A Valuable Herd.

Mr.. George S. Angus OF Kossuth
County, postoffice Burt, publishes in
the Burt Monitor the following report
of the earnings of twelve cows for the
year: whole number of cows MIXED
during the year was IL, number of
pounds of milk taken to the factory
was &c, 141, which would be 5,S44 pounds
per COW. Milk sold for 512.90; skim
milk, at 10 cents hundred, S7.12; II
calves this year are worth at least $50;
total s643.13; $3.50 apiece. I noticed
last year that some in writing gave
the average number of cows MIXED
during the year; which do not think is
the right way. ! give the whole num-
her that was MIXED during the year.
whether it was for ten or only two
months: If man has to have Is cows
to milk, say an average of 10, then
he should count them as Is and not
10. Our milk sold for 73 per hundred
which was two cents below the average
price paid at the factory. We aim to
milk them IL months in the year, com
mencing about November or Decem.
Der. as a COW will feed all winter, and
MIXED will give as much milk the fol-
lowing summer as the half-fed COW
coming in in the spring"

Poultry Runs.

Farmers are not, as are city people,
restricted for range for their poultry,
Therefore the birds should always
have large ranges. The range should
be large enough so that the grass will
not be eaten off. 1t might be thought
that this word OF advice is not needed,
yet we know that it is. We have our
selves seen farms where the poultry
run was SO limited that the earth was
bare of verdure all the time. Beyond
the run In mind was a grass field that
should have been made to contribute to
the sustenance of the poultry. There
is another point about having a grass
run for the poultry SO large that the
grass cannot be eaten Off. That is.
that grass is a cheaper food for poul-
try, as a part ration, than almost any
other. The grass not only is a cheap
food, but healthful food, and one that
seems to stimulate egg production. The
blades of grass attract insects, such as
grasshoppers, and thus contribute to
the supply of llesh-food, so much liked
by poultry. Wire for fencing costs lit
tie; therefore there is no reason why
large poultry run should not be an
accessory to every farm.
