| 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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
