PASTURING THE WORK HflRSES SAVES. FEED This paper has always believed im pasturing work horses. On most farms grass is the cheapest food available because it requires' no labor' to pre- pare it for use. There is a real saving in allowing' horses to' harvest it for themselves, and even though it is sue- culent enough of it is consumed by the work horse during the night to take the place in a measure of both rough- age and grain, says the Towa Home- stead. Even while grazing on grass that is rank horses will always consume a certain: amount of fresh, tender foli- age, and this is exceedingly rich in flesh forming matter, running up in some instances as high as 30 per cent protein in the dry material. As said before, it 1s bulky, and one must make up his mind in advance that the horses on grass will not pre- sent the prime market condition that they are frequently kept in when they are fed dry feed, but they will do a day’s work every day while running on pasture at night if they are fed a -reasonable ration of grain. In many cases a considerable part of the farm work is done with brood mares, and certainly the mares with their colts are better off in the pasture than they Next to the Percheron horse, the Belgian is the most popular in the United States for draft purposes.

The average dairy cow will return.a larger profit on pasture alone than she will If fed a heavy ration of grain along with pasture. she does not labor like the work mare, still this is an indication as to the pos- sibility of grass feeding, and the mare that is pastured at night will take good care of herself and her colt, and she will put In a good ten hour day every day if fed a suitable grain ration, Possibly under certain conditions questionably a brood mare will feed| While it is true: Tremedden, Cl*u-leu E.

MILLET FOR CATCH CROP. Often Succ sfully Seeded as Late as Aug. 1. If one crop fails in Kansas there is usually time to plant & -catch: crop. Millet' is such a crop and'ig often suc- cessfully seeded as:late as/Aug. 1, al- ‘though the best resultsvare obtained ‘when planted three weeks later than regular corn planting time, points out G. E. Thompson, specialist in crops, di- vision' of ‘extension, Kansas State Agri- cultural college. “Each year from 120,000 to 170,000 acres are planted to millet in Kansas,” states:"Mr. Thompson. ontrary to general - opinion, the heaviest millet producing counties are in the eastern half of the:state. “The rate of seeding varies from fif- teen' pounds per acre in the"western part of-the state to thirty pounds in the eistern part. - Because of the fact that f: the crop ‘matures quickly and produces |. iamedium amount of a fair quality of hay millets have an important place in~ Kansas-agriculture. “Millet" has intensive root systems and draws:its food and water supply almost-entirely from the surface: foot? of ground.

A simple adjustment keeps the teeth engaged their full depth even after long use and hard ser- vice. Among the hay making ma- chinery purchasers-this wek are Vic- tor Carlson of Rosby who took out a 5-ft. John Deer mower and a 10-ft. Deere rake. F. M. Freeze of the Town of Be- midji also took out a John Deere rake. Mr. Freeze investigated others and though some were cheaper he said that he thought he was getting more value for money ‘spent in a John Deere. Mr. Farmer, whether you intend buying this season or not, call in and convince yourself that a great ad- vance has been made in the mower and rake and also binder business which- proves to be a paying propo- sition for the buyer.
