above manager. The ditch is 16 inches
wide and nine inches deep and COM
pletely waterproof, and platform made
OF inch oak made double, with joints
broken so they are wind and water

about zen inches and allows the COW full
liberty to lie down and get up without
moving from where standing, and per-
feet freedom with her head while lying
down.
Without hesitation we can say that
this stall is the most human one we

COLORING THE BUTTER.
A Conservative and Apparently Com.
mendabIe View of an Important
Dairy Problem.

I have fed cows for a good many
years, writes a dairyman. 1 have used
about all the different feeds that have
been recommended a good for the cow,
and have thus far failed to find n
feed or combinations of food that would
color butter at all times of year so as to
suit Jul trade. Some breeds, notably
the Guernsey, are said to color their
butter the right tint the year round.
1 suppose there are individuals in all
strains that will do this, but they are
few and far between. l have owned a
great many cows, some as good as one
can find, but have never owned a half
dozen that put color enough in their
butter in the winter time, no matter
what I fed them. So I have given that
up as a failure and laid it away with
the ENTHUSIASTICALLY and the feed
Observation-Disclosures theories. There
they lie, triplets and fads. I have never
tried f1avoring with carrots, as some of
u anti-artificial friends suggest and
practice, and l don't say that would not
have the desired effect, but if there is
any wrong in coloring butter outside
the COW it looks to me like being equal
ly wrong to have old Brindle color it for
me with carrots. and by coloring it
ourselves we do not smirch the charac-
ter of our cows.-Western Plowman.

famous physician.

When Or. Aver announced his sarsapa-
rilla TO the world, he at once fcund the
physicians his friends. Sch a remedy
was what they had looked for. and they
were prompt to appreciate its merits and
prescribe 1t. Perhaps no medicine-Lnown

diseases, and sores of long standing, old
ulcers, chronic rheumatism. and MANY

This stall is not only in use at Maple
Valley farm, but also in hundreds of
dairy farms all over the United States,
with testimonies of their wonderful sue
cess in giving comfort and cleanliness
to cows confined in them. The con-
struction is simple, cheap and practical,
as will be seen from the description be-
low:
The floor can be constructed in any
form that may suit the builder-clay,
cement or plank-with a fall of about
two inches in the whole length of plat
form, which is six feet six inches. Two
three by three stringers are placed on
top of platform IS inches apart from
out to out and toe-nailed fast. An inch
board II inches wide is nailed on top
and the flange board in front of cow
fits in a rabbit of one inch to make
waterproof. The five-foot two by four
post is toenailed at point in corner Of
manger.
Beginning at the top a board six
inches wide is nailed on and following
down with three-inch lath at closer in
~tervals. If a shorter COW is TO be stalled
these lath should be placed on the side
next to the COW, and if a heifer some
times moved even farther than the four
inches toward the gutter. This fea-

The Production of Milk.

L. S. Hardin, in the Jersey Bulletin,
says: "Let us follow a mouthful of
grass through the cow and see whether
we can locate the end of the cow that
does the most work. The jaws tear it
off and chew it; the stomach and intes-
tines digest it; the ducts then carry it
to the heart; that sends it to the lungs
and back again to the heart, whence it
is driven to the udder. where it is
turned into milk. If that is the true
history of a bite of grass, it looks as
though nine-tenths of the work was
done 'for'ard of 'midships,' as they
say at sea. What the pelvic arch has to
do with all this may be plain enough to
the faithful, but it is beyond my COM
prehension." The fat is put into the
milk in the udder-not in the lungs OF
