The Value of a Dairy Cow.

The statement has been made that
the average dairyman knows more about
the subject of bacteriology than he does
about selecting dairy COW. This is due
to the fact that creamerymen have re-
ligiol,sly insisted on compelling farmers
to avoid allowing their milk to become
contaminated from any source what
ever. In order to emphasize this it has
been necessary for the creamerymen to
explain in detail the characteristics of
the organisms which develop injurious
flsvors in milk. The care that is now
taken In the cleaning of milk utensils
indicates that the dalryman is aware Of
the fact that organisms left in poorly
washed vessels multiply at an exceed
ingly rapid rate when they are allowed
a milk culture to work in. OF course,
1t cannot be said-ths the average dairy
man has attained perfection along these
lines, although there is no denying the
fact that he is quite well posted on these
matters.
1t is now high time, however, that
more attention was given to the selec.
tion of the dairy COW. There is quite .
general belief that dairy COW is worth
about $40 or $50, and so long as an ami
NAL is young there is but little allow
snce made for her real ability to pro-
duce milk at profit. It lis seldom resl-
lied that many COWS are dear as q gift.
that they are kept at an annual loss
when the cost of their feed is set over
against the value of their product. n!
is, therefore, apparent that the value Of
q dairy COW depends entirely upon her
ability to produce butter fat. Some are
able to make as high ss $50 orieven 400
pounds Of butter In q gear, while on the
other hand there are cows which could,
not be made]to produce $50 pounds q
butter fat, even with the best kind Of
feeding and treatment. The latter,
therefore, as dairy animal has no
value whatever, and her selling price
can only be based on what she would
bring on the market as Gamer. But
a COW that will produce 300 or 400
pounds of butter during one year would
be q bargain at 500. Such an animal
when properly fed would pay 40 per
cent on the first cost plus the value Of
her feed every year. There is the typi-
cal dairy form which one may be guided
by in purchasing dairy animal, but
even this is sometimes deceiving. Some
times the animal with typical beef
form turns out to have wonderful abil-
ity in the production of milk. After all.
the milk pail and the test furnish the
most accurate means of determining the
real value of the dairy animal. Home

sold Applications Superior to Drafts
of Alcohol.
There Is deep seated belief amount
ing almost to superstition that alco-
hol is a very important heart stimu.
liant, especially when this organ ID
weak. Winternitz, the great authority
on hydrotherapy in Germany, has
often told US of the very great value
OF cold rs heart stimulant or tonic
and that it is far superior to alcohol in
this respect. DR.. Kellogg gives the
method of application as follows:
The application consists Of COM
press applied to the portion of the
chest wall over the heart. This COM
prises the space bounded by the second
RIB above, the right border of the
sternum, a line falling half inch to
the right of the nipple and the sixth
RIB below. The compress should be
large enough to cover this space and
to extend at least two inches outside
of 1t. Ordinarily the best effects are
produced by employing water at a
temperature of about 60 degrees. The
compress should be wrung moderately
dry and should be very lightly covered.
1t is desirable that cooling by slow
evaporation should be encouraged and
be continued for some time"
DR.. Kellogg continues: I'm Germany
and France 1t is the custom to admins
ter alcohol to the patient just before
putting him in n cold bath. Some prac-
dtioners, us Winternitz, administer but
very small amount, single mouthful
OF wine, for instance, while others
give brandy in considerable quantities.
A few American practitioners employ
brandy freely with the cold bath. The
unwisdom of this practice will be ap-
parent on due consideration of the fol-
lowing facts:
zone purpose in administering the
cold bath is to secure true stimulant
or tonic effect by arousing the vital
energies through excitation- Of the
nerve centers. Alcohol was once sup
posed to be capable of effecting this
and was used for this purpose in ty-
phoid fever and various other morbid
conditions accompanied by depression
of the vital forces. At the present
time. however, it is well known, and
with practical unanimity admitted,
that alcohol Is neither TOME nor q
stimulant, but-a narcotic; that 1t de.
presses and does ¬ excite; that It

capable Of producing two notes differ
Ing, say, by the interval of third or a
fifth, conclusion arrived atSmanx
years ago by experiments which have
been unhappily too much lost sight Of.
Professor Piazzi Smith found BY trial
that high note was generally more
penetrating as signal, but advised
that such note should not be used
alone, assigning as one reason that in
dividuals possess note deafness similar
to color blindness, SO that no one note
could be trusted. Experiments went to
prove that sound varying between a
high and low note best arrested at
tentlon at long range.
And the same result has been arrived
at in another way. The peculiar cry Of
the Alpine guide, which is, in fact, of
that nature which Professor Smith ad-
yocates, has doubtless been taught by
the exigencies of his situation, where
his voice is required to carry across
broad and deep rayines. Nature has
taught the same lesson in the Austria
lian wilds, where the characteristic
"Cowi, cowi!" appears essential to pen
citrate the deep woods.

voices of children are very farreaching.
Their shouting can be heard farther

doubtless by experience. The child

Value Of Shredded Fodder.

The problem of harvesting the corn
crop in such manner as to utilize the
full feeding value of the fodder is one
that demands earnest consideration.
Chemical analysis at several of the lead
ing experiment stations has shown that
nearly half the feeding value Of the
crop is in the fodder. This makes our
neglected fodder crop the second most
valuable crop produced in America;
worth more than our wheat, oats, cot
ton, hay or any other crop excepting
the corn itself. Uutil few years ago
it was commonly supposed that there
was very little value in the fodder.
Even in the east, where corn was gener
ally cut and shocked by hand, the fod-
der was looked upon more as filler to
be fed to cattle or sheep out doors after
they had been given their regular feed
of hay and grain. In the. west we did
not dream of the neglected fortune that
lay concealed in our snow. covered stalk
fields.
This misconception regarding the
value of fodder was due In part to the
fact that the fodder really has but little
feeding value If it is allowed to stand
uncut in the field until after the work
of husking can be finished. 1t is like
timothy and clover in this respect. The
best meadow would be worth but little
| if allowed to stand for months uncut,
/ to bleach and rot In the sun, winds and
rain. Grass must be cut at just the
right time before it gets too ripe, in or
der to make good hay. Tho same rule
applies to corn fodder. If cut at the
right time before it gets dead ripe, 1t
makes good, nutritious feed which anal
ysis shows as practically equal to timo-
thy hay. If 1t stands too long 1t dries
up and gets as woody and palatsble ss
a plank, and there is also q mechanical
loss in the dropping of the dead leaves
Another reason for our failure to un-
derstand the value of the fodder crop is
that about half the feeding value Of
average fodder is in the body of the
stalk, which cattle and sheep cannot cal
when it is fed to them whole. The
statement has been made by one Of the
experiment stations that half the feed
ing value of the entire fodder is in tina,
