciate the ground cobs In corn, and
cob meal. Any addition Of crude
fiber to the fattening Of hog ration,
however, seems to be positive handi-
cap. Experiments at the Iowa sta
ton Indicate that corn and cob meal
Is inferior both to shelled corn and
to ear corn for fattening hogs.

shown that shippers would do well to
make careful examination Of cars be-
fore loading them. The railroads main
tain satisfactory car-inspection service

a consequence many cars have defects

It IL up to him to see that the right

Neither Geese nor Duck Hens Like to

Use of Incubator.

Neither geese nor duck hens make
very good mothers, and sometimes
ducks refuse to make nests or to sit
at all. For this reason 1t Is well to
have an Enclosure for ducks, and to
keep them confined each morning until
after the eggs are laid. The eggs
should be incubated with a chicken
hen or In incubators. The chicken
hens will give them much better care
than their natural mothers would.

Dirty milk is most often caused by

cows are kept indoors most of the
time, more attention should be given

See Mountains Rise

How would you feel If you were

toned off the coast Of Alaska.

quiet, and there was nothing in
sight but the endless range Of
water kissed by the bright blue
sky, until suddenly there was Sc
ries of rumblings, and from the
ocean appeared the crater of a vol
cano, with its concomitant dense
smoke. The heavens grew dark.
and it appeared that the long
prophesied end Of the world had
come at last.
That was splendid opportunity
