THE BREED TO KEEP.
A Question That an Experienced Man
Finds 1t Hard to Answer.

A Question That an Experienced Man
Finds 1t Hard to Answer.
J. A. T. wants to start dairying On
his farm and asks what breed of cows
he had better adopt, what breed have
and if they are satisfactory. y dozen
years ago | could have answered this
question rather positively and definite
", as | could good many other direct
questions. but it is wonderful what an
effect half a score of years of severe
practical experience on the farm and
careful observation have in making a
man conservative, says l.. W. Lightly
in National Stockman and Farmer He
will not venture to tell man just
what he is to do and how he is to do it.
Some of his finest O. plans would not
work out in his own hands. How could
he expect them to do so secondhand?
In selecting a breed of cows for
dairying a person should consider him
self and his environments. The breed
that a person admires most is likely to
prove the best in his hands if carefully
studied and properly handled. For
dairy purposes it is of course advisable
to select a typical dairy breed, though
| have known men to make at least a
partial success with a beef breed,
though not typical beef cows. 1t might
possibly be helpful to the Questioner
and others in selecting a breed of cat
tie to mention a few Of the chief char
acteristics of q few of the cOmmoneSt
dairy breeds. The Channel island cat
tie Jerseys and Guernseys) were orig
mated and bred on the islands of this
name, where the climate is not nearly
as severe as in our northern states. II
we turn the island COW with our native
and then use our old methods of little
or no shelter in winter and compel the
COWS to hustle over the hills for their
feed in summer, the native is likely to
come out ahead. The same is true Of
Holsteins. In their native home, the
Netherlands, they often share part of
| the house with the family. Feed is
| abundant and of the right kind. Their
| bodies are very heavy, and their bones
are not constructed to travel miles over
| hills and valleys to find a days living.
| | know men who have lots of rough
land that furnishes some pasture and
who are opposed to ''babying'' cows, as
they put it, who keep Ayrshires with
very good results. Their native home
is q cold and rough country and pro
duces good, rugged stock. The Swiss
are credited with the same qualities
! R1t do for n Innnonnt think thoi
any breed can be had that will bear
neglect only that some are better hus
tiers than others.

AS OTHERS SEE US.
Would Glimpse of the Picture Thus
Presented Be Helpful?

TICSSitSN DS iiS'P' ~
In spite Of the curiosity Of most
of us to know what others really
think of us it is doubtful whether
the man lives who would not rise in
wrath if compelled to listen to what
others do think Of him. 1t is odd
that we are all so ready to swallow
unstinted praise, but are at the same
time equally ready to resent any
unfavorable criticism. The latter
we cannot but think is the result of
lack Of comprehension even if not
actually barbed with malice or envy.
Burns asserted that if we could
see ourselves from the standpoint
and through the eyes of others
It wad frae monte a blunder free us
An foolish notion.
Nothing Of the kind! 1t would, on
the contrary, simply confirm us in
our opinion that we were very harsh
ly misjudged and altogether misun-
derstood, and instead of lowering
our estimate of ourselves would
make us think still less of the acu-
men of our Judges. And when we
again turn to the mirror to convince
ourselves that we are not as we are
painted we are more than ever at a
loss to comprehend how the eyeslght
of others can be so defective with
out their knowing it. Human ma
ture is such that correct descrlp-
tons of the follies and foibles of
others are deemed sarcastic and wit
ty; those of our own i'll natured
and stupid.
How many of us are satisfied with
a good portrait? How few of US
think that photograph fatters us?
All the same, the photographers
art lies in making a picture which,
while like us, is not too much like
us. What we need is not to see our
selves as others see us, but to see
ourselves as we are, which is quite
a different matter-just as differ
ent, in fact, from the reality as our
own view. A composite of the two
negatives, how we see ourselves and
how others see us, would make a
good positive; but, like most good
photographs, would neither be fiat
tering nor acceptable to the subject.

The MarechaI Mel Rose.

Although many flowers owe their
names to famous people, there IS
only one instance known when a
man and flower received title at
the same moment. When Mel, a
brave French general, was return
ing from the scene of his victories
in the war between France and Aus
tria, he received from peasant who
wished to honor the hero basket
of beautiful pale yellow roses. One
of the stems, which happened to
have roots clinging to it, the gener-
al took to florist in Paris, in whose
care it remained until it became a
thriving bush covered with bios
SONS. Mel then took the plant as
gift to the Empress Eugene. She
expressed great admiration for the
exquisite flowers, and on learning
that the rose was nameless said sig
nifcantly: "Then | will name it. 1t
shall be the Marechal Mel" and at
the same moment she bestowed
upon the astonished general the
ieweled baton that betokened his
promotion to the high Office Of mar
shall Of France.

Corn should be put into the silo when
1t is almost ready to cut and can be
put in at the time it is ripe enough to
cut with good results. Formerly it
was thought best to cut corn when
rather green for silage, but later prac-
tice leans toward the stage of ripeness
just before it begins to dry out and
the stalks become woody.
With sorghum we should think that
it should also be well ripened before
being made into silage, as at that stage
the sugar in the juice is fully matured
and the seeds are most valuable as
feed.-Dairy and Creamery.

Professor T. L. Hacker of the Min
nesota experiment station says that by
weighing all the food given during a
year to the cows of the station dairy
herd, weighing the milk and testing
the butter fat it was found that some
of the cows produced butter at a cost
of II cents per pound, while for Others
the cost ran as high as II cents per
pound. A few COWS produced but a
little over 200 pounds of butter in a
year, and others gave about 400
pounds. Breed made but little differ
ence, but the COWS that made the
cheapest butter were all Of the wedge
shape dairy type. The right food ra-
ton and the maternal instinct are
important essentials.

leaving an eight foot driveway through
the middle to allow room for the use
of wagon in cleaning. If the manure
is to be taken out in a handcart or
wheelbarrow, this passage may be
considerably narrower, thus decreasing
the width of the building. On the out
side of the stalls, next to the walls, is
a passage or feeding alley from three
and a half to five feet wide for use in
carrying in feed and filing the man
gers. The manure gutter in the rear OF
the stalls is sixteen inches wide, and
the stalls are seven feet deep, of which
two feet are taken up by the manger,
leaving five feet clear as standing room
for the COWS. This may be reduced to
4 feet 6 inches or even less for ami
mails of the smaller breeds or below av-
erage size. At one end of the stable
are four box stalls, each y by - feet
or less, one of which may be used for
the bull and the others for calves, cows
which are about to calve, sick cows or
for any other purpose which may suit
the convenience of the owner. The
width of the stalls should be from
three to four feet, varying with the
size of the COWS and the kind of stall
which is used.

The MiIkhOuse.

In planning house for handling the
milk the main points are ventilation,
sunshine, drainage and to have it han
dy to an abundant supply of cold wa
ter. The location should be where
the air is pure, as milk absorbs odors
and is easily tainted and spoiled for
butter making or any family purpose
The building should have at least one
window on the south side, so as to al
low the sun to shine in when desired
yet so arranged as to exclude the di
rect sunshine when necessary.

When the cows are to be kept in the
stable through the winter, each stall
should have its drinking trough kept
filed with water where the cows can
reach it at any time, says farmers
bulletin No. ISL, issued by the agricul-
tural department at Washington. Such
an arrangement is not expensive, as
iron troughs large enough for the use
of two cows in adjoining stalls can be
purchased very cheaply. By placing
them on a level in connection with a
supply pipe and using single float
valve to regulate the flow, there will
be no waste and each trough will re-
ceive a frequent supply of fresh water.
There are objections to this individual
system of watering, however, and
some good dairymen prefer the over
flow trough so placed that cows can go
to it in stormy weather without ex-
posture.
When the cows are to spend the day
out of doors the feed lot should be well
provided with troughs, so that each
animal can drink whenever she wishes
without danger of the weaker being
worried and driven away by the stron-
ger

Every owner of a COW should see
that gentle and quiet means are used
in drawing the milk from her. Many
good cows are spoiled by rough milk
ers When it can be done, the same
person should milk the same COW every
time. Gentle treatment will surely pay,
and the matter of profit should always
be kept in the foreground. We like
to see the COW reach around and lick
the mixer; then one can be sure that
harmony does prevail.
