Milk for the Hens.

Milk is one of the best foods that can
be given to the laying hens, but it
should not be sour, nor should it re-
main exposed to become distasteful,
says an exchange. We are often asked
if milk cannot be used as a substitute
for meat. The fact is, milk is superior
to meat, as it is complete food; but
when we realize that meat is concen-
trated, compared with milk, the diff
ficulty Of substituting milk for meat
is plainly seen, for the hens cannot
drink enough Of the milk, there being
about eighty-six per cent Of water in
it. That is, to derive fourteen pounds
of solid matter from milk the hens
must drink eighty-six pounds of water
in the milk, which requires quite a
length of time. Milk should be given
even when meat is fed, as it contains
mineral matter, and also because 1t is
more convenient to be obtained than
meat.

The writer has read what all the
chief poultry writer's have written
about the importance Of feeding fowls
with pounded crockery. OF course We
never believed any of it. Some three
weeks ago when cleaning on the feed
ing boards broken saucer. an axe and
q Ratchet happened to be near. and
looking about to see that no one was
observing the foolish proceeding, we
proceeded to manufacture some new
tangled grit. twenty-five hungry hens
and three ROSTERS stood anxiously
around apparently wondering what all
that meant. The fragments were care
fully spread on the boards, and We
then stood back to see the fowls go for
the stuff. But they walked away IN
disgust Then some wheat was scat
tered on the boards with 1t. The wheat
was promptly attacked and completely
disposed of. but not so the pounded
crockery. It is there yet, and has been
there about three weeks, and it any OF
it has been used by the fowls it can
not be missed. After a while We will
sweep it of and pound no more.

Whether or not q farmer can pro-
duce milk at three cents quart. de-
ponds, first, on the sort Of cows he has,
says Hoard's Dairyman. A cow that
produces 2.325 quarts yields within q
fraction of 5000 pounds. A good COW
should produce 5000 pounds of 3.75 to
4 per cent milk. At three cents quart
the cash value of 5000 pounds of milk
Is $69.75. With good farm manage
ment such cows should be kept for $40;
We have then a profit above the cost OF
feed Of $29.75. The labor cost should
not exceed one good man to fifteen
cows. There are several questions to
consider when farmers say they can
not afford to produce milk at three
cents q quart. Such as the following.
for instance: why can l not afford
it," "Is it because my cows are too
poor in quality? certainly ought not
to expect to make any profit if will
not make a practical effort to have
cows that average at least 5000 pounds
. year Of four per cent milk" Am l
making any real intelligent effort to
keep better cows?" Have I been study
ing this question as business farmer
ought?" Have taken pains to breed
and raise better cows or have depend
cd on buying cows bred by men who
know less about breeding q good COW
than do?"

Polled Breed. of Cattle.

Col. D. McCrae: We find traces Of
old breeds Of polled cattle here and
there over the continent of Europe. In
Austria there is breed of polled cat
tie. mostly red in color, which have
existed there for many years. Just how
long is not known; their origin is lost
in antiquity. Polled cattle are COM
mon in Norway. and Iceland has .
hornless breed of small size, but very
fat and good" Ireland had at one time
breed Of polled cattle. "The Devon
shire Mats, or p0lled cattle, now rap
idly decreasing in number, possess a
general figure and most of the good
qualities of the horned beasts Of that
district" was written about 1910, and
now this breed has quite disappeared.
The Yorkshire polls were described an
good for grazing. and for the pail, hav-
ing the same qualities as the Short.
Horns. They are now quite rare. The
Suffolk dun used to be celebrated on
account Of the large quantity of milk
that she yielded. They have been
merged into the Red Polls or Norfolk.
now a well known and Justly celebrat-
ed dairy breed. This breed is the only
modern breed Of polled dairy cattle.
Polled Durhams have Of late years be-
come q distinct breed, and are widely
and favorably known. The Polled Alb
erdeen or Angus cattle have become
one Of the most popular of the modern
beef breeds, and one well worthy of q
foremost place in any company. They
have been very much improved in re-
cent years by careful and judicious Sc
lection. All these breeds have with
the Galloways probably a common an.
cestry.

A story is told of Bismarck when he
visited London az far back az 1843. He
was taken by his entertainers to the
noted brewery Of Messrs. Barclay &
Perkins. as was certain Austrian gen.
eral on another memorable occasion.
His reputation as a beer drinker had
preceded him, and his hosts presented
him with an enormous tankard Of old
ale. The size of the beaker conveyed .
challenge which the young champion
Of the Prussian Junkers was not slow
to accept. This is his own account Of
what followed. as told by him to Sir
Charles Dixie: Il seized the tankard,"
said he. "and thought Of my country
and drank to Prussia and tilted it till
It was empty. Then I thanked my en-
tertainers-courteously. ! hope

London bridge. There I sat down In
one Of the stone recesses. and for hours
the great bridge went round and round

Som. Point. for ,1ilker,.

In the course Of an address deliver
ed by the Dairy Instructor for the Butte
County Council, says Dairy World
(Eng.). several suggestions were made
BY the lecturer as to the operation Of
milking, which we may summarize -
follows: To milk COW clean" has
always been the ambition of the milk
er, and when the end was attained he
was perfectly satisfied. But to milk q
cow in Clearly way, although of
equal importance, did not in a large
percentage of cases come within the
scope of his consideration. Good cows
have been quite spoiled through bad
and careless milking, and there are
very few mixers who understand any
thing about the cows udder or milk
vessel. A word or two on this point
may not be out of place. The cows
udder is divided into two chambers by
an impervious membrane. This divid-
ing substance runs in the same direc-
ton as the backbone. and the milk
from one chamber cannot pass into the
other. For this reason, it Is advisable
that the mixer should operate, say. on
the front and hind teats on the side
next to him, and having emptied one
chamber Of the cows vessel, should
proceed with the other This is not,
however. the general practice. It Is
customary to operate on the teats Of
different chambers simultaneously. on
the ground that that method of proceed
ure preserves the natural state Of the
udder, whereas such a contention is
quite contrary to fact. The lecturer
stated that he was quite sure that the
general method of milking is mainly
responsible for much of the malforma-
ton in the udder of SO many cows.
That, Of course, is great evil. as it
detracts from the appearance Of the
animals, and lowers their money value
when offered for sale.

Dirt In Milk.

d. H. Otis. of Kansas agricultural
college writes in Farmers Review:
The dairy secured samples Of milk
from persons that were engaged more
or less in the dairy business. and plac-
ed these in long. narrow glass tubes.
After being allowed to stand for sew
eral hours these tubes were examined
and notes taken On the amount Of dirt
that settled to the bottom. Consider
able difference was found, some sam
,ples being almost free from visible
dirt. while others had so much that It
formed an irregular ring along the
lower edge of the tube. While this
test Is a good one to detect solid par
ticles Of dirt in the milk. it is by no
means conclusive, as where milk Is
handled in an uncleanly manner more
or less dirt becomes dissolved in the
milk and cannot be separated out. This
goes to illustrate the importance of the
utmost cleanliness in handling milk.
We object strongly to milk being adul-
terated with water. but this is not to
be compared with adulterating it with
dirt.

The Economical Hen.

The hen is an economical adjunct 70
the farm. The horse, the COW and the
sheep are consumers of waste products
only to a limited degree. The sheep
may eat weeds, but will not eat grass
hoppers and crickets to any alarming
extent. The feed that is put into the
COW and the horse has a market value,
and this cannot be said of the food
consumed by the hen. The food Of the
latter is exceedingly varied. Weed and
grass seeds abound in every locality,
and these she carefully hunts up and
makes into a marketable product. She
is also lover of many varieties of in
sects. some Of which are very destruc-
tive to the plants grown by the farmer.
Moreover, she is a constant visitor to
the grain field after the crop has been
removed and is veritable Ruth in her
cleaning propensities. On many farms
the product from the hen is about all
profit.

Egg Production.

Doubtless the largest profits from
the farmers poultry yard will always
be those arising from the sale or use
Of eggs. The egg is nearly always
cash. It comes nearer to a circulating
medium than almost any other thing
the farmer probes. The demand for
strictly fresh eggs seems never to be
fully supplied, except in the immediate
locality where the eggs are produced.
The farmer that produces eggs knows
that he can always sell them for cash,
and that usually there is far more
profit in the exchange than is the case
with any kind of flesh. The produc-
ton of eggs is increasing from year to
year. but not more rapidly than the de-
mand.
