Sometimes it takes quite a whack
over tho head to get our attention,
it is so with the man who scrimps
his cows on feed, thinking that by
doing so he is saving money. First ho
knowst down goes tho quantity of
milk, and worse than that, the test
slips back. Then he finds that he has
fooled h!m« elf. Instead of fooling tho
• cow. Nobody ever fooled a cow that
way very long.
One of otir most successful dairy-
men here in this part of New York
says he can make dairying pay good
returns when he can grow and mar-
ket his ^otatops for enough cash to
pay aTl of his feed bills. Ho is mak-

To the TCditor: There are a num-

have filled their silos with whole corn
with perfect success for many years.

first with butts out, the next with
tops out, alternating all the way up.
Every second or third course put
an extra bundle or two along tho
edges against the outside, and tramp
down tho corn all the time. Be par-
ticular about keeping the edges well
filled. After corn is all in some of
them pour five or six barrels of water
over the top.

RESEEDING GRASS LANDS.
Tho maintenance of pasture and
meadow lands is of the greatest Im-
portance, for it is no easy job to get
a field so well set that It yill yield
the maximum amount of grass for
several years in succession. Some
wonder why we have so much more
trouble now in keeping up a good
stand, than we did several years ago.
The whole trouble comes in not re-
ceding. We cut most of our grasses
now before the seeds become ripe
enought to shatter, and for this rea
son no fresh seed falls upon the
ground, unless sown by hand. Tho
earlier practice of cutting timothy
was to wait until the seeds were
practically mature. I have seen
farmers go so far as to make tight
bottoms to their wagon racks, and
gather up the seed every noon and
night. Of course, when grass was
cut at this stage, sufficient seed shat-
tered to cover tfie field. No doubt
the stage we now mow timothy,
right after the blossoms fall ,ig best
both as to the quality of the hay
. and also the condition In which it

weather, but when the crop is cut
before any seeds shatter, reseeding

CHERYMEN
USE
Today over 98 per cent of the world's creamcries use DE L.AVAL
separators. This fact means much to every cow owner. Without the
separator creamery operation would be almost impossible. No
matter whether the creamery is buying whole milk or cream its
success rests upon tho centrifugal cream separator. Those who are
buying whole milk skim it at ths factory with UE LA.VAL Power
machines—those who are buying cream adviss their patrons to
purchase DE LAVAL Hand machin s. The biggest and most suc-
cessful creamery company in the world is buying cream fr om more
than 40,IK>0 patrons to whom it hassoldDE LAVAL Hand machines,
after many yeari of experience with all kinds of separators. Had
the DE LAVAL n- t been the bast and by far the mist profitable
separator for anj ane owning two or more cows, this great cream-
ery would neveT have tiken the rcponsibility of placing them with
its patrons. And this is true in hundreds of other instances, for cresm-
eries can be found in every part of the world having from a few
hundred to many thousands DE LA VAX. patrons Wouldri t it pay
you to fi >d out why experienced crcamerymen prefer the DE LAV AL
to other separators? You n«y learn the reason by asking tor a
DE LAVAL catalog, or better still u DEIWAL machine—to ex-
amine and try out at your own h >uie free of Jill expense. Don t
wait, but write us today.

CLEANING THE KITCHEN FOR FALL
O, thewoebegoness of a dark, dreary

wants everything bright and pleasant

summer, and that waa a Rood Idea,
though no woman wants the cold floor
covering: for the latter part of the year.
Select a good warm carpet, a cheap one

you paper, seloct something of a sun-
shine tint, or have a pretty blue Paint

less after the tree is well in leaf than
from wounds made during winter and
spring. This difference is more notice-
able in maptes, elms and mulW;rries than
other species under observatios.
