iirasss silage For Dairy cattle-

OTTAWA. June 12. 1060 - A cow producing upwards of 3! pounds of milk per day can eat enough grass to supply all her needs. provided the grass is available. It is the ion! period of ham feeding that takes the Joy out of dairyinl. If PIIWT0 could be transplanted into the barn for the winter a considerable saving in food costs would result. But well made grass silage will give almost the same result states J. S. lseefe. senior Agronomist. Experimental station. Kentvllle. N. 3.

Grass silage made from grass leg- uma mixtures. cut from eight to twelve inches high. will be close to the original herbage in feeding val- ue. It will be superior to the best field cured hay made born the same

- material.

Grass silage can be made in up- right or trench silos and from long or chopped grass. The coat of harv- esting and storing should not be greater than that of harvesting and

matter as hay. Ivory dairy farmer should mako and food some grass silage. Besides being excellent food, it is a ."must" in any sound nau- iand program. Grace for silage can be out early while it is most nutrit-

This bird is usually called the Butcher-bird, from its custom of impaling insects. and even small birds. on the thorns near its abid- ing place;.the popular mind sees in this custom a rucmblance to that of the butcher in displaying his stock in trade. Various interpreta- tions have been placed on the act. There is a streak of cruelty in this bird. say some: others commend the act as laying up a store "for a rainy day". Perhaps the custom arises from the Shrike having a hawk's bill and sparrow's feet: it cannot hold its prey, not having ialons. and must impale it before tearing it.

"The Butcher-bird (Lanius boi'e- alis)". says Bain. "is an ash-colored bird with black wings and tall, the also of a Robin. when insects fall. it feeds on weaker members of the feathered family. It has the curloizi habit of lmpaling its victims on i thorn or painted spray. Even in sects are hung up in this way as a butcher hangs up his meat.

"This bold brigand is but sei- dam seen here. Only in autumn have we observed his solitary gray farm. with the wary, suspicious flight of a felon, sweep our partly forsaken fields."

In New Brunswick, this Shrike is a "winter visitor, rare to ioleirably common". It nests in the northern regions of Canada. and like the Snowy Owl and many other north- orn creatures. moves south when it

The game to some extent. resembled the modern bayonet practice. The Northum- brian lads, after schooldays used to try out these contests. ancient and modern, but they passed up the quarter-staff, for some unknown reason. .

It was different with single- stick: they liked and practiced that. The weapon was a stout ash rod passing through a woven basket- like hilt: a regular wooden clay- more. The practice was based on the cutlass drill of the Royal Navy, and this doubtless was the reason for the popularity of single-stick.

We were thrown on our own re- ources in those days: there were :0 boys' camps to direct our activi- .lcs. but we managed to form a ;roup to practice this kind of fenc- ing. In the spring before the ground was ready for cricket. a dozen or so of us lads met in in. woodland clear- ing to play single-stick. Two of the group were selected as combatants. The rest sat around to advise. to applaud, or merely to make satiri-

cal remarks! Meanwhile. the adver-

sarics saluted each other with their "swords," came to the "engage" position, and the fight was on. Mon- ey was scarce, so our heroes fought without masks, plastrons, or any

defensive armour. The heroes con- sequently boasted many "honorable scars" -black and blue marks that lasted for several days!

Technically. there were five "cuts" (slashes) and two "points" or thrusts. Against these assaults there were five "guar " and two "par- ries". The points were the more dan- grous, so they were never used against beginners. (There was a lesson in this: if molested we were not to strike at the rufflan's head (which he would instinctively guard). but to give him "point one” in the stomach with our staff or walking-cane. This unexpected blow would end the fight.)

Single-stick was capital exercise for every muscle, save those of the left arm, which was held across the back. "out of the way". Each man watched his opponent's eye. to judge of his intentions, and there were vwrlous little tricks to score off against beginners. . Single-stick, though not as graceful as rapier- foncillg, was perhaps more suitable to the rough-and-tumble Saxons of Northern England.

ISLAND SUENAMES

I have often wondered how and where the surname Gotcllltook its rise. In the Journal of the Ameri- can Oriental society, Dec. 1921. there is an article on the ancient Mongols, written by Richard Got- hell. That is evidently the correct form and is the German. "Got- heil". I do not attempt to trans- late this, for my German is very sketchy! Perhaps some reader will oblige with the meaning.

Another Island surname is Power.

As mink breeding is becoming here, we are paying greater at- more and more of an industry t tion' to obtaining articles of worthwhile value and we are for- tunate in obtaining an authoritative release on "Critical Factors Affect- ing Mink Breodlng and Housing". by Dr. E. Raendle Bowness "Man reaches maturity in 21 years -Mink in seven months. Each day in a kit's life corresponds to 30 days in a child's. Thus in 10 days 3 Mink kit crowds in as much de- velopment and growth as a child does in one year. In, view of the foregoing statement, we can afford few errors in the day to day man- agement of the growing kits. The most common error is the belief that we can buy some highly rec- ommended and probably quite ex- cellent articlo of diet. feed it to the Mink and secure the best in growth and in eventual fur devel- opment. The , suit of such be- liefs has brought grief to many ranchers. In the business of de- veloping strong. healthy and fast growing youngsters, many things play many parts.

1..

The business of raising market- able pelts of top-quality is a com- posite of many factors all perform- ed in the best manner. Good cer- eal, good meats, good flsh, good housing and possibly the most ini- portant of all, good and intelli- gent care. While growth is con- tinuous it does not proceed at an even rate from birth to maturity. For, our purposes. it can be div- ided into three arbitrary stages in line with practical ranch manage- ment. The first stage is from birth to two months of age. It is the per- iod of rapid growth and can be called the litter stage. because all kits are still together. At the endi of that stage. Mink have gained approximately 5496 of their final; weight.

The second stage is from two to five months. Speed of growth is slowed down to a medium rate and the animals gain 31th of their final weight during this period: Under practical management this is considered to be the growing stage. The last state is from five to seven months and growth is rel- atively small with the animals gaining pproximately 996 of their final weight and is usually looked upon as the furring stage. The critical stage is the first, because at the end of that stage, Mink have gained slightly more than half their final weight. If your kits

by extraordinary feeding later on.

In our strain of Mink, a male kit that weighed two pounds on the first of July. weighed three and a quarter pounds on the first of November. In early nest box feed- ing and heavy feeding when the kits were still in the litter -stage. but moving d we have found that we could increase weights noticeably by the July ist date. on the average. the rate of gain. af- ter July let was relatively the same on both the kits that were held back and the onc's that were on- couraged to grow as big as poss- ible by that date. In.other words. kits that had a head start inasfar as body weight on July ist main- tained that lead right through to pelting time.

With most animals the presence of reasonably fresh ands clear drinking water is sufficient to, meet their requirements. A poc- ullarity in Mink is their marked preference of fresh, cool drinking water at frequent intervals, es- pecially in hot weather. Mink. un- like foxes, do not eat their daily allotment of feed at one sitting. During the heavy feeding period of the summer when food tends to remain on the wire for many hours, we observed, as have many ranchers. that following a. water- lng, Mink would immediately turn to their feed with renewed ap- petites. our standard prlcticejt that time was to water three times a day.
