Sot Various Fruit Traaa-

The proper ’ JiUutlng dlatance which to aet fruit free* needs careful attention. Prominent growers aet peach trees at l*a*t twenty feet apart Although some set the trees sixteen eighteen feet ttjiart. this has proved too rluse. Peach trees net at this distance cannot secure sufflclen* light plant food and luolsinre to develop properly and a good cover crop cannot be grown

under these condldona.

1-arrr growing varieties of apples, such ii* lialdwln. Stayman and Graven«leiu. are at the maximum dlatance of forty feet apart. In certain sections where these varieties grow smaller.

She went on test at two years and eleven monitis of age ana In StS days produced IttSSi.T pounds of milk, containing TtS.ST pounds of fat. This excecsls the record which was made by Lad's Lady Rlotreaa Irene, the former champion.

Oottonsecd meal, distillcn.' grains, brewers' grains and linseed meal are tba cbcai>est soorves of protein, mixture of com and cottonseed meal alone would uot lie a good ration, as It la too heavy—that Is. It forms a sticky mass In the stomach, which the digestive Juices cannot penetrate easily. Bran, dried beet pulp or brewers' grains are the best feeds we hare to lighten a ration. For this reason one of these is nearly always included lu the ration fed heavy milking eowa re qutrlng liberal grain feeding The most difficult question to decide this winter Is how liberally one can afford to feed dairy cows. As a gen era! rule, feeding a cow to neat her capacity Is the most economical. If the fanner goes to the expense of maintaining the cow it is not economy fan to make use of her productive capacity. A good rule for prai tli-ai feeding is to give the cow os much roughago, silage and legume liny as she will eat clean, then feed In addition one pound of grain to each three pounds of milk for u Jersey and one pound of grain for each four pouuda of i-iilk

from a Holstein.

A dairy eow should I* 1 in good condition at time of calving. The amo milk site gives whin fresh usually sbow* her capacity. Rbe should he fed enough to nipiiurt this milk production. A cow that dues uot havttbe luliorllnmv to g'.e more tiutn twenty lunuds of . II . daily cannot be made to give forty by lilicral grain feeding. However, the cow that slurU giving forty iMaimls will not conllnue to do so long unless sufficient fe.-d b given to furnish the raw mateiiul foi

this much product.

It is not economy to feed all cows the same amount of grain. They ahoulu lie fed In accordance w ith their production. A beav grain ration given a light milking cow fattens her. but docs not increase her milk beyond

ber ordinary limit.

HANDLING INCUBATORS TO GET GOOD RESULTS

if spring "fries'* and fall egg* are desired the incubator ahould lie set the first or second week In February, giving * hatch lbe early jiart of March, according to T. R. Townsley. instructor in poultry husbandry In Kansas Agri

cultural college.

The main purpoees of an early batch s to allow the pullets ample time mature before cold weather. If they do uot do this they will not lay until the following spring. CockeM* batch, ed In March will te ready to sell when the market for fries Is good. The eafty baiched chicks will be large enough to he turned out on the grot-od by the lime grass and other plants have start ed to grow and will thus get the advantage of the green feed.
