DRY COW FEEDING IS BIG PROBLEM (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Aphids, or pluut lice, which often do serious injury t the plants they t Condition of Individual Ani- mal Governs Ration. Itutions and feeding practices suitable for dry cows depend somewhat on the condition of such cows at the close of their lactation periods, io the process of selection and breeding, a great many cows are so persistent In producing large quantities of milk that It Is practically impossible to keep them in good flesh during the entire lactation period. This means that they are in poor condition at the close of the lactation period. Practical dairymen are agreed that such cows must have form six to eight weeks of rest following each lactation if they are to produce large quantities of milk-yea-r after year. The feeding of such cows during the dry period should he such ns to enable them to regain the Josses sustained In the previous lactation and before the onset of the of the succeeding lactation. The same principle of management ts recommended for cows not capable of producing as much but In less degree, says Hoards Dairyman. No special ration is needed for dry cows. As In making rations for cows In milk, the roughage to be fed Is the basis on which to compound grain mixtures. The condition of the Individual cows governs the amount of grain to be fed. The needs of dry cows on good pasture are very easily met by a simple mixture composed of 300 pounds ground corn or ground barley or hominy feed, 300 pounds ground oats, 200 pounds bran, and 101 pounds linseed meal or cottonseed meal, or a mixed feed containing 30 per cent of digestible protein. In winter feeding with silage and alfalfa hay available the addition of fiO pounds of the high protein feed to thq mixture given Is satisfactory. For silage and other legume hay add 100 pounds more of one of the high protein feeds. Silage and mixed hay should have the protein content of the grain mixture still further increased by the additiou of 73 pounds high protein feed to the amount given for silage and legume hay, the total amount being 273 pounds.

Inflammation In the udder is often caused by exposure to drafts. This may develop and encourage garget, a contagious disease which, if not checked, may spread to other members of the herd, cutting milk production sharply. It may also cause the loss of quarters of udders which become badly infected. Two or three years ago I visited a herd where a splendid cow was suffering from garget. Her stall was located near a window and a few days ..before she freshened one of the win-- , (low panes had been broken. A cold cast wind blew in on the cow all night with the result that a little swelling developed in the udder and some thick milk came from two quarters a few days later. Garget set In and after some time one quarter ceased to yield any milk and the other was not normal. The next time this cow freshened she was sold for beef.

Tbe field had recently had a crop of clover and was considered to be average corn land for that section of Wisconsin. Prof. E. Truogg, of the University of Wisconsin, says there is a real need for the determination of the right time and method of application of fertilizers. In further studies of the way to distribute fertilizers, the manufacturers of farm machines and fertilizer companies and representatives of the experiment stations are on a plan to study the proper methods of application and distribution of fertilizers. The project has a Importance and Is being watched with a great deal of Interest by farmers and agronomists all over the country.

In Japan, they don't quite do this, but many farmers keeping one or two cows have a silo. The department of agriculture of Japan, reported in 11)23, 4,381 silos of less than five tons each. Now a cow needs about four tons of silage per year so these less silos could be classified as Individual silos, or one cow silos. Another thing of Interest concerning the silos of Japan is the fuel that the vines of sweet potatoes come next to corn in material used for (illing. All kinds of green, succulent forage and material grown on the farm are cut up and put into the silo where it is preserved and fed out during the winter season. Silos are making rapid progress In Japan according to the report, and are being widely used by the stock keepers. infest, have a curious life history, which Dr. P. V. Mason of the bureau of entomology describes in the 1928 Yearbook of the United States Department of Agriculture, issued recently. If we examine a branch of a tree or other plant which is Infested," says Doctor Mason, we will see the aphids, In most species grouped together in colonies, usually either on the under side of a leaf or along a twig. They may be greenish, brownish, black, or of other color, depending on the species, or even covered with a mealy powder or long waxlike filaments. Unusual Life History. "These insects have a very unusual life history; one differing from those of almost all other insects. The egg is laid in the fall of the year, usually on the bark of the twig. With the coming of warm weather in the spring this egg hatches into what is known as the stem mother. There are no males until the next fall. The stem mother gives birth to living young, without the necessity of fertilization. These young are all fe males, and, when mature, give birth to other living young. This continues throughout the summer, there being numerous generations. In each generation there are usually some which are winged and others which are wingless, each form being fully mature. As the spring advances the number of winged forms increases, until, in tiie case of many species, they fly away to on entirely different kind of plant. Plants so chosen are known as summer hosts ; on them new colonies are started, and there may be several generations on them before the return migration to the winter host On the latter tbe true sexes which have been produced mate and the eggs are laid. Forms of Aphids. Thus we see that there are several forms of aphids, such as the stem mother, the wingless viviparous female, the winged viviparous female, the mule, and the female. These may vary considerably from each other lu appearance and have often been described as distinct species. Raymond M. and Leroy M. Anderson, twin sons of Mrs. Laura M.
