President Adams OH Dairying.

The first speaker was president-elect
Frank S. Adams, of Bowdoin, who dis
cussed some everyday problems on q
dairy farm. He received the most hearty
ty applause which placed him at his
ease at once. His time was limited, hut
it was used to good advantage. he
spoke os the splendid Topsham fair
and said that the score card system had
been satisfactory in SagadahOc county.
The speaker said that experience has
shown him there were many problems
in connection with dairying. The breed
| ing problem was one. Once we had
called the cow machine but that idea
had been repudiated by all the speakers
at this meeting. 1t is impossible to biiy
cows we want; we must breed them.
The character of country can be judg'
ed by the kind of cattle they keep.
Evolution has brought us all up from a
lower state. Our ancestors were once
savages, but we have grown to the civil.
zation of Maine.
Both men and animals deteriorate faster
than they advance unless the conditions
are right. The dog can go back to the
can 90 back to the wild breed unless
properly bred and kept. We must fivst
look well to the foundation stock and
then surround them with the best con-
ditions.
The Jersey COW met unfavorable con-
ditions when she first came to Maine
and she deteriorated. She lis now advanc-
ing because we know more of the su b.
ject of breeding. Her quality of milk is
fixed, we now want to increase the guam
tity.
Mr.. Adams said that he was not be-
lever in the dual purpose COW. No man
could afford TO fool with that PROPOSE
ton. To be successful you must use
pare blood and then carefully guard its
progress. Unfavorable conditions VIII
cause all crops to go back. Don't let
the heifer come in too early. 1t is bet
ter to let them wait until they are three
years old.
The Jersey is persistent mixer and
is disposed to never go dry. If co@
gives milk up to the time of calving her
progeny is bound to be weak. Grounh
oats is one of the best of feeds for calves.
The Jersey cows are more lacking in
the fore udder than any other part. If
We can solve the problem of how to
breed true and strong it will be great
boon to the dairy industry.
1.-THE feed problem" continued Mr..
Adams, sis an important one." We can
raise the starch foods in Maine, but
more difficult to raise the protein foods.
1t is discouraging to pay so much to the
miller. Now, this need not be. We can
raise peas and oats and better than all,
clover. Alfalfa is grand plant and un-
less we can find substitute that will
grow here fear the West will beat MS
out. Glover stands next on the list. We
do not give it fair chance when we
SOW it with other grasses. Sow it alone
if you want it to do it's best. 1t will
then be strong and vigorous and the
plant will develop so as to stand out
Maine winters.
"Hay has been called the king of crops
with us and the statement is right. NJ"
own method has been to feed clover to
Jersey cows in summer and no grain has
been necessary. Glover must solve the
problem of protein and enable us to
compete with the alfalfa men of the
West. ."-Lewiston Journal report Of
State Dairymen's Association.

HOW TO PREVENT GROUP.

It will be good news to the mothers
of small children to learn that Group
can be prevented. The first sign OF
croup is hoarseness. A day or two be.
fore the attack the child becomes hoarse.
This is soon followed by o peculiar
rough cough. Give Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy freely as soon as the
child becomes hoarse, or even after the
rough cough appears, and it will dispe!
all symptoms Of Group. In this way all
danger and anxiety may oe avo,aea. s.
This remedy is used by many thousanas
of mothers and has never been known to
fail. It is, in fact, the only remedy that
can always be depended upon and tina,
is pleasant and easy to take. For sale oy

PROFIT

The matter of feed is Of
tremendous Importance to the
farmer. Wrong feeding is
loss. Right feeding is profit
The up-to-date farmer knows
what to feed his COWS to get
the most milk, his pigs to get
the most pork, his hens to
get the most eggs. Science.
But how about the children!
Are they fed according to
science, a bone food if bones
are soft and undeveloped, a
flesh and muscle food if they
are thin and weak and a blood
food if there is anemial
SCOTS Emulsion is a mixed
food; the Cod Liver Oil in it
makes flesh, blood and muscle,
the Lime and Soda make bone
and brain. 1t is the standard
scientific food for delicate
children.

The problem Of drainage is frequent
ly difficult one. When possible, tile
drainage is always the best method OF
disposing of standing water. Rubole
drains, which have been used to large
extent in Maine, are costly and as a rule
not wholly satisfactory. The time snd
labor spent in handling the rocks will
cost far more than the necessary tile
The amount of earth that must be
handled in digging ditch wide enough
for stone drain is also more than twice
that needed for good tile drain
