TO WINTER CATTLE

(Walter M. Lea)

_-is pasture is unusually good for

the season cattle should go into winter quarters in better shape than formerly and as it is most import- ant that the growth and flesh they now carry be sustained, an extra elfoit should be made to keep them growing throughout the winter. The time was, when horned cattle sold cheap, eicu when put up in good flesh und a loss in weight during the winter season did not seem of much importance, however at the figure ull kinds of stock now are worth it is neither true economy or good business to allow any animal to shrink in weight during the winter. It matters not how scarce the owner may be of feed it is not a good ex- cuse aud it is always poor manage- ment to let stock go back.

Every farmer of any experience

should know within a small margin, how many head he can carry through until 1st of June, and should either cut his stock down before going into winter quarters or secure or ar-

causing a spraiu, an eulargemenhend lameness. Severe galloping on heavy; ground, high or wide jumping with a heavy weight in the saddle, injudici-' ous hacl-ling, such as foolish riders or drivers sometimes have recourse to

otherwise, objects to go in the desir- ed' direction, arc among the more common causes of thc disease. It is also noteworthy that curb is one of the hereditary complaints the horse is subject to, therefore a mare suffering or having suffered therefrom should not be chosen as a breeder, The l-est method to detect this defect is to stand close to the hind quarters of the animal, and look down the limb affected, from the cap of the hook, when a slight enlargement will be ob- served about 3 in. from the point of the hock. It is also easily detected by taking a. glance at the leg side-. ways. To treat this the obj:-,ct should' be to reduce the inflammation, and for this purpose a continual applica- tion of cold spring water will be rhi- chicf thing. Equal parts of spirits of wine, water, and vinegar also form a

I fail to see where any farmer can

think it pays him to let his young growing stock fall in weight and flesh all winter, when a little extra feed along with what he has given

would have meant a gain.

This is where the sorrv part comes

in. It costs quite o lot anyway t

merely bring young stock through alive. They must have all the rough- nge, such as straw, they can eat

twice n day, to be kept in any shape

Now if a small amount of turnips and either a little hay or crushed oats were given with this straw ra- tion, that animal would continue to grow. No time would be lost, when again turned on grass. They would

make surprising gains. There can

MORE EGGS FOR NOTHING

Most farmers keep fowls. Most

farmers, too, do not get as many eggs as they should, and in most cases this would be remedied, not by more expense (for farmyard fowis must not cost much to keep), but a little more? trouble and common sense, For instance, on many farms,

‘ the fowls are fed twice a day-in the

morning and the early afternoon- generally after the farmer has finish-~ ed his breakfast and dinner. This means that the unlucky creatures go without food, (except such as they pick) from mid-day, or soon after, till the next morning, sometimes for nearly twenty hours. Further, if a hen happens to be laying at feeding time, and does not come off the nest, she has to go without n. meal for twenty hours and most people know

' that laying hens require more food

than others. How can one expect hen to lay well under such circum- stances? And yet I know from per- sonal experience, thut these condi- tions exlst on many farms.

Again, if a change of diet were

more frequently given farmyard fowls would lay much better. A change now und again would cost no more but the poor fowls have to have whatever is handy, and often are fed on one kind of groin for months. How would the farmer like to have say bread and butter. without n change, for a few days even?

If farmers would feed their fowls a

little oftener, say three times R dav (before they have their own break- fast, at m d-day, and'just before dark), and if they would change the

helfers so they will gain rather than ,ood more f,,eq,,e,,,,,,_ _nd ,,mv,d,,

SYS'l‘EM OF BREEDING

One great trouble with the people

who are raising poultry today is the lack of system in breeding. Careful breeding and selection is necessary if one hopes to ever make a success in poultry raising. Select and breed from the individuals which come up to s, certain standard of egg produc- tion or size, rather than -from the en- tire flock, as most people -:lio are

DAILY THOUGHTS `

The droppings from the cattle will

'benefit the pasture more if they are ,spread or broken up with a spike- tooth harrow. This prevents the grass from being killed out and weeds ,coming in where the droppings have |lafn.

The most important business of

the dairyman is to increase the amount of mnnuria] substances und apply them where they will do _ the mostigood to the growing crops.

He is l'n no wise xi public benefactor

who keeps two cows to do the work of one.

A poor milkor is one of the surest

means of diminishing a milk flow.

'Poo many dalrymen are conducting

their business as aside issue when they should be making it the leading feature of their farming.

The new cow_has an individuality

of her own and the feeder should be- come acquainted with her as soon as possible after she is brought into thc herd. _

WHEN DAIRYING DOES NOT

INCREASE SOII. FERTILITY

Far too few farmers raise enough

cows or other live stock on their farms to supply enough manure to keep up the fertility of the large av-i erages. ' There should he an increase in the number- of head of cattle kept and n decrease in the number ot acres necessary to supplyiood foi these cattle. In other words, he, should resort to more intensive me- thods. What farmer is there who has egfhcienf manure 'to co'verl the Per cent. of his farm that he would like to each year? :The man with a 16 acre farm who keeps 40 or 50 cows and 20 or 30‘ycung stock besides hogs and horses is 'going to sea re suits in the increased productiveness of his field from the manure derived

from these nngmals. ` if

Some may b lievethis tohe impos-

sible. And it iis, if everything that goes to feed the animals comes from the farm. Butthls should not be the cnse. If the animals receive no feed other thanthat grown on the farm the fertility of the soil would be decreasing,,_. for it has been cal- culated that only four-fifths of any crop fed to alnirunls is returned to the soil in theform of manure, That is, one-fifth goes to make milk, heel or pork. Hence ic--is easily seen that if nothing is obtained from outside thc farm there is an actual lessening of the plant food. The remedy for this state of ` affairs is to grow all the roughage onthe ' farm necessary to feed the animals and what con- centrates arc possible, but in the main the concentrates will have to be purchased from outside in the form of cottonseed, meal, linseed, gluten or corn meal, the kind to be determined upon by the _price and [fc-rtilizlng value as well as the food vnlne.--O.

first concerns the length and position' of the hitch, while thc second deals with the position of the driver uni the drag. Each iiiduencesthe otlu-rf to a large _ extent, and successful manipulation of the drug is =?.cpcnd-_ ent upon an uuderstapding of both of them. _ | For orrlinnry purposes thc snatch link or clevis should be fustencd lui* enough toward the blade end of thc' chain to force thc unloaded drug to* follow the team at an unglc of 45 degrees. This will cause the earth fo move along the face of the drag smoothly and will givc comparative- ly light draft to the team, provided the driver rides in the line of draft. Sometimes, however, conditions urs met which require special trcatment,l and in rolling' country such condl-. tions ure not infrequent. Often hf flat place several rods in lengtl- or a' seepy spot needs special attention,

The distance from the drug at. which the if-.am is hitched affects the' depth of the cutting. Shortefiing the chain tends to lift the front slab from the ground; n longer hitch causes the blade to cut more deeply. The length of hitch may be regiilawd by lengthening and shortening the chain at the end which runs through the hole in the blahe end. of ihe drug.

Some attention should be given to

thc edge of the blade. In the begin- ning, the average earth road requires no steel plate on the drag, though the drag will be better preserved if the steel is applied at first. At the end of a yesr's work, ii the dragging has been faithfully done, u steel plate will hc needed.
