Inevitable Mistakes.

No one that has not had experience
In poultry raising should invest heav
lily In that business. The only safe
way Is to start small and Increase tho
flock as rapidly as experience IN
creascs. The novice generally starts
In with the Arm resolve to succeed
from the start. Frequently he gets al
the Information he can from books
and from practical poultrymen. and he
vainly imagines that the Information
80 acquired will save him from mis-
takes. But the mistakes are made
Just the same, though they are doubt
less fewer on account OF what has
been CLEANED from the experiences oi
others. People must have expert
ence by themselves To really ut them
to cope with the numerous situations
they must face Let the novice set IL
down l.. a certainty that he will make
mistakes OF most serious nature
and that as n result OF such mistakes
great losses will result. In some cases
these losses will be greater than the
profits for the entire year In which
they occur. We tell the novice OF this
before they occur. SO that he nay not
he entirely discouraged and give ~
the effort when they do occur. Even
people that have been brought up on
farms encounter these discouragine
experiences when they try to handle
fowls In considerable numbers. The
ones that have had little experience
In raising poultry are the ones most
likely to invest considerable sums In
an equipment before they are really
competent to manage such equipment
Because they have had some expert
ence they imagine themselves to be
experts. Most Of the failures are due
To inexperience. but the people that
have failed are not usually willing TO
admit this even TO themselves. Even

Hauling MIX Over Electric lines.

We notice that In some parts OF
the West the farmers are asking the
electric lines to haul milk to market.
IL is evident that this Is one Of the
purposes to be served by the electric
lines In the future. And why should
they not. They pass through the very
best OF the land, where the soil Is
richest and the population densest.
Such Is good dairy region. for the
farms Will be found to be generally
small and help quite easily obtalnable.
The only drawback is the necessity for
the farmer to hitch up his horse to
draw the milk to the electric line.
This labor may be lessened by using
hand separator and shipping only
the cream. II could then be sent for.
ward every day. and no excuse would
remain for II arriving at the factory
In sour condition. Up to the pres.
ent time most OF the electric lines run.
ming through the country have con.
tented themselves with carrying pas.
sengers. but II would certainly be a
great step In advance to provide fac.l
tiles for the transportation Of much
Of the products OF the farm.

which allows the gases and bad odors
that may have been taken up by the
milk while being drawn from the COW.

II is necessary TO use water that II
at least so to 55 degrees Fahrenheit,
and the cooler ;hould be such that II
will reduce the milk within n degree
or two OF the water temperature. az
there are different makes OF coolers

milk over II once; but there are some
that will. AS long as the milk re
mains below Gu degrees. the germs
that destroy or sour the milk can't
work or multiply; but above 70 de-
grees they increase very fast. and milk
Is often several points spoiled before
II reaches the creamery and cant be
detected by the smell or taste. and Il
Is taken In as sweet milk when Il is
not. and thus the keeping qualities OF
the butter, cheese. cream or whatever
product Is turned out by the factory. is

From Farmers Review: In answer.
ing the question: Does feeding ensi.
lage cause abortion In cows?" from
my experience and observation 4
should certainly say IL does not. The
dairy herd at the University OF Illinois
has been fed ensilage for the past ten
years with no bad results. consider
a reasonable amount. 80 to 40 pounds,
OF good ensilage one OF the best feeds
for dairy cows and know OF no better
feed to keep cows In good healthy
condition. Many of our best dairymen
feed rs much as 40 pounds OF ensilage
for seven months in the year and also
use II when pastures are short during
sumner with entire satisfaction. To
obtain uniformly good results the corn
must be cut at the right stage. lust
when commencing to glaze. and IL
must be put into a good tight silo In
the proper manner. II these things
are done but very small amount Will
spoil. II sound ensilage Is fed in the
proper amount and bad results follow
] should look for their cause In some.
thing besides ensilage.-W. J. Fraser,
