Economy of Sheltering the Cow.

No doubt it pays to shelter a good
dairy cow any winter that she is CIV
ing milk, but the high price of feed
during the coming winter will drive
the shelter problem home with much
greater force than usual, says D. III.
Otis in Kansas Farmer. A milk cow
that is worthy of the name is cOncen-
trating her efforts in producing large
yield at the pail. If she must divert
her attention from this noble purpose
and spend her energies in keeping up
the animal heat Of the body, surely she
could not be expected to do her best
at the milk pail. To make the dairy
cow profitable this coming winter no
effort should be spared to keep her at
the maximum production with an
economical expenditure of feed. To
do this good but not necessarily ex-
pensive shelter should be provided.
The dry COWS and young stock, on
the other hand, do not need great
deal of shelter. A shed open to the
south, situated if possible in wood
lot, will answer the purpose very
well. Quarters of this kind will help
to develop strong, hardy constitutions,
q quality that is just as desirable III
dairy as in beef animals.

The dairyman of today is Of necessity
a breeder of swine, says Minnesota
dairyman in American Cultivator. The
two go together so thoroughly that it
would be a waste of good material and
opportunity to neglect either. There
can be no doubt that nature intended
that the pigs should be the companions
of the COWS in the clover field. But
more than that-the swine should be
fed on the skimmilk that comes from
the dairy. Pigs and shotes will thrive
on this skimmilk as on nothing else.
The milk fed in this way will yield a
larger profit than if sold in the ordi-
nary market, where only a few cents a
quart can be obtained and often not
that. The waste Of time and material
in trying to find a good market for
skim milk is the most discouraging fea-
ture of the dairy business. Many a
man has been induced to leave the bust
ness entirely on account Of this. After
settling up his accounts for the year he
has found that he was actually no gain
er for the years work.

Beavers Teeth.

Of the cutting power Of the beavers
teeth Frank H. Risteen says in Rod
and Gun:
1.-THE beaver is really sort of porta-
BILE pulp mill, grinding up most any
kind of wood that comes his way.
once measured white birch tree, %
inches through, cut down by beaver.
A single beaver generally, if not al
ways, amputates the tree, and when it
comes down the whole family fall to
and have a regular frolic with the bark
and branches. A big beaver will bring
down a fair sized sapling, say three
inches through, in about two minutes
and large tree in about an hour.
zone Of the queerest facts about the
beaver is the rapidity with which his
long, chisel shaped teeth Will recover
from an injury. I have known beavers
to break their teeth in biting a trap,
and when I caught them again ten
days afterward you couldn't see sign
of the break. The teeth had grown out
to their former perfection in that short
period"

with considerable space between the
hooks. A cow Of, say, 1000 pounds
weight would do we'll to carry her
hooks six inches apart at the least.
The purpose Of this is to allow ample
room for the suspension Of the udder
between the legs. If the animal is
what is called 'cOw hooked" then the
hooks come together and the toes turn
out, and a cramped, ungainly rear part
results. The thighs Of this dairy COW
should also be thin and not feShy,
thereby permitting a width of the I'D
der in it's upper part that is highly de-
sired. Legginess is also undesirable
in the COW. The appearance which we
admire in her should always be indica-
tive of her fitness for the work we ex-
pect on her part.
There are other features in the dairy
COW that might be touched upon, but
already the writer has covered these in
other articles There is always the de-
STABILITY Of the broad, level back and
splendid spring and depth of rib, with
large body capable of great feeding ca
pacity. The dairy cow is somewhat
longer bodied that the beef type and
has more space between the ribs and
greater space from hip to rib than the
beef cow She also has longer, thin
ner neck and leaner head.

Treatment of Sore Teats.

The proper thing to do to treat each
case on it's merits, but perhaps the
most useful dressing to keep on hand
for general purposes, is camphor and
elder ointment Any chemist will sup
ply you with such a compound, or it
may be made by mixing one-half ounce
of finely powdered camphor with four
ounces of elder ointment. Another use
full dressing, especially when flies are
troublesome, is the glycerin and car
bolic acid. In many cases it is necessa-
nv to draw off the milk by means OF q
teat tube or siphon. A laxative dose,
II to 1G ounces Of Epson salts, is use
full in cases of erythema mammillarum.

Curiositfes of the Cacao Tree.

The cultivation of cacao, says writer
in The Scientific American, is an invit-
ing agricultural pursuit in Trinidad
and parts of Venezuela. The cacao tree
cannot withstand strong sunshine, and
the young plants have to be shaded by
banana or plantain trees and later,
when they attain their growth, by tall
trees known as 'fmmortelles," or the
mother of the cacao." These make a
kind of canopy over the entire planta-
ton. The fruit Of the cacao tree is pod
resembling cucumber and growing on
the trunk or large branches, where 1t
'looks as though it were artificially at
tached." The seeds are like large, thick
lima beans imbedded in pulp. These
form the cacao beans of commerce. The
processes of curing and drying require
much attention.

There are several reasons why the
farmers get tired of patronizing the
skimming stations, says 0. w. Lohn
| a man at the station called the topper
ator." After having been acquainted
with this gentleman for some time we
are forced to conclude that he was
never cut out for the business and the
position he fills He is in the business
simply because he cannot find anything
else to do that suits him.
He takes very little interest in his
patrons and prefers that they stay
away from the station as much as pos
sible. He never goes out to visit them
and knows so little about the dairy
business that he could not tell a beef
animal from dairy cow.
He has learned barely enough so that
he can weigh the milk run the ma
chinery and do the testing. I will say
that 1 would prefer for him not to
test my milk were I to patronize his
creamery.
The one aim of this class of operators
is to get the milk through the separator
as soon as possible and to clean up so
that they can have the rest of the day
to loaf around town. If the farmer
or milk. hauler happens for some rea-
son or other to be a little late with the
milk some morning, this kind Of an
operator will invariably growl and fuss
around as though he were running the
universe and wanted every one to
know it.
1t, Of course, would be unreasonable
to suppose that man Of this kind
would try to pasteuriZe the skimmllk,
so the farmer takes it home fully con-
WINGED that the "blame stuff is not
worth much anyhow, in which he is
right after it has been through our
skimming station operators tank. This
is the kind of men that preside at some
of our skimming stations, and they are
the ones that help to keep the price OF
butter fat down and make it disgusting
for the farmers to attempt to patronize
the creamery. 1t stands to reason that
it would be useless to attempt to raise
a good calf on the kind Of skimmill1
that is returned from such station.
Such an operator will not be careful to
examine the cans as they come in, and
the result is that the cans Of tainted
milk are turned right in with the sweet,
thus communicating the whole mess Of
milk. Is it any wonder that the farmer
stops sending milk to such q station?
Any one with good common sense
would do the same. The large COM
panies frequently make the mistake Of
hiring just such men as the ones have
described simply because they get them
cheap.

DON'T Excite Milk Cows.

To rush COWS into the stable from
the pasture night or morning is to ex-
cite them sufficiently physically to heat
their milk to a feverish point, quickly
undermining it's quality. So, in order to
preserve milk in hot weather, aeration,
ice and cold water are a mockery un-
less the COWS are kept cool and free
from irritation. For this reason have
no use for even the most Intelligent
dogs to assist in driving cows to and
from the pasture, says correspondent
Of Wisconsin Agriculturist.

CHOOSING A DAIRY COW.
Points Which Indicate Good MIX
Producing Qualities.


The best dairy cows must possess
quality, and the skin and fine bone
show these features in a fairly ac-
curate manner Long, coarse hair and
thick, stiff hide are most undesirable.
One should be able to grasp the skin liz
the hand along the front of the body
near the shoulders and pull it easily
from the body and almost wrap the
hand in it, if of the mellow sort desir-
ed. If it hangs tight to the body, it
may show lack of condition Or will in
dictate poor quality, says G. S. Plumb
in Rural New Yorker. This applies to
the skin over the udder as we'll as to
the rest of the body. People some
times ask for indications as to quality
of milk. Most dairy students desire a
yellow pigment to the skin, which is
most readily seen by examining the in
terror of the ears or is perhaps seen in
the lower part of the horns. This is
not always a correct indication, for
have seen a Holstein with good color
producing very low grade of milk
AS one stands behind a we'll devel-
oped dairy cow the hind legs should
come to the ground in good position,

Warts on Teat.

If there is a neck to the wart, tie q
small cord tight around it, and when
it sloughs off apply little terchloride
of anthony to destroy the roots. If
there is no neck, with blunt knife
scrape off the top until it bleeds; then
apply a little of the antimony every
third day until it is lower than the
surrounding skin; then mix one-half
ounce of oxide of zinc with one ounce
Of vaseline and apply a little once a
day to heal. If the cow is giving milk,
use the milk tube to draw off the milk
until cured.

Crude Petroleum.

From crude petroleum are made kero-

residue, is used for axle grease. and the
carbon is turned into sticks for electric

used for purifying the products of pc

f 5lRajStQlyy*:z9;

During the month of July the Kansas
experiment station realized $500 per
acre from pasturing sorghum, besides
having the field left to produce Sec
ond crop.
On July 1 twenty-seven milk COWS
were given all the alfalfa hay they
would eat and then turned into sor-
ghum field of 81 acres for fifteen min
utes. The sorghum was eighteen to
twenty-four inches high. The next day
they remained thirty minutes, the third
day forty-ive minutes, and so on, in
creasing fifteen minutes daily until they
reached one hour and thirty minutes,
when they were left to run at will. Dur
ing the transition period the cows were
given all the alfalfa hay needed to
keep up the normal flow of milk. For
the first nine days this amounted to
nearly twenty-four pounds daily per
head. After twelve days the COWS
were allowed to pasture the sorghum
at night as we'll as during the day. For
the rest of the month these COWS con-
sumed less than five pounds of alfalfa
daily per head.
If it had not been for the sorghum
pasture, it would have required at least
twenty-four pounds of alfalfa daily
per head to keep these cows up to a
good flow of milk. This would have
amounted to ten tons. AS it was, the
cows consumed only four and a half
I tons, making a saving of five and a
half tons. At $40 per ton Ga low price
| for this year, this would amount to
| $55, which divided between CT acres
would amount to saving in alfalfa
consumed Of $500 per acre.
