Decreased Feed for Cow
Lessons Flow of Milk

Now that the pasture season has
come to close, the dairymans mind
is turned toward the feeding Of his
cows this winter.
With high-priced grains and short
age Of hay in many sections, the first
impulse is to rough them through as
well as possible without feeding what
the owner knows they really ought
to have. This practice never pays
with good cows, and if the cows are
poor ones, then it does not pay to feed
them anything. The place for the
poor ones is the butcher and the soon
er they go there, the less expense they
will be to their owners.
AS evidence of the fact that stinted
feeding to good cows does not pay, a
case is cited in one contrasting asso-
citation where the herd having the
lowest feed cost Of all the herds in
the association, $33.41, produced the
lowest average milk production, 3,O26
pounds, the lowest average butterfat
production, 1873 pounds, and the lowest
return above feed cost per COW, $16.36
per year. In the same cow-testing as
ISOLATION the herd having the highest
cost of feed per COW, 5000, yielded
the highest average production of
milk, 1902 pounds, the highest av-
erage production Of butterfat, $50
pounds, and the highest return above
feed cost per COW, S1O5. of all the
herds in the association.
Return in dollars and cents over
and above feed cost only comes with
liberal feeding of the right feeds.-H.
r. Lascelles, Fieldman, Colorado State
Dairy Commission.

However, the stalks must be kept
from severe frosts by banking them
within a few inches of the top of the
foliage. On real cold nights the
plants may be protected by covering
the tops with blankets, mats or other
available coverings.
When the celery plants are brought
in for storage, it is well to preserve
as many of the roots as possible and
to leave the dirt adhering to them.
Store by placing the celery stalks
close together on a bed of sand, and
water from below so that the roots
may be kept moist and the tops dry. A
low temperature is best.
Potatoes, as every one knows, re-
quire moist atmosphere in a storage
room where the temperature is low,
but not freezing
Unlike other vegetables, squash and
pumpkin keep best when stored in
dry room having a temperature of
about fifty degrees. When picking, it
is always well to see that they are
fully mature and to leave a short
stem.

Squashes and Pumpkins
Not Difficult to Keen

Squashes and pumpkins for feed
ing or house use are not difficult to
keep. First cut the stem two or three
inches away from the squash instead
OF pulling away Squashes keep better
than pumpkins, but both like a dry
airy room, and no place is better than
haymow. Piled here and covered with
hay they will keep far into the winter.
Squashes often keep well until spring.
II you cannot use the haymow pile
them in a granary bin if it is in the
barn and provided stock is kept under
the same roof. When covered with
straw or hay they will generally keep
safely. A few may be kept in closet
or in the basement if it is warm and
airy.

Crowding During Winter
Is Harmful to Poultry

Quite a number of farm poultry
raisers make the error of housing too
many hens and pullets together DUR
ing cold weather. Hens will lay as
well if yarded and well cared for as If
on free range. But they dare not be
crowded when they are confined.
If the hens are being fed and forced
for egg yield alone, we must get them
into winter quarters in their pens
early in the fall and keep them there
without changing them about. Intro
ducing new hens into the flock of lay
ing birds always causes more or less
confusion, and this helps in decreas.
ing the number Of eggs laid.

Best Turkey Fattener

Old corn fed partly whole and part
ly cooked, with boiled potatoes, and
thickened into a mash with meal, is
one of the best fatteners for turkeys.
Give the mash in the morning and the
whole corn at night. Do not confne
them. If new corn is given, the
tendency is to have bowel trouble For
this give boiled milk. They must be
free from lice to fatten. Turkeys will
be so high this year that each carcass
should be made to bear as much flesh
as possible.

cellar would be hard to find. The ad-
vantages Of the cellar, as outlined by
Kuehner, are that it is cool, but frost
proof, and moist without being damp.
In cellar Of this type apples can be
kept so that they will retain their
quality and flavor. The keeping quail
ties Of the fruit are dependent upon
constant temperature of between 35
and 40 degrees Fahrenheit.
Ventilation is brought about in
many Wisconsin fruit storages by open
ing the opposite cellar windows at
night so that the cool air can come in
as the warm air goes out. The cellar
is kept cool by closing the windows in
the morning. This method of ventila-
ton is practiced until it becomes too
cold for the fruit to be exposed to the
outside air.

Moisture Is Necessary.

AS necessary as temperature is in
the storage of fruit Badger orchardists
now realize that moisture plays an
almost equally important part. Shrunk-
en-, withered and wrinkled fruit is the
result of insufficient moisture. This
difficulty is sometimes overcome by
wrapping the apples in individual
waxed papers. An additional means of
maintaining the supply of moisture in
the storage cellar is to keep tubs or
buckets filled with water.
By following these suggestions fall
apples, such as the Snow and Nc
Intosh, can be kept in excellent condi-
ton until the first Of February. Win
ter apples like the York Imperial,
Northwestern Greening, Golden Rus
set, Willow Twig and Windsor Chief
can be kept until late spring.

However, frost will not injure sal

However, frost will not injure sal
sify and parsnips if they are left in
the ground. Because the quality is
improved by frost, it is well to leave
part of each crop in the garden for
spring use. According to Mr.. Moore,
the old idea that parsnips develop
poisonous properties by being left in
the ground has been disproved.
Cabbage is another good winter
vegetable to store. For cellar storage
the stems and outer leaves are re-
moved and the heads wrapped in sew
eral thicknesses of newspaper or in
heavy paper. Occasionally, it is stored
in boxes and covered with sand. When
stored by this method, it is particu-
larly desirable to keep the tempera-
ture near the freezing point to pre-
vent premature growth. 1t may also
be stored without removing the stems
and roots. If this method is used, the
roots are usually covered with soil
which is kept slightly moist.
Keep Celery Banked.
Celery is one of the last vegetables
to be brought in from the garden.
Moore advises that it be left outside
until steady cold weather sets in.

Chemical Action Caused
bv Use of Lime on Soil

Lime is form of plant food. An
alysis will show that it is found in all
plants the same as nitrogen, phos-
phoric acid and potash. 1t is not usual
ly what we may call an essential ele-
ment, since most soils contain lime
enough for plant requirements. Clover
and alfalfa contain considerable lime,
and also the wood growth in trees, and
seeds. Many soils are quite lacking in
nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash,
so that these elements must be used in
manures or fertilizers, but the common
need of lime is to bring about some
chemical action in the soil.

Business and Success

You can nearly always tell a farm
er's success and business ability by
the appearance of his house and barn.
No good business man will permit his
buildings to remain implanted and in
dilapidated condition for he knows
that he is losing money by doing so
and the man who is unconcerned
about the appearance of his premises
is apt to be careless in his farm prac-
tees.

During the process Of storing. it is
well worth the time to discard all those
vegetables which show the least signs
