BREED. NOT FEED.
Only Way TO Get MILK That Contains
Plenty of Butter Fat.

Plenty of Butter Fat.
There are so many requests for i'm
proved rations which will increase the
quality of the milk and cream of dairy
cows that one might be convinced that
our darying is rapidly awakening to
the new order of things. But it must
be said that most of these inquiries
voice a desire which cannot be graft
fed by any mixture of feed. They
ask that feed shall be devised which
will improve the richness and quality
of their milk. Most of them have been
feeding fairly rich foods, and the cows
have not been suffering from any lack
of nourishing rations. The only an
swer to these requests must be that
the cows must be changed and not the
food. Now, it is an excellent thing to
have an ideal ration for dairy cows
and to feed them consistently with it,
but such a ration fed to poor COWS
would not yield any good results, says
DR.. II. r. Morse. 1t might in the long
run gradually improve the quality of
the milk and cream, but not enough to
make the difference in the cost of the
! food. If one wishes to use such an
! ideal ration he should also undertake
to breed his herd up to a higher stand
: ard. If he is not willing to dispose
of his COWS for better stock, he must
! at least introduce new blood every
! year. The herd must be headed by a
fine bull, which will bring up the
standard of averages, so that the ideal
ration can produce its best results.
There are plenty who maintain that
it is impossible materially and per-
manently to change the percentage of
! fat in cows milk by improved feed
ing rations. PROFESSIONALLY this has
! given a good deal of dissatisfaction
and caused Il good deal of discourage
ment in many quarters. But it should
not Temporarily improved rations
may show q change for the better in
the fat of the milk. but it is small and
not permanent. Consequently those
who have tried it and lound that there
was no continuous improvement gave
UP the work and fell back into old con,
ditions. There is only one thing to say
to such men. 1t is necessary often tc
change the cows first and then change
the feed. Doing the latter without the
former will often produce no good re
suits.

Wet or Dry Teats,

1t is a little surprising, but it is new
ertheess true, that we are in receipt
of an inquiry from a dairyman as to
whether it is better to milk with wet
or dry teats. We had supposed that
this question was settled in the mind
of practically every dairyman worthy
of the name, says Hoard's Dairyman.
1t is not only a filthy practice to wet
the teats, but it is liable to produce
chapped conditions. If for any reason
the teat needs a little lubricating, use
a small quantity of vaseline for that
purpose and under no circumstances
whatever attempt to milk with wet
teats.

THE DAIRyMAN.

AS IA mes. !a OF converting the raw
products OF the farm il;o more sala-
BILE forms the good dairy COW is with
out peer. says G. W. Hodson, Do
minion live stock commissioner. The
good beeting animal will pay very lit
tie more than market prices for food
fed from birth to shambles. The sheep,
with fleece and lambs, gives only a
very modest profit on food consumed.
The pig aud the hen, if wisely fed, do
much better than either of the above,
but it is very seldom that the returns
from either go beyond $3.50 for 81
worth of food consumed. The dairy
COW, however, frequently goes as high
as 50 worth of products for 81 worth
of food, and many a COW has been
known to give $3.50 worth of products
for 81 worth of food consumed.
Most herds fall far short of such a
high return. The reasons may be
summarized as lack of breeding, i'm
proper or insufficient feeding and lack
of judgment and management. Every
dairy herd should average over 500
worth of products per COW per year. If
a herd is not giving such a return, it
is not doing justice. Possibly every in
dividual in the herd is not a No. l
dairy COW, but do you know which are
really doing good work and the relative
merits of the different cows?
| This type of animal is not in favor
with many breeders; consequently the
Brown Swiss is making its way slowly
in spite of many strong points in its
favor. The splendid herd owned by

Dairy Cattle.

A cattle buyer looking for butcher
stuff" came along the other day and
offered us at the rate of $01.G6 per
head for three of our poorest milk
COWS. No sooner said than done, and
the Mud Lake farm was minus three
Of its low grade mixers. We reasoned
out of the dairy philosophy that II II
paid to get rid of the low grade milk
COWS at any price it surely would pay
to get rid of them at $51.66 per head'
says D. A. Kent of the Iowa dairy
commission.
This is a great year to weed out the
improbable milk COW. She Is worth
more for beef at present than she ever
sells for as mixer. The poor mixer
can be sold for enough money to buy
good one in the fall. Many are taking
advantage of the situation, ana no
doubt many more will do so ere the
beef famine is broken. The only dan
GER is that the farmers will sell their
COWS short and continue the shortage
in butter until the good milk cow be-
gins to perform in the price circle. Inc
dairy COW sustains the same relation
TO the rest of the cattle kind in the f1uc-
tuation of prices as does real estate 10
stocks and bonds-last to rise ana last
to fall. We would advise wedding out
the old dairy maids and all COWS that
make no profit at the pail, but we
would also drop word of warning
against selling the milking herd too
close. The present anomalous prices
of beef are very tempting, and one IS
liable to let a pretty good mixer go
when half a hundred dollars is shaken
in his face for just common COW, IN
common flesh, weighing about 1,lOO
pounds. Such usually bring $50 or $50
! for beef.
