MINK and Beef.

National Live Stock Journal
The Journal reaches such various classes of
dairymen, who produce milk for such various
ends, that we shall be aiding many by dis
feasibility of producing milk and beef at the
same time. 1t is generally believed by
dairymen that this can not be done-tnat a
cow can not give a remunerative yield of
milk and lay on fat and flesh at the same
time; but this opinion is not in accordance
with well-conducted experiments, both in
this country and in England. The late Mr..
Horsfall, very painstaking and careful ex-
perimenter in dairyiDg in England, detailed
his in the Royal Agricultural Society's
Journal, by which he proved most con-
clusively with his whole herd that COW can
be fed so as to maintain full yield of
milk and lay on flesh satisfactorily at the
same tune, and that ne found this the most
remuneratiye plan of dairying. It Goes not
follow that all dairymen would find this
plan the most profitable. His market for
beef was as tempting as his market for milk.
But our purpose in discussing this question
is not, at present, to recommend ii for its
profit, but to see if 1T is practicable to pro
duce beef and milk at the same time. Mr..
Horsfall, while experimenting in reference
the effect of high feeding upon mich
cows discovered that farrow COW fed
abundantly on appropriate food for PRO
ducing milk, would go on producing o re-
mQQerdt1V6 ylelQ LOT D lCDS season., mucu
PAST the usual time of bearing . second
calf; and, taking hint from this in
stead of buying fresh cows and calves at high
prices ne selected good farrow cows, dis
carded because they were farrow, but yet
giving fair yield of milk. These could be
had at low figures; and he had found that
under his system of feeding they could be
made to increase their milk very largely,
yielding the best quality. and. at the same
time, making rapid progress in fattenlng for
slaughter, drying them off only during the
last month of fattening. He found his yield
of cream about as much as from fresh cows,
which produced him profit; and when the
COW was ready for the butcher he made
another quite satisfactory profit on her sale.
His system was found successful in other
hands, as was lately proved in an address
before the London Farmers club by Mr..
Alexander, the manager of the Aylesbury
Dairy company, at Kensington. He de-
scribed his practice with large number OF
COWS in that establishment of keeping all in
such high condition that they were ready

Milking a Wounded Teat.
Davenport Gazette.l

One of our deepest mixers came up with
teat badly torn upon a barbed wire. 1t
was infamed and very tender from the
wound, and, though gentle COW, she would
not bear to lave it pressed in such way as
to draw the milk. We formed tube from
the barrel of one of the larger wing
feathers of chicken, and succeeded admir-
ably in drawing the milk. 1t was done as
quietly as an ordinary milking, the COW
chewing her cud most of the time. 1t was
then an easy matter to dress the wound,
and by repeating this few times that which
might otherwise have resulted IN a spoiled
udder, es well as great deal of trouble, will
be as sound as before. There is no patent
on this milk tube, and the expense is insig-
nIficant.
