Holste,ns as Milk Producers.


This grade of cattle is now being ex-
tensively introduced into this State.
1t stands high in the estimation OF
dairymen. The phenomenal record Of
one hundred and four pounds of milk
in one day has just been made in New
York State by COW of this breed. 1t
pays, and pays big, to keep this kind
of COW where there is any demand
for milk. / can not understand how
any man who cares at all for his pecu-
mary welfare can be as Indifferent to
the improvement of his stock as SO
many men are. Does Holstein COW,
because it is Holstein. eat more than
any other similar sized animal? OF
course not. But its milk-sccreting
glands are more highly developed and
the same amount of fool will produce
different results in Holstein and n
scrub. The Holstein is called gen.
eral-purpose animal. l think this is
somewhat doubtful 1t is true that it
is large-framed and has plenty of flesh,
but my observation has been that the
flesh is coarser- grained than the flesh
Of Galloway. Shorthorn or Hereford.
A Holstein steer will not bring as
much money in the market rs they
will. That the perfect cow has been
discovered is very doubtful. for it
would imply a general-purpose cow.
and all the qualities essential for hus-
bandry can not be wrapped up in one

fair beef. and are magnificent dairy
stock. A Holstein crossed in a Short
horn will. i think. produce y very de-
sirable type. We intend to grade
some stock of this description with a
view to bringing out their best points.
1t will probably result in an improve
ment of the beef on the one hand and
the milk on the other. Whether the
milk is good one remains to be
proved to every ones satisfaction. Our
stock is limited in numbers and we
should be glad of the cooperation of

The Value Of the Corn Crop,

The high value of the corn crop was
hardly appreciated until it was de-
monstrated by many carefully-conduct-
ed experiments made with ensilage
during the past few years. Different
plans have been followed in handling
the corn crop. The common way has
been to raise it for the grain, and
either use or waste the fodder as q by
product. according to circumstances.
Another method in successful though
not general use is to utilize the whole
crop for feed in the shape of fodder
corn. which is either cut up green and
stored in silo, or shocked and cured
and then ricked up at the teed-lot or
left in the field until needed. While
the results of careful, practi cal expert
ments have shown that the silo is an
excellent place in which 10 preserve the
corn crop. they have also shown
that ensilage is equaled in feed
ing value by good. bright
fodder. 1t has also been demonstrate
ed that when this crop is to be used up
on the farmland that is where it
ought to be used whenever practicable
the largest returns can be realized
when it is handled either in the form
OF fodder-corn or ensilage The silo
is gradually coming into general use
among dairymen. AS result of the
uniformly favorable testimony given
in their favor at the Wisconsin farm
ers' institutes the past winter, it is
said that over two thousand silos will
be built in that State the coming sea-
son.
But farmers are conservative. and
very slow 10 make such radical
changes in their methods, so q great
deal OF interest was manifested last
fall in the many trials of method
that is a good compromise between
the old and the new ones mentioned.
Several years ago dairyman,
knowing the value of cut feed,
run his corn-fodder through
common grain-thresher This
suggested the idea of threshing the
whole crop right out of the shock as
soon as cured, Smelling the corn and
shredding the fodder at the same
time. The general success attending
the trials of this method has decided
many farmers to adopt it for the fut.
ure. Some enthusiastic expert
mentors even claim that it will be-
come as common to thresh corn as
wheat. Ole of the disadvantages is
the amount of heavy handling re-
quired. To lessen this to some extent
the seasonable suggestion is now
made to plant when threshing IS in
tended. only those varieties of corn
that make medium growth of stalk.
Do not infer that any high-priced
nov-fty is recommended; simply Sc
leos well-known varieties that yield
the largest amount of grain in pro-
portion to the stalk.

Valuable Suggestions for Fond Young

valuable suggestions for Fond Young
Mothers and Fathers.
If you have any regard for the future
health of baby do not fall into the habit
of giving him little tastes" of every
thing. 1t not only disarranges his
stomach, but makes him easily dissatis-
fed with his own food. A child who
has never been allowed to eat of this
and that just to see whether he likes it
or not, when weaned will sit up to the
table and eat his piece of bread con-
tentedly while the buildings and pies
are passed around him. He does not
associate these articles of food with
himself but with the larger people and
remains satisfied with his own limited
bill of fare. We know this is SO from
experience, and also that the first piece
of cake or doughnut given the child
will surely be remembered. The little
one who visits much can never be reg
ulated in regard to diet, sleep or in fact
any of his habits. We are strongly in
favor of keeping babies at home; even
visits to grandparents are not always
satisfactory. 1t is much better for
grandma to take the little outing which
she needs and will enjoy, and visit the
baby in its own home. A glance
through railway car will usually fur
nish a type of mothers enjoyment in
visiting and travelling. The memory of
several such undertakings is yet fresh
in our own mind and we can not refrain
from advising young mothers to keep
the babies quietly at home. Then if
sickness comes there will be no vain re-
grets that the home and its comforts
had been left. But visiting with excite
ments, unfamiliar surroundings and
changes of diet are one thing. and
healthful outdoor life is another. Every
baby should get breath of fresh air
each day unless the weather is severe.
In that case it should be wrapped up
and the air in the living room entirely
changed. Bear this in mind unless
your child has grave disease. the longer
You can postpone giving drugs and
medicines, the better it will be for ste
