increased area for the production of this

You are quite right; there can be no 
satisfactory substitute for corn. Perhaps 
some such variety as Luce’s Favorite, 
which is a cross between dent and flint 
corn, would be right for your conditions 
and it might ripen in your district. ' 
Your plan for taking care of the pigs 
I also has merit. I would d<> exactly as 
yon have indicated, although I would not 
use rape alone, but rather a mixture of 
rape, oats, and Soy beans, in the propor¬ 
tion of a bushel of oats, a bushel of Soy 
beans, and five pounds of Dwarf Essex 
rape. I would also put in four or live 
pounds of Dwarf Essex rape in the mix¬ 
ture of barley and field peas. If you 
intend to hog off the corn, T have reason 
to believe that you would secure a larger 
yield per acre by drilling in the com and 
Soy beans rather than checking them in, 
for it would facilitate cultivation and you 
would get a larger yield per acre. 
You will find that oats and Canada 
field peas would make most excellent 
forage for your horses during the idle | 
; months of Winter and likewise that the 
cows will relish this roughage. By being 
I able to harvest some corn to supplement 
the silage which, together with the Soy 
bean hay and the ground buckwheat, will 
make almost a balanced ration for your 
dairy cows, the addition perhaps of some 
gluten or cottonseed meal would be all 
that is necessary. 
You have not indicated in any of your 
rotations as to just when the areas would 
be seeded with clover or a meadow mix¬ 
ture This could be done in the Spring ‘ 
wherever oats and Canada field peas are 
included, and it might save one plowing 
of the land. Oats and peas make a 
splendid erop to precede seeding the grass 
where it is desired to make a Fall seed¬ 
ing. You will find buckwheat very useful 
in your ration for chickens. I think Soy 
bean meal has been used with only limited 
success with poultry. 
A Dastardly Outrage 
“Morristown, N. J.. April 24.—A vigi¬ 
lance committee has been organized at 
M'endham in consemience of depredations 
at the farm of William Howell in Mend- 
ham Township last Friday night. Charles 
R. Whitehead is the head of the commit¬ 
tee, and with him on an executive com¬ 
mittee an Samuel IT. Nesbit and Charles 
T.. Lade. Friday night someone went to 
the barn of Mr. Howell and took four 
ewes and seven lambs. Some of them 
were killed in the barnyard and one ewe, 
with its throat cut. was left behind. A 
trail of blood led from the barn across 
a field to the road, where it is probable an 
automobile had been left. The new com¬ 
mittee will undertake to run down the 
thieves.” 
You will see b> rhe above clipping what 
happened to our little flock of sheep. Our 
farm is not very well adapted to cultiva¬ 
tion. and we fire not much of farmers. 
Wo keep cows, sheep and poultry, nml 
have tried to improve them all. We 
began in 1fl07 with one small grade Jer¬ 
sey cow. We bought another, which met 
with an accident shortly after and broke 
her neck. With the exception of one 
calf which we are raising now, all our 
cows sprang from that little Jersey, and 
we now have some nice ones. This was 
brought about by using purebred Guern¬ 
sey bulls.' We keep <50 liens until July 
or August, when we sell .‘10; (lien we 
only have that number until our 550 pul¬ 
lets commence laying. In 1013 they laid 
1.805 eggs during the year; in 1014. 
2.072; in 1017 they laid 0,550 eggs and 
last year 7,470, and to date they are 400 
ahead of last year. I do not know very 
much about cows, poultry or sheep, hut 
T enjoy reading Tin*: R. N -Y. and get 
unite a good many points from time to 
time. The sheep T like the best, in fact 
1 am very fond of them.; they 
nearly as stupid as many think. 
We used to have some troubl 
Spring, about April or before, 
watching them closely have overcome that. 
T took especial care of them last Winter, 
and the lambs were the best we ever had. 
M lieu tin little fellows saw me coming 
with their feed night and morning they 
would all march in their creep and 
staud around their trough all ready for it. 
1 \ e had a lew I lorsets ami the rest were 
grade I toisets; the lambs are white and 
very pretty. You can imagine my feel¬ 
ings when I went to the barn at half past 
three in the morning and found the vard 
swimming in blood. I could hardly' be¬ 
lieve my eyes. There is a notice in our 
office asking farmers to raise more sheep, 
and we had intended adding to our flock 
this Fall, but now I feel like selling out 
and going somewhere where there is at 
least some protection for life and prop¬ 
erty. There is money for stocking trout 
streams, money for raising pheasants, 
salaries for game wardens, but not a cent 
to protect the people. wji, howell.

is the best in the belief of many dairymen. Its sales are 
growing by tons every day though it is comparatively new. 
The reason for its success lies in its readiness. 
It is a complete ration, requires no mixing, con¬ 
tains the best known milk - making ingredients 
with all other essentials for maintaining the 
cow in perfect condition. Its profit to you lies 
in the saving of grain and the increase in 
milk flow that its use insures.
