PENDING COWS AND YOUNG STOCK.
Any successful plan for feeding the
dairy COW will settle the problem of
how to feed young stock. A balanced
ration, I'd meet our several needs must
be practical and such as can be grown
largely on our farms. This ration is OBJ
tained By averaging the results Of sue
cessful feeders all over the country. Try
to get the method Of feeding adapted to
your needs. No method is good unless
the animal is made comfortable and con-
tented. &5
For all general purposes corn is at
the head Of the list. The corn plant is
Americas greatest gift to the world, as
il ls the greatest cattle feeding food.
The summer feeding will Of course be
different from the WINTER am con-
WINGED that smaller variety of corn,
maturing more quickly than the usual
varieties grown here will be Of great
value to this state, as forage plant.
This corn natures; yet is so green in the
stalk that it is readily consumed by cat
tie. Feed without waste, yet so that the
animal will have an abundance.
Glover is particularly rich IN bone and
MUSCLE nutrients. The great advantage
OF the plant IS, that it grows quickly and
does its work quickly. Consider it as
an annual, and an annual alone. In
handling grasses, endeavor to cure hay
as quickly as possible. Let the mows
be filled with dried grass rather than
cured hay. Feed to cultivate the full,
capacity of the animal, remembering
that there is not only the food Of main
tenance, but the food of production.
Seek to grow hardy animals, and sat
|isfactory producers.
Mr.. Henry Van Dresser, Cobleskilt,

z THE DAIRY COW.
Mr.. Van Dresser gave an exceedingly
interesting and valuable lecture upon
subject Of the dairy cow, giving her
general makeup, and illustrating 1t by
charts. It being impossible to do JUS

only a few points can be briefly referred
to. The speaker said that he would adj

pose of the poorest of their animals, on

thoroughbred sire, of the type Of breed
that they were interested in, and grad u
ally, porsistently, patiently, breed up
their herds to profitable business. He
gave the. characteristics Of dairy COW,
and sire, and his method of selecting the
calves as they were dropped, keeping
only those chat conformed to the dairy
type. He concluded with stirring APP

persistent effort. s.Life Is battle; and
the glory is in the victory.

POTATOES FOR THE NoRTHWEsT.
| One of the most necessary elements Of
successful potato growing is good seed.
To be- good, it must be kept in cool
cellar or cave, where the temperature is
always close to the freezing point. When
tho cave gets too warn, put ice IN it; and
when too colo, lighted lantern will be
sufficient . restore the temperature de-
Isired. .
For early potatoes, Ohio's are good.
For late, Rurais, OF some white, nearly
