them. I feed heavily, principally of
feeds grown at home, and as market

A Jersey Bulls Pedigree.
"A California subscriber sends Hoard's
Dairyman the pedigree Of the Jersey
bull that he has recently bought to
head his herd in which there is some
thing more than bold dash Of the
blood elements which made Old Pedro
SO famous, crossed upon couple of
imported cows whose breeding is not
given. The inquirer says, however,
that the dam of this bull and her dam,
although not officially tested, leave
nothing to be desired in the way of
form and development of udder. This
seems to us to be an assurance that the
I combination of blood elements in the
youngster are perhaps all that could
be desired, and if his progeny receives
proper care we have little doubt that
our inquirer will be more than satisfied
with his purchase. @= 4..@ s. r..
Look Out For Bad Odors.
Dairymen should not lose sight Of
the fact that the organisms which de-
compose farmyard manure and thus
cause bad odor will also ferment
milk and cream. It will be well, there
fore, to remove all manure and other
decaying substances from the vicinity
of the dairy and the pals used in
milking. Another thing which should
be looked after is the cleaning of the
drains. Sour or butter milk should
never be left near pure milk or cream.
They, tend to form a breeding ground
for the same sort of organisms which
later on faint the products Of the
dairy. . 49,, @.s.,' ....- - +
A Great Mixer. "a 49,,
A British journal announces the
death of one Of the most remarkable
cows that ever figured in public milk
ing tests. This was Shorthorn-
Guernsey cross bred animal. She was
in her ninth year at the time Of her
death. Some idea Of her great ability
as a mixer may be gathered from the
fact that during the ten and half
months prior to her death she had
produced at the rate Of over 1000 gal
Ions of milk per annum. On the day
before her death she gave sixty-six
pounds of milk s..s It
To Secure Good Calves. LIS
Warm, sweet milk. fed in clean buck
cts, with access to cornmeal or Kaff1f
corn meal, bright hay, fresh, clean wa
ter, salt, plenty of sunlight, shelter
and bedding In cold weather, shade in
summer and regularity and kindness
in treatment will usually insure good,
thrifty calves that will gain from
