If you are opposed to good
roads and stock law, the meet
ing TO be held next Monday
will give you an opportunity
Ct ventilating you, opinions.
You will learn mucL by being
present, make sacrifices if too
busy, and come and you will re-
ceive hartv welcome by those
who may differ with you.
Mr.. Miles Saunders, of Nor
folk County, Va, and Mr.. J. N.
Winslow, of Perquimans county

his paper, and nine times out of
ten you'll hit it dead centre as
to what kind of a man he is.
If the dumb animals, the horses
and mules, could speak, they
would assuredly endorse the ef-
fort that is being made to get
better roads They have the
burden of hauling upon them.
Then use horse sense and lets
get down to work and see if
some means cannot be adopted
whereby We can secure better
roads.
There will be several very in
features connected
with the Stock Law Meeting
Monday. Among them several
communications from parties
from different sections of the

Leave 1t to the Cows.

Not long ago a farmer told us that he
thought it would have been money in
his pocket if he had begun to feed his
cattle at the barn week or two weeks
earlier but the fields looked SO green
that he thought there was enough good
feed there. Probably if he had left the
question to the cows and tested it by
offering them some good hay at night,
when they came up to be MIXED, they
would have let him know that the pas
ture was not rich enough in nutritive
qualities if it was sufficient in quantity.
Frost bitten grass has but little value,
and we think the growth in the cold, wet
and usually cloudy weather Of the
early spring and late fall is not as nu-
tritious as that which grows from June
to September just as grass grown in a
dense shade is less valuable than that
which has the sunlight upon it. Begin
ming to add little hay ration to the
pasture feed for few weeks before the
cattle are confined to the barn makes
the change is character of food more
gradual and in this case at least and
in many others it would have prevented
a shrinkage of so pounds weight on
each animal, which it will take several
bushels of grain to put back again
There were also some cold rains and
winds in October and November when
the cattle should have been in the barn
or shed instead of in the pasture.

The Meriden Creamery company of
Meriden, Kan, find that their patrons
who know how to feed get from $40 to
800 income per year from each COW,
while the patrons who do not know how
to feed get from $1S to $25 per COW per
year, and that the net profits received
from each COW by their best patrons
are II times those received per COW by
their poorest, writes Mr.. H. NJ Cot
trel. They also find that some of their
patrons get no profit whatever from the
skimmilk, while others who know how
to feed it get from % to so cents from
each 100 pounds of skimmilk fed. As
there are 5000 pounds of skimmilk
from each good COW yearly the way
it is handled makes great difference
in the profits from dairying. The Meri-
den company believe that if their en-
ployees are thoroughly instructed in
these lines of feeding they can help the
farmers who sell milk to the creamery
to largely increase the farmers profits
and at the same time increase the profits
of the creamery. For this reason the
stockholders of the Meriden company
have decided to send all their employ
ees to the Kansas dairy school at Man
haitian and require them while there to
make special study of feeding dairy
cows and Of feeding skimmilk to calves
and hogs

How to Keep the stable In Healthy
Condition.

How to Keep the Stable In Healthy
Condition.
If you are so much afraid of disease
in the stable all you have to do is to
keel. the air pure by keeping the stable
reasonably clean and using road dust
or plaster as a disinfectant, writes Mr..
L. s. Hardin in Home and Farm.
Having done this and bedded the
cows with straw, leaves or other cheap
stuff, worth more than its cost for
manure, then comes the question of wa
tering the cows. Most dairymen turn
the cows out twice day to water but
in very cold or wet weather, and espe-
cially when the water is considerable
distance from the stable, this is cruel
practice, especially when the ground is
covered with ice or frozen snow.
To overcome this difficulty many
progressive farmers are leading the wa
ter into the stables with pipes and lay
ing these pipes deep enough to make
the water comparatively warm in win
ter, for all acknowledge that it requires
great waste of food to warm up COW
that gets chilled with drinking ice wa
ter. / once ran water pipes under the
managers ara had a tub sunk in the
ground IN each stall so the COW could
drink at will. This proved miserable
failure, because the cows were con-
stantly dropping food into the tubs,
and in warm weather this would fer
ment and make the water foul
Not only this, but water standing
open in cow stable rapidly absorbs
all the bad smells that come over it. A
large cistern covered with tight floor
in shed adjoining the COW stable could
not be kept sweet enough for use. The
only way to keep the water pure enough
for the COWS to drink it is to have the
basins out of which they drink only
large enough to hold the amount they
need at one drinking, and let the water
all out of it when the COW is through.
Once day would perhaps be often
enough to dry out the basin, provided
each one was kept clean of ground food
that the COW drops in it from her mouth.
Speaking Of ground food getting in
the water basins and fermenting, this
is one great trouble, especially in warm
weather, about the managers. There are
always little cracks that cows force
the meal into, and they lick around it
until it gets wet and then in a few
hours that meal has got to fermenting,
and the flies lay eggs in it, and then
the maggots. The wise dairyman will
look out for this trouble and see that
every manager is brushed out clean after
the cows are fed and at the same time
note which cows have refused some of
their ration, and see that next time she
gets only so much as she will eat up
clean, even if a little salt must be sprin-
killed. over it to help her appetite.

1DARY (RIEAIMIERY.l

FEEDING DAIRY COWS.
Interesting Tests by the Kansas Elk
pertinent Station.

Interesting Tests by the Kansas Ex-
pertinent Station.
Some dairy farmers feed their COWS
on the supposition that the less feed
consumed the greater the profit. 1t is
interesting in this connection to note
the difference in quantity and quality
of the feed given to the poorest five
herds and contrast it with that given to
the best FIVE herds out of SO herds of
Meroden creamery patrons investigated
by the Kansas experiment station dur
ing the summer of 1898. One herd out
of the poorer five received no grain dur
ing the year, three received ear corn as
their sole grain ration, and the fifth
herd received little oats and rye in
connection with cornmeal. For rough
ness, only one herd out of the five re-
ceived any clover, the rest being fed on
millet, prairie hay or corn fodder.
With one exception the best five herds
received oats, bran or shorts in connec-
ton with the corn fed, and in most
cases the roughness of corn fodder or
millet was balanced with alfalfa or
clover. The composition of the feeds
given to the five poorest herds shows that
they contain entirely too much carbohy-
drates and fat in proportion to the
amount of protein, the element in feed
that is absolutely necessary in the man
ufacture of milk. The feed given to the
best five herds approached more nearly
to balanced ration" for the reason
that bran, OATS shorts alfalfa and clio
yer contain a larger percentage of pro-
tein.
Now let us look at results. Not all
the difference in the income of these
herds is to be attributed to the feed,
but larger part of it can be. Suppose
we estimate the cost of keeping COW at
$15 per annum for the poorest five
herds, which sum is doubtless below &C
tual cost, and one-third more, or $50
per COW, for the best five herds. There
would then be 49, Oh annual profit per
cow from the poorest herd and $34. 3S
annual from the best herd, difference
of $31. "a per COW. This means that one
COW from the best herd brings as much
clear cash to man as II cows from the
poorest herd If we take the average of
the poorest five herds there is a profit of
So. SO per COW, while from the best five
herds the profit amounts to $50. 13, a
difference of 1864. In other words,
one COW from the best herds will bring
a man as much clear profit as three cows
from the poorest herds.
1t should ever be borne in mind that
it requiressa certain amount of feed to
keep up the animal machine, just as it
requires certain amount of feed to run
an empty locomotive, and that the profit
comes from the feed eaten over and
above that necessary for animal susie
nance, just as the efficiency of a loco
motive comes from the fuel consumed
over and above that necessary to move
its own weight. Economy along the line
of withholding feed from good dairy
COW is false economy. 1t is simply ex-
travagance. ID. H. Otis.
