enough to be registered?" If so, we should
raise 1t. We don't stop to think whether
the calf Is healthy or not. This is one rea-
son for the prevalence of so many diseases
among dairy cows. Look the calf over II
1t Is healthy, raise it.; If not kill it. A
short time ago, narrow breasted horses ere
all the rage. How is it now? The stout.
built horse is selected. 1t is the same with
the dairy cow. Take great care in feeding.
Do not feed frost-bitten corn, or hay that
has been wet. Cows do not like it, and will
leave it in the manger. 1t does not take
much to get COW dainty. Feed the clover
and good herdsgrass, not red.top. He feeds
two pounds of corn meal, two of bran and
eighteen to twenty of hay, mixed with en-
silage. Clear out the manger after each
fodderng, and keep it sweet and clean.
Do not have hired man around who is
cross, or who in any way maltreats the
cows. If you pass COW and she kicks,
you may say the hired man has been hitting
her with a shovel. Sometimes, however,
it is not the hired man, but he has to bear
the blame just the same. He preferred to
have the dairy COW go dry about two
months Figures show that such cows give
the most milk. Mr. Howe regards the silo
as one of the best improvements that can be
added to the farm. Farmers should be very
careful to cut the corn before it is FROST
bitten, Make the silo as narrow as possible
at the surface to avoid exposure to the air.
Mr.. Howe is a very interesting speaker and
his remarks enlisted close attention.
