Feed Literally to Get
Profitable Flow of Milk

Liberal feeding must be practiced
If profit is expected from dairy cows
says r. w. Clark of the Colorado Ag-
ricultural college. "A large portion
600 to IS per cent? of the food given
a COW is required for maintenance, the
remainder being required for the
manufacture of milk. With scant
feeding, the whole amount given may
be used for maintenance, leaving moth
ing for milk production.
"In feeding for large returns, va
riety of foods gives better results
than single diet. Such ration is
better digested, relished longer, and is
more likely to meet all the require
ments of the body. Large consump-
ton of food is important and this will
be accomplished with a mixed diet. If
certain needs Of the body are not sup
piled, the animals will develop. a de-
PRAYED appetite, leading them to eat
bones. leather, paper and similar mate
rails to satisfy the craving which
arises because the ration is lacking in
some particular nutrient"

Have Vegetables in
Winter by Storing
Possible to Keep All Roots
in Fresh Condition.

Few people realize the number of
vegetables that may be kept in the
fresh state for winter use.
The essential conditions for the
storage of all root crops including
such vegetables as potatoes, beets, car
rots, horse radish, parsnip, winter
radish rutabaga, satisfy, turnip, kohl
rabbi and also cabbage, are that they
be kept cool and moist, away from air
currents. Storing should be done as
late as possible, avoiding freezing.
These conditions may be met in sew
eral ways The simplest for home use
where only few of each are to be
stored, is to place them in box of
moist sand or soil in layers and leave
in cool part Of the cellar.
Where larger quantities are to be
kept, they may be put in what is
known as an out-of-door pit. Only
whole specimens free from disease
should be used. The method is as
follows: The vegetables are placed in
a conical pile on the surface of the
ground in well drained location. A
covering of six to eight inches of
straw or litter Is then placed over
them, and a covering of as much soil,
commencing at the bottom and work
ing toward the top. In severe eli
mates later covering Of manure may
be necessary as soon as the soil
freezes. In this way, vegetables may
be kept In perfect condition until well
along in the spring.. ]. Gardner,

Collins, Colorado.

Various Crops Injured
by Tiny White Maggots

Carrots parsnips and celery are in
jured by tiny white maggots that bore

Of carrots completely honeycomb them
with their burrows. Unfortunately we
know very little about this pest, be-
cause it is European insect that has
lately come into this country. writes
Glenn W. Herrick in the Rural New
Yorker. In England a quart of kero-
sene thoroughly mixed with bushel
of wood ashes and distributed along
both sides Of each row of carrots has
given fairly good protection. it is said.
After the ashes have lain two days

this remedy is always practicable in
gardens in this country and it is some

full. 1t is, however, worth trying in a
garden. 1t is also reported that Dutch
gardeners in Holland are able to Sc
cure protection from this. maggot by
planting onions among the carrots.
The writes would suggest the use Of
tobacco dust containing at least 1 per

can be obtained now from reputable
manufacturers. 1t should be dis.

Twelve Links in
Clean Milk Chain
Healthy Herd and Careful
Attention to Details
Quite Important.

Contrary to a somewhat common be-
lief, it does not require expensive
equipment, high priced cows, or much
extra work to produce clean milk.
With healthy herd, kept in a clean
stable and yard which can be kept
clean easily, and with careful atten-
ton being given to details milk can
be produced, according to E. H. Far
rington and L. G. Thompson, dairy
specialists at the Wisconsin College
of Agriculture, which is both highly
nutritious and wholesome.
Since the reputation of many farm
and factory is based on the purity
of its products it Is quite important
that all Of the aids to clean milk pro-
'duction be known. The first consider
alton, the experts point out, is that of
a clean herd Good milk cannot be
produced from diseased cows. A clean
stable also aids immensely in the pro-
duction of clean milk.
Must Exercise Care.
Good ventilation Is also an impor-
tant factor. It is quite important that
animals secure plenty of pure fresh
air since tuberculosis spreads faster
and gains an easier foothold where
fresh air is not provided in album
dance. A dry barryard and the re-
moval of the manure some distance
from the barn will aid greatly in re-
ducing the number of flies which, in
the summer, annoy the cows and the
mixers.
The value of pure water, abundant
sunlight, and careful feeding cannot
be overemphasized according to the
specialists. The matter of clean milk
ing and clean utensils are intimately
associated, for greaf numbers of bac-
terra, may be introduced into milk
from the bodies of the cows and from
unsterilized utensils. Quick cooling Of
milk to lower temperatures prevents
bacterial growth and aids in the pro-
duction of better milk which will keep
longer and make finer dairy products.
Prompt Delivery Necessary.
After the milk has been produced
under conditions which are, as near
Ideal as possible 1t is important that it
be delivered promptly to careful Gus
toners, Harrington and Thompson de-
clare. They report that milk should
be kept in cold water until it is loaded
onto the wagon to go to the station
or receiving plant.
Clean milk means fewer complaints,
a better class of patrons, and a steady
market for the product. the specialists
conclude.

Alsike Clover Pastures
Unfit for Some Animals

Most farmers know that white
skinned animals pastured on alsike
clover are apt to develop sores on the
nose, ears and legs. Why this is,
science has not been able to definitely
determine, the nearest they can come
to it is to say that 1t is a type of
poisoning, says the Indiana Farmers
Guide. This poisoning seems worse
when hot sunny weather follows a
heavy dew. Professor Hansen, the
weed expert of Purdue. advises that
when it is noted that the sores are ap.
pearing, the affected animals should he
Immediately taken off the clover and
put on grass
While the danger Of alsike poisoning
is not sufficiently great to warrant
farmers to avoid the growing of this
valuable crop In areas where it is
adapted, 1t behoOves those who, keep
white-skinned stock to use care and
judgment in pasturing it.

stroyed. The estimated cost of re-
constructing these has been placed at

himself known to her, and she wei.
coined him back home again, and
promptly they Sell to talking of the
boys and girls with whom he had
grown up. This one, she told him,
had turned out badly. That one had
turned out well. Some were dead
Some had moved away. Finally he
asked:
"Tell me, Mrs. Daily, whatever be-
came Of poor little Jimmy McKenna
who used to live in the shanty right

"Poor, is it?" echoed Mrs. DAILY.
Poor nothin,! Jimmy McKenna had
no schoolin', as you may remember,
but when he grew up he got into
the truckin' business and from that
he turned to contractin', and though
he couldn't read and write. he made
q million"
"Bully!" said the returned one.
"And where is he now?"
"As to that" said Mrs. DAILY, II
couldn't say. hope, though, he's in
heaven. You see, sor. here about two
years ago, Jimmy went down to the
gravel pit where some of the byes
was in swimmin'. an it bein' warm
day he took off his clothes and
waded in, and he waded out too far
and he got over his head and was
drownded."
"Oh, that's too bad" said the visi-
tor. ITO think of boy who had no
better start than Jim McKenna had

Sweet Glover Hay

Sweet clover hay that is well cured
and not too coarse and stemmy is
equal to alfalfa hay as feed for dairy
cows and since it is generally con-
coded that alfalfa hay is superior to
red clover hay for dairy cows sweet
clover hay must be considered better
than red clover hay. 1t must be re-
membered. however. that sweet clover
hay must be well cured end not too
coarse; the cutting from the first
years growth is most satisfactory.
