Night in the Deser,.

r. Talbot Kelly, the English artist

its trackless expanse undulating to the

opinion, Gun equal. Again, as the eff

Keen the Cows Warn.

Some dairymen think their COWS must
60 out in the cold TO keep healthy, says
an exchange. One writer said he would
turn them out every day if he had TO
hold an umbrella over their heads This
man must be very kind, for kind man
is kind TO his beasts, and it must be a
source of great comfort to COWS to stand
and see the icicles as they form from
their eyes and nose. a COW turned out
for 10 minutes each day will shrink IN

the cows are kept the more food Is re-

The Cow Is Doing 1t.

The COW Is saving the farmer Of the
plains. She is not the handsomest of his
possessions, but as she is coaxed into a
corner of the yard and gives her milk
she does more to pay of the mortgages
than any of the fancy investments of
which the farmer has been so proud
The last few years have been hard ones
for the dweller on the prairie claim
He has found the price of grain low and
the yield light. He has experimental
and found the end vexatiOus.
In Kansas scores of creameries are be
ing built each month Less than ten
years ago the first creamery was estab-
ished in this county, and it was one OF
the first in the state. Now there are 10
in one county, and of the $500 families
in the farming communities 1,70O take
to the factory each morning greater OF
less supply of milk They get from 50 &c
500 each month for milk the yeal

the total is nearly $500, 900 annually.
That means much TO the settlers, who
are thus enabled TO have a steady In
come not dependent on the rainfall Of
the winds.
The prairie women are responsible tol
the great advance made in this direc
ton They were the first to see the profit
to be gained from the little things OF
the claim. The hens are said to have
saved Nebraska, and the humble COW il

A PLAIN LESSON.
But 1t Is Hard For DAirymen to Learn


It.
A correspondent of The Country Gen
tleulan makes the following clear state
ment Of fact:
I'm a recent number of the Michigan
Farmer l read a communication from
E. F. Brown, giving the result OF test
made and record kept of the production
of one COW in a dairy. which clearly
teaches a most valuable lesson that was
entirely overlooked IN the report
During eight weeks following Feb.
9 this COW gave /, Cos pounds milk, or
% 81 pounds per day on an average.
But there was variation from 1913 70
216 pounds per week, and history OF
the way in which she was fed and treat
ed during the time, and it Is In this we
are to find the lesson.
For instance, during the first week,
Feb. 9 to 10, she gave POI pounds and
the next week 214 pounds, or gain OF
IS pounds. Now, the first week was
warm and pleasant, and she was turned
out every day 20 minutes TO drink, but
the next week was a regular blizzard,
and she was not turned out at all, but
watered in the stable twice q day, and
gained almost two pounds per day,
while the rest of the herd, turned out
as usual, shrunk 10 70 12 pounds each
She therefore showed an absolute gain
of about % pounds per week. or over
S1-2 pounds per day, or over 2 per cent.
Now, this milk was made In winter and
was worth at least 81 per 100 pounds,
and, if so. it paid % cents Fer week
| lust for the care and comfort. Twenty
FIVE cents per week means, for 26 weeks,
the usual period of stabling COWS, SO. 90,
| and this for an absence of 20 minutes
exposure each day and for added care
and comfort And yet how many cranks
we have who claim that the COW must
20 out every day for q breath OF fresh
air, and usually they mean run out from
two TO four hours. II man has, say, Is
COWS, the loss for the 90 minutes ex-
posure each would be S97. so. or good
deal more than it would cost to hire q
man to care for them.
But there was another factor which
entered into this gain which should not
be overlooked. A part of this gain was
due to the fact that in the second week
she was watered twice day instead OF
/ once.
1.-The average dairyman does not seem
to realize the importance Of giving his
cows all the water they want and wher
thew want it. He does not remember
that more than 81 per cent of the mill
is water, and that without this water
no matter how well the COW is fed, she
can't make the milk. Nor does he realize
how difficult it is-in fact, that it /:
impossible-for the COW 10 drink at ont
time enough water to do her for a full
day and have her do her best.
IAN average 1000 pound COW IN fuI
milk must have from five to seven pail
of water every "a hours, and compelled
10 take this enormous quantity all a
one time she Is badly handicapped
Every man on watering twice daI
will notice a change from once water
ing, and when watering three times b.
will see an increase over twice ant
those who put in a stable watering de
vice and give COWS constant access Il
water are always surprised at the gain.

to feed slowly, watch the sides OF the
