They are fed In the yards on dry hay when fresh grass i8 more palatable, more digestible, more nutritious and cheager, the nec- essary fencing included, than hay. Where lands are cheap it may pay to use wild pasture; but pastures in the wood lot, particularly where the trees are thick, are only about half as productive, and, consequently, only half as efficient, as cultivated pastures Cows feeding in rape and clover. Seed and made excellent fall pasture at very little expense. paiture will come into the rotation. Probably the best mixture for this purpose Wotld' be red clover and’tit: othy, ‘about’ three 'pounds’ to'"seVed pounds of red clover and nine’potnds to' fourtéen potinds ‘of ' thiiothy- per acre; or red clover and’broimus, in which case about five pounds of red clover and ten to fifteen pounds'of bromus are sown per acre, Annual pastures are not practicable for cattle, at least in the semse in Which they are used for sheep. Corn which is grown to maturity, rape which has been grown with a grain, makes a very good pasture for cattle, but only under the conditions men- tioned. . The greatest total amount of pas- ture can be gotten by permitting the grass to get a fair start before turning cattle upon it. When cropped too closely, the grass which the cattle get i8 too watery and does not contain enough nutrients. On the other hand, grass which is allowed to'get too ma- tured 1s woody and’unpalatable,”and was sown with grain crop in spring ‘While lands that lie low, as along creek bottoms, are from one-half to twice as productive as lands that lie high and dry, yet high, or prairie, lands are greatly to be preferred to) wet, swampy tracts. A low, reasonably | dry piece of land is the ideal one for pasture. Pasture lands that cannot be brought under cultivation may well be sown to Kentucky blue grass. In pastures that are under rotation this grass is too slow to start, requiring a couple of years to become well seeded. A good mixture for land along creek bottoms would be, per acre: Blue grass, one pound. Timothy, six pounds. Bromus, four pounds. Red top, three pounds. ‘Where crop rotation is practiced THE FARM HORSE. If Properly Managed He WIll Add to Profits of Owner. Farmers who have made a careful study of farm economics have discov- ered that the horse, as ordinarily kept and managed, is one of the most ex- pensive farm laborers. If properly managed the farm horse may be made to pay his way and add to the profits of the farm. Statistics compiled by the Minnesota Experiment Station through the years from 1904 to 1907, inclusive, show that in the southeast- ern part of the state it costs $90.39 per year to maintain the average farm horse and that in return the horse is doing, on an average, 977 hours of work per year. His labor is costing the farmer 9.2 cents per hour. In the northwestern part of the state it costs $75.08 to maintain a horse and in re- turn he is deing 1,026 hours’ work per year. His work is costing 7.4 cents per hour. If the horse is to keep up his end of the profit making he -must earn something in addition to the actual labor he performs and not as A good type of farm horse. now, on most farms, stand idle the greater part of the year. : A logical solution of the problem seems to be to convert the present horse stock into high class draft brood mares, capable of producing good foals annually in addition to the work done In the harness. The geldings, now spending so much idle time on the farm, should be working where thay can bring greater annual returns to their owners, who can make use of them constantly. Brood mares, with ordinary care, would do the work on the average farm in addition to rafs- ing a colt that would, at the end of the second or third year, sell for a good price. The farmer would then reallze a profit from the mare’s labor. A horse depreciates in value rapldly atter passing a certain age and some farmers, realizing that depreciation detracts directly from their profits, are doing farm work with young horses that are increasing in value while la- boring. The farm is an excellent place to develop a young horse. It is a poor place to make a profit with a horse that is glving nothing but labor in return for his feed and care. Brood mwares will be found valuable in the mortgage lifting enterprise.—J. 8. Montgomery, Secretary Stallion Regis- tration Board at Minnesota Experi- ment Station; 2 THE 0LD HEN AND CHICKENS Cleanliness, Good Food and Regular Care Imperative. Through her efforts to lay ‘and re- produce her species, the hen, in the ol spring and summer, cheapens. her product, enabling mankiud to procure it of course soon ceases growing em- tirely and goes to seed, thus lessening the amount of pasture possible. Spots where cattle leave the grass should be mown down to insure continued growth. The most satisfactory sys- tem of pasturing is where the pasture is divided into two parts and these parts pastured alternately. By follow- ing this system there is little chance of the grass going to seed, and all of the grass is eaten down more uni- formly than when the cattle have ac- cess to the entire lot. Every. man should .aim to have plenty of pasture so that the cattle will grow fat on a very cheap feed. It is much more profitable to do the fattening on these cheap feeds’ than to do it in the winter with expensive grains and roughages. fresher and cheaper eggs than Ts usual in winter. Hens are not to be charged with producing poor eggs, for their owner is always at fault when the egg is not standard in quality. Cleanliness, good food, regular care, with protection from weather and natural enemies, cannot be.too: em- phatically emphasized. Cleanliness must be practiced in the hennery, in- the yards, in the brooders and in the feed. “White diarrhoea ‘may be’intro- duced by slight neglect to keep things clean about the yards, drinking and feeding utensils, etc. When the dis- ease is once present its ravages are extremely fatal. Poultry should not be fed mouldy or musty grain. Young chicks may: first- be fed when thirty-six hoiirs old. Hard boiled eggs, which have been tested on the seventh day of incubation and found infertile, “mixed with" bread crumbs, may be fed the first week.: Jf moistened with sweet “skitimed milk and squeezed ‘dry this® food will be greatly relished by young chicks, and no harm will result if they are fed in clean dishes. When chicks are a week or ten days old- these feeds may be followed with finely cracked grains. Rolled or pinhead oats may also be fed at this time. Pure water and should at all times be supplied:ilk ebundance. Green food is important and should be' supplied, espeéially when chickens or old birds are k!}it in confinement, by chopping mingles, potatees, clover, etc. A green sod placed in the pen will be enjoyed hy the chickens. Exercise may be in- sured by the use of straw or chaff, Never allow the young flocks to go over a feeding time without food. Bad ‘| results are apt to follow. Keeping a supply of food Where it can be fed liberally five times a day for the first three or four weeks, and afterward four times a day, is practiced at:the Minnesota Experiment Station at St. Antnony Park until the flock 1s ‘at least half grown. ‘When a chick'is seen in & érouch- ing position, wings drooping, eyes closed, isolate it from the -flock. ™ Kill and bury it rather than permit itiito run with the flock—Dwight Earde; bin nesota Experiment Station. i3 A Calm Witne: 3 A lawyer was cross examining a wit: ness with a view to getting him mud- dled In his testimony.
