Prof. Sanborn thinks that intelligent
practice would keep double the stock
that Is now kept with the same guam
tity of food. Undoubtedly; and II feed
ing was properly done in the dairy the
profits from our cows would be fifty per
cent. more than 1t now is; and II in ad-
dition to proper feeding we all had the
best COWS and gave them the best gem
eral care, and If we adopted the best
methods known in the dairy. the profits
would increase, We believe. seventy FIVE
per cent. Now II we are correct in our
supposition, it is worth every cow

ter. and see to what extent he can i'm

THE DAIRY.

Winter dairying is the remedy for
tho surplus OF butter that accumulates
in the summer.
"A dairy school in every State would
revolutionize the dairy and creamery
business.
Butter should be kept cool during
tho working, and also during the few
hours it may be left for the salt to dis
solve.
Your cows will certainly fall of in
their milk unless thcy are housed in a
warm stable during inclement or very
cold weather.
Feed bran to the cows to build up
the wasting hone and supply phosphate
for. the milk. No food IL better for
these purposes.
Parchment paper Is the right thing
for wrapping butter in. 1t will not
stick. is air-proof, waterproof. tasteless
and odorless. besides being cheaper and
cleaner than cloth.
The bogus butter men do not seem
to be gathering in the ducats for their
dirty product as rapidly as they used to.
The opposition to their stun has made
itself felt. Western Rural.
The idea Of diluting milk, set for
cream, with fifty to sixty per cent. OF
water is fast gaining Roadway In the
practice Of go-ahead dairymen. Try 1t
and see how it works in your case.
When your heifers come in. weigh
and test their milk for whole year, so
that you can tell without any guess work
which produce tho most; and when you
have any to sell, always let the poorest
go.
-Ripening cream does not mean rot
ting it. Cream that stands until the
whey begins to separate Is simply rot

spoiled beforehand, and Of course has
neither quality nor life. A word to the
wise is sufficient.

Have 1eosed their hold on life's frail strands

Which lies beyond my mortal ken;

Dear heart, sweet heart, thy tender eyes,
With all their depths of wondering.

And their far look Of thought nnthought
Shall never come again. or be,

DAIRY DOTS.

The followin & items are from the Ma
tional Stockman:
IT is the all-the-year worker that gives
the greatest yield.
Why not get butter or milk bull Of
your own? Bulls are cheap now.
IT is better to keep the cow healthy
by good feeding than by medicine.
DoN'r forget that calves will eat grass
or hay when they are only few weeks
old.
DAIRY COW should 20 dry but few
weeks in the year; dry COW is not =
paying one.
THE COW on pasture runs less risk OF
constipation 1T calving than the one on
dry feed.
If You have scrub cows. poor scrubs
at that, the bull, If good one, will be
nine-tenths Of the herd.
NEVER mind about the color of the
cows hair, but il her skin is yellow it
is one point in her favor.
We can't force people to buy what
they don't want, SO we must make the
kind Of butter they do want
THE COW that calves just before tho
pasture season is,over will get . good
start for her winters work.
MILK fever is generally preceded by
constipation; good condition Of the
bowels is therefore important.
The summer cow also declares week
ly dividends, but rs there are SO many
summer cows, the weekly dividends are
weakly.
THIcKEN the watery SKINNED milk

calves and pigs will not mind the extra
