*"l.t is Just -as important and as humane a -'leed to give sufficient water

He pays less attention to his trees

for a brief period in the evening
does not Kelp the, trees, Mir.. "Davey
explains. In >fa*t it may b*;rm them ■
by attracting tlhe roots too close to '■
the -surf-ac?, -of the ground. An effective way, he said1, is to- planfiorate the
soil beneath the -spread, of the tree
witih a spading fork to a. dlepth df
8 inches. Waiter should be run into
these holes .once every two week?; <*er*
pending upon the amount of rainfall.
The importance of water to a tee is
evL- enced, he says, by the faict that an
average sized tlrse with a spread of
50 feet? of fciliage, under normal tcon.-
diticais^. thrtovs off 5 banrels of water
a. day in the ifaran* of vapor. This

FLIES NOT TO RLAME
FOR LOW MtILK FLOW
Oried Up Pastures and Short Rations
Held Responsible For Summer
Decline in Production.
Flics and hot weatheir, generally
bfaimed for all- falling off in produc-
tjitm. of dairy cows in the summer
months, are largely exonerated, by
Prof. O. E. Reed, of the Michigan
Statte college in a statement just given out on keeping up the milk flow.
Underfcjedjing is namel. by Reed as
the pMimairy re-aton for summcir decline in milk flow. Tests have shown
that fles, ,i.n spite of the discomfoit
caused thie animals, are not th© most
important factors in controlling
Production.
""The average cow usually .suffers
more Urom underfeeriimg during the
winter," says Profe)st»r Reed. "During the first few weeks when cows
are turned to pasture, the milk will
usually .inalrease^ but as the grass
matures and hot, dry weather comes
on. there are ti-m'-s whan the cows
actually suffer from lack of food.
Scanty ratifons always result in decline in milk flow.
"Mc're attention should be given to
the coindition of. the pastures durilng
thi! season "an effort should be made
to provide a sufficient amount of feed
to 'insure the maximum _pr"od,uiction of
milk a.t the lowest possible cost.
"Perhaps tha best way to supplfet*.
meant the native pssture ,is to provide
tenxoarany, i>aistiiiii*e. sudb as sweot
clover. Aillfalfa will also make an
ox-cellsnt pasture if properly handled. Otihen* crops have been, used with
good results. Heavy producing cows
should receive some grain regardless
of how good the pasture might be.
because they can not consume enough
grass to obta'in the nutrients they
require."
