LEGUMINOUS HAYS FOR COWS
One Final Pull Brought Him Through
a mile from the cave entrnnce, deep
In the bowels of the earth. An nt
tempt wns made by park rangers to
pull him through the hole, but his cries
were so terrifying ns the sharp stal
netltes scarified the skin of his lower
waist that his would-be rescuers were
forced to desist.
"The superintendent wns notified of
Brown's condition, nnd personally vis
Ited the cave. After thorough exam
lnatlon It was determined that It
would either be necessary to blast him
out with T. N. T.-or starve lm until
Jils waist measurement was reduced
sufllclently to enable his passngo
through Hell's Crack.
"Dosplte the Indignation of other
visitors, who were barred from the
beauties of Organ Loft, the Frozen
Cascade, the Marble Ginmber, etc., by
the rear portion of Brown, It wns
thought better not to blast him out,
as undoubtedly some Injury would re
sult to the delicate formation of the
cave.
"By the end of the third day his
waist measurement wns reduced 14
Inches, and one final pull by two park
rangers brought him through the hole
minus his pants and some skin.
"All prospective visitors to the Crys
lal Cave are now measured at the Ad
ministration building at Giant Forest,
und those whose waist measurements
are over 82' Inches are debarred from
the crystalline marvels of America's
most beautiful cavern."
Corn Silage Is Excellent Feed, but
Not a Dalanced One Legumes
Furnish Protein.
rrpa!t by th United Bute Department
01 AfNCUUUrO.I
The best' kinds of dry roilghnge for
feeding dnlry cows In connection with
corn silage or roots nro leguminous
hays, such as alfalfa, red, crimson, or
alslke clover, nnd soy bean or cow
pea liny, In the opinion of experts of
the United States Departs .'nt of Ag
riculture. While corn Bllngo Is nn ex
cellent feed, It Is not a balanced one.
ns It docs not contnln sufficient pro
tein and mineral mutter to meet fully
the requirements nf the cow. The
leguminous hays, in addition to be
ing very pnlatable, tend to correct
this deficiency. They are also among
the best and cheapest sources of
protein.
One or more of these hays can b
grown on practically any rnrm. in
addition to their value for feeding
purposes, they Improve the soil in
which they grow. Hay from Cnnnda
Held pens, sown with onts to prevent
the pens from lodging, also makes
fin excellent roughnge.
Corn stover, sorghum, etc.. also
Itnd a good market through tho dairy
ow. This class of roughage Is low
In protein, however, and when It Is
used the grain ration must bo richer
In this clement.
No positive rule can be laid down
us to the quantity of dry roughage
that Rhould be fed, but from 0 to 12
pounds n day for each cow, In addition
to silage, will be found satisfactory
In most cases.
When the dry roughnge Is of poor
quality, such as coarse, woody hay or
a poor grade of cornstalks, a large por
tion enn often be given to advantage,
allowing the cow to pick out tho best
and using the rejected part for bed
ding. With this qunntlty of dry rough

CATCHES DOG MILKING COW

Culprit.
Huntington, L. I. When your cow
suddenly fnlls in giving you the usual
pnll of milk In the morning, It Is time
to look around for the cnuse. This In
Just what happened with a Hunting
ton man recently.
His cow was a good producer, but
one morning when he went out ho
found that for some renson the supply
wns not ns good as usual. The eve
ning's milking showed the usual re
turns, but the following morning he
was again short.
Hot being satisfied that "all was well
In Denmnrk," he appeared on the
scene considerably earlier the follow

standing under the cow, qpjoylng a
feast. Needless. to say, thp dog was
fastened at night thereafter.

Is often more economical to limit

crease the grain ration.
RUNTY ANIMAL UNPROFITABLE
Undersized and Undeveloped Animals
Usually Caused by Improper
Care and Poor Feed.
Niggardly methods of feeding nnd
caring for farm live stock are un
profitable. This Is one conclusion re
sulting from nn Inquiry conducted by
the United States Department of Agrl-
culture Into tho causes and preven
tion of runtlness among fnrm nnl-
mnls. Seventy-flvo per cent of under
sized und undeveloped nnlmnls, ac
cording to- n summary of more than
700 opinions ndvunced by lht-stock
owners, are due to Inferior breeding,
Inadequate or unsuitable feed, and
pests, such ns parasites and Insects.
The remedy Is the better care of
better stock, and the cost of this
remedy, In the opinion of practical
farmers, Is much cheaper than the ex
pense of continuing to raise, under
sized nnd slow-maturing domestic
nnlmnls. "Better raise one good cow
thnn two poor ones n runt is nothing
but expense nil Its life." This opinion,
which Is typical of many others, Is
from a Michigan dairyman. A thrifty
New Englnnder sums up sentiment on
this topic with tho remurk, "I find I
cannot client the animal without
cheating myself."

HIGH-PRODUCING DAIRY COWS
To Increase Productiveness of Herd It
Is Necessary to Begin With
Individuals.
Increasing the productiveness of a
dairy herd through selection must be
gin with the Individual as u unit.
Cows with the best performance rec
ords lire mated to u bull backed by a
line of high-producing ancestors.
Even this will not guarantee offspring
equal to their purents In productive
ness, since the law of chuno operates
to make results uncortaln. However,
tho nvcrnge will be as good as their
parents' und some will exceed their
dnm's record. The best producers nre
further bred for further improvement.
