WINTER DAIRYING PAYS A Few Very Simple Rif'es for Economical Feeding. A Profitable and Efficient Ration for Work Horses When #all Work Closes--How to Feed Roughage to Live Stock to Hest Advantage, (Contributed b Ontario Department of griculture, Toronto.) NE great lesson which is be ing impressed on the people of Canada at the present time, andy whith 'cannot be emphasized too much ii the need for thrift or economy. ln this connection those in authority ought ® set a worthy étample to what Lincoln call- ed "thé Common People," of whom he_is reported "to have said, '"The Lord must hive loved them, because he made so many." Farmers farm, 'not for fun" as a man sald to me one time, "but fo make money." This may not be a high ideal for farmers or anyone else, but nevertheless it is a very necessary part in the lives of most farmers. The chief value 6f winter dairying from an economical viewpoint is, that 'prices for milk, butter and cheese are always greater in winter 'to the' of summer: Fonts, the gain in price for the ie eream and' butter sold in winter, is clear profit. Some claim that this cannot be done and that the extra cost of feed in winter, more than counter-balances the extra prices re- ceived for winter dairy goods, This is probably true where the cowsfeeder is obliged to purchase all his ¢oncentrates in the form of high priced dairy feeds, such as oilcake, cottonseed and gluten meals, but where a farmer is able to grow all bis roughage, and at least one-half the meal ration, on his own farm, there is probably not so much differ- ence between winter and summer milk costs, as some would suppose; especially on high-priced land. Where cheap, rough land is available for summer pasture, then summer milk can be produced omparatively cheap. Another phase of milk production fn winter worth considering is the labor problem. In winter theme is more {ime to attend to the cows than in summer during the rush of work. Having the cows in & comfortable stable makes pleasint winter work looking after them. If at least half the 'herd be fresh during November and December, these cows will be go- ing dry dt harvest time the following summer, and thus labor is more even- ly and more economically distributed throughout the year. Winter dairying may he warmly commended to the people of the Province of Ontario who keep cows for profit.--Prof, H. Dean, Ontario Agricultural ollege, Guelph. Simple Rules for Economical Feeding. 1; Grow as much of your own feed as possible. 2. Utilize roughages to the great- eat degree possible.

Its houns, or antlers, are divided each into two branches, the shorter one' poidting forward, the other (the longer) pointing backward, and both ending in enlargements that spread out somewhat like the palm and fingers of an open hahd. It is content with a kind of food that none of our ani- als would touch. It is a lichen, - | white in color and divided into a multitude of branches, close together and presenting the appearance of little . bush a few inches high. It grows on the ground, which it em- tirely covers for immense Stretches. During the winter the reindeer seratch the snow with their fore hoofs and uncover the coarse plant, softened by moisture; and this plant they browse. Thus it 1s that inter minable flelds of snow supply su: cient pasturage for these animals. { This lichen, last vegetable resource of the extreme north, is called rein- deer moss, and is found everywhere, t in the most arid lands, between tha poles and the equator, Among the | underbrush of our mos} barren hills, you will find it in abundance, fresh | #nd supple in winter, dried up and | crackling under the feet in:summer. { In Lapland, the reindeer is a do- mestic animal. There it fills the place our cattle and serves at one and e same time as cow, sh and | horse. The Laplander lives ai deer milk and its products. When | the ground is covered with snow, he harnesses the reindeer to his sled and travels as many as thirty léag day, his swift eguipage with its runners gliding over the show 'hardly leaving a trace. behind, reindeer is not fare in vid lr ¢ there it lives in the wild for the Eskimo, much less elviivmd el ow to wid it to Bo i En
