FOR A BETTER GARDEN.

mrs. B. W. B., CIGTksbNT0)
To those Of you who are
trying to make new gardens
IN the new subdivisions: Most
Of the earth Of which your
yard is composed Is subsoN
and I'LL dirt. It's clay for the
most part, with little, or no
humus. It is either sticky wet
or concrete hard when dry.
To improve this, first get BUSH
els and bushels Of leafmold
from q wooded area. Peat
moss may also serve the same
purpose Of adding humus and
conditioning the soil. This
should be worked into the soil
or left as mulch. Drive out to
Q farm and ask for q bushel
or two Of barnyard manure.
Also any vegetable peelings,
grass clippings, twigs or leaves
should be compoSted and left
to decay, when they should be
turned into the soil. Wood
ashes from a fireplace are in
valuable for their supply Of
potash. Get all the agricul-
tural bulletins on soil i'm
provement, from a garden
club) and get to know those
in your neighborhood who
have exceptional gardens and
get their advice. The folks
you meet and the wonderful
times you have trading and
talking flowers can't be meas
ured. Save eggShells and cof-
fee grounds and tea leaves.
These added to your compost
and soil do wonders. And
might I add be very careful Of
the poisonous sprays and in
sectideS. They are lethal
liquids and dustS and should
be kept away from children
and pets. We've had one lit

As parts dried molasses beet pulp,

this hay and grain ration over the
five year period the average daily
gain was 1877 pounds, or a total

feed calves a liberal allowance OF
good quality alfalfa hay during the
winter if one does not want to sacri-
flee growth and general thriftiness.
A winter feeding program, at the
station, where calves were full fed
on good quality alfalfa hay has pro-
duced a daily gain of l pound per
head. This winter feeding program
has proven the most economical
when figuring feed cost and both
winter and summer gains in COM
parison to a limited ration of hay or
full fed ration of hay plus grain.
In 1880 the experiment station
started winter feeding test with
heifer calves to compare the effect
of full feeding versus limited feed
ing alfalfa hay on winter plus sum-
mer gains. The test covered a period
of IL years. The heifers used in
this test were grade Herefords of
fair quality produced in the station
herd. They were fed in open shed
lots with access to ice-free water
supplied in tanks.
Full-Fed VS.. Limited
During this trial the full fed
heifers made an average daily gain
of l pound for 140 day period.
They consumed an average of 25
pounds of hay per 100 pounds of
body weight or the equivalent of
480 pound animal getting IL pounds
of hay per day.
The limited hay fed animals were
given just enough hay to maintain
their weight during the winter.
During the winter they gained %
pounds on ration consisting of 1.8
pounds of hay per 100 pounds of
body weight or the same as 7 pounds
of hay for a 400 pound calf. The
average total amount of hay fed to
the full fed calves during this period
was 1,750 pounds as compared to
1000 pounds for the limited fed
ones.
With hay valued at $40 per ton
(present local price, full fed calf
would cost $3.50 for wintering as
compared to $40 for a limited fed
one. The cost would definitely be
in favor of the limited fed one
However, when both winter and
summer gains are taken into con-
sideration then the full feeding ra-
ton is to be preferred even at the
extra cost.
Good Summer Rance
After the winter feeding period
which usually ended near the enc
of April, the heifers were turned on
on short grass range for approx
mately one month, then taken t,
the Bear Paw mountains for a sum
mer grazing period. At this poin
it might be well to mention that thi
mountain range supplies an album
dance of green grass during the sum
mer and early fall months and j
never overgrazed.
For an 11-year period the averag
winter and summer gain advantag
for the full fed heifers was so pound
over that of the limited fed one
Figuring an advantage of go pound
in winter and summer gain at q
extra winter cost of $3.50, as pointe
out previously, it is concluded tn
