"Happy Medium" Is the name tie-
stowed by an Ohio Fanner writer on a

bis claims are by no means small, as
may lie seen from the following:
The points of stierlorlty which I
claim over any other system ere:
first, adaptability to the different soils

and yet avoid cutting or breaking

Hews mm4 Notes.
Plrty seed endangers the farm by
Introducing weed seeds. Low priced
Seed Is often poor seed, and It ia then
far more expensive than a blgb priced
good seed. The price of seed per
pound or bushel Is no accurate meos-
oxe of Its value. The true value Is
found by testing the sample and thus
determining the per cent of good seed

Under ordinary conditions the silo is
a practical uuil economical method of
preserving; fodder, but in Its coustruo
t t.it one should strive to reduce the

writes A. K. Harrett lu The American

or lose any of Its nourishing qualities.
Lenve the fodder eposd to the air,
and it drhn up. and with the evapora
tion of the moisture from It a good deal
of the uotirishlus elements will disap
pear also. If a small loophole is al
lowed In the silo, destructive fermen

checked only by shutting out the air.
Cracks and knotholes are therefore the
weak points In every silo, and more

of maturity. Chemical changes begin
in the silo shortly after the fodder Is

Cement Floor For Cew Stables.
We think the best floor for the stable
la a cement floor made nearly level, but
with a alight slope froji front to rear
and but a shallow gutter at the lower
side to carry away liquids to seme
point where they will discharge Into
the manure heap or Into a cistern pro
vided to receive them. We prefer the
former plan when practicable, says
The American Cultivator. Then for

Wtn the two Ineh Joist and two Inch
P'ank wp would have a drop of four
inches behind each animal, and the
length being Just right this would be
enough for purposes of cleanliness.
Thus we should have a plank floor for
the animals to stand npon and beneath
It a floor that would not absorb mois
ture or retain unpleasant odors, one
that we could sweep or even wash
when we desired and one that would
be likely If proerly made to outlast
many of the plank stall floors.
Irr redder.
When pasture is at its very best, we
would feed little or no grain, but add
gixsl hay. clover preferred. In Its place,
r-sjs Hoard's Pairyinan. We have long
advocated the feeding of some dry fod
der In ennneetion with pasture antl si
lage. This was done partly on theoret
ical grontids and partly because we
have noticed In otir own herd the crav-
,n of ,hp row for "m dry fodder
snd that they apparently did as well
when thus fed ss when they received
grsin. Our own opinions were very
fully confirmed by some accurate ex
periments made by professor Sanborn
In New Hampshire. Of course when
the pasture becomes short and dry It Is
expedient to add more or less grain,
and under the circumstances and the
prices given by our Missouri friend we
would use equal parts by weight of
brao and gluten feed, the amount to be
allowed dally to be governed by cir
cumstances. UNPROFITABLE FRAUD.

At the Dairy Institute st Springfield,
Mass., ProfesHor Cooley said:
The feed dis-s not affin-t the rlchnsa
of the nillk. You cannot telt by the
looks of milk lion- rich It Is.
We cannot afford to run cows on half
time.
To get high grade milk hrtmh the
cows before milking, and It Is advised
by many that the udders he clipped.
Manage to have the cow s come fresh,
so ss to maintain s uniform aunnlv
throughout the ymr.
It Is claimed that summer silage will
atop summer shrinkage.
Overalls should !. clean. Don't bavt
them stiffened with dairy starch.
Don't make a strainer do too much
work. Have a fresh one for every te
or a dozen cows.
Cool the milk snd keep It st a given
temperature.
'Care, cleanliness and cold are the
three "e's" of milk production.
The German dairymen have a stnll
which aooins nearly iierfcct. The plat
fores Is Just the right length for tho
cow, and behind It Is a deep ditch of
six or eight Inches, with a ledge part
way down, so that the cow In slipping
off does not slip clear to the bottom.
The cows soon learn to stand out of
the ditch and keep perfectly clean.
