half the grain ordinarily fed in a
ration composed of grain, mixed hay

At the Copenhagen station very ex-
tensive trials go to show that one
,,M�and of concentrates in the form of
train, bran and oil cake is equal to
ten pounds of mangels; also that for
cows one pound of dry matter in roots
is equal in feeding value to one pound
of Indian corn, mixed grains, or three-
fourths pound of cottonseed meal. It
was also shown that the water con-
tent of the milk was not increased by
the liberal feeding of roots.
The results of tests quoted above are
not exactly uniform, yet they all point
to one thing -namely, that for dairy
cows the dry matter of roots is not
materially different in feeding value
from the dry matter in other foods.

As a rule, if the fowls are eve

ent of the National Stockman. But the
reason that the eggs hatch best then
is not because 1t is the natural breed- In the first place, it may be noted

ALFALFA SEED PEST.
Resembles Gnat, but Is Much Moro
Dangerous.
[prepared by United States department of
agriculture.]
The alfalfa seed destroyer, known
as the chalcis fly, does its destructive
work in clover or alfalfa seeds, from
the gulf coast to the northern limits
of the United States, according to the
United States department of agricul-
ture's specialist, who has personally
seen the 'widespread devastations of
this pest. 13y harvesting severely in-
fested crops, by cleaning fence lines
and ditch banks, and by winter culti-
vation the grower of alfalfa seed may
help to control this insect.
The chalcis fly under the microscope
is a formidable looking insect, but
when seen in the field it is frequently
confused with the gnat. These pests
may be seen in great numbers flying
over alfalfa seed sbocks and swarm-
ing over the sickle bar when the alfal-
fa is being cut. The eggs are so small
as to be invisible to the naked eye and
are deposited through the soft, green
seed pods directly into the soft seeds
when the pods are about half grown.
Immediately upon becoming a fly the
insect eats its way out through the
shells of the infested seeds,, then
through the green pods. Large por-
tions of the seeds are hollowed out in
this manner, when they are still green
and growing.
The infested seeds which still contain
the living larvae of the insect may be
recognized by their abnormal . shape
and usually by the dull brown color.
Some of the infested seeds, however,
retain their natural color, but they al-
ways lack the glossy appearance of
normal seeds. The extent to which al.
Yalta seed is damaged by the fly is not
generally apparentt, owing to the mi-
nuteness of the insect and because its
destructive work is accomplished with-
in the growing seeds. The alfalfa seed
grower can only estimate the percent-
age of his crop destroyed by opening a
large number of seed pods and observ-
ing the infested seeds.
An alfalfa field is frequently found
with such a severe infestation by chal-
cis flies that the grower considers it of
insufficient valve to be harvested and
simply drives in a herd of cows to pas-
ture the crop. With regard to the con-
trol of the chalcis fly for the protection
of future seed production, this is a
costly mistake. Observations show
that many of the pods burst open,
while others are trampled to the
ground. Here great numbers of infest -
per acre from corn, Ohio 3,000 pounds ed seeds offer favorable conditions for
the hibernation of the chalcis fly ler-

uoth rods and steel blades to the shop
and have four holes punched In each
blade. Then have four more holes
punched in the rods to fit twenty pen-
ny nails, but have them on the other
side, so you can bolt the blades to the
rods and then the rods to the roller. To
make the shafts, take the crosspiece
out of some old wagon shafts and cut
same number in each rod, so the holes
in the rods will fit those in the blades.
Get two Iron rods about a foot long
and large enough to go through the
hole in the end of the shafts. Drive
into the roller, fastening the shafts to
the roller, and by the time the rod has
been driven in eight inches it will be
abraded enough to stay in and hold the
shafts solid. For a seat use a 2 by 4
crosspiece on the shafts at the crook.
Behind the crosspiece or singletree bolt
another piece of 2 by 4 abort three feet
long. Let this reach back over the
roller and to it nail your sent. You can
sit on the seat and brace your feet
against the crosspiece to which it is
bolted.

The Ohio, Pennsylvania and Ver-

duction. The following, taken from
Feeds and Feeding, shows results from
these. trials:
Milk from a hundred pounds of dry
'natter in corn silage and root rations:
Ohio station, 1889, root ration gave
59 pounds of milk, silage ration gave
62 pounds of milk; Ohio station. 1390,
