FARM AND GARDEN
SUPPLY OF ROUGHAGE
DECREASES COSTS
IN RAIRYING

An adequate supply of good
roughage is recommended for de-
creasing the cost of feeding dairy
cows and increasing their milk and
cream production.
Cows fed literally on roughage
such as lespedeza, alfalfa, clover or
soybean silage will give a good milk
flow wit honly limited amount of
grain in their ration, says John Arey,
extension dairyman at State College.
To insure a sufficient supply of
roughage for the summer and winter,
dairymen should plan to produce
enough hay and silage to give each
animal II it needs, Arey adds.
About 1-2 ton of legume hay and
three tons of silage should be provid-
ed for each average-size cow during
the winter. Or if no silage is avail
able, the amount of legume hay
should be increased to 2 IL tons,
Arey says.
A combination of silage and hay is
preferable to hay alone, he continues,
since silage furnishes a succulent ra-
ton which is needed in winter. Also,
large quantity of silage can be pro-
duced on a small acreage. One acre
of good corn or sorghum will supply
enough silage to feed three cows six
months.
The trench silo is so inexpensive and
valuable that no farmer owning as
many as four mature cows can afford
to be without one, Arey points out.
With such silo, the farmer can
store away an abundant supply of
silage for the winter with compare
lively little expense.
Plans for constructing trench silos
may be obtained without charge from
county agents or the dairy extension
office at State College.

TIMELY FARM QUESTIONS
ANSWERED AT STATE
COLLEGE

Question: How much grain should
be fed to a dairy COW in addition to
good pasturage?
Answer: This depends on the maxi
mum production of the animal. The
average cow will consume only
enough grass in a day to maintain
her body in good condition and pro-
duce two gallons or about seventeen
pounds of milk. For those animals
producing more than II pounds, a
grain mixture containing from Is to
Is percent of digestible protein
should be fed at the rate of one pound
Of grain to each five to seven pounds
of milk produced in a day. This will
maintain the animal in good flesh and
permit of maximum milk production.
Question: When should alfalfa be
cut for hay?
Answer: the first cutting should be

LEASE HOUNDS" ACTIVE
IN KANSAS IN SEARCH
OF NEW OIL FIELDS

The oil "lease hound" has proved
an angel of prosperity in the last
year to many landowners in western
Kasas territory stricken by drought.
Oil company land men conduct
their business in secrecy, but increas-
ed drilling activity of recent months
shows many farmers have signed
leases.
Marvin Lee, technical advisor to
the Kansas corporation commission,
estimated leasing income to Kansas
landowners averages about $5,0OO,OO0
year.
The rental income is "gravy" that
ranges from rs cents to possibly 500
an acre-depending on whether the
lease deal was concluded before or
after The soil proved an oil reservoir
and is exclusive of the royalty
right which yields to the landowner
one-eighth of all the oil produced on
his property.
Lees records sow % new oil pools
discovered in the state in 1884. There
were four new areas producing natur-
al gas alone, and eight older pools
were revived by the relatively new
acidizing process.
AS a result of the unprecedented
"play" given Kansas by the oil firms,
production has been stepped up to
new all-tinre high average of more
than 10000 barrels day.
Federal ALLEGATION of production to
Kanss was only 10000 barrels day
at the end of 1888, but was increased
to 141 900 barrels at the close of 1884.
At the present price Of approx
mate 81 barrel for best grades Of
crude oil at the well, the gross in
come for producers and landowners
from Kansas oil in 1885, will APP
proach $5O,0OO,OOO, Lee estimated.

for her wherever she was known, for
to know her was to love her.
Humbly submitted,
In sympathy and love,

made when the flowers are from one
tenth to one-fourth in bloom. Where
there is danger of leaf hopper dam
age the first cutting can be delayed
until the last week in May. This will
reduce the damage later in the season
but sometimes results in poor quail
ity of hay. Later cuttings should be
made when the new growth is we'll

six inches of growth before winter

Question: What can I do to stop

caused by tiny parasite called the

North Carolina has 303,393 farms,
the enumeration of the bureau of the
census, United States department of
commrce, now completed, reveals.
This information was obtained by the
Daily News from James L. Harrison,
area supervisor of the quinquennial
census of agriculture, who had charge
of the work in this state, the area
headquarters office having been To-
Gated in Greensboro.
This constitutes an increase of
1855, or nearly 8.5 per cent, over
the total of 279,7OS farms enumerat-
ed in North Carolina in 1880, the
last preceding farm census.
The area headquarters office in the
new federal building here has been
closed and Mr.. Harrison has returned
to Washington where he is with the
bureau of the cesus. He is at % Ana.

Upon closing the area office here
Mr.. Harrison expressed appreciation,
on behalf of himself and the bureau,
Ito all the farmers and the various
county and state officials and news
papers who have so kindly rendered
their cooperation in this work" The
effectiveness with which the work has
been prosecuted since it's inception
about the first of the year has elected
much favorable comment.
Examination of the farm enumera-
ton totals in the 1885 census dis
closes that of North Cardinals 100
counties, Is have more than 5000

STOCKHOLM, August ~. Re-
vamping of the Swedish defense sys-
TEN, including unification OF COM
mand, expansion of the air force and
army, and reduction of the navy Win
greater attention to light ships, was
recommended today in the report OF
the commission of 10, completing a
five-year study.
A seven-year program entailing the
expenditure of 100000 kroner
(about $18,000,000) was recommended
for building up the air force from
100 first-line aircraft to 257, with a
corresponding increase in personnel.
A 10-year program of navy moderni-
zation was suggested, at cost OF
50,000,000 kroner.
The commission decided that bat
tleships for defense purposes did not
Justify their cost, but recommended
that the most recently built should
be modernized against air attack.
The commission also urged that
the consumption age limit be raised
from AZ to As years.
The commission, whose report now
must be considered by the govern
ment, said: THE conclusions were
reached after a careful study of the
international situation and the eco
nomic and strategic position OF
