GRASS FLAVOR IN
MILK UNNECESSARY
Keep Cows From Greens
Few Hours Is Advised.

Manufacture, New Jersey College OF
Agriculture -WNU Service.

Manufacture, New Jersey College of
Agriculture.-WNUS Service
Nothing puts that desirable
"June" flavor in milk quite so sue
cessfully as tender green grass, but
in order to avoid the undesirable
odor and flavor which nearly al
ways occurs when cows are first
turned on pasture, it is necessary
to observe caution in the pasturing
practice.
Research workers at the Califor-
MIA and Oklahoma Agricultural Ex-
pertinent stations have shown that
if cows are kept away from rough
ages, especially green roughages,
at least five hours before milking
very little of the ''feedy' flavor Will
be evident in the milk. This same
procedure can be applied to pas
turing practices. The cows can be
turned on pasture Immediately aft
er the morning milking but they
should be removed to a dry lot or
barn at least five hours before the
next milking.
If this practice is followed for the
first two or three weeks in the
spring, there will be very little OF
the undesirable grass odor and fla
vor in the milk. This practice will
even eliminate most of the wild gar
lie or onion flavor if these plants
are found in the pasture. At the
same time the cows will have
enough time to consume the neces-
sary quantity of grass to supply
their needs.
To get the very finest flavor in
milk during the pasture season, it is
suggested that this procedure be fol.
lowed throughout the entire time.

Keep Brood Sows Gaining

Brood sows should be kept gain
ing at the rate of about one pound
per day up to farrowing time. Diff
Guilty in narrowing, pig eating and
poor milk flow are often traceable
to inadequate rations, states a writ
er in Wallaces' Farmer. A good ra-
tion includes about a pound of oats
per sow daily, a small amount Of
protein supplement such as tankage
or soy bean meal, free access to leg
ume hay and enough corn to put on
the desired gain.

A Strong Arm

Give me the pure heart, o Lord,
to feel Thy presence near me. Give
me the clear mind that understands.
Give me the stainless soul that shall
return to Thee fearless when my
time shall come. And give me the
strong arm to defend, with all my
heart, with all my mind, with all
my soul, the glory of Thy kingdom.

Floors for Horse Stalls

A clay floor is better than any 9TH
er kind for the good of the horses but
it is difficult to keep this type of
floor clean. The horse will also dig
holes in the clay floor, making it i'm
possible to keep it level. The next
best type of flooring for horse stalls
would be oak planks. Floors made of
oak wear about as we'll as those
made of any other kind of material
and are comparatively economical,
advises A. L. Harvey, division of
animal hush landry, University
Farm, St. Paul.

MESSAGES by Kite

The Chinese are much given to
the pastine of kite flying and
some of the constructions are
marvellous to behold. The Chinese
kites often have two strings and
these enable the operator to make
the kite do some wonderful things.
1t becomes an aerial messenger,
as it is possible to make the kite
form letters and characters by
which messages may be eX-
changed.

Portable Brooder House
Favored by Specialist

A round-roof portable brooder
house, lighter in weight and easier
to move than the ordinary shed-roof
type may we'll be one of the factors
in the success of the farm poultry
enterprise in 1887, according to Cora
E. Cooke, extension poultry special
ist, University Farm, st. Paul.
Besides being more portable, the
house is easier to heat, because
of the smaller amount of head
space. Another advantage is the
window arrangement, for on all four
sides there are two windows OF barn.
sash size. The windows distribute
light over the floor evenly, prevent
ing crowding and the development
of too much heat from the sun in one
place. The window arrangement al
so provides ventilation to fit all
weather conditions. In hot weather
windows on the four sides may be
opened to allow for excellent cross
ventilation.
A double floor, which protects the
young poultry from cold, is II by ID
feet-large enough to accommodate
400 baby chicks or $50 young tur-
keys. The matrix, or form, for the
round roof is easily made by fitting
1-inch material together.
Sloping roosts are constructed
along the sides. A 500-chick brooder
stove may be used in the house.
Feeding porches, II by IA feet,
may be attached to the house. For
chicks, 1-inch mesh wire should be
used; for turkeys, l by 2-inch mesh.

Farm Notes

A farm of $4,000 acres is adver-
tised for sale at Johannesburg, South
Africa.
A horse at hard work normally
consumes about IL pounds of grain
daily per 100 pounds live weight.
Insulation is desirable in the poul-
try house regardless of the source
of heat, whether that heat comes
from a mechanical heating system
or is generated by the birds them
selves.
Among spring-seeded pastures,
oats give the greatest pasturage in
the shortest time and at the least
cost. Seeded early, they give salts
factory pasturage in four to six
weeks.

A Significant
Book

They call the author Of Buck
skin Breaches" the new" Phil
Stong. What they mean is that
he has left the Fair Grounds be-
hind to write his first historical
novel. Wit, he had always, as
readers of his first best seller will
recall. but the fine, grim humor
running through this new book
should do, much to increase his
reputation as a story teller.
1t is his story, Of course, that
counts. The same sort of ground
he covers here was covered in such
historical romanceS as Cardigan"
The Conqueror" and "ShowBoat. I"
There's nothing new or overpow-
ering about his setting or theme,
but the manner in which he shows
time passing over group Of people
makes "BuckSkin Brooches" a
highly significant book.
His hero is a man Of great
stature. He is both "pitness and
unpitiable." Full Of a kind Of
quiet violence, liable to explode
when least expected yet able when
moved to display a curious and
equally unexpected gentleneSS.
The suggestion for "Buckskin
Brooches" and good part of the
material came from the memoirs
of Phil Stong'S grandfather, who
settled in "Ioway" in 1887.
He made his wagon track from
Ohio to ''Ioway" to escape the un-
couth influences of a decadent
community. He wanted land and
a new world and he found it. BY
that time pioneering was several
steps removed from the first he
roic invasion of the western from
tier. The Indians were no longer
a serious menace. There was the
hospitality of friendly neighbors
and the convenience of a trading
post, But there was still hard
work and Mr.. Stong's hero vel
coined it.
This mans wife, his children
and the old warrior with whom he
fought in the battles Of 1912, add
much to the interest Of the story.
Perhaps the best thing to be said
of it, is that it seems too short.
Mr.. Stong could have continued
indefinitely and still held his
audience. .....

comes from the pen of Vida
Hurst, author of mo Regrets"

an old but ever fresh problem.
Two people, who probably
shouldn't have met in the first
place. fall in love. She is the
spoiled and pampered daughter
of a wealthy banker. He. the
hard-working mainstay of a wild
owed mother. What is more to
the point, he refuses what help
he might have had from her
family and she starts her married
life in an uncomfortably small
apartment on an uncomfortably
small budget with a mother-in-
law who never liked her anyway.
These human elements add up
to an impending divorce, as well
they might. Nothing the girl does
pleaSeS her husbands mother and
nothing the mother-in-law does
pleases her. Yet the husband SIM
ply can't see why they don't get

a new direction to clear up these
misunderstanding and they set
up housekeeping at the end in

Hopi Indians, for instance, have
a tribal Santa Claus. Or several,
to be exact, but it's the same syS-
tenn. The parents struggle to OBJ
tain toys for their children and
the Katchinas get all the credit.
The Katchinas arrive in the morn
ing carrying great bundles Of
gifts.
Instead Of Sleigh-bells, which
nobody ever hears, they have
turtle-bells tied to the calves OF
their legs. These make a most
engaging sound and stir up great
expectations.
They even have packs on their
backs and since the squawS wear
red and white cloakS the compari-
son with our Yuletide ceremonies
continues.
Do not believe, however, that
the young Hopi Indian has the
sheltered background of his white
skinned brother. He must learn
to use the bowString presented
from the Katchinas pack. He
must master the intricacies of
throwing the Sharp-edged rabbit
stick. He often gets wounded rob-
bling baby eagletS from their nest.
Hopi ceremonial life is in itself
an education and all good Indians
go through the initiation.
John Louw Nelson follows one
from his cloth-enveloped cradle to
manhood. Through him we meet
the Hopi tribe. Through him we
learn of the Great Drought and of
the rain that finally came, bring
ing new life to the mesa. Hence
the title.
Mr.. Nelson, who is director of
research with the Museum of the

ton. lived with the Hopi for more
than eight years. His book is illus
trated with photographs and paint

Under the editorShip OF Ralph
De Sofa a profuSely illustrated vol
ume has just come off the presses
of Halycon House with about
everything in it about the occu-
pants of the ZOO.
Here one can find informative
short treatises about all the well
known deniZenS of the forests,
mountains and swamps and a few
things that the city dweller
wouldn't be expected to know but
might come in handy during the
vacation trip or to answer the chill
oren's questions.
For instance, the editors pick
out this as an example of the
knowledge they purvey:
"A duck-billed platypuS is the
real whaZzix of the animal
wOrId-neither, flesh, fish nor
fowl. 1t lays eggs like q bird.
feeds its young on milk, is GOV.
cred with fur, has a bill and
webbed feet resembling those of
q duck, is equipped with spurs
like a game cock, and pOiSOns its
enemies exactly as a snake"
OF course not all the animals
are as freakish as this one. There
is included some very valuable in
formation about the species that
are better known. Its accuracy has
been checked by curatorS of the
various New York geological insti.
tutions and can be recommended
for young and old alike.

pretty nearly tells its story.
It has a hospital background,
and it's heroine is all prepared to
further the interests of medicine
and humanity when the husband
of a patient falls in love with her.
Her career as nurse comes to an
end, but she embarks on a much

Fortune smiles on her new call

for her face and figure.

The physician also falls in love
with her, but there is still the bar

How the author deals with this
forms the substance of the story.
This particular author knows a
good deal of the two worlds of
which she writes. She studied
medicine herself and wanted to be

plans and she spent her time pos
