Corn for Dairy Feeding.

An enthusiastic advocate of soiling
says that the truth of the prediction
made some years ago that corn will
soon take the place of grass for dairy
and cattle feeding is already realized
by many farmers. With the progress
sive dairymen pasturing is considered
out of date and a wasteful me ethod.
Hay is inferior to prepared cornstalks
for feeding purposes, and now that we
can supply perfect corn ensilage TOR
feeding we have more particular need
for the pastures. An acre Of pasture
will not supply much more than one
fifth of the food required to support
a cow through the growing months.
One acre of corn will give all the green
food it needs from the first OF July to
the first Of October. On the same piece
of land corn raised for soiling will
make four times as much green food
for a COW as will grass.

steam power, because we can thus
obtain hot water and dry steam for

brick is used at eight dollars per

POOR cows EXPENSIVE
Why Thousands OF DAIRY Animals
In the United States Should Be
Sold for Beet.

Some dairymen would be better or
If they did not have SO many cows al
they own at present and some would
be actually better off, if they had
none. This is a hard saying, but it is
true. The sooner the poor cows are
weeded out of the herd the better. It
penses. There are millions of cows
in the United States that are not fair
ly good This is proven BY statistics
regarding the average of milk and
butter production. The average cow
is not a money maker, and there are
millions of cows poorer than the av-
erage cow. From the average COW
down they should be sent to the
shambles. The farmers of the
United States would be ahead what
they received from them as beef.
This would be clear gain, and more,
for it would be preventing annual
losses that are now occurring with
great regularity. The men that scof
at book farming, that will not read
agricultural papers and that will not
attend farmers Institutes are the fell
lows for the most part that are keep
ing these expensive poor cows. The
men that are awake and that think
are quitting that kind of business.
Moreover, the men that are progress
sive are getting ahead of the men
that refuse to think. They are going
out among the slow men and are an
nually buying their best COWS to put
into their own herds. They are doing
this at the expense of few dollars
per COW more than they would have
to pay for a poor cow. They are do
ing the right thing, for if the other
men refuse to bo instructed they
must necessarily suffer the loss OF
their best animals. A cow that will
make profit of $50 year is GER
tainly worth twice as much as the
COW that will make only $25 profit
In year, yet the foolish man that
sells the better COW will part with
her for $35 when he would want $23
for poor cow. Every farmer should
Investigate the matter and as quickly
as possible get rid of his expensive
! poor cows.-Farmers' Review.

If the dairy herd is to be improved or
increased by breeding your additions
to it, do not let any false ideas of econ
omy in feeding spoil all the cumulative
advantages you may possess in the
heifer from heredity. She is started to-
ward cowhood before she has finished
her growth; so therefore to continue
her growth and at the same time devel-
op her material functions and supply
the elements of growth and life to the
unborn offspring is a three-fold de-
mand that can only be met by wise and
generous feeding. By lack of it good
cow is stultified into the crowded stalls

THE QUEEN OF COWS.
Her Name IL Sadie and ~ u Milk
ing Machine She Has No Equal

Utica, n. Y, has recently won dis
tinction through a Holstein-Friesian
cow, Sadie by name. which-or per-
referred to as 'who''-is a resident
of that place. Sadie has broken the
worlds 3O-day record for milk-giv-
ing and butter producing. This is no
easy thing for COW to do, but re-
ports are to the effect that Sadie ac-
complished the trick without showing
any signs of nervous collapse or ut
tering solitary moo of complaint.
In the 80 days during which Sadie
was put to the test she produced a
fraction over 1854 pounds of milk,
from which was extracted 1923 pounds
sX ounces of butter. In other words

ficient to drown her if it had been

MIX Substitutes for Calves.


The rearing Of calves on various milk
substitutes has been fairly tested at
the Pennsylvania station. From the re-
suits the following conclusions seem
warranted: There il little difficulty
raising prime dairy calves without
milk after they are two weeks old. The
cost Of raising calves on = milk substi-
tute, up to the time they can be put
upon q hay and grain ration, or when
they are between three and four
months of age. need not exceed ten dol
lars, exclusive Of care. Calves from
hieh-class, well-bred dairy stock, when
raised in this way, are worth much
more than they cost, and afford the
only means by which q milk dairyman
can raise his herd toa high standard Of
excellence. 8.
