This is Line quite largely to the extremely late spring and the general scarcity Cof these foods, which because of their fsucculent nature contribute to the {maintenance of the flow of milk. The cold, wet season of 1908 brought a = oor return to the farmer of that prop which is his main dependence, namely, corn, and while a representaâ€" tive yield of hay was produced, the quality was more or less impaired by pvcrripeness or poor curing, due to the season. With an empty silo a [now of poor quality hay and an alâ€" most empty corn crib it has become a. serious question to some dairymen to produce milk giving a fair return for their labor and investment. t is indeed fortunate if at this time one has a good mow of second putting clover or mixed grasses. Corn silage is relatively cheap, greatly relished by cattle, and if the corn is allowed to mature in the field the greater part of the nutritive value of Ithe crop is preserved. If fed in conâ€" nection with more concentrated pro- tein feeds, such as dried brewer-5’ grains, gluten, oil and cottonseed meals, so as to be IDOiSt economically balanced, there will be but little fal- in-g off of the milk flow. The cost . f production per quart of milk will be comparatively reasonable, and a ration of 11-0 pounds corn silage, four pounds wheat bran, four pounds breW- 'cr's grains and two pounds cotton- seed meal for a cow weighing from '800 to 1,000 pounds in good flow of milk, will bring good returns. 3, Experiments at the New Jersey ex- periment station demonstrate the practicability of feeding home grown ',protein such as alfalfa or crimson clover hay, with silage, which means When a [ration of 30 pounds corn silage and ’13 pounds alfalfa hay was compared Ewith 30 pounds silage, five pounds gmlxed hay, six pounds wheat bran land five pounds brewer’s grains, the ilcost of production per 100 pounds imilk was reduced from 83.9 cents to 59.9 cents. With .4 pounds crimâ€" son clover hay and 30 pounds silage the cost of production Was reduced 18.3 cents per 100 when fed in com- parison with the same feed ration. A ration of 36 pounds corn sil. ac and 17 pounds cowpea hay, fed in com- iparison with 36 pounds silage, five Epounds corn stalks, four pounds wheat bran, three pounds breWer's grains and two pounds cottonseed meal gave a slight advantage to the cowpea ration. These 'nxnctriments Show the necessity of more Intelligent feeding in order to maintain the flow of milk and more economical selec- tion of food nutrients to cheapo-n the cost of production. The farmer who is fortunate to have in the latter ‘part of winter a good supply of sil- iage with clover hay will note a dc- cid-ed gain in his returns from the gdairy. '3 What shall We feed in place of corn silage until early soiling crops can be harvested? Wet brewer's grains .would furnish a succulent ration to a large degree, yet hardly advisable, as it is almost impossible to get the material in a fresh condition to be depended upon, and which, if sour, would produce an objectionable qual- ity of milk, but the dried grains have ' been freely used at this station, proâ€" ducing very satisfactory results. In the. absence of silage good results have been obtained by wetting a quantity of the dry grains a few hours before feeding, using just enough water to make them soft without beâ€" ing sloppy. The brewer’s grains will furnish about the same bulk and weight as the silage, but 1' uch richer in pro- tein, rcguiring a, strongly carbohy~ [irate feed. Such a ration can be balanced as follows: Twelve pounds hay, six pounds corn and Cob meal, five pounds brewer’s grains, two pounds bran and one pound cottonâ€" seed meal. Wet enough brewer’s grains for 24 hours; mm 600 pounds tOl‘ll meal, 200 pounds wheat bran and 100 pounds cottonseed meal or a smaller amount in the same proporâ€" tion and feed about nine pounds of ihe mixture with the wot grains, rarying the amount to the weight of - :he cow and the flow of milk. A new carbohydrate feed containing tom 7 to 9 'per cent. protein called lried molasses beet pulp, has recently )een put upon ihc market, which, while being expensive for the amount if protein it contains may possibly )0 economical for the person who nust purchase carbohydrates. The writer is conducting experiments with this and the dried, unsweetened pro- fuct to ascertain its feeding value. l‘he material is saturated with waâ€" ter some hours before feeding and the unount fed is equivalent in nutritive value to about 30 pounds silage. The results thus far look encouraging. I wish to emphasize again the im- yortance of considering the cost of beds and the growing of leguminous irops to save the purchase of expen- )ive concentrates. The farmer should iiin to produce on the farm all the Ioughagc and carbohydrates and to ,_ large extent the protein feeds.

This was done in the six summer months by a, rotation of soiling crops giving each cow_60 pounds per day of a, va- riety of green foddcrs with a small feed ration and in the winter months 30 to 40 pounds corn silage with some hay and a more, concentrated feed ration. At the prices of feeds and hay in March, 1904-, in the ab- sence of silage, purchasingall of the roughage, it cost 22 cents per day per head to keep the same herd, or an increase in the cost of production of milk of almost 50 per cent. By feeding alfalfa hay with corn silage, giving a value to each the exact cost of raising and harvesting according to our owu record, that is silage at $2.40 and alfalfa hay (average for three years) at $6.36 per ton, the cost per cow per day would be but 8.97 cents. These figures are signiâ€" ficant and well worth consideration. SPRAYING POTATOES. In general, commence spraying when the plants are 6 to 8 inches high, and repeat the treatment at intervals of ten to 14 days in order to keep the plants \vell covered with bor- deaux throughout the season. Dur- ing epidemics of blight it may be necessary to spray as often as once a week. Usually six applications will be required. The bordeaux should contain six pounds of copper sulphate to each 50 gallons water. Whenever bugs or flea beetles are plentiful add one pound paris green or two quarts white arsenic stock so- lution to the quantity of bordeaux required to spray an acre. ’l‘horoughness of application is to be desired at all times, but is speciâ€" ally important when flca beetles are numerous ,or the weather favorable to blight. Using the same quantity of bordeaux, frequent light applica- tions are likely to be more effective than heavier applications made at long intervals. “When a horse sprayâ€" er having but a single nozzle per row is used, it is better to go over the plants once a week than to make a double spraying once in two weeks. Those who wish to get along with three sprayings should postpone the first one until there is danger of in- jury from bugs or flea beetles, and WHAT THE KING EATS. What’s Fit for Him. ____ A Mass. lady who has been through the mill with the trials of the usual housekeeper and mother relates an in~ teresting incident that occurer not long ago. She says: “I can with all truthfulness say that Grapeâ€"Nuts is the most beneficiâ€" al of all cereal foods in my family, young as Well as old. It is food and medicine both to us. A few morn- ings ago at breakfast my little boy said: “ ‘Mama, does the King cat Grape- Nuts every morning‘?’ .“I smiled and told him I did not know but that I thought Grapeâ€"Nuts certainly made a deliciOus dish, fit for a King." (It’s a fact that the King of England and the German Emperor both eat Grape-Nuts). “I find that by the constant use of Grapeâ€"Nuts not only as a morning cereal, but also in puddings, salads, etc. made. after the delicious recipes ago it is proving to be '1 great nerve food for me bcsides having complete 1y cured a long standing case of in- digestion.” Name given, by Postum 00., Battle Creek, Mich. / There is no doubt Grape-Nuts is the. most scientific food in the world. Ten days’ trial of this proper food in place of improper food will show in steady, stronger nerves, sharper rain and the power to “go” longer and further and accomplish more. There’s a reason.

The other two sprayâ€" ings should likewise be thorough and applied at such times as to keep the foliage protected as much as possible during the remainder of the season. Very satisfactory results can be ob- tained from three thorough sprayings. A single spraying is better 'than none, and will usually be profitable, but more are better. It is unsafe to postpone spraying until blight ap- pears. Except, perhaps, on small areas, it does not pay to apply pois- on alone for bugs. When it is necesâ€" sary to fight insects use bordoaux mixture and paris green together. GRAIN FED CATTLE. During,r the height of the grass sea- son, it is probably not veryprofitable to feed grain to steers on firstâ€"class pastureâ€"particularly if that pasture be blue grass. However, as a rule, it will pay to supply a little grain, par- ticularly if the cattle are followed by hogs. MARKED BY A SIGNBOARD.
