Feeding calves or steers is more
work than feeding pigs, and requires
more stable room, but it is far less
risky. They consume much larger
proportion of rough and cheap feed,
and with suitable cows il costs less
to produce them. A calf may be
lost occasionally, but that will be
before any great expense has been
incurred In feeding It. There are
practically no epidemic nor conta-
gious diseases with which to con-
tend.
When an animal gets off its feed
it is usually because the owner has
been too generous. Do not overfeed

One thing should always be borne in
mind by the person in making butter to
sell The butter is for somebody else
to eat, and it is for your interest to suit
them, whether it just suits your taste or
not. Habit has a great deal to do with
our likes and dislikes. You may have
been accustomed to sweet cream but

Or, you may have got used to eating
butter made from very ripe cream, and
the butter not washed to expel the but

You want to make it to suit your Gus

same for the customers. They are get
ting tastes formed which you can make

province of the maker of dairy butter
to try and educate the tastes of the
people who buy butter, but rather to
cater to their tastes when he finds out
what they are. If one is making but
ter to put on the general market, he
wants to make what the market de-
mands and will pay the best price for.
The best way to learn the market de-
mand is to have the butter inspected
by an expert judge who is dealer and
knows what takes best in the market.
Ask him to criticise it and tell you just
what he thinks of it; and do not get
angry at what he tells you, but try and
profit by what he says. The object OF
this article is to help farmers to make
such butter as the best-paying custom

objectio corners that in rectan-
gular silos give so much trouble. The
silo, being in the center of tie barn,
can be carried up as high as may be
desired, and is most conveniently stu
ated with reference to feeding the
stock. In fact. this is one Of the strong
points of the ocIagonal form for =
DarI-,he ease with which the stock
can be fed.
In the plan illustrated the feed floor
is lighted by a large window in front
and by the light that is admitted in
great abundance behind the cattle.

expected to supply great part of tine

made for the storing of hay and other
roughage. The space over the stalls

is given up to this. The hay is hauled in
at the main doorway and carried
about to it's destination by fork, or
it can be put in from the outside

under the caves Where the building
is located upon sloping ground a cell

had.

TIE COW AT EIGHT.

Many dairy1nen and others who milk
cows for profit believe that when 2
COW reaches the age Of seven or eight
her useful years are over, and that she
should be replaced by one younger,
says a writer in the New York Trib-
une. But, other things being equal,
this is mistake. 4 cow that has
been well cared for, with generous ra-
tons and proper attention given tc
her comfort, through all seasons OF
the year: is better and will make a
more proftabl return at eight years
old than at an earlier age; in other
words, she is in her prime, and she
will continue in this condition several
years, and will not be considered an
old cow until IA OR Is years have
passed Cows with first calves-at two
or three years-are generally un-
profitable in their milk yield, and
a really good cow between seven and
eight years old will pay better reve-
nue. than two that are performing
their first years duties in the dairy
herd and she Will probably consume
but little more food than one Of the
younger ones This fact is worthy
of the consideration of those who are

AN OCTAGONAL BARN.
siderable Space AID In Just the
Thing for Dairy Earns.

The octagona1 shape has been used
here and hereabout the country for
barns and other buildings, and with
generally satisfactory results. It
seems, therefore, somewhat strange
that with these few satisfactory ex-
amples before them our barn-buIders
have not given more serious thought
to this style Of building, especially as
an octagon presents no difficult prob
lens in construction, and lends itself
admirably to giving very large
amount of available space for stock
ard for the storage of fodder.
As an illustration of this idea a cut
and an indoor plan of an octagoral
dairy barn are presented herewith.
By this plan large amount Of space
is afforded for cattle stalls, while still
giving space for calf pens, a box stall
for cows and a grain and implement
room. IN the ordinary barn the silo
must come out of space that might
otherwise be utilized for stock. Here
it occupies the center of the barn, and
is Itself octagonal in share-a style
that highly commends itself to the
dairyman, since it does away with the

Fat Globules in MIX.

It has been estimated that drop Of
milk contains about $50, 10000 fat glo-
bules, and that they number about
2,ooo, 600, 600 in a quart OF the liquid. It
is matter of common knowledge that
the size of fat globules IN cows milk
varies with different cows and differ
ent breeds, and it has been estimated
th>,t the diameter of the largest
globu1es is 614 times greater than the
smallest globuHes, the difference in vol
ume being as PA is to /. These details
are perhaps sufficient in connection
with matter which is of great prac-
tical interest, inusmuch as it takes
longer time to cream milk with small
globules a. we'll as to churn the cream
produced therefrom, and the liquid is
also stated to cream less perfectly
than milk with large globules-

illustra ton. It is quite simple of con-
struction.
First arrange light piece Of rope
upon the animals head as a halter,
then pass between the animals forelegs
and around the body just back Of the
shoulders, making it secure. Have the
connecting rope just long enough so
that the animal can raise it's head to q
natural position, and no higher. and it
will be sure to stay in the lot and at
the same time suffer no torture further
than it's possible desire to get out;
for in order to jump over fence, an
animal must always raise it's head
above the normal position. and this it
cannot do when thus hampered. To
prevent the foreleg from getting over
the rope while the animal is feeding,
it is a wise precaution to have it held
up close to the breast by light cord
passing around the neck as shown. OF
course, the rope will stretch little by
little with use, and accordingly all
slack should be promptly taken up as
required.-Fred o. Sibley, in Ohio
