C. m | PROPER PASTURE I FOR DAIRY COWS I The feed of dairy cows Is over half /the expense of producing milk, and the amount and character of the feed given largely determine the production of good cows. Therefore the dairyman has on one hand the prob? u"' "f feedlne a liberal ration to his ccws at all times so that good producj ! tJon will be secured, and on the other j hand the problem of keeping as low as possible the expense attached to such a large item in the cost of milk production as feed. He must select feeds not alone for their milk-producing qualities, but also for their economy. A good pasture crop that will feed the jcows for one-half of the year Without supplement, except for highproducing cows, Is certainly supreme in the realm of economy. It relieves the dairyman of much labor In feeding his cows right in the cropping season and at the peak of the labor load, and, in addition, cuts almost in half the acreage of crops that must be raised, harvested, and stored for barn feeding during the year by per- I mlttlng the cows to gather their own feed for six months in the open, under the best possible conditions for milk nroduction. The vital pasture problem Is to select some crop that furnishes a large amount of feed per acre and especially one that furnishes an even supply throughout the summer season. Sweet clover seems to furnish such a large and even supply of feed throughout the summer, and dairy cows produce so well on It, that a questionnaire was sent out to 81 dairymen who hud had experience In pas turlng sweet clover with dairy cows. A summary of their reports shows that on the average three-fourths of an acre of sweet clover pasture will furnish sufficient roughage to keep a cow weil fed for six months. Cows producing above 30 pounds per day should, of course, receive some grain. The growing of sweet clover pasture causes a great saving of land as It requires only half as much acreage per cow as Is usually devoted to bluegrass, and, In addition, a very small amount of crops Is necessary to supplement It while with bluegrass It requires from an acre to an acre and a tinir ,,f Kimnlementarv crops. i ? Summer Grain Mixtures to Supplement Pasture Cows In pood condition producing less than one pound of butterfat a day will undoubtedly prove most profitable on pastures alone, believes O. C. Humphrey, dairy husbandryman at the Wisconsin experiment station. He suggests Varying amounts of grain mixture be fed In addition to abundnnt pasture where a larger amount of milk Is given. Here are suggested mixtures: For Holsteln or Ayrshire cows producing 30 pounds of milk dally, 5 pounds of grain; 40 pounds of milk, 9 pounds . of grain; 50 pounds of milk, 10 pounds of grain. For Guernsey or Jersey | cows producing 20 pounds of milk a day. 3 pounds of grain ; 30 pounds of I milk, 0 pounds of grain; 40 pounds of milk, 10 pounds of prain. Ration one to be fed when cows are on pood pasture conslstinp of 100 pounds of pround oats, 100 pounds of wheat bran and f>0 pounds of corn meal. 1 i Ration two for cows on fnlr pasture conslstinp of 200 pounds of wheat bran, 200 pounds of corn meal, 50 pounds of oil meal. The third raticjn for cows on dry summer pastures is 500 pounds of corn and cob meal anil 200 pounds of oil meal. Dairy Hints Provide fresh, pure water in j abundance and easy of access. * The advantage of a scrub cow is that it doesn't take so long to milk her. ? Clean the entire body of the cow daily: hair in the region of the udder should he kept short by clipping. ? * Why make the good cows support the scrubs? Let the scales and the Babcock test be your guide. * * * Home mixed feeds concocted with the correct proportion of different ingredients are now being successfully fed to young calves as a substitute for milk. In milking be quiet. quick, clean, and thorough. Commence milting at the same hour every morning and evening, and milk the cows In the same order. * ? Milk utensils should be made of metal, and all joints smoothly soldered. Never allow utensils to become rusty or rough inside. Use them only for handling, storing, or delivering milk. Hpve the herd examined at least onc4 a year by a skilled veterinarian. Promptly remove animals suspected of being in bad health. Never add an aniital to the herd until you are certain it is free from disease, particularly tuberculosis. i ? A! dairy cattle exchange has been started by the Indiana State Dairy association. Its purpose is to place Jj .high class pure-bred cattle on more farms In the state. - . I ? * To clean dairy utensils, use only pure! water. First rinse the utensils In warm water. Then wash Inside and ^ out In hot water in which a cleansing material has been dissolved, and rinse r agaip. Sterilize with boiling water or j steam. Then keep Inverted in pure ? air and sun, If possible, until wanted for tie. > Only Twin Percheron colts, the only'pa! of California agricultural college recei mother. Poultryme Standa ? ?$. Ask Immediate Steps to Afford Federal Recognition and Protection. (Prepared by the United State* Department of Arrlculture.) Pmiitrrmpn representing the "ac M. ^ . creditatlon and certification" movement In the Middle West met recently In Chicago, where they passed resolutions requesting the United States Department of Agr* alture to "take Immediate steps to afford federal recogitlon and protection to the work now being carried on In the different states under the general terms of the Manhattan plan." Manhattan Plan. The Manhattan plan was adopted last summer at a national conference at Manhattan, Kans. In accordance with this plan, uniform rules and regulations governing the accreditation and certification of breeding flocks, baby chicks, and commercial hatcheries are being established In all states. In the past there has been a great difference In the standards to be met by poultrymen in the various states before their flocks and hatcheries were eligible for accreditation or certification. This not only served to retard the progress of the Industry, but It unfairly shielded some poultry*""" Konlnir Iamc ctHncrpnt mrii iu u?t omico uu < ui6 rules than others. The public has come to regard the words "accredited" and "certified" as Indicative of superior quality, but due to lack of federal or state supervision many flocks and hatcheries were advertised falsely as being "accredited" or "certified." Urge Co-operation. It was also resolved at the meeting to request poultry and farm Journals to co-operate In the campaign against misleading advertising by breeders CULTIVATION KIL AND SAVES ESSI <j All Seeds Need Moisture, Air and Warmth. The success or failure of a crop Is often determined by the preparation of the seed bed and the early cultivation. The beginning of proper cultivation Is In the careful preparation ;Of the seed bed because It Is hardly possible to get the soli In proper condlflnn nfter the seed have been planted. "Three things are necessary for the germination and growth of all seed," says C. R. Hudson of the farm demonstration division at North Carolina State college. "These are moisture, air and sufficient warmth. The first two are secured through good preparation of the seed bed whjle the warmth may be inCuenced by the same process. If the soil has been gradually deepened year after year by careful plowing, breaking the land should always be followed by harrowing or disking given, if possible, within 24 hours after the plowing. Then the soil needs to settle so that the seed bed will be hard after which another harrowing is given to re-establish the mulch." Cultivation after the seed are planted is not only- to keep down weeds and crass which would take un the moisture and plant food and shade the crop, but, also to keep the top soil open to make more plant food available and to give help in warming the soil. Weeds are more difficult to eradicate after they have grown an Inch or two above the soli. Mr. Hudson urges the use of the weeder or harrow Immediately after rains as one of the Small Orchards Best The chief reason why farm orchards are so often neglected and become next-to-useless eye sores, Is that they are too large. So says Prof. W. S. Brock of the Illinois College of Agriculture. Mr. Brock thinks that 25 trees are enough for the average farm. This number, he says, can be made to produce a nice lot of fruit economically, and without interfering with the other farm work, if proper equipment is used and the necessary attention Is given. Cow Improvement Shown A man who has studied testing association records of over 18,000 cows says: "As butterfat production Increased from 100 pounds upward toward 400 pounds a year, there was a gain of about $16 Income over feed COStfi for pnph 50 nnnnHu nf IncroflBP In the production of butterfat." This means, breed up and feed up the herd. It Is not a difficult matter to Improve a dairy cow If she Is given the right kind of feed and proper attention. a ** , ? Percheron Colts j lr living, were born at the University otly. They are here seen with their in Want rds Alike and commercial hatcheries that had not met the state requirements for certification and accreditation. "The department is thoroughly in sympathy with the movement for uniform state requirements," says Dr. M. A. Juli, in charge of poultry investigations for the United States Department of Agriculture, "but can only lend its moral and advisory support at present, as no funds are available to enable the organization of an inspection service to co-operate with the states in establishing uniform accreditation and certification in the United States." Soy Beans for Cattle Further use for soy beans, rapidly forging to the front among farm crops, has been found In the cattle feeding trials at the agricultural experiment station at Purdue university. Whole soy beans may be used to take the place of cottonseed meal as a protein supplement in a ration of shelled corn, silage and clover hay in fattening two-year-old steers for market Soy-bean hay also made a satisfactory substitute for both cottonseed meal and clover hay when used with silage and .shelled corn. Shipping Fat Hogs Every shipper and producer knows the danger of shipping fat hogs in hot weather and dreads it. But no day is too hot to ship hogs and no hog is too fat to ship If the proper precautions are taken. If the hogs are handled quietly in hauling them to the shipping yards without too much extra exertion or excitement, fftaded into a car bedded with wet sand rather than straw, and just good common, hog sense used all the way along the line there is no reason for loss. LS THE WEEDS CNTIAL MOISTURE most effectual and economical cultivations that may be given. Maintaining the soil mulch is one of the important things during the summer. If the soil crust is kept loose, very little other cultivation is needed. Sows Need Protein As brood sows need protein and mineral matter to Insure a litter of strong pigs they should be given other feed in addition to corn or grain. Alfalfa or clover- hay can be kept in a feed rack so the sows can have what they wish of it. A month before farrowing, a little tankage should be given the sows, one-third pound a day being sufficient. EUtHEkCTSg One hour out of ten is needed to keep the tractor in good condition. * Salt should be given horses separately from their feed, and they should be able to get it at all times. ? A nnmher of !nspot? cnoh oa white grubs, wire worms and cutworms, are always present In sod. They frequently destroy corn and other row crops. Before growth starts, the soil around all young trees should be thoroughly broken up and stirred, for two or three reasons. It is good practice to thus ventilate the roots. It has been found that hens need more salt than they get from the usual rations, and that bone meal In addition to oyster shell gives better results than oyster shell alone. ... X Th? irhont wttl k"* ? uvui Qivncio TV 111 1 CJViVC UUl little to know that the consumption of flour in the United States Is now 16 pervcent less than it was before the war. Buckwheat does not give a big return; keep down the cash outlay in growing It. One hundred and fifty to two hundred pounds of acid phosphate to the acre gives the best returns on the average. Cutworms are among the most troublesome Insects with which the gardener and the farmer have to deal. Their principal damage is done In the spring when they cut-off young plants yat or near the surface of the ground. Chtworms are not difficult to control, the most effective and the most practical method being to poison them with poison bran mash. 4 .
