HELP OUT DAIRY COWS
When the pastures dry up in July,
August and September, anil the grass
becomes hard and unpalatable, stock
declines in condition and there is a
marked reduction in the amount of
milk given by dairy cows. Farmers
■who depend upon pastures alone al-
ways suffer from this cause, and
wonder that soiling crops are not more
generally frown. They are always
profitable. In answer to manyinquir-
ies regarding the succession of crops
grown, the results of many experi-
ments are given.
The New Jersey station has worked
on the problem for seven years. The
first crop harvested in the spring was
rye, usually ready for feeding May fst.
and lasted from 12 to 15 days. This,
of course was sown In the fall. Rye
may also be pastured. Wheat follow-
ing immediately after rye did not yield
as heavily, but remained succulent
longer and could be fed about May 15.
Alfalfa is ready for use about the mid-
dle of May. It Is cut just before
blooming. Broadcasting from 30 to 35
pounds of seed the last of April or the
ist of May on well prepared soil' with-
out a nurse crop gives generally the
best results. The average yield 'on a
single acre for five years was 19 1-2
tons of green forage produced at a
cost of $36.00
Valuable experiments were conduct-
ed by the Wisconsin station for sever-
al years, and "the following succession
was found to be most satisfactory:
Fall rye sowed September 10, ready for
cutting May 15th to June 1. Alfalfa
ready to cut June 1 tij 15. Red Clover
June 15 to 25. Peas and Oats, sowed
April 16, ready to cut June 25 to July
5. A second crop will run to July 15.
Oats sowed May 5, ready to cut July
15 to 25. Second crop of alfalfa ready
to cut July 15 to 30. Rape sowed May
25 ready to cut August 1 to 15. Flint
corn, sawed May 20, ready to ®cut
August 1 to 25. Sorghum, sown June 1
ready to cut September 10. Evergreen
sweet corn, sown May 31, ready to cut
September 25. Rape sown July
20, ready to cut September 25 to Octo-
ber 10.
This furnished green feed for ani-
mals from May 15 to October 10th and
proved Aiighly profitable. l^Mperiments
show that farmer's herds that depend
upon pasture alone show a marked
falling off in milk production from the
highest yield in June to almost the
lowest yield in August. The station
herd, fed on soiling crop, Showed its
highest milk production in April, where
it remained almost constant until June
after which it declined gradually and
reached its lowest point in October.
_ureful study of these two statements,
will show any farmer what he may be
able to do by the use of soiling crops.
Nearly all the crops grown in those
experiments were most palatable and
satisfactory when fed at or before full
bloom. When harvested either too.
green or too ripe, the forage lost much
of its palatability, and consequently
was not readily consumed.
Much greater yield and better quality
of forage was obtained by thick seed:
ing. This was especially the case
with the different kinds of corn and
sorghum and was also noticeable with
oats, peas, barley and rye. In New
York oats and Canada field peas, sown
together, made one of the most ser-
viceable in the succession of forage
crops.

Pe erless CreamtSeparator
Reasons why the Peerless is the Best
1st. Twice the capacity of any other bowl, That is
to say two times smaller than any other bowl, of
et|ual capacity.
"i'nd. Compound feature, two bowls in one, hollow
bowl, and disk bowl combining all the features in
^the tubular and disk machines.
.'ird. Knclosed frame. Free from dust. Injury re-
sulting from machine impossible-
*th. Perfectly noiseless. o
th. Heavy enough and strong enough to lift a
box car. which insures durability. °
nth. The bushings made of phosphor bron , the
most serviotable material for the purpose. Fitted
and guaranteed to be accurate to 1-2 to i-k0i of an
inch..,,
7th. Every journal bushed with brass 4>r phosphor
bronz. This fact together with the fine adjustment
disenbed $4>ove, accounts for the light draft ot the
PRKRI„ES>> machine. Kach bushing is made in du-
plicate ami interchangeable and if at ary time they
show \ftnr they can be replaced at a small cost.

SOME "DON'TS" ABOUT
CREAM SEPARATORS
We
"don't" ask you^o buy a DE LiAVAL machine simply
because the aiipply can is so "low down" that the rest of the
construction is entirely impractical.
We "don't" ask you to buy a I>E LAVAL machine simply
because it has a new "ball' top-bearing which as soon as the
balls begin to wear a little must prove a source of endless
trouble to you.
We "don't" ask you to pay $34.85 for a mere combination of
tin, cast iron and blue paint that will waste butter-fat every
time you put milk through it and the best thing about which is
that it can't last very long, and which will probably be worth
$1.85 for "scrap" when you are done with it.
L a LAVAL machines are sold upon a more serious and
substantial basis. They skim clean; have big capacity; have
the reserve efficiency to meet hard conditions; make the best
butter; run with least strain on the operator; are simplest to
handle and clean, and last tliree times longer than any other.
We made a "low down" supply can twenty years ago. Wte
used and abandoned the "ball" top-bearing fifteen years ago.
Our supply cans today are at just the right height in propor-
tion to the proper construction of a separator, while our "radial
spring" top-bearings are not used in imitating machines simply
because they cost much more than the various poorer sub-
stitutes.
And above all else DE LAVAL machines not only COST
LEAST in proportion to actual capacity and actual life but
what is very much more important they SAVE MOST, while
if any buyer is unable to take advantage of the cash discount
he can buy one on such liberal terms that it will actually pay
for itself out of its own savings.
A DE LAVAL catalogue that explains all of these things is
to be had for the asking.

Dincan. the owner of the fariti, is not
bothered by the farm-hand problem,
neither do frosts annoy him as all of his
winter weork is done under cover. Just
now an acre of spinach Is producing a
load a day. Other houses are set with
radishes, biets and lettuce, and from one
to four wagon loads of produce are sent
ti market daily. Tne average farmer's
work generally ends when frosts come,
but Duncan says the time will come
when farmers ^111 adopt modern methods
and people will have fresh vegetables
every day of the year.
The buyer may be fooled with oleo-
margerine for creamery butter, but a

FOUR CENTS MORE
FOR NO. 1 CREAM
THAN FOR NO. 2
The creameries of the country have become so convinced of the increased
value of thick cream over thin cream that many of them are paying a premium
on cream containing 30 per cent or more butter fat over that containing under
30 per cent.
, c. °'le of the largest buyers of cream in the West, the Hanford Produce Co..
of Sioux City, Iowa, issued in January the following statement to its cream shippers.
We are going to offer a premium of 4 Cents pep pound butterfat
for what we term No. i cream.
FIRST GRADE cream shall consist ot all hand separator0 cream
which is delivered at least twice a week in winter and three times per
week in summer, this cream to be delivered reasonably sweet and testing 30 Der
cent or more. °
GRADE cream shall consist of all hand separator cream
delivered 111 good condition not less than once a week or testing less than
30 per cent." 6
Undet these conditions creamery patrons should buy only the cream lepa-
Tator that can skim a heavy cream. The
UNITED STATES CREAM SEPARATOR
can skim a heavier cream than any other and do it without clogging. The
U. S. has the record of skimming a cream testing 65 per cent. And remem-
ber also that the U. S. holds the World's Record for clean skimming.
It get* the moat cream and will deliver am heavy a cream an you want.
Write for copy of our fine, new, 1906 separator catatogue. It tells why
]le U. S. can skim the lirst grade cream ; how it made the World's Record
or clean skimming and many other things you should know before you put aity
money into a cream separator. Write for a copy today—do ft now while you
tnink 01 it. Ask for catalogue No. 400 and we'll send it Quick.
