Red Polled Cattle as Mixers.

AT the annual meeting of Red Polled
Cattle Club at Chicago, Nov. 3. the re-
port on Milk Tests was made as follows
"Your Committee on Milk Tests has to
report but fourteen entries in the test this
year, representing only two herds and one
State. The average yield of the COW test
ed, however, is considered very credtable.
and three of them made records in yield of
fat surprising any heretofore reported for
the breed in official tests. These are ~
10 Coronet and $3.50 Lady of Tittleshal
from the Riverview Herd. and 500 Tryste
from the herd of V. +. Hills. Taking the
yield of fat as the measure, the best record
last year was 81 lbs. from Lady of
Iittleshall the best year is 90 lbs, from
Coronet The best official record for the
breed prior to this was made by 2o64
Mayhower, from the herd of Y. +. Hills
Her yield in three days was lis go lbs of
milk and 5.T4 lbs of fat an average of 80
IS lbs. of milk and III lbs. of fat per day.
Three of the cows in the test this year ex-
ceeded this yield. The average score of
the nine mature COWS in the test this year
is 81, 80 points; the average of the same
number las, year was 81 90 points. The
best five COWS in Capt. Hills herd made
an aggregate score of 495 81 points. The
five IN the Rivervew Herd score 42o SO
points. Capt Hills herd is entitled to
first prize and that of Mr.. Smith to
second.

A Historic Somerset Farm

L. Fl. Walker of North Arson is living
on a farm which has been in the family
for six generations. His great grandfather,
Jonathan Albee, soldier under General
Washington, lived on the farm with his
wife, Sarah Danforth Albee. moved TO
Lexington to live with his daughter Anna,
who married Dea. Henry Parsons, where
he died in 1914 at the age of 100 years,
II months, 20 days. His wife died in 49,
SO, aged 88 years. Their son, Rev. Isaac
Albee, and his wife, Rispah Caves Albee,
lived on the old farm and brought up a
family of three children: Olive, who mar
ried David Ouint, Samuel and Levinah.
Levnah married Deacon Joseph Walker
and moved to Embden and lived there
until her death in 1881, at the age of SO
years and 10 months. Her husband died
in 1878, aged SO years, 10 months. In
1861 L H. Walker bought the old farm,
where he now lives. In 1896 he suffered
paralytc shock. His daughter, Clara,
and her husband, Charles A. Getchell,
then came to live with him, remaining
until he could do his work. Their son,
Clement GetChell, nine years DID, now
lives with Mr.. Walker and he is the sixth
generation that has lived on the same
farm.
The old black meeting house, so called
built more than one hundred years ago,
of hewn timber, was built on the same
farm, on the banks of the Carrabassett
river, and is supposed to have been the
first meeting house built in Somerset
county.

Feeding Skimmilk

There is just as much nourishment in a
pound of skimmilk at temperature of zero
as there is in pound of milk at ninety
degrees, but the calf or the pig will fail to
get the same amount out of the frozen
milk as it will out of the warm milk, simp-
ly because its digestive apparatus is not
built for the purpose of getting nourish-
ment out Office. Now why not start this
fall to turn over new leaf and feed the
skimmilk so as to get all out of it that
there is in it? What is the use OF letting
anything go to waste that can be avoided
even if wheat is a dollar? Save all we
can. If we had a hole in our trousers
pocket and every day penny dropped out
how long would il be before we had that
hole sewed up2 There are dozens of
holes on the farm that leak out more than
a penny, but only because we cannot see
the pennies roll out because we 60 com
posedly along the even tenor of our way
as if we had pennies to burn. Let us
recollect that every time we feed ice cold
milk to either pigs, chickens or calves we
are losing pennies, and forth with resolve
we will do so no more. 1t is good plan
to occasionally look over the farm and see
if there are any pennies going to waste

Nothing but cloth strainer will keep
hairs and other impurities out of the milk !;
no wire strainer is sufficient. To make
sure of thorough straining. milk should
run through wire strainer, a strainer of
course muslin, and through one or more
thickneSses of cotton Strainer cloth.
Cream that will not churn has been
kept so long that it is too sour; the ad
dition of little cooking soda will sweeten
it somewhat but the butter will be inferior.
More frequent churning will prevent the
difficulty.
Fast milking is important, but careful
ness is also essential Cows with tender
teats are likely to be made impatient and
tretful by rough handling.
In case of trouble in milking young or
vicious COW, pass a strap or rope around
the body in front of the bag, behind right
hip and in front OF the left. Draw it rather
tightly and fasten. The strap exerts pres
sure upon the mustles and tends to res
train the animal. At the same time care
and gentleness are necessary to cure a
vicious or nervous COW.
Turnips may be fed to mich cows if
the roots are fresh and are fed only i'm.
mediately after milking. Do not feed too
large quantity. and never feed heated or
deeayed turnips.
As to size of cattle there is golden
mean. The medium cow possesses
endurance and stamina without consum-
ing too much food. A vary large COW is
likely to run to beef An under sized COW
seldom keeps up the milk production well
because of lock of staying powers.
Lice are sometimes troublesome on
cattle. Rubbing with grease or brine will
kill the insects Suds made from caroolic
soap is a good remedy.
