Value of Feed.

Dairy COWS require two-thirds of q
full and generous ration as food to
carry on the ordinary functions of life.
A gain can only be made or a profit re-
turned when the other third is present
in like quantity and quality. Whether
it is there or not, the animal functions
of life will be supported first and what
food remains will go towards making
up the profits which the animal is ca
pable of making. All the food the
animal can be induced to eat and that
can be properly digested will go direct
ly to profit. What a cow eats beyond
the cost of keeping is what determines
the profit of her keeping. Beware OF
the cow with the small appetite, espe-
cially if the pail shows a small flow of
milk. Test her at once.
The Dupuyer acantha. [volume] (Dupuyer, Mont.) 1894-1904, 1897-01-14

Keeping up the flow CT milk ak the
year round is a sure meaus of %increas-
ing the profitableness of Il COW. This
flow may be stimulated by judiciOus
feeding, breeding and clean milking.
Succulent foods, such as god pastures
and silage, tend to increase the flow Of
milk, therefore should be used to fix
the habit in young cows. SO the young
COW should be kept milking Il long time
before breeding the second time. This
practice tends not only to fix the milk
ing habit, but to enlarge and develop
the matchmaking glands Of the udder.
Clean milking, that is removing from
the udder all of the milk at each milk
ing, tends strongly to stimulate the
production of mOr milk, while to
leave milk in the udder is a sure way
of drying UP a cow.

"A SHELL IN THE SHOVEL PILE.
Short Story of the Civil War TOIG
by an Old Soldier,


"Whenever I see u pile of shovels
stacked upon the sidewalk in front
of Il hardware %store,' said an old sol
der, 1T makes me think of q pile of
shOvelS | saw once stacked up at the
end of a traverse in an earthwork
at the time of the civil war. There
We're siege guns and mortars of one
size and another in batteries scattered
along these works-in the particular
battery that | speak of there were
two 1O0-pound rilled guns. There was
a traverse between the two guns, and
Il or the outer side of each, a tray
erse, you understand, being a short
ridge of earth running back from the
line III front. and at right angles with
it to protect the gun aud the gunners
from a lateral fire. This pile of shovels
lay at the end of one of the outer tray
erses, to the left Of the piece that l
worked on. There were six or eight
men OF the gun.
"A shell that came over from O Con
federate mortar battery dropped
square on that pile of shovels and ex-
plodcd the instant it struck. Our own
gun had just been fired, and the men
were all standing scattered around to
llle rear OF the Sun carnage, none OF
them far away from the shovel pile,
and all Of them right in open range,
not protected, as some of them, any
way, would have been a minute earlier
by standing W. OH the other side of
the gun, and the guE and the gun car

THE air was filled with smoke, and
fragments and splinters of shell and
shovels We're flying in all directions.
There wasn't a man but what expected
to have his head knocked off by a
piece of shell, IL to be cut in two by
a shovel blade, or at least to have the
handle of a shovel stuck through him.
But the fragments of shell all few
past, the shovels all came down, and
the smoke cleared away. and nobody
had even q scratch. Then the men all

Exercise for the. Dairy Cow.

A prominent dairy farmer who has

times of the year, says he has never
had a case of milk fever in summer,

reason is simply exercise" He Is a

ties are those where dairying has been
carried ON for generations. Kindness,
patience, painstaking, keen observa-
ton and steadfastness of purpose, are
all important factors in producing good
results. II. dairying is not thought to
be worth your best efforts let it alone
by all means. Let it alone If it is irk-
some to you. Devotion and application
to an enterprise begets q love for it,
or it should, and If it does not there Is
something wrong. There is a moral
side to dairying. Regular habits are
acquired. Men who keep cows must
be at home at milking time-home is q
good place. Dairying is educating and
elevating If mtelligently followed; this
is especially true of home dairying.-

Great HOIstein Cows.

The Texas Stock Journal says that
the experiment station of Texas has
two very remarkable ows Both are
registered HOlsteins and they are full
sisters. One is foul and a half years
old, weighs 1,60O pounds, and has CIV
en- eleven gallons of milk in one day.
She gave over ten gallons a day for
sixty days. She had to be MIXED
morning, noon, night, and again at 2
o'clock in the morning. Her highest
butter yield was three pounds in n
day. Her sister is only two and a half
years old, and gave over seven gallons
(57 pounds) with her first calf. 1t is
confidently expected that the elder COW
will give twelve gallons with her next
calf, and that the younger Il will sur
pass even that record when five years
old. These COWS belong to the station
herd and are the property of the state

Dairy Notes.

In dairying nearly all fertility is kept
on the farm.
If n COW has a sore teat, milk very
carefully and apply extract of witch
hazel.
The contented COW is the only profit
able one. The best COW in the world
will not do her best if not contcnted.
The first cold nights of fall have in
jured the milk yield of many a COW
permanently until she has her next
calf.
A COW that has not a bright eye is
not a good dairy COW. A fool animal
of any kind is not the best animal Of
its class.
Remember that filth cannot be strain
ed from milk. See that the mixers
do not allow the milk to become faint
ed.
The first step toward profitable dairy
ing is to make choice butter, and the
second is to find a steady market at tho
good price.
When hogs are kept in connection
with the dairy there is no loss from
the b~y-productS of olfal; everything is
utilized.
Dairying is a noble, honest, elevat ting
business, but that does not prevent
very dishonest men from being inter-
ested in, matters pertaining to dairying,
The cream separator has come to
stay, and every day it is coming to be
regarded more and more a necessary
adjunct to the farm.
The agricultural schools of the coun-
try are all excellent dairy schools, and
that is an additional and important in
centive to attend them.
There is one very essential separator
needed in the dairy, one that will sep
arate the good COWS from the poor so
widely that the latter will b.. ,,aard

How Calves Are Spoiled.

Quite as many calves are spoiled for
dairy purposes by overlooking as by
being fed too little; for If the calf is
left too fieshy ii acquires a tendency
to continue so. 1t should be fed OH
new milk alone for two or three weeks
when buttermilk should be substituted.
If the calf is at grass no other food
will be required. Until the calf is two
months old fhe milk should be warmed
to about 80 degrees and should always
be fed from a clean pail or calf feeder.
Winter calves should he kept warm
and dry and should be given a little
fine hay az o az they will take it,
or at about four weeks of age. They
may have ground oats or wheat In
limited quantities, always to be fed
dry. Calves should be weaned from
milk soon after they are four months
old. No grain should be fed after the
heifers are well started unless their
pasturage or hay supply is of inferior
quality, when it may be supplemented
with bran or oat meal
