but occasionly one does. The cause should always be determined and, if possible, it should be removed.
 How many dairymen can tell how many pounds of milk each COW gives, the percentage of butter fat in each cows milk, and the average for the herd, and how many pounds of butter to each hundred pounds of milk; how much it costs to feed each COW, and how much it costs to make pound of butter, and things like that Yet this is what many up-to-date dairymen know to a -nicety. A scale, a Babcock test, a lead pencil and a little brains are the chief requisites.

Rules for the Dairy

There should be no loud, boisterous language permitted while doing the milking, for the COW is a nervous crea- ture, and any uncalled for exitement affects the quantity and quality of milk unfavorably.
 It is the little attentions that go to make up the successful management of dairying, and he who does not study the needs of the common COW and her environment need expect no success with her blooded sisters.
 The more extended use of starters will be to the benefit of dairy products without any question, but the success ful butter maker who uses a starter must have all conditions right when he uses his starter, to meet with success.
 How much poor butter and cheese can be traced directly to dirty milk cans will never be known, but the loss is sufficient to buy many new cans every year and would go far toward paying the cost of cleaning the entire supply of the country.
 The good COW, the one that will economically convert large quantities of feed into milk, is the only kind that the intelligent, progressive dairy man will keep for any length of time. The COW that does this best is the most useful and profitable to her owner.
 Many good COW is hardly paying her board, for the reason she does not have the proper care and feed. When COW is fed a full ration, 60 per cent of what she eats goes to supply thu waste tissues and to funish energy. It is a shortshightedness to withhold any of the 40 per cent that goes to furnish material for milk making.
 Heifers that have been carefully and kindly handled from calfhood to ma turity hardly ever develop into kickers,

Fertilizer Crona.

Farmers generally are beginning to
understand the full value of the
plowed under crop which may fairly be
called fertilizer crop, but all do not
understand how such crops are handled
to the best advantage. 1t Is not ut all
necessary to have this fertilizer crop at
the expense of the harvest crop unless
the land Is too poor to grow good crop
for harvesting, Take for example, a
farm on which 1t seems necessary to
use both commercial fertilizers and a
turned-under crop in order to get il in
shape to crop repeatedly. Early In the
season SOW such soil to oats and peas,
using one bushel of each per acre rs
seed, and just before the time to SOW
buckwheat pillow the oat and pea crop
under. Before sowing to buckwheat
use commercial fertilizer at the rate OF
100 pounds per acre, 100 pounds also
having been used previous to the SOW
ing of the peas and oats. This ferti.
lizer should contain considerable pot.
ash The crop of buckwheat will pay
for the fertilizer and leave the ground
In good shape for seeding, or rye may
follow the buckwheat, using another
100 pounds of fertilizer before sowing
the rye seed. This method will put the
soil in fair shape, permit one to use
the fertilizer crop and yet not at the
expense Of the harvest crop.
