DA IRY FEEDING. Feeds for milcli cows for Late win- I ter and early spring use has more han usual significance this year, . rites George A. Billings. This is “m: quite largely to the extremely late spring and the general scarcity of those foods, which because of their succulent nature contribute to the maintenance of the flow of milk. The cold, wet season of 1903 brought a roor return to the farmer of that rop which is his main (leprndeiice, namely, corn, and while a representaâ€" Iltive yield of hay was produled, the quality was more or less impaired by Dverripeness or poor curing. due to the season. With an empty silo a 'Inow of poor quality hay and an alâ€" most. empty corn crib it has become a serious question to SOlllL‘_(l:1ll‘)'anll to produce milk giving a fair return for their labor and investment. It 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 Iallowed to mature in the field the greater part of the nutritive value of {the crop is preserved. If fed in conâ€" nection with more concentrated proâ€" Fein feeds, such as dried brewers‘ grains, gluten, oil and cottonseed meals. so as to be most economically balanced, there will be but little falâ€" ing oil of the milk flow. The cost 1' production per quart. of milk will be comparatively reasonable. and a ration of 40 pounds corn silage, four p0uuds wheat bran, four pounds brewâ€" er'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. { 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 la. great deal to the feeder. When a [ration of 30 pounds corn silage and :13 pounds alfalfa hay was compared Swith 30 pounds silage, five pounds ,mixed hay, six pounds wheat bran and five pounds brewer‘s grains, the cost of production per 100 pounds milk was reduced from 83.9 cents to [59.9 cents. With .4 pounds crim- 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 silage and ‘17 pounds cowpea hay, fed in com- !parison with 36‘pounds silage, five. pounds corn stalks, four pounds wheat bran, three pounds brewer's rains and two pounds cottonseed meal gave a slight advantage to the cowpea ration. These exocriments show the necessity of more intelligent feeding in order to maintain the flow of milk and more economical selec- tion of food nutrients to cheapen 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 dcL 'cided gain in his returns from the ‘ airy. i What shall we feed in place of corn silage‘ until early soiling crops can foe harvested? “'01; brewer's grains Mould 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, pro- ducing very satisfactory results. In the absence of silage good results haye been obtained by wetting a nuantity of the dry grains a few IlOlll‘S before feeding, using just. enough water to make them soft without beâ€" inp‘ sloppy. The brewer's grains will furnish about. the same bulk and weight as the silage, but much richer in pro- tein. requiring a strongly carbohyâ€" drate 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€" Iced meal. Wet enOugli brewer's grains for 2-1 hours; mix 600 pounds torn meal, 200 pounds, wheat bran and 100 pounds cottonseed meal or a smaller amount in the same propor- tion and feed about. nine pounds of the. mixture with the wet grains, (drying the amount to the weight of the 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 been put' upon the market, which, while being expensive for the amount if protein it contains may possibly )e economical for the person who nust purchase carbohydrates. The writer is conducting experiments with this and the dried, unsweetened proâ€" Iuct‘to ascertain its feeding value. l‘he material is saturated with waâ€" ter some hours before feeding and the imouut fed is equivalent in nutritive: value to about 30 pounds silage. The results thus far look encouraging. I wish to OlllpllnFIYi‘ again the ini- portauce of considering the. cost of beds and the growing of leguminous irops to save the purchase of expen- iive concentrates. The farmer should iiui to produce on the farm all the Ioughage and carbohydrates and to ; large extent the protein feeds.

Doctors and Medicine Other Cases They Just Seem to Suit. Welland, Ont., May SOsâ€"(Special). â€"J. J. Yokoni, a prominent iner- .cliant of this city, is telling his friends of his remarkable cure of a terrible Kidney Disease by Dodd's Kidney Pills. Mr. Yokom's statc‘ mcnt is as follows:â€" “l“or more than a year I had been ailing with Kidney Trouble in all its worst symptoms. I had a distressed feeling in my head, little or no apâ€" petite and a feeling of languor . I be.- came greatly reduced in weight. “Doctors and medicines failing to give me any benefit I became despond- cut when by good luck I chanced to try Doddâ€"s Kidney Pills and from the first they seemed to suit my case. After taking five boxes the old trou- ble had gmdually disappeared and I was healing better than I had in many years." Dodd's Kidney Pills suit the case of every man, woman or child who has any form of Kidney Disease. They always cure and cure perman- ently. W milch cows for the entire year .at 12.88 cents per day per head. 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 fodders 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 abâ€" sence of silage, purchasing all 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 own 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 well covered with borâ€" deaux throughout the season. Durâ€" 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. Thoroughncss of application is to be. desired at all times, but is speciâ€" ally important “hcn flea 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 spray- 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 sprayith should postpone the first one until there is danger of inâ€" jury froni bugs or flea beetle-S, and â€"â€"â€"_â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"__._â€"___ 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 inâ€" teresting incident that occurred not long ago. She says: "I can' with all truthfulness say that Grapeâ€"Nuts is the most benefici- al of all cereal foods in my family, young as well as old. It is food and medicine both to us.

Very satisfactory insults can be obâ€" 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 bligiht apâ€" 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 bordeaux mixture and paris green together. GRAIN FED CATTLE. During the height of the grass sea- son, it is probably not. very profitable 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. _._â€"_+_~. MARKED BY A SIGNBOARD. Between the stations of Catorce and La Marona, in Mexico, just mid- way between the 23rd and 24th de- grees of latitude, the Mexican Naâ€" tional Railway some timeago erect- ed an immense stone signâ€"post. The railway line here crosses the iinaginâ€" ary line that separates the temperate and the torrid zones, and the stone with its wooden crown and index fingers, shows where the Tropic of Cancer would run if it were a tangi- ble line.
