LOOK OUT FOR THE COWS.

Those who make dairying business
study how TO get the greatest profit
from their cows. They read the agri-
cultural papers, attend institutes and
conventions, and as rule. strive TO
keep their cows comfortable, factor
which they know TO be an important
one in connection with their business.
The man who keeps but few COWS
pays altogether too little attention to
his dairy interests. He does not de-
pend on them for anything but the
groceries and little pin money for his
wife. This is the man who does not
believe il pays TO feed cows, nor is he
careful to put them in the stable when
the frosty nights come. They stay in
the fields every day until snow covers
the ground. So, say, it is pity that
the very ones who need most TO hear
the dairy gospel preached, many OF them
are not likely to hear it since they rarely
read the agricultural papers.
Verv likely we all did the same thing
until we were told better, or, at least,
until we began to think, study and OBJ
serve. We now know that nothing will
more quickly check the flow of milk
than exposure to cold winds, storms or
severe cold.
Go into the stable where the average
farmer keeps his COWS (wheu he gets
around to put them in at night and
see how cold it is in there. See the
cracks where the wind whistles in and
the snow drifts in little rows clear
across it. Note the frozen manure be-
hind the animals, and note, too, the
IN thair anatNmips This hmm
| is the result OF the animal becoming
chilled. She "humps up" trying to keep
warm. The attitude is not particularly
calculated to increase the how OF milk.
In fact, it works the other way aud is
prima iacle evidence that the animal is
consuming some of the fuel that might
make milk in the vain endeavor to keep
her temperature at the uormtl point.
swhy don't you keep your cows In the
stable such day AS this?' L once
asked a man who had taken me to hls
barn ward 10 show me some fine stock

stables" was his reply. The day was
one of the very worst kind, veritable
blizz ,rd was raging and the snow was
drifting in every imaginable shape
He opened the stable door to show Us
his bull, which was kept tied up, and
then at once concluded that the COW;

PROTEIN FOR THE DAIRY COW.

On this subject Professor Otis Of the
Kansas Agricultural College says:
profits In dairying depend very
largely upon the quality of the farm aud
the farmer to produce what is needed by
the cows right on the farm. This does
not mean quantity only, but quality rs
well. Any practical farmer knows that
there is great difference in the feeding
value of our different crops. 1t has been
found by repeated trials ut the expert.
ment station, and by practical feeders OF
both dairy and beef animals, that this
difference in our feeds is largely, il not
wholly due to the differing contents OF
the group of chemical elements known
as protein. The experience of both
practical dairymsn and scientific expert
shows that the average dairy COW, in
order to do her best, needs all the way
from two to three pounds of digestible
protein per day. A COW fed on corn and
corn-stover will have just about half the
protein she needs, and rs q result, will
give some milk, but cannot do her best
and no matter how much corn and
stover we may give to her, she has no.
where near the capacity to handle
enough to furnish the protein she needs,
to say nothing of the wear and tear on
her system in handling so much extra
and unusable material not protein.
1--WE must bear iu mind that protein is
an absolutely essential ingredient OF
milk, and must appear in the raw mate
rial if there is to be a finished product.
Suppose farmer brings home a wagon
load of lumber and five pounds OF ten
penny nails, and instructs his hired man
to take saw, cut the lumber into small
pieces and nail the pieces together into
boxes. The man would 60 to work and
make boxes as long as the supply OF
nails held out, but after the nails were
used up he could not make any more
boxes, no matter how much lumber he
had. So it is with the COW; she will
manufacture milk as long as her supply
of protein holds out, but after that is
exhausted she cannot make any more
milk, no matter how much Of the other
ingredients she may have. So the prob
lem that confronts Kansas dairymen is
not how to secure the maximum pro-
duction of any one crop, but the maxi
mum production of variety of crops
which, when combined, will furnish the
nutrients needed by his cows, without
much surplus of any one crop"

and therefore ready and able to aid all
kindred organizations in their special
lines of effort. Under this new depart
