HINTS FOR DAIRYMEN.

Those people who consider milking
irksome will never make good dairy
men.
1t is not always the man with the
biggest herd of cows who clears the
most money from his dairy.
Gilt edged butter is more to be de-
sired on the average customers plate
than any delicacy of the season.
1t is a parody on cleanliness to try
to strain filth out of milk when it
might have been obviated by the ex
ercise of the most ordinary precau
tions.
1t is a curious fact, and yet true,
that some of the most profitable mo-
ments anyone engaged in dairying
can spend are liz repeated washing of
the hands.
While it pays to raise hogs in con-
junction with the dairy, it never has
or never will pay the mandatory to
keep the swine quartered near cheese
factory or creamery. - Nebraska

TREAT THE COWS WELL.
1t Does Not Pay TO Make Dairyfng
Subservient to Any other Work
ON the Farm.

When we talk about preserving the
quality of milk in lot weather we must
remember that some milk keeps bet
ter than others. l mean by this that
there are different grades of resistance
to the action of degenerative bacteria,
and that some milk will keep sweet
and pure longer than other kinds I'M
der the same conditions. How is this
to be accounted for? one would nat
urally ask. First, the healthfulness
and vigor of the cow in great meas
ure warrant the healthfulness and pur-
ity of her milk, as does also the char
acter of the food she eats. Pure,
healthy milk will not sour or faint pre-
maturely unless under the most ad-
verse atmospheric conditions. One
frequent cause of rapid degenerative
change in milk in hot weather, a cause
that is too often overlooked, is the
overheating of cows prior to milking
To rush cows into the stable from the
pasture night or morning is to eX-
cite them sufficiently physically to
heat their milk to feverish
point, quickly undermining it's quail
ity. So in order to preserve milk
in hot weather, aeration, ice and
cold water are a mockery unless
the cows are kept cool and free from
irritation. For this reason I have no
use for even the most intelligent dogs
to assist in driving cows to and from
the pasture. The presence of such a
dog is sure to excite some nervous, SEN
sitive cow, and such are usually the
best mixers, and her tactical yield, if
alone affected, will leaven the product
of the whole herd. Cows should al
ways be handled and driven very de-
liberately, and SO none but experienced
people who can always control their
temper should be put about them Get
up early enough in the morning so
that you will not have to hurry the
cows in from pasture, and quit field
work early enough at night for the
same reason. When a farmer ceases to
consider dairying simply as doing
Chores" but regards it as one of the most
important interests he has on his place,
then, and then only, is he prepared to
make his cows pay. Never make dairy
ing subservient to other work unless
you have no need of a dairy income

Neatness I'm Butter Packages.

A creamery that has a reputation
of neatness in packing finds itself
sought not only by the commission
men, but by large grocers that want
an article that looks well. This mat
ter of looks is especially important in
butter that goes to the homes of the
wealthy. They will form opinions on
the looks of things. Two packages of
butter may be similar in quality, but
if one is put up in better style than
the other the buyers are prejudiced
in favor Of that package, and the
eaters, if they have seen the package,
will actually imagine that the butter
is of better flavor. This helps sales

WHY NOT FEED WHEAT?
At Present Prices Stock Farmers ~
Well as Dairymen Could Make
Money In This Way.

At time like the present when wheat
is bringing a comparatively low price
it is very important matter to
farmers to make the best possible use
of the crop. And when, as now, corn is
high many farmers are considering
the best possible economy of feeding
wheat to their live stock rather than
sending it to the mills. This is ques-
ton of the utmost Importance to the
farmers of the northwest, and, incl
dentally, to the whole country, for
whatever makes the farmers, more
prosperous makes the towns and cities
more prosperous.
70 assist in solving this problem for
the farmers Prof. Snyder, of the Min
nesota Agricultural Experiment sta
ton, has just compiled bulletin show
ing the results of experiments in feed
ing wheat, made by the. various expert
ment stations of the country during
q few years past. This brings to-
gether mass of practical informa ton
on the subject and may be taken as
authoritative.
At the Minnesota station it was DEM
onstrated that ground wheat was 10
per cent. more digestible than when
fed whole, but slightly less digesti-
BILE than corn. But a mixture of the
two feeds was found to be better than
either one fed separately. This was
also shown at the tests at the Wiscon-
sin station where an average of 400
pounds of ground wheat was required
to produce 100 pounds gain in live
weight of hogs, while 49S. pounds of
corn. produced the same results; but
when wheat and corn were mixed in
equal parts, only 4S5 pounds of the
feed were necessary to produce a. gain
of 100 pounds in weight of the animals.
The bulletin gives account of many
other very interesting experiments
which are well worth reading by the
intelligent farmer. But the gist of the
whole matter is found in the summary
at the close which says:
1.-THE results obtained when wheat
was fed at the various experiment sta
tions show that, as food for grow
ing pigs, it is somewhat preferab BILE to
corn. The best results, however, are
obtained when wheat is ground and
fed with other grains. A mixture of
equal parts of ground wheat and corn
gives better results than either wheat
or corn when fed alone. Experiments
show that ground wheat is ten per
cent. more digestibie than whole
wheat. When the price of wheat is low
and it can be purchased for the same
price per pound or less than corn, it
will pay to use wheat in ration. The
manure from wheat-fed animals is
more valuable than from corn-fed an
imals. AS food for dairy animals
ground wheat has been found to be
fully equal to corn or mixture of corn
and barley, and when fed to fattening
steers ground wheat produced about
the same results in ration ground
corn. From the experiments that have
been conducted, it would appear that
the value of wheat, as food, depends,
to great extent, on the way in which it
is fed, and the foods with which it is
combined. When properly used and
combined with other grains, wheat is
a valuable animal food In addition to
its being equal to corn for fattening
animals, and superior to corn for
growing animals, it is also equal to
corn in dairy ration"

PLAN OF COW STALL.
It Saves Feed, Lessons Labor and Is

The great principle that makes this

QUALITY OF LIVE STOCK.

1t was pleasurable surprise to
note the high quality of the stock. The
average of quality in cattle is higher
than the average of cattle in our State,
unless in the dairy classes. This opin-
ion is not reached rashly or without
ample opportunity for investigation.
/ spent three long days in the show
ring at Winnipeg making the awards
in the beef classes. 1 question if any
of our states, single handed, could
make such showing in cattle. 1t was
my privilege to make the awards at
several shows, and at all of them
were evidences that much attention is
given to the improvement of the stock.
1 noted carefully the character of the
herds that grazed along the railroad
and everywhere the high average of
the quality of the stock was in evi.
dence.
REASONS FOR QUALITY IN STOCK.
The quality of the grass is
good. Many of the settlers came
from Ontario, and had been schooled
as to the value of good stock before
going west. The railroads and the
Government have taken a deep in
terest in making it less difficult and
costly to the farmers to secure good
males.

Fatal Hunting Accident.

While out hunting, in company
with John Speak, last Friday
afternoon, Harry Eyler, of near
JimtOwn, i'll the northern part of
the county, was accidentally shot
and killed. The fatal shot was
fired from his own gun.
Eyler and Speak were hunting
not far from the formers home.
They were about fifty yards apart
when Speak, hearing the report
of Eller's gun, looked towards
him and saw him fall. Speak
hurried to his companion and
found him lying upon the ground,
with blood flowing from a wound
i'll his right side, above the hip.
His gun was lying beside him
and it was found later that one
of the shells it contained had
been discharged.
Eyler lived for about an hour
after the accident, but was un-
able to talk and it is not known
just how the shooting occurred.
No inquest was held
Eyler was about 20 years of
age. He was married and had
one child. His funeral took
place Monday morning.
