Time Of Calving and Yield of Milk.

National Live Stock. j ournal. Chicago.
We have given our experience, in
previous numbers Of The Journal, on
this question, showing that when COWS
come in in winterssor late in the fall
they yield more milk before drying than
when they come in in April or May.
We have found difference of thous-
and pounds on the same cow, and this
has occurred so often that we regard
early calving as the true policy. We
see, from German paper, that 1.-The
same experience has occurred there.
In Northern Germany it is generally
arranged that COWS shall calve from
November I to February, believing
that the largest yield Of milk is thus
obtained. In Holland the practice
has been to have them come in daring
March and April. A German expert
menter, in order to test the facts in
this matter, kept careful record of
the milk obtained from 142 COWS Of
about the same age and condition.
One day in each week he had the milk
of each cow weighed separately, and
calculated the weekly yielo on this
basis. Until the beginning of March
the cows were kept in their sheds, and
then to the beginning of November,
were in pasture. The result showed
clearly that, after the month of
February, a constant decrease in the
yield of milk, and in the duration of
lactstion, occurred, in direct proportion
to the lateness of the date when the
cows calved. He found also that the
quality of the milk Was inferior in the
later calved cows. This latter point
might have been owing to the differ
ence in cows. Butdairymen would do
well to consider this matter as to the
time of calving, and test it on the same
cows. We explain the larger yield of
milk by The general fact that cows
coming in late in the fall are fed well
through the winter to keep up their
yield of milk, and then the grass
again increases it, so as TO give q
longer season and larger yield of
milk.

Thin hair is thickened, falling hair
checked, and badness often, though
not always, cured by its use. Moth
ing can restore the hair where the
follicles are destroyed, or the glands
atrophied and decayed. But such as
remain can be saved for usefulness
BY this application. Instead of foul
ing the hair with pasty sediment, it
will keep it clean and vigorous. It's
occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off, and
consequently prevent baldness. Free
from those deleterious substances
which make some preparations dan
gerous, and injurious to the hair, the
Vigor can only benefit but not harm
it. If wanted merely for a
