Sugar Beet Pulp For Cows.

At the jacksonville Cali factory
sugar beet pulp sells all the way from
% to 80 cents per ton. As it can be
held a long time in the silo and is fed
to best advantage when old, it is avail
able the entire year. According to
Totes collected by r. \. Pearson of the
dairy division at Washington. publish
ed in a recent bulletin, the fresh pulp
is piled or placed in a silo. This silo
is very crude. 1t also costs very lit
tie. The pulp is very soft when first
put in and generally settles considera-
bly,. OF course the top layers decay,
and after q time the entire mass is COW
cred with a protecting layer three to
six inches thick. In few months the
individual pieces Of beets, originally
two or three inches long and quite slen-
der, are broken down. and the material
reminds one of cold mush, grayish
brown in color. Three tons Of the
fresh pulp make about one ton when
cured.

In the milk during milking, which
there multiplies so rapidly as to soon
make the milk bitter writes DR.. Smead
In The National Stockman. Well, that
may be true sometimes, but more times
it is not true in my experience. Some
cows long in location will produce a
bitter, nauSeouS milk by reason of 4
natural change going on in their own
system. Of this am fully convinced,
and have so expressed myself in a
previous article. In other cases a COW
badly fed will give bitter milk, or 4
diseased condition of the udder will
do the same. The latter we can easily
find out by simply milking each teat
separately and thus find which quarter
Is producing this kind of milk, as it is
rare indeed that each quarter is ailing.
Not so when the cows liver or di-
gestion Is deranged. Then all the teats
will furnish bitter milk. The same
Is true when the length of lactation is
the cause. 1t is therefore important
to know about these things before pre-
scribing. The COW whose habit is to
give bitter milk when five, six or seven
months in lactation had better be dried
off and sold for beef. The one whose
liver or digestion is off should have 4
pound of epson salts given as physic
and two drains of powdered man
drake root to stimulate her liver into
proper action. This should be followed
by half ounce doses of powdered hypo-

MONEY IN CALVES.
success Largely a Question of Prop
err Methods.


Success liz calf raising depends upon
the methods pursued on the farm, says
W. E. Edwards in The American Gull
tivatOr. If a farmer permits his calf to
run with the mother right along, there
is little or no profit in the work. By
the time the calf is weaned then the
dam is dry, and about all the profit she
represents for the whole years keep is
the price received for the calf. 1t hard
~ pays for the ordinary expenses Of
feeding and sheltering the COW. Tn
less we can make the milk of the dam
pay for the cows cost of keeping it is
more profitable to put the money in
some other line of work.
There is no necessity of letting the
calf run with the dam beyond few
days after birth. The creature can
then be weaned and fed on skimmilk,
with a little bran and grain. until ready
for the market. The heavy milk yield
of the dam can be sold for butter or
cream, and the profits obtained in this
way should eliminate the loss that
might otherwise occur. On the best
diaries this is the common practice,
and the methods differ only in slight
details. A dairyman who permits the
calves to run with the dams is hardly
up to date sufficiently to make sue
cess.
The problem we have before us where
calves are raised for market is to adopt
such methods of feeding as will make
the skimmilk calves almost as heavy
and valuable as the calves that run
with their dams. When we succeed in
this. we can count upon a profit that
las never before been realized in calf
raising 1t has been done time and
again in recent years. and on some
first class dairies the pure bred calves
for the show rings have been fed en-
tirely on skimmilk.
A calf should be allowed to run with
the mother ND to the fourth or fifth
day. at which time the cows milk
should be in excellent condition for
market purposes: then take the calf
away from the mother and keep it off
all food for about one day or night
By this time it will be so hungry that
it will take almost anything. and can
be easily taught to drink. Its first
meals should be of whole milk, fed at
the rate of four pounds in the morning.
four at night and two in the middle
of the day. The milk should be warm
ed to the natural temperature Of the
dams milk The whole milk diet
should be kept up for about two weeks.
and then gradually should be trans
ferred to a skimmilk diet.
This change should be made at the
rate of half a pound of skimmilk every
two or three days. When the calf is on
skimmilk. the quantity must be in
creased. At first 10 to Il pounds day
may satisfy the creature, but in time
this will have to be increased to IS, 20
and "A pounds. A little f1axseed iellv

We know that we can raise as good
calves upon skimmilk as upon the
whole milk, for we have done it. We
have taken the calf from the COW when
day old and fed her milk for week
or ten days. then began to mix skim
milk with the new milk until at 3
weeks old it was using all skimmilk in
