TURNING COWS ON PASTURE.

Every owner of cow welcomes the
time when the animal can be turned
out TO pasture. Not only is the labor
and s&pense involved in winter feed
ing done away with, but every COW
is expected to give the best results Of
the year when on grass. In changing
from dry feed TO grass. it Is well to
go somewhat slowly, especially if the
flow of milk is large. The young,
immature grass, especially in early
spring, as is well known. contains a
large amount of water, condition
commonly called washy. Wheat and
rye pastures are of the same nature.
The dry feed ration should, therefore,
be continued and be gradually re-
duced for two weeks or more after
the grass is large enough TO support
the cows.-C. III. Eckles, of the Mis-
souri, Experiment Station.

one most favored Is the model In
which each box pleat extends above
the fiOunce proper in a tab effect, OF
two TO five inches in length. Two or
three little buttons. or one larger one
appears to catch it, The same idea
may figure In the short square pleated
jacket reaching hardly to the waist
line. In this case the full pleated
sleeves are also put onto top pieces
to the yoke, onto which
the pleats OF the jacket are caught.

similar common acts of every day life

In addition thereto a number of ex-
ercises while in a reclining position are
prescribed. Most of these consist in
movements of the lower limbs, by
which the activity OF the muscles and
their control are preserved. Most of
them require no mechanical aids but
all must be done under supervision.

cow. This fact shows the importance

when the COW cannot procure water

den. Some weeks ago a man killed a
doe neaf Hillsdale, N Y, for which
he will have to pay dearly. The doe
was first seen by Charles Burtch. a
horse trainer, and was being pursued
by two dogs. He mounted a running
pony and drove the dogs off. The doe
was then nearly tired out, and allowed
Mr.. Burtch to stroke It's head. The
deer wandered away and went into a
neighbor's barnyard, where she lay
down. and was killed by the farmer.
The game wardens were notified and
the man was arrested.-Springfie

BUTTER FROM A SMALL HERD.

Our milk is separated as soon as
possible after milking. The cream is
cooled as quickly as possible, and kept
at n temperature Of about fifty de-
grees until about twenty-fOur hours be-
fore churning. Then I warm it TO
seventy degrees, and keep it as near
that as possible until shortly before
churning, when cool it to about sixty
degrees. We are making ut present
about forty-two pounds butter per
week and pack it in pound Jumps. At
present time we are milking six cows.
lJTlt usually milk more than that and
sell again in the near future. Our
COWS are mostly grade Jerseys. They
are fed slage twice n day. with hay
at noon, and corn meal and cottonseed
twice day.-Mrs. T.. V. Winn. in

ADVANTAGE OF BREED.

AS a proof of the advantage Of breed
and the excellence of individual mem
bers of herd it may be mentioned
that all attempts to change the qua!-
ity of the milk Of COW by the use
OF particular foods have failed. The
quantity may be increased or dimin'
ished by the amount or kind of food,
but each cows milk will be different
from that of the others, and with the
same treatment one cow may yield
milk containing twice as much butter
fat as those in the same herd with
her.
