Succulent feed g in the ration 'of

importance that mano crepe •not
grown primarily for this purpose may
miter into the ration. Cebbege, and
potatoes, though not OnerallY grown
for dairy feeds, are often fed to deiry
cewe as a means of .supplying suc-
culence and disposing ecenomicatly of
products that are othervviee unmarkete
able.
Like other seceulent feeds, cabbage,
and potatoes may have a tendency te
impart undeeireble flavors and odors
to the rnilk"if fed under certain con-
ditions. Tests have, bon coeducted to
determine the extent to which these
crops affect the gayer of milk and
how they may be fed and 'themil
handted so as to minimize such effect.
It was found that on the average,
when dairy cows. consume as neaoh as
14.3 pounds bf cabbage within one
hour before milicingetime, abnormal
and objectionable flavors are produced
in the milk. An increase in the ain-
°Ant of eabba e fed inteneifiee these
flavors. .An average of 25 pounds of
cabbage may be consumed immediately
after milking, .however, without aey
objectionable flavors in the Milk be-
coming noticeable. Some of these fla-
vors . may be eliminated by proper
• aeration of the milk, and others great-
ly reduced.

the milk is only slight:y tedated, prob-
ably not to a eafficient extent to be

is noticeable. Feeding 80 pounds of
green alfalfa one hour before milking,
or as lFttii as 10 peunds, produced
objectionable flavors and odors. 1.-
crasing the time to three hours re-
duced the intensity, but did not elim-
inate the taints. However, when the
tirne before milking was increased to
five hours the "ofr" flavors and odors
were practically elimineted. It was
foiled aldo that 80 pounds cotild be
fed, immediately after milking with-
out any bad effect, The conclusion is
that green alfalfa as a. soiling crop
should be fed immediately after milk-
ing, and that when it is used as pas-
ture the cattle should be taken off
four lor five hours before milking.
Aeration will help to remove slight
"ofr" odors and flavors. Green corn,
at least up te 25 pounds at a feed,
may be fed at any time.

t Finally, he shows how, in face of
the invisible. and desperately., subtle
powers of evil in theworld, every
Christian must serve like a soldier at
hip post, wearing his spiritual. arneer,
not carelessly thrkwing it aside as we
are tempted to do. He describes what
that armor is, and so we have the fa-
miliar and „beloved picture of the
Christian solcliee, unit of the Church
watching at his post. The
reader will remember how Gideon of
old was comina.nded to select for ser-
vice enter those soldiers who were vigi-
lant, arid who kept grasping their
armor, ,Judges ch. 7. The apostle's
thought is, that in a world full of
spiritual temptations the Christian
ought always to be atehis best.

Plow Thoroughly.
Last fall, owing to the very dry
weather, it was difficult to plow corn
stubble well,' and consequently many
corn borers were able to survive in
the uncovered stubble and corn rem-
nants. This fall the soil is in excel-
lent condition for snaking a perfeet
job of the plowing; hence it is hoped
that the farmers generally will take
• advantage of this fact and do their
best not to leave a single stubble,
weed or piece of corn on the surface
in the can field, A good way to
accomplish this is to use a wide fur:
row plow with a wheel and run the
last furrow before the stubble row as
close to the stubble as possible and a
little deeper than usual. Then on the
next round the stubble can be thrown
flat into the furrow and thus buried
completely, so says Prof. L. Cmsar,
Entomologist.
Fortueately in most of the infested
counties very little of the corn has
been broken down by storms so that
it has been possitle to cut it low, the
tower the cutting the easier it is to
bury the stubble completely. If by
any chance stubble has been left high
and is to be plowed this fall it will
be almost essential for successful
work to run a plow shallowly under
the roots first to throw the stubble
out. Then harrow it over to level it
and then plow it at least six inches
deep and better seven.
The way good plowing kills the bor-
er is that the stubbles, when turned
down, heeonle soggy and uncomfort-
able so that the borers are unable
to live in them and come to the sur-
face. Here they search for -unburied
stubble, weeds or corn remnants to
make a home in. If they cannot find
these they perish, either from being
eaten by birds, ants, or ground beetles,
or from weeks of exposure to weather.
The natural habitat of the 'borers is
above ground, not below.

then make a thorough job of the

feed sugar syrttp for winter, inverted
ten lb. honey pails with fine perfora-
tions in the covers are the best feed-
ers to use. If these are not available,
however, Mason fruit jars with, screw
tops and two thicknesses of cheese-
cloth used in place of the solid top
will answer the purpose, These feed-
ers are placed inside an empty hive -
body and are index -tea directly on top
of the brood' frames with a bag or
quilt over the feeders to retain the
heat while they are on the colony. The
feeding is .best done in the evening
and the entrance of the colony should
be reduced by at least one-half. The
best time to feed is any time after
Oct. 15th and a good colony will take
down 30 to 40 lbs. of syrup in one
night, if so much is needed. The syrup
is beet made of any white granulated
sugar, two poets of sugar to one of
water, by measure or weight If these
proportions are fairly exact and
every granule of sugar thoroughly
dissolved by placing it in hot water
and constant stirring, there wit' be
little granulation of the syrup after-
wards. If the above directions are
followed, the colony will not only be
in good shape for winter but should
not require any more attention., so
far as the food is concerned, until May
of next year.

Disposal of Surplus Corn.
This year a large number of farm-
ers will have considerable corn, left
over after filling or even re-filliog
their silos. The disposal of this will
have an important bearing upon the
control of the corn borer. If it is
not handled in soirie way by which the
borers will be killed it will serve as
a dangerous source of these insects
next year, so says Prof. L. Csar,
Provincial Entomologist. 'We- should.
advise that all such corn be cut low'
and either stalked and then when the
stooks have dried out burned, or else
that it be hauled out of the field from
time to time and fed to the cattle be-
fore using the corn that was in the .
silo or to supplement this, and that
whatever uneaten remnants there are
to be gathered together and burned
when dry. Another method is to run
all through a shredder or cutting box,
feed as much of this as is wanted,
throw the rest into the manure early
so that it will all be rotted by spring
and then next spring let it be plowed
down.
Unless it is first shredded or run
through the cutting box do not let it
GET THE HABIT
OF LAYING BY
g--......
Once more the season is at hand
for laying by supplies for the winter.
This applies chiefly to farmers, as
now -a -days in city homes very little
food is stored for the -cold seasons.
But it has been rather definitely ascer-
tained that the average fanner se-
cures about a third of his living ex-
penses from the fame
• This amount varies, however, Some-
times it is less dnan, a fifth of the liv-
ing tests. This habit of not using the
things we grow, is poor economy. In
a recent study of farm family expendi-
ture s it -was learned that the city re-
tail value of the products the farm
provides is more than double the farm
value. If, therefore, one eipects- to
sell his products and go to the city
, stores to replenish his supplies !roan
time to time, he is bound to suffer
efirtanchtily-a thing which no farmer
I can afford, however well he may be
prospering.
Then, too, securing one's living from
the farm ives a feeling of stability
and safety. He not only can cut costs,
but he has a feeling that, if necessary,
he can get by during' the lean yeare
-years that would prove hazardous
if, he were obliged to go to the mar-
kets for all of his suppties. Therefore,
the habit should be formed so that,
even in times of prosperity, the farm-
er would constantly seek to lay by the
highest possible percentage of his liv-
ing from the farm.
The Best Pay Best.
There are always some extra good
points to be picked out of the weekly
market reports of the Market Intelli-
gence Service of the Dominion Live
Stock Branch. Take that for the
week ending October 8th for instance.
Froin Toronto the oft -told tale of lack
of quality is once rnore reported. It
says: "The same complaints ruled
again this week; lack of quality.
Killers were ready enough to take
finished steers and heifers at from
$6.25 to $7, but were not keen for the
medium to common grades." From
Montreal cornes the news that about
5,000 of the best lambs were shipped
during the week to Toronto and Buf-
falo. From Winnipeg we learn than
there was over two doliars margin
between good and common calves.
