Dizzy's Rap at His Old Foe.
Disraeli's unpublished novel will he
rend with eager interest by all who
enre to learn his yiew of his great
rival, Gladstone, who Is therein por
trayed as Joseph Toplady Falconet.
In denying him any sense of humor
tho novelist does not exceed tho priv
ileges of poetic license, for certainly
his model was always In grim, serious
earnest. In declaring, however, that
he was never seen to smile Disraeli
somewhat maliciously exaggerates, for
Gladstone's smile wns not Infrequent,
and was among his many personal
charms. But it must be remembered
that the novel was written when tho
two statesmen had long been settled
nnd unrelenting foes, nnd Dizzy was
a good hater. London Chronicle.

Greatest Quantity at Lowest
Cost for Production Makes
Dairying Profitable.
HOLSTEIN COW MADE RECORD
Produced More Milk and Butterfat
on Pasture, Silage and Roughage
Than When Fed Grain Feed
Stuff Grown on Farm.
(Prepared by tlio Unlteil States Deptirt
mont of Agriculture.)
Profitable dairying does not conslsf
In producing tho greatest possible
quantity of milk.
It does consist, however, In produc
ing the greatest possible quantity of
milk at the lowest possible cost.
To produce more milk, many dairy
men feed too much grain, and pile up
stupendous feed bills. Hut the grain
does not always Increase tho llow of
milk nbove what It would have been
without grain, enough to pay the dif
ference In the. feed bill. Dairy special
ists of the United States department
of agriculture believe that In ninny
cases more grain Is fed to dairy cows
that can be Justified by the results In
milk and butterfat.
If your neighbor told you that his
cow, that had not eaten a pound of
grain for n whole year, produced 11,000
pounds more milk and 00 pounds more
butterfat than she ever did when fed
the regular grain and roughage ration
well, what would you believe. If your
neighbor told you that? Aud yet,
that has actually happened. At least,
that Is substantially the story that the
United States department of agricul
ture tells about Its Ilolsteln cow,
Helen Ullkje Calamity 14rS57.
Up to the time Helen wns eight
years old, she had always been fed
n grain, sllngc, and roughage ration,
and the best she had ever done was
11,778.2 pounds of milk and 3GS.3!)
pounds of butterfat. When she wns
eight years old, that bing In the
spring of 1918, it wne decided to feed
her no grain for u year. She lived
for n full 12 months on pasture, si
lage, and roughnge. And that year
she produced 1-1.210.1 pounds of milk
nnd 470.21 pounds of butterfat. The
experiment was carried out nt Hunt
ley, Mont.
A Revolutionary Cow.
Helen mny properly be referred to
as a revolutionary cow. Some other
cows, In cow-testing associations nnd
elsewhere, have shown similar tend
encies. And the result Is that tho
dairy specialists are urging dairymen
to seo If it is not possible to produce
milk nnd butter without feeding so
much grain as is commonly fed.
The basis of successful dairy feed
ing Is now said to be to feed the cows
on the stuff that the farm produces
Instead of buying n great deal of grain
nnd other concentrates. The dairy
man should plan his feeding nnd crop
growing to take care of the herd ho
has, Instead of buying as the need
arises for more feed. He should de
vote special attention to hnvlng the
right kind of pasture and the right
kind of rouchage. If he cannot grow
Che Produced More Milk Without
Grain Than With It.
fiilfnlfn, sny, he should seo what can
be done townrd growing soy beans or
cowppas or some other roughage crop
that will supply the protein needed.
Caring for Pasturo Pays.
In the old dnys, when a cow could
he fed on grain and roughoge at $5
or $0 a month, there was no great In
ducement to take enre of pastures.
Hut today It costs from $15 to $!H) a
month to feed n cow on grain nnd
roughage. Attention devoted to pas
ture, therefore, pays bigger dividends
thnn formerly. Dairymen used to fig
ure that they must get $15 n year
from every acre of land In pnsture,
nnd this mount that the acre luid to
pasturo a cow for three months. Now,
If the snme ucro pastures a cow only
one month, It produces Its $15. If it
pastures a row for three months It
Is producing $15 n year. And the
price of pasture land has not Increas
ed In that proportion. Therefore, ev
ery day that the cow Is kept on pas
ture means a saving of money to the
dairyman. It pays, nowadays, to take
care of the pastures. And It pays
equally well to take care of the rough
nge. Pasture, forage, silage these
things are tho essentials In dairy pro
duction. SOLVE WINTER EGG PROBLEM

(By OTIS nrctNKINQ, Colorado Apr!
cultural CoIIcko, Fort Colllna, Colo.)
Ho sure to disinfect your seed beds,
cold frames or hot house beds before
planting. The purpose Is to kill all
fungi which cause damping off, stem
rot, black rot, and other diseases,
Stcrlllr-atlon by heat In tho form of
steam Is the most effective; however,
tho formalin treatment may bo more
practical for the majority.
The formalin solution Is made up
by using 4 quarts of formalin (40 per
cent formaldehyde to 50 gallons (1
barrel) of water. Apply at the rato
of 3 quarts per square foot of ground.
One barrel, at this rate, will cover a
piece of ground one rod long by six
feet wide. Apply the solution grad
ually to the soil with a sprinkling pot.
It Is well to cover tho bed for 24 hours
with sacks disinfected In the formalin
solution.
Do not plant until the third or
fourth day after disinfecting, or until
the ground Is In a suitable condition.
This- will allow all formnlln fumes to
escape so that the seed and young
growing plants will not bo Injured.

SOIL FERTILITY IS LACKING
Many Unprofitable. Pastures Need Re.
seeding o'r Liberal Application
of Plant Food.
Many pnstures gradually prove un
prolltnble not from overgrazing or sea
sonable conditions but from lack of
soil fertility. This Is especially true
where cattle, sheep, etc., graze In an
open field and then ruu Into some
shady spot to rest, so conditions should
be carefully studied. In some cases It
will be found thut the pasturo need
resceding, though in many cases It
will be learned thnt It Is overgrazing
or lack of available fertility In the soil
that causes the decline, In which ease
removing the stock for a time If from
overgrazing or the application of the
necessary plant food If the latter will
prove profitable.
CONFINED' FOWLS NEED GRIT
Conditions In Winter Season Are
Vastly Different From Summer
When Hens Are Free.
When tho hens are running In the
field in summer they pick up and eat
small sharp pieces of gravel which
serve as grit to grind the fobd in tho
gizzard and keep tlio digestive organs
In good shape. When the hens are
mnilned to the houses during the win
ter 1 1 ley must have plenty of grit, and
the coinmerelal grit to lie given In
boxes nwl hoppers Is the best, because
tt Is the right size and Is sharp.
