DAIRY AND CREAMERY

ALFALFA VERSUS WILD HAY. ■> -■ i - 1 Experiments Prove Alfalfa Is a Better Milk Producer.

The experiment station of Nebraska has been an interesting series of experiments with dairy cow*. After they had been on dry feed for eight weeks and were in a normal feeding condition, twelve were selected and divided into two lots. In making the division, care was taken to have each lot about equal as to production of milk and butter fat. Lot one was put on a ration of alfalfa hay and lot two on wild hay. Besides all the hay they would eat up clean, each lot received sixteen pounds of beets dally and a small grain ration. One lot was fed alfalfa, and the other wild hay for six weeks and then changed about, lot one getting wild hay and lot two alfalfa for another period of six weeks. During the first period the lot fed on alfalfa produced 120.11 pounds of milk more than the lot fed on wild hay. In the second period there was a difference of 20.14 pounds in favor of the alfalfa. Lot one, when fed on alfalfa during the first six weeks, produced 5,082.40 pounds of milk and during the second period, when fed on wild hay, produced 4,760.20. Lot two, during the first period when fed on wild hay, produced 4,962.29 pounds and during the second period, when fed on alfalfa, 4,780.34 pounds. The decrease of milk and butter production In the second six weeks of the test was largely due to the natural shrinkage from advance In lactation, but It will be noticed that the shrinkage was greater when wild hay w&s fed. When lot two was changed from wild hay to alfalfa in the starting of the second six weeks, they were at a disadvantage, having been reduced In the first six weeks test. It is therefore safe to assume that alfalfa gave even better results than is shown In the figures. The quality of both alfalfa and wild hay was of the best. The animals In both lots had free access to water and salt during the experiment. It required a little more wild hay than alfalfa hay. This was due to the larger per cent, of waste In the former. In live weight the animals changed but slightly, showing a little Increase when on alfalfa. It Is evident from the results of the experiment that normally cured alfalfa hay is more conducive to milk and butter production than wild hay.—Field and Farm.

Pattern for Milking Bench.

The following illustrations taken from Prairie Farmer shows a plan for making a “milking stool’' which is very much handier than the “onelegged stool of old.” The pieces for the sides are cut as In A, then one for the top like B and the remaining boards made after the manner shown in Fig. 1. When the bench is put together take the piece C and place at F between the side board AA at about five Inches from

Bitterness to Milk.

Bitterness of milk may be due to a peculiarity that sometimes occurs toward the close of the milking period, particularly so In the winter time on dry feed. oows under such conditions give milk of a peculiarly bitter flavor, for which no cause or remedy can be assigned. In regard to the trouble In churning, the difficulty probably comee from the small size and hardness of the fat globules, together with an Increased viscosity of the milk. Greater care should be taken In ripening the cream, and pains should be taken to secure a sharp, development of lactic add in a reasonable time. The cream should be (kept at a uniform temperature as near fifty degrees as possible until enough Is secured for a churning. It should then be warmed up to about seven-ty-five, or In extreme cases eighty degrees and kept as nearly as possible at that temperature until it is sharply add which should be in about twenty-four hours.

He—l have thought of it, mum, but there’s so many kinds of soap, and it’s so hard to tell which Is and which is not injurious to the skin, that I didn’t like to take any risks. —Puck.

DUTIES OF COUNTY AGENTS

He Is Not a Mere “Adviser'* but a Field Secretary to Encourage a Community of Action.

County agricultural agents are gome times referred to as “county advisenA This implies a misunderstanding of the real work of the agent. Advisory work is a part of the agent's duties, but is a minor part. The county agricultural agent has about half a dozen principal functions:

(1) He studies the Agriculture of the county to what is being done and what is worth while agriculturally in each part of it. This study Includes farm financial and organization surveys. (2) Hpv gives the results of his stuoies to farmers, not in the way of advice, but as facts observed and conclusions drawn. This is done through the local press, lectures, institutes, circulars, short courses, and personal Interview. (3) Based on these local studies and the ascertained needs of the county, clubs, associations, and the like are organized and the individuals solicited to undertake definite lines of agricultural improvement on their own farms. Organizations are also formed for co-operative buying and marketing and the standardization of farm products.

(4) He endeavors to co-ordinate all existing agricultural agencies within the county, so that all may work unitedly and efficiently. (5) He develops local leadership. The task of improving the agriculture of an entire county is so stupendous that the agent must be primarily an administrator. He must inspire and accept the help of voluntarily assistants in work.

(6) He acts as the connecting link between the scientists of the research institutions of the state and nation and the farmer, presenting the results of investigations in such a way that the farmer can use them, and calling attention of scientists to the local agricultural problems of the county and soliciting their assistance. (7) He gives advice. This may relate to spraying, seed treatment, mixing fertilizers, combating insect pests, cultural practices, or other miscellaneous matter which is the stock in trade of every well-informed agent The giving of advice is seventh on the list, because in actually improving the agriculture of the county it is probably of least importance, though in point of time it may be the flrat work undertaken.—Warsaw Daily Union.

EARLY PLOWING BEST

By E. T. Robbins, Agent, Tazewell County, Illinois.

Early plowing is much the best for corn. It has advantages. When plowing early, one can plow deeper than he can later on and still get a satisfactory seed bed. Whether it is sod or corn stalk ground, the early plowing allows the plowed ground to make a better connection with the soil below and any trash or stalks becomes well surrounded with soil and gets an early start at rotting. Rotten corn stalks do not interfere with tue passage of moisture through the ground as do stalks plowed under just before corn planting time. These early plowed stalks also make less trouble for cultivation.

One of the main advantages of early plowing is that it prevents evaporation of moisture and so allows the soil to hold a full stock of moisture for the use of the crop. Another important advt-ntage is found In the mellow seed ted produced by early plowing. Before tlie land has baked, the soil plows up mellow and it is possible to make a seed bed without the objectionable clods. A still further advantage of early plowing is that It allows the weed seeds an opportunity to sprout and be killed by discing or harrowing before corn is planted. Eaily plowing and subsequent discing and harrowing also do more than anything else to kill out the com root aphis or louse, which causes so much damage with com in old ground. Taking all these things into consideration it is not surprising that corn on land whch' was plowed early frequently yields 10 or 20 bushels more than corn on land plowed late.

FIRST AID TO BARLEY.

If, after the barley seeding Is done, wet weather sets in before the plants appear on the surface, a crust will be formed which the young plant cannot penetrate. In order to prevent the smothering of the young plant this crust must be destroyed- with a barrow as soon as the land is dry enough to do it. If the ground Is la condition and the barley Is up from two or three inches in height, it may be advisable to roll with a corrugated roller or use a spike barrow. This has a tendency to retafld the main shaft and allow the side shafts to dtt velop most vigorously resulting in a more vigorous growth.

NO HOG CHOLERA HERE.

Branch county. Michigan, has been selected by the agricultural department at Michigan as one of those counties for making demonstrations and distributing Hog Cholera Serum In an effort to stamp ont the disease. These selected counties in which every type of work thought to be b «a> eflcial In stamping out Hog Cholera is taken up, should prove of untold value later in helping to rid the wrap try of this scourge.
