A FEW DAIRY POINTERS.

Use great care in turning to pasture.
Give good feeding of hay in the morn
ing and do not leave them out al
day.
Do not leave the herd out in the
showers. The rains are cold in June
even, and loss will result if careless in
this respect.
Take the world over, there are more
good cows and sensible men than there
are poor cows and fools. The trouble
is to get the wise men ;and good COWS
together. When we do this fewer men
will be complaining that "dairyin' don't
pay"
Sour milk may not be relished quite
so much by calves at first, but it is a
good thing to raise calves on if they
cannot have it sweet invariably. A
change of food from sweet to sour oc-
casionally is detrimental to growth,
and often begins scours.
1t should cost you about seven cents
day to feed your cow-S25 year.
Ifyou practice good principles of farm
ing, her manure should offset the cost
of shelter and labor. Now, if you don't
get enough to pay for the feed, don't
keep her.-Farm Journal.

conductor came around for her fare, stuck

compartments of the same, extracted a
couple of foulard samples and, with that
PARKWAY expression still in her eyes, handed
them to the conductor. The conductor was
a middle-aged man. He smiled and waited
for the young woman to come out of her
trance. But she held the foulard samples
out to him with her eyes on vacancy, until
the conductor, still grinning, had to fetch

CALVES FOR MARKET.
Where There Ii Small Demand
for MIX or Cream.

1t is not improbable work to raise
calves for market in localities where
milk and cream are not easily sold at
remunerative prices, and if one goes
in for this object he can with little
study find considerable to increase his
income. OF course in dairying dis
tricts where there is good market
for butter and milk this work might
not prove very profitable. but there
are many farmers so situated that it
is impossible to make much from the
milk and cream. There is very little
expense in feeding the young calves
if kept only until they are seven to
ten months old and then sold. Some
times we have found good calf that
was worth more to us to keep for
breeding purposes than for selling to
the butcher, and we have thus added
materially to our stock. The average
calf, however raised, should bring
from $40 to $35 each when eight or
nine months old. When the calf is
born, instead of taking it from the
mother it is allowed to run with her
until ready for the butcher. Very
often likely calf in this way can be
sold to purchasers on the lookout for
fine cattle, and they will bring far
more than if sold to the butcher. For
instance, last year we sold one such
animal to a neighbor for $40. The
calf was from good grade of Short
horn, and it had all the indications
of developing into good breeding an
imal 1t was ten months OF age and
was well worth the money it fetched.
In raising these calves there is lit
tie or no expense or outlay, and the
gain in the few months they are kept
represents nearly all profit There
will be considerable milk and cream
obtained from the cows even when
the calves are running with them, and
one might easily sell enough dairy
products to pay for the feed of the
mothers if there was any nearby
market. Those living in good dairy
districts might not find this profit
able way of handling their herd, but
it goes to show that one need not
be entirely discouraged if the price
of dairy products is way down. Last
year we had ten calves which we
raised until they were from eight to
ten months old, and we sold the lot
for various prices The total received
was $26o.55, which on the whole we
considered paid us pretty well. In ad-
dition to this we sold about $50 worth
of cream and milk and butter and
kept large family supplied with all
that was needed of these products.
Another year we shall repeat this op-
Grafton if we cannot get decent prices
for the dairy products. which up in
this country is not an easy matter

MULES FOR LORD ROBERTS.
New Orleans to Send 10000 in Addi-
ton to 10000 That Have Al
ready Been Shipped.

1t is announced that the British
war Office has decided to order the
shipment from New Orleans of a
fourth batch of 10000 mules and a
large number of horses for the serv-
ice of the British army in South Afri-
ca; that of the American mules al
ready sent there many thousands have
become panic-stricken in recent mill
tary movements and have escaped or
been rendered useless, and that Gen.
Roberts advance has been postponed
until he can obtain enough mules for
the transportation of his supplies and
horses for remounts, reports the New
York Sun.
The customhouse statistics show the
shipment to date of 10000 mules from
New Orleans, of total value of ST.
979,S75 and of 1922 horses of a value
of $154,312, the mules averaging sos
each and the horses $1O2. The ship.
ments are now being made at the rate
of about 1000 a month or cargo
every week. The shipment of mules
to South Africa and other transport
duty has resulted in the withdrawal
from the regular service of New Or
leans of no fewer than SO ships, Grip
ping to some extent the regular COM
mercial lines of importation, but this
loss has been more than made good
by the great increase given to the
horse and mule trade as well as the
shipment of hay, food and other sup
plies to South Africa. Previous to the
recent shipment to South Africa, no
horses had been exported to foreign
ports through New Orleans.
While nothing official has been
stated as to these purchases, from the
opinions expressed of the officers max
ing the shipments, it is believed that
the horse and mule export business
will be kept up all summer, and that
the shipment will exceed the 10000 ex.

BARBER GOT 1T MIXED.
In Relating q Little Joke He, After

THE AMERICAN INDIAN.
Some Interesting Facts and Figure,
Concerning POor Lo of
To-Day.

Excluding the members of the five
civilized tribes and the Indians in Alas
ka, says correspondent of the Chi
cago Record, there are 1S5,947 Indians
in this country, of whom 90,95O now
wear citizens dress wholly and 4O,6O5
in part. The tepees are rapidly dis.
appearing and being displaced by
comfortable cabins.
The Indians cannot readily sell their
wares unless they are prepared crude
ly Or decorated after the method of
their savage ancestors. That retards
development. Many of them have
artistic ideas and mechanical train
ing, yet to dispose of their handiwork
they initiate the primitive designs of
their forefathers. They are going
back to beaded leggings because eurio
hunters will pay more for the rude
and gaudy articles. Instead of manu-.
featuring their own dyes as formerly,
they now use patent dyes.
A pottery was recently established
at Zuni, in which it was proposed to
instruct the Indians that they might
improve, and arrangements were
made for them to glaze their wares.
But they refuse, because the unglazed,
old-fashioned pottery sells better, and
porous jugs arc preferred because
they keep the water cooler.

Stimulation of Labels.
Brent Good, president of the Carter

KEEPING MILK PURE.
The Only Way to Do 1t IL to Remove
the Fluid from the Stable rs
Quickly ns Possible.

We have no conception as to how
long a time it will require for science
and experiment to destroy the foolish
belief that warm milk will not absorb
odors. 1t is to be regretted, however,
that such an opinion exists, for it is
the cause of the contamination of large
quantities of milk. AS the result of
some experiments, conducted by the
writer, it was demonstrated that warm
milk was even more susceptible to the
absorption of odors than cold milk
was. The samples of warm milk that
were used were more fully charged
with the odor of manure than the SAM
Piles of cold milk were. and all the sam
Piles were exposed under precisely the
same conditions. In other experiments,
conducted at one of our experiment
stations, it was observed that fresh
cow urine tainted the warm milk much
more quickly, and to higher degree.
than it did milk that was in a cold
condition.
1t would appear that enough has
been done on this line to put dairy
men on their guard and to convince
all that instead of warm milk throwing
off doors, it absorbs them. AT all events,
we have the right to expect that the
dairyman will endeavor to avoid dan
ger, and remove the milk from the
stable at once. 1t is not much trouble
to do this; and it should not be forgot
ten that even in the very cleanest
stables there are doors that will not
help the flavor of milk. 1t is absolutely
impossible to keep a stable clean
enough to prevent some odors, and
that would be true if the milking were
done in the parlor, for the cow herself
is the source of odor, more or less dis
tinct, and is liable at any time to ere
ate very destructive odors, Keep on

Turnip. and MtIk FIavor.

When strong favored foods. like
turnips, are to be fed, it, should be
after milking and not before. The
controversy over the feeding of tur-
nips has simmered down to this. In
the past many men have refused to
feed turnips, asserting that it gave
the milk turnip taste. 1t has finally
come to be recognized that the flavor
gets into it through the air that is
in the stable at milking time. or. at
least, if the flavor does go through the
COW, it is eliminated before the next
milking time comes around. provided
the feeding is done after and not be.

The weight of Fresh MIX.

1t is generally estimated that a
quart of milk weighs two pounds. But
this is only approximate. Getting
down to scientific basis we find that
it is safe to figure a quart at 2.15
pounds. One so-called authority re-
duces it to a finer basis than this, and
figures a cubic foot of milk at 64H
pounds. A cubic foot will make 7.495
gallons, and, taking this as basis,
we have the weight of one gallon as
1924, and carrying out the division
we have the weight Of quart, 2.156
pounds. But milk rich in cream
would weigh less, than milk contain
ing little cream, for the reason that
the cream is lighter than the other
elements in the milk.-Farmers' Re-
