The Web Spinning Ant.

One of the most interesting observa-
tons made in ant life, says Andrew
Wilson, the scientist, was that which
showed that a certain red ant has
evolved the habit of web spinning. The
ways of this species were noted in the
botanic gardens at Peradeniya, Ceylon,
by E. G. Green. The extraordinary
part of the story is that these ants
used larvae as their spinning machines,
the larvae employing their silk threads.
used to make the cocoons, as their sew
ing machines. Mr.. Green took some
leaves which had been sewed together
by the ants and unfaStened the stitch
es. The separated edges were drawn
together by the ants, and then, an hour
afterward, the larvae or grubs, held
in the mouths of the ants, were seen
to be passed backward and forward
across the gaps made in the leaves.
The movements of the grubs were du-
ly directed by the ants, and the silk
threads spun by the mouths of the lar
vac soon repaired the defects in the
leaves,

Development OF Heifers.

It is not at all unusual for heifers
who have done excellently well the
first season either not to improve with
second calf or sometimes, indeed, to
fall back. On the contrary, some
heifers that do poorly with first calf
will show. very decided improvement
with the second calf. There are no
hard and fast rules for judging the
capacity Of heifers to develop into first
class cows. OF course, if heifer with
first calf does very poorly and shows
a decided temperament or tendency
for converting feed into body fat rath-
err than into milk the chances are
that she will not make a profitable
cow, and, yet, if she comes from a
decided dairy ancestry, it is we'll not
to come to hasty conclusions, but give
her the benefit Of a second years trial

A PROFITABLE HERD.
What Pure Bred Cows DO On a Penn
sylvanfa Dairy Farm.

syIVan10 E0rm.
The Springdale herd of Holstein cat
tie. in Bradford county, Pa, is a prac-
teal working herd. says one of the
owners, G. NJ. Lyon, in American Aeri-
culturist. Tie calves when few
hours old are taken from their dams
and fed whole milk for two or three
weeks. The whole milk is gradually
changed to sweet skim milk. When
skim milk is scarce q Cruel is made
of oilmeal. wheat middlings and corn
meal. The calves learn to eat mixed
hay, corn silage, wheat bran and whole
oats when four 70 six weeks old. 1t
is always desirable to keep the dairy
calf growing and in good, thrifty con-
dition, but not fat.
The calves, yearlings and cows are
fed balanced ration. For roughage,
corn silage and mixed hay are fed in
winter and pasture and soiling crops
in summer. The grain ration consists
of wheat bran, gluten feed and oilmeal,
fed twice each day when stabbed. The
quantity depends on the animal, but
the mature COWS, when in full flow, re-
ceive from eight to ten pounds grain
mixture per day. The heifers freshen
when about two years old and general
~ produce forty pounds Of milk per
day, testing 3.5 to AZ per cent fat.
We keep Holsteins because they are
profitable. The sales of milk and cream
from our herd in 1903 averaged little
over 500 per head. The cost of keep
averaged $40 per cow. The cash earn
ings of such a cow for eight years
would be $500 from milk and cream,
and to this amount must be added the
value of her eight calves. If the calves
were sold at only $50 apiece, and that
would be small price for calves from
such cows, they would add 5000 to her
earnings, swelling the total to $1,000.
If her cost of keep averaged $40 a
year the total for eight years would be
$500. This leaves $3.50 for the net earn
ings. What price can q dairy farmer
afford to pay for such COW? Had she
been purchased for $500 before drop
ping her first calf she would in the
eight years repay her purchase money
and leave $3.50 profit to her owner. At
5000 she would leave him $780, Where
did we get such COWS? Well, we raised
them. Believing that the sire is half
the herd, we purchased our first regis
tered Holstein bull in 1895 and saved
our best heifer calves. This bull was
followed by others of note. By the
use of such bulls and raising only the
heifer calves from the best COWS the
production of an ordinary herd can be
time the net profits can be more than
doubled.

Breaking Cows OF Self Sucking,

Here is a sure and simple way to
keep a cow from sucking herself, says
an Oklahoma farmer in Breeders Ca
zette. Get hollow perforated bit, put
it in her mouth with strap of proper
length to pass from one end of the
bit behind the horns or pole in front
of the ears and fasten it to the other
end Of the bit. If the bit cannot be
procured piece of No. II smooth wire
loosely twisted, wire doubled, will an
swer. The theory is this: The wind
passing through the bit or wire keeps
the cow all right. Do not have the
strap too tight or the cows mouth will
get sore, especially if wire is used.
