THE ADVOCATE.
CATTLE AND DAIRY NOTES.

Montana's sales of cattle this yea
amounts to 100000 or $S,000,0O0.
When the milk is drawn, take i
out of the stable or COW yard at once
The COW appreciates comfortable
place in winter and so does the milk ell
The Cherokee Strip is now free
cattle, except those belonging to the
Cherokees.
If milk is contaminated bad butter
and cheese must be the result. Hence
the necessity of cleanliness.
Where roots have been fed for years,
the silo has not yet got a foothold.
Roots will do, to say the least.
The Home, Land & Cattle Co., of
St. Louis recently 1913 head of LAP
pound wintered Texas cattle at $4.25.
There is no profit in breeding a
FLOODED calf and then allowing it
to forage around straw stack all
winter.
A COW that jumps fences needs at
tention, but not as much in the way
ofpokes, binders, knee bands, etc, as
plenty of food.
And now there is a chance for our
hogs in Austria. On with the gate
openings, let the great American
pOrker be unconfined
Don't spare the knife on any ami
nal that will have tendency to lower
the standard Of your herd rather than
to improve it.
While it is best always to push the
fattening, there is nothing gained by
feeding stock a. any time, more than
they will eat up clean.
A COW that cares nothing for ordi-
nary fences is a nuisance, while the
corn field holds out much better prom
Uses than the COW pasture.
All along the line Of production tie
principle will hold good that quality
governs price and that profit is found
only in producing the best.
The question of "dchorning" cattle
is greatly agitated among stockyard
men, ranchmen, and all who have
charge of the animals in life.
Somebody talks of scrub feed.
Timely, exceedingly timely. Scrub
feed has made many scrub COW
scrubbier than she need TO have been.
A bunch Of steers that are all |
about the same size and color, catch
the eye of dealer much more readily
than if the animals are of all sizes and
colors.
Market the scrub bull this fall, and
arrange TO commence breeding with a
pure-bred of some Of the better breeds.
Scrub hogs, cattle or horses do not
pay.
1t is the caseine left in the butter
that causes it to sour and spoil. Re-
move all of the caseine and pure but
ter will keep sweet and fresh indeti-
nitcly, if protected from the air.
Choice beef cattle that are consider
ably above the average quality can
always be sold at a very good price a
short time before the holidays. But
they must be in prime condition.
The COW that the farmer wants is
one that will yield him a good profit
with ordinary care. He has no dis
position to put COW TO bed and tuck
her in, or to feed it on Cruel.
The man who complains that his
cows are unruly can safely be set
down as a poor farmer, and very often
he is cruel one, who deserves pun
ishment. Most unruly cows are made
30 by hunger.
One good and efiectual remedy to
warts is to wait until she is
dry, then wash them thoroughly with
4 solution of sal ammoniac and cam
phor; before she becomes fresh they
will have entirely disappeared.
There will be vast deal of cattle
feeding done on small scale in Ne
Draska and Kansas this fall and win
Ter. Every farmer who can fatten
hem from five to one hundred steers
will be hunting for feeders. So says
