DAIRY
POINTS
KEEP YOUNG HEIFER GROWING
Winter Rations for Animal Important
II Profitable Milk Producer
10 Expected.

The dairy heller, since she is for
the present unproductive, Is likely to
be neglected after the pasture senson
is ended. TO keep the young stock
growing normally during the winter
months the department Of dairy hus
bandry of the Missouri College of Ag.
riculture suggests the following ra
tions:
If silage and clover or alfalfa hay
are available. feed from two to five
pounds of corn or other farm grown
grains available. depending upon the
age of the animals. Helfers close to
calvlng time can profitably be FED
somewhat larger quantities of grain.
If silage Is available but no clover
or alfalfa hay. good ration would
consist of sllage and fodder or mixed
hay with grain mixture consisting
Of equal parts Of corn and linseed
meal. Cottonseed meal or gluten feed
may be fed in place Of linseed meal.
Where clover or alfalfa hay is fed
alone dairy heifers will do fairly well
The Holly chieftain., 1923-02-22

Is largely sand. redtop, red fescue, and,
If obtalnable. creeping bent or Rhode
Island bent should be used in equal
parts by weight. For Kentucky blue
grass the soil needs to be alkaline.
This can be assured by applying lime
or unleached wood ashes ut the rate
Of one to three tons per acre. If there
Is half stand Of grass one would use
seed at the rate of 80 pounds per acre
or one pound for every 1000 square
feet Of surface, With less grass, one
would use more seed.
It is well to seed In March and the
last Of August or first Of September.
To stimulate as vigorous a growth of
grass as possible a liberal application
Of either ground bone or one of the
prepared stock yard manures. like pre-
pared sheep manure or prepared cow
manure. should be broadcast on the
surface. From one to one and one-half
tons Of bone per acre Is required, and
Of the prepared manures an even
larger quantity. After the grass has
well started. nitrate Of soda could be
used to advantage at the rate Of 80
pounds per acre. This could be re-
peated month later, although as a
rule 1t Is not advisable to use this
material after the beginning of Sep
tember. 1t should be applied when the
ground is wet either from rain or from
watering.
Bone or stock yard manure should be
applied late each fall and nitrate Of
soda could be used as stlmulant from
June to September at intervals of
month. Reseeding is desirable each
March and August until really good
lawn Is secured. when the August seed
ing may be omitted.
Clipping the lawn should begin as
soon as the lawn mower will cut the
tops when set high. 1t should be re-
peated at intervals Of five days or
week. The clippings should be per-
mitted to remain about the roots Of
the grass.
Watering should not be oftener than
once In five days but should wet the
soil to depth Of four inches when
applied. Usually watering is too light
and TOO frequent.

SHOULD PLANT PEAS EARLY
Seed May Be Put Into Ground as Soon
az Freezing Weather
10 Over.

Peas con be planted almost as soon
as the frost is out of the ground, the
United States Department of AgrIcul-
ture says. One pint of seed will
plant 100 feet Of row. One hundred
feet Of row Will yield four to six pick
ings Of sufficient quantity to supply n
family Of five over period of about
eight or ten days. The important
point In providing continuous sup.
ply of peas is to make at least three,
and preferably four, paintings. The
first planting should be one of the ex-
tremely early sorts; the second plant
Ing, which should follow Just a few
days later. should be one OF the In
termediate sorts like Gradus, and the
third planting may be Telephone or
Il tall growing sort. about two weeks
after the first planting.

ICE WATER FOR DAIRY COWS
Animals Dislike II as Much as Hu-
man Beings In Winter, Says
Kansas Oairyman.

Although people drink large quanti-
ties of Ice water In summer, they do
not like it in cold weather. But the
only Ice water that dairy cows get
is In winter, and they like 1t then as
little as do human beings, according
to c. II. Gearhart. extension dairyman
OF the Kansas State Agricultural col
lege.
Cows producing milk require large
quantities of water They will d.
mlnish their milk flow rather than
drink cold water so often furnished
them.
Water which Is stored in tanks In
winter should be warmed with a tank
heater says Mr.. Gearhart. These are
made TO burn coal, wood. or corncobs.
When only one or two cows are to be
Watered. a teakettle of boiling water
Will take the chill off of the half bar
rel Of water necessary for them.

POSlES AND SHRUBS
FOR HOME GROUNDS
Rich Blossoms and coIorfuI
Foliage Add to the Appear
ance of Yard.

Man shall not live by bread alone"
even with the addition Of few
vegetables. In planning home gar
den some space should be devoted to
shrubbery and few flowers to de-
light the eye and add to the beauty
of the home surroundings, the United
States Department of Agriculture ad-
vises. Although many flowers are
suitable for planting close to the
house, 1t may be more desirable to
place permanent shrubbery against
the foundations Of the house and give
the annual Towering plants place
In the garden proper or as border.
A bed Of flowers may well be used to
separate the lawn from a ne!ghboring
property or from the vegetable garden.
Old-fashioned zinnias, petunias.
bachelors buttons, cockscomb, scarlet
sage, cosmos, are among the most
easily cultivated flowers which serve
to brighten up the exterior of the
home. Where space is available, one
may choose plants that will furnish
cut flowers for the house as well as
beautify the surroundings. Dahlias,
asters, peonies, roses and gladioli are
among the many excellent Towering
plants for this purpose.
Dahlias are propagated in two
ways, by the tubers, which look some
thing like small sweet potatoes, and
by cuttings. By the tuber method Of
propagation single root or tuber is
placed in each hill and allowed to
develop a cluster of stems. These
tubers may be placed in pots or boxes
in the house to form roots and make
start before they are set in the
open ground, but as dahlias are pri-
marily late summer and fall flower.

Suns In the BornIno.
TNs esaTAva eonsAav. sEw yeax eiTv.

The Harvard scientists working 81
the astronomical observatory in Peru
say that they have discovered and pho
tographed 1000 new suns which are
just being launched into existence and
which will some day In all probability
be full-grown suns like our own, each
with its own solar system. The nebu-
lac are In the shape of whirling spirals
of what looks like luminous vapor.
1t is supposed that they condense in
the course Of ages into suns and throw
off pieces that condense more rapidly
than the main body did, being smaller,
and so become planets. Nearly %
years ago Professor Holden of the
Lick observatory estimated there were
at least a half million uncharted nebu-
lac to be discovered, so that those
which have been discovered are only
a small part of this number.

GRADING OF CREAM IS URGED
surest Means Of Producing Good But
ter, Says Dairy Specialist at
University Farm.

Pointing out that cream grading IL
the surcst means of producing good
butter, A. J. Mcclure, dairy specialist
with the university agricultural exten-
sion service, adds that Eastern mar
kets are scoring butter closer than
ever before. "Thcre Is real competI-
tion,' he says, for the best markets,
and II cooperative creameries are to
hold such markets they must make
good butter and see that II Is sold as
such. A cream-cooling tank on every
farm makes cream grading ensier, both
for creamery men and for patrons. Are
you urging cream cooling and cleanll-
ness of cream separators? This should
precede cream grading"

TO HAVE FINE ROSE BLOOMS
Cut Away All Surplus Wood When
Trimming the Bush Early
In the Spring.

In the spring, dormant roses which
were set in the fall should be cut
back, leaving only two or three stems
with four or five eyes on each. This
will leave them inches or less in
length. When dormant roses are
planted in the spring they should be
pruned at the time of planting, leav-
ing four or five on IL stem.
After the first year, the pruning
should be done us soon as freezing
weather is over. says the United
States Department OF Agriculture. In
regions where roses never suffer from
cold Y may be done in the fall. All
weak wood and crossing branches
should be removed every year. For
greatest mass Of bloom only one-thIrd
to one-half Of the shoots should be
cut away.

ing plant, there is no particular need
Of getting them started early and the
bulbs can be planted right where the
plants are to stand. The ether meth
cd Of propagatlng. by cuttings, is
practiced by florists. By this method
the tubers are planted during Janu-
ary in the greenhouse and as the
young shoots form about three leaves
they are cut off, the leaves trimmed
slightly. and the cutting rooted in n
warm bed of sand. After the roots
are formed the cuttings are potted in
rich soil and grown to good sized
plants in five or slx-inch pots. The
tuber method Of propagation is the
only practical one for the average
person.

The growing Of cabbages in quanti- ty from seed m'atured at a neighbor- ing experiment station is reported to the United States Department of -Agri- culture by the Federal agricultural experiment station at Fairbanks. Al aska. Both stations are within two degrees of the Arctic Circle.
 Seeds of other vegetables and crops have been successfully produced in the interior of the Territory. Turnip seed, especially of the variety Pe- trowski, is grown in large quantity each year. Garden peas of the va lriety Alaska lave been reproduced for a number of years, and through seed selection at least two weeks duction. Parsley. carrots, parsnips, rad ishes and mlany varieties of an nnal flowers seed abundantly in the interior. Smooth ibrome grass seeds abundantly and one ounce of hardy alfalfa seed. Medicago falcata, SC. cured from the South Dakota Experi. menIt Stati ion in 1911. has been repro duced until there are now more than a dozen acres of this crop at the Fairbanks station and considerable planltings elsewhere. A selection made from sample of a few ounces of spring wheat received from Si- beria in 1914 has proved so well adapted to the Fairbanks area that about 175 acres were sown to this one strain in 1922. 8

WOMEN SPEEDERS

RENO, New, April 30.-Chief of Police John NJ. Kirkley says the ladies are vamping his officers and hence the fact that fewer women than men are taken into custody here.
 'It is true" he declared in re- cent interview, that more men than women were arrested last year for careless automobile driving, but il hadn't ought to be that way. It is all because the police don't know how to handle the ladies.
 "R a man gets stubborn We can handle him, but if a lady refuses to be arrested, what are we going to do?' f
 Chief Kirkley asserts that Reno women don't make as good automo- bile drivers as men. They're care less and irresponsible and they never know the traffic rules" he said.
