Encourage Drinking

Cows having access to water at will
produced per cent more than when
watered once day. This result was
obtained from average cows on the
federal dairy farm. Beltsville, Mary
land. The higher the production, the
greater the benefit of frequent water
ing.
Cows require so per cent more wa
ter in hot than in cold weather. The
use of large quantities of beets re-
duces the amount of water required.
In cold weather cows prefer water
that has been warmed and will drink
more Of 1t.

Everything to Be Said
for Pushing Pig Along

There is everything to be said for
pushing pig to quick maturity. A
point is reached early in its existence
when more meal is required to pro-
duce pound of flesh. The pig, like all
other growing or producing animals,
requires maintenance ration that
cannot be used for growth or produc-
ton, and the longer it lives the more
will 1t absorb in maintenance-and at
tendance; If it is allowed to grow In
a so-called store condition it will have
exceeded the most salable size by the
time it is fit for slaughter; and lastly
the benefit of rapid turnover is sac
rificed.

Feeding Hens Legume Hay
Favored Plan in Winter

Legume hay, either cut in one-half
inch lengths or left in its natural form
placed in wire basket or box may
be fed to laying hens during winter
as substitute for succulent green
feed. The second and third cuttings
of alfalfa are best for these carry
the most vitamins and proteins be-
cause they have a higher percentage Of
leaves. according to the New York
State College of Agriculture at Ithaca,
N. Y.
Quoting the Ohio experiment sta
ton, the college says that, from No
vember to May, as good results were
obtained from laying pullets confined
indoors and fed legume hay as from
those having access to an outside
range of blue grass.
The hay should be carefully cured
to preserve the green color for the
valuable properties Of the plant seem
to be linked with the color. Alfalfa
and clover leaf shatterings are often
.obtainable when these hays are fed
to other animals.
I The Ohio experiment station reports
that no benefits were derived from
ordinary alfalfa meal mixed in the
mash at rate Of per cent by
weight. Whether the recent product,
alfalfa leaf meal, will prove valuable
like the hay, remains to be determined.
Another good way to feed the le-
gume hay is to tie it in a bundle and
suspend it from the ceiling within
easy reach Of the birds. The depart
ment says it is surprising how the
birds relish the hay and the quantity
they will eat.

Farm Forest Large
Labor-Saving Crop
Within the Reach of Every
Farmer Without Outlay.

Reducing labor costs increases prof
it's in any business and most progress
sive business men are constantly on
q search for labor-saving systems.
Farmers do this by installing labor
saving machinery but there is still
another way which has been largely
overlooked and this lies in giving more
attention to labor-saving crops.
"The farm forest is one Of the
great labor-saving crops for North
Carolina farmers" says r. w. Graeber,
extension forester. "This crop is with
in the reach of every, farmer without
great outlay of money If he will
only cooperate with nature and fol-
low the system which nature so plain
ly suggests"
Mr.. Graeber states that no special
soil preparation such as blowing and
narrowing is needed for a crop of
pines, oaks or poplars. No seed is
needed If few seed trees are left
in place. No fertilizer is needed be-
cause nature maintains the fertility
of the forest soil through the annual
fall of leaves and twigs. All that is
necessary is to keep out destructive
forest fires. When the fires are kept
out. a heavy blanket of leaf litter
prevents weed growth and helps to
hold good supply of moisture. 1t is
in the harvest alone with a timber
crop that labor of man is required.
Mature has provided fine conditions
for tree growth in North Carolina"
says Mr.. Graeber. "Good soil, ample
rainfall and a long growing season
will permit any farm woodland to
produce an annual growth of one-half
to one cord Of wood per acre, while
many areas of pines are producing
two cords and more an acre each year.
Where q farmer does not cut more
than the annual growth Of his timber,
self-perpetuating, labor-saving crop
is made an actual reality"
1t Is not necessary to spare the
ak but it Is necessary to so use the
ak that the best tree specimens have
an opportunity to contribute their
share to an unending crop, states Mr..
Graeber.

In paper that was written by
James Dick, Of the Dungeness Cream
cry, in regard to the advantages of
cooperative creamery, some plain
facts were presented showing why a
cooperative farmers organization has
different purpose to accomplish
than private organization. Mr.. Dicks
paper brought out the fact very
clearly that the cooperative creamery
is working for just the opposite re-
suits from the private creamery. 1t
was shown that the cooperative
creamery works for the purpose of
making the most money possible for
the farmers while the private cream
cry works for the purpose OF making
the most money possible for the
owners.
1t might easily be shown how the
same line of argument that was pre-
sented by Mr. Dick in regard to the
cooperative creamery might be ap
piled to other farmers cooperative
selling organizations.--A. W. Holland

At their annual meeting, which was
held in Seattle on December 20, 1926,
it was shown that considerable prog

of ultraviolet ray on livestock, the
use of electricity in connection with
milking sterilizing dairy utensils and
cooling milk by electricity, and the
utility motor for general farm use.
These studies will be continued in
1927.
The principal power companies OF
the state made reports indicating that
there are now in the State of Wash

The Changing Policy of.
the Lakewood Dairy Co.

The Hardwood Company, Limited,
F. N. Martin, president, with head Of
fees in Spokane, has recently dis
posed of it's retail ice cream, milk
and confectionery departments to the
Western Dairy Products Company and
will confine it's attention
wholly to the wholesale production
and sale of butter, cheese and eggs.
The Hazelwood Company is one of
the largest dairy products manufac-
turing concerns in the Inland EN-
pire. it's branches extending into
Idaho where it also has extensive
cold storage facilities.
Organized in 1888, in Spokane, by
David and George M. Brown, and
their brother-in-law, John L. Smith, as
a milk distributing concern, to handle
the milk from their famous Hazel
wood Farm, just out of Spokane, the
company soon found itself branching
out in other lines of dairy products
distribution and it was not long until
it had string of creameries extend
ing from Spokane to Seattle, includ-
ing Yakima, Seattle and Portland,
Oregon; and little later it even in
vaded the Middle West. establishing
a plant in Iowa. In the course of
time, however, the company found it
advisable to concentrate it's opera
tons, so for many years past it's eff
forts have been confined to the In
land Empire where the business has
grown to be one of the most sub
stantial in the West, drawing much
of it's cream supply from points in
Eastern Oregon, Idaho and Western
Montana. The original trio are no
longer engaged in the active manage
ment of the company, although the
famous herd of Observation-Disclosures
still flourishes under the ownership
of John L. Smith, on fine 400
acre farm at Valley in Stevens County
and David Brown now occupies the
Hazelwood Farm on the outskirts of
Spokane, on which had been born and
reared many of the great show cattle
of the Holstein breed.

Complications From, Colds

This is the time of the year when
colds are common. A cold may lead
to pneumonia to death.
Appendicitis is not a serious dis
ease but the complications that de-
velop when it is neglected are serious.
Likewise cold is not serious but it's
complication, pneumonia, is one of
the leading causes of death and takes
a toll of 100000 lives in the United
States each year. One out of every
seven who develop pneumonia die
from it or from one of the diseases
which develop from it.
If death should not ensue following
one of these conditions, the fighting
power of the body may be so lowered
that tuberculosis or some other dread
ed disease may develop
A cold is an inflammation of
mucous membrane and may affect any
part of the body lined with this tissue,
but is more frequent in the nose,
throat or chest. Colds are responsible
for more loss of life than any other
disease.
Take plenty of exercise, eight hours
sleep, wear light underclothing and
heavy top clothing. Keep the body
clean, not allowing it to become
chilled or to cool off too rapidly when
warm. In other words, keep in good
physical trim.
Colds are often the forerunner OF
contagious diseases such as influenza,
measles, whooping cough, scarlet and
typhoid fever, diphtheria, etc. They
sometimes affect the middle ear. If
neglected, this condition may form a
brain abscess- which is almost al
ways fatal.
Being of such a serious nature
when neglected, cold should re-
ceive a physicians care. Protect your
family and the people with whom
you may come in contact. Do not
cough, sneeze or expectorate in the
presence of Others. ORR not prevent
able, cough or sneeze into your hand
kerchief and later destroy it or see
that it is sterilized before coming in
contact with (. any other person or

The State Department of Agricul-
ture gives the area devoted to berry
growing in Washington at 1908
acres. This is an increase OF 4,614
acres since 1919. Strawberries are on
the rapid increase and with two or
three dependable weevil bates now on
the market or procurable through the
experiment stations, the strawberry is
perhaps the most dependable Of all
the berries for commercial purposes.
Canneries are taking all the straw
berries offered and this season paid
as high as cents a pound for Mar
shalls. Western Washington has an
unlimited area of cheap land suitable
for growing strawberries.
