Holding I'm the Milk.

A fresh cow that holds up her milk
nearly always provokes thereby an at
tack of garget and future loss of milk
all through the season. so that the dali
ryman or owner Of a family cow should
be on the watch to avert the trouble,
says Farm and Home. When the calf
is habitually taken from the cow be-
fore it has had time to suck, the cow
will come to her milk naturally and
without resistance, and this practice
cannot be too strongly recommended
as constant rule in the dairy. When,
however, the trouble has occurred and
a remedy is sought, we find how pow
erless we are to strive with the natural
instincts of an animal excited to stub
born resistance. Soothing measures
and perseverance or the use Of the
milking tubes is the only effective rem
edy.

WINTER CARE or COWS.
Warm Stables, Balanced TatiOns and
Pure Water Necessary.

The rules for taking care of COWS are
SO few and simple that We wonder why
we should repeat them each year, but
each year we see SO many who do not
practice them that we cannot refrain,
hoping that we may reform some of
them, says American Cultivator. One
of the first requisites is a warm barn,
not only for the comfort Of the cows,
but for the profit Of the owners. When
we think of some of the barns we knew
when a boy, where the snow blew in
through the cracks behind the animals
and their tails were perhaps frozen
down into the manure, we do not won
der that farmers thought they were
"tail sick in the spring or had
wolf in the tail. Luckily there are
not many such barns now, for the
farmers have learned that it took good
cOrnmeal to keep up the heat OF the
system, and that was more expensive
than single, and as the cold grew in
side the barn the milk yield decreased.
If those barns remain the cracks have
been covered, and perhaps our modern
barns now err in the other extreme of
being SO tightly closed as to lack suffi-
cient ventilation, fault that can be
remedied by the use of ventilating
tubes from near the floor behind the
animals to some point where they can
carry out the foul air above the hay.
Another point is a comfortable bed
to protect them from cold, the hard and
often cold floors.
Of course good food and enough of it
is necessary, but that is not all. The
food should be varied in such proper
tons as to make what is called bal
anced ration. enough grain 80 mixed
with the rough fodder as to keep the

The Ear.

cur.
When several blind persons were
questioned as to which they would
rather do without their visual organs
or those Of hearing, the majority de-
clared in favor of hearing. We feel a
compassion for the blind; for the deaf
we are not often sympathetic. The
spectacle of a sightless individual
touches us to tears; that of one who
cannot hear provokes almost feeling
of drollery. Yet no doubt the loss Of
one organ is as pathetic thing as the
loss of the other.
Many erroneous ideas still exist in
the public mind that interfere seriously
with the work of the skilled aurist.
Too many people think that the ear is
so delicate an organ that nothing
whatever can be done to alleviate any
distress arising therein and allow u
trivial disorder that might be rectified
by an aurist to bring about case Of
partial deafness that settles into per-
manency.

There is such thing as having the
barn arrangements such as will make
it pleasant and agreeable work caring
for the stock during our long winters,
or, on the contrary, for want of proper
arrangements it may be made most dis
agreeable and unsatisfactory, says e.
r. Towle in American Cultivator.
The stables should be sufficiently
warm, but not close and unventilated,
and there should be plenty Of light for
all purposes. A dark, low, bad smell
ing stable is an abomination to man
and beast, and when the nights get
cold Or there are bad storms the COWS
will be much better off in the stable
than out of doors and will exhibit
their appreciation of such comfortable
quarters by great contentment and in
creased yield of milk
Another thing, it is not wise to I'M
dertake to winter more stock than can
be we'll kept and cared for, as this is
neither pleasant nor profitable. Young
animals should be kept thrifty and
growing all winter, and COWS giving
milk should receive the best of atten-
ton in care and feed, so they may give
satisfactory returns at the pail.
Aside from the stables for the COWS
and most of the young cattle, it will
be very convenient to have several
pens. which may be used for variety
of purposes, as needed This will be
found a most convenient arrangement.
We find it better to tie calves from six
months to a year old in a stable. the
same as other cattle. They learn to be-
come quiet in this way and can be
more satisfactorily fed than when sew
eral are in pen together.
The Lightning Rod.
Hundreds of farmers have been
swindled by the lightning rod agents.
paying for the rods much more than
fair price and in some cases giving
notes for them when they thought that
they were only signing a receipt for
certain amount of rod, which would be
removed if they were not satisfied to
keep it at the end of a certain time
But this does not disprove the efficacy

lightning rod or conductor should run
from every wire fence about once in
fifteen or twenty rods, going six or

considerable distance and when it
leaves them may go several rods along

After food naturally comes water.
This should be always pure and clean,
and we would wish it could be always
warm. There should be some cheap de-
vice for quickly warming the water in
the trough. In fact, we think there
has been such patented, but have not
seen them in use. We have seen water
warmed by steam at low pressure
conveyed to the trough in pipes and
were told that for a herd Of twenty
cows the milk product was increased
enough to make it very profitable.

Shedding Corn Fodder.

Nearly one-half of the feeding value
Of the corn plant is in the stalk, and if
fed to the COWS in the usual manner a
large part of this food value is wasted
in the stalks left uneaten, says
Hoard's Dairyman. Shedding puts
this food in a shape to be used by the
cows. Under no condition would we
allow the corn fodder to remain stand
ing in the fields. The loss from rain
wind and frost is too great to be al
lowed. Twenty-Five per cent is the
usual and 40 per cent a not uncommon
loss of feeding value when the fodder
is left in the fields.

Winter Care of Cows.

Cows should never be left out OF
doors when the weather is uncomfort-
able. They may be turned out in a
yard well sheltered from the cold on
pleasant, sunshiny days in the winter
for two or three hours, but when the
weather is very cold or stormy if they
are not watered in the stable, which is
the best way, they should be out only
long enough to drink from tank a
few feet away from the barn and then
Immediately allowed to so back.

Young Dairy Stock.

The rising generation of the dairy is
often overlooked in the fall, remarks
w. F. McSparran in National Stock
man. The young things can get little
growth or good from grass that has
stopped in its own growing, and little
extra feed and attention now may save
a lot of them both later and save also
the irreparable damage sustained by
the future COW, caused by arrested de-
velopment. Don't let the milk machine
slip cog.

A Successful Dairy Cow Breeder.

T. AZ Borman of Topeka will teach
judging of dairy cattle at the Kansas
State Agricultural college March to
s, says Kansas Farmer.
Mr.. Borman started in Dickinson
county with q common herd and
through his knowledge Of what a dairy
cow should be bred his herd up until
he secured an average of $S1 per cow a
year selling milk to a creamery. He
started with common mixed COWS and
by careful selection and breeding in
six years developed grade cow that
produced 10000 pounds of milk and
476 pounds of butter in q year with
Kansas grown feeds. The average
. scrub cow gives seventy pounds Of but
ter in year. Many Of the cows from
his breeding refuse to become dry.

The painting Love and Life" may
grace the walls Of the White House In
peace and QUietude, without public criti-
cism or comment. so far as the local
branch OF the Womans Christian TEN
perance Union Is concerned.
No action Of any character will be
taken by the Washington members Of the
organization toward making an appeal
to the President to remove the picture
from the Executive Mansion. This an
nOuncement was made this morning by
Mrs. Clinton Smith. president OF the
local chapter. who declares that II has
no desire 20 dictate TO the President OF
the United States or anyone else the
nature Of the art that should be dis
played in their private residences.
I'VE do not consider It within our
province to dictate TO President Roose-
welt. or, in fact. anyone, what he shall
have in his home" she said. More
over. any question OF that nature Is IN
the hands Of Mrs. Martin. who is privi-
legged 20 DO whatever she may see At.
But so far as the local organization is
concerned there will be no action. We
are too busy solving more important
The Washington times., 1902-12-17

questions to consider any trivial mat
ter Of this sort"
Mrs. Smith refused to express an opIn-
ion on the painting. In fact. she seemed
reluctant to discuss the affair at all. her
actions indicating that she cid not wish
20 become involved in the controversy.
The picture in question gained much
notorlety in the course OF the adminis-
tration Of President Cleveland, when II
was removed from the White House to
the Corcoran Art Gallery at the insti-
CATION OF the w. C. T. Z. Subsequently
the picture was exhibited at the Worlds
Fair. and there was the center OF ad-
miring throngs. It was favcrably COM
mented on by nearly all art critics.
The present agitation IS caused by the
removal of the painting from the gallery
to the White House. It's presence there
has been objected to by Mrs. Martin. the
national superintendent Of purity In lit
erature and art, who says that she con-
siders the painting immoral and unit to
be on view in the home Of the Chief tx
ecutive. She has signifed her intention
Of asking the President 10 remove It.
