PROTECT THE COWS.
Cold Rains and Raw Winds Decrease
the Flow of MILK.

Professor L. L. Hacker, writing on
the fall care Of cows, strongly empha-
sizes the necessity Of giving them care
full attention at this season. He says:
One night or even few hours of
cold rain cause an enormous shrink

70 f9ll rains, left out during cold nights
or confined in muddy or wet yards at
any time.
Tie proof of this theory was clearly
demonstrated by the Minnesota sta
ton herd two years ago. Some changes
were being made in the cow barn
which made it inconvenient to stable
the COWS for a few days, and just then
a cold, rainy spell set in, to which
the COWS were exposed. There was
not only very marked shrinkage in
milk and butter fat at once. but they
failed to recover during the winter,
though the feed was liberal and care
the best that could be given. The COWS
gave 1911 pounds Of milk and S
pound Of butter fat a day during the
winter 1t was known when the
shrinkage took place and why, but the
attempt to recover it failed. The next
year such an experience was guarded
against, and the same herd gave
daily average Of 2S.4 pounds Of milk
and IL pounds Of fat.

There are hundreds and hundreds of
COWS kept for dairy purposes in this
sEfate which do not yield sufficient to
sDay for the feed which they consume.
.3says a dailyman in Iowa AgricuIturist.
Scr they consume as much feed as do
&Ile profitable ones and require as much
slime and care in milking. There was
"a time when a dairy COW was not eX-
Dected to give milk for more than six
months in the year, but with the pres

condition Of affairs can no longer profit
ably exist. The lactation period should
sDe at least nine months III length. The
amount of milk a cow should produce
30 be profitable is variOuSly stated at
from 5000 to 5000 pounds annually or
sufficient to yield from 200 to $40
pounds of butter fat This would vary,
of course, with the locality. price of laz
bor feed, etc However, it is safe to
say that a cow which with reasonably
good care does not produce the lesser
OF these amounts is not a profitable
animal. Yet how large a percentage
of so called dairy COWS will stand this
test?
In order to determine accurately a
COWS usefulness as a dairy animal it
is we'll to weigh one days milk every
week or ten days during the lactation
period. At the same time a sample
should be taken for testing. The time
of freshening should also be noted in
order to determine the length Of the
3actatiOn period. good plan is to
keep book account with each COW,
charging her with cost of feed con-
Sumed and labor expended and credit
ing her with value of milk and calf. In
this way it will not be difficult to pick
out the nonpaying individuals.

Gravity Dreaming in the private dairy
loses more fat than most farmers
dream of. If ice is used at once after
milking to reduce the water around
the cans to about 40 degrees F. the fat
will rise, leaving not more than one
fifth Of 1 per cent; but if the water
is 30 degrees, more will be left, per-
haps one-half Of l per cent, and if the
water is 60 degrees or above, l per cent
or more will be left in the skim milk.
This 1 per cent or more is third Or a
half Of all the fat in the milk. This
suggests that the private dairyman
should have a quantity Of ice for use
through the summer season. at least If
such arrangements can be made

Percentage of Cream la Milk.

The percentage of cream in milk
ranges all The way from S to %. This
of course depends upon how thorough
lY the milk is separated from butter
fat 1t does not always follow that
milk containing high percentage of
cream contains a high percentage of
butter fat For instance, the milk Of
an Illinois dairyman contained s per
cent cream and 3.8 per cent butter fat,
while another contained % per cent Of
cream and only 3.3 per cent OF fat.

Feeding For Milk

There is growing appreciation Of
the utility as a feeding stuff Of corn
slower, a substance which has hereto
fore been wasted throughout the coun-
try, says Hoad's Dairyman. 1t is es-
timated that at the nominal value Of
81 ton the corn slower crop in the
United States would be worth at least
$1OO,OOO,OOO.
Amount of Hay to Feed.
Feed each cow all the hay she will
eat with keen relish and absolutely no
more She should lick the manger
clean of every edible particle Of hay.
In addition to this, for every ten
pounds Of milk let her have one pound
of oilmeal and two pounds Of oats and
daily not less than two ounces Of salt.
Pumpkin Seeds and Dairy Cows.
There is a common impression that
the seeds should be removed from
pumpkins before feeding them to dairy
COWS and that they have tendency to
decrease the flow of milk. There does
not appear to be we'll grounded
foundation for this belief. A great
many successful dairymen feed pump
kins without removing the seeds, and
do not know Of any case where test
has been made that has verified the be-
lief that pumpkin seeds have tenden-
cy to decrease the milk flow Of dairy
cows.-C. F. Curtiss, Iowa Experiment
Station.
Grain For Dairy Cattle.
Feeds produced ON the farm are Of
ten adulterated with cheap stuff, Of
no value to increase the profits. Do
not let any man tell you that there is
no value in farm raised oats and corn
ground together for milk making and
that the purchased concentrates are
always the cheapest. Remember that
no experiment has ever proved that
grain to exceed seven to eight pounds
q day cow has ever paid in the dairy
except with now and then phenom-
email COW. All feeding and watering
should be regular. Farmer.
Home Grown Protein.
The New Jersey station does excel
lent work in the study Of economical
cow feeding, says H. E. Cook in Ma
tionaI Stockman. Everything about
the station dairy has an air Of the
practical doing of things that a dairy
man likes to observe. Their conclusion
In feeding home grown protein foods
in comparison with purchased cOncen-
trates shows very marked results in
favor of the home grown. In one ex-
pertinent home grown foods alfalfa

duced milk at cost Of 500 cents per
100 pounds, while the purchased pro-
tein feeds produced milk at a cost OF
$50 cents per 100 pounds.

In a test made at the New Jersey
station a home grown ration made up
Of thirty-siX pounds of cowpea silage
and ten pounds Of crimson clover hay,

says Hoards Dairyman. She quickly

A Name With a History.

a certain historical sentiment Is
attached to the name OF the Peres-
Wet, one OF the big Russian battle
ships at Port Arthur which has
thus far, apparently, escaped in
jury. That name was borne by
one of the principal vessels of the
little Russian squadron which Wis
tied New York during our civil
war-the first Russian warship to
enter the harbor. That was not,
as some have been saying. in the
winter of I862-'63. the darkest
days of the war" but in the fall Of
1863. The ships spent several
weeks here, and the officers and
crew were entertained, both pub
licly and privately, with lavish
hospitality. The Peresviet Of those
days was then much visited and
admired. But she would cut a
puny figure beside the steelclad
monster that now bears her name

5000 Miles To Disappointment.

St. Louis, Mo-, July 26.-Foot-
sore, travel-stained and weary, Re-
naldo Walce, a British subject from
San Jose, Costa RIGA, has reached
the Worlds Fair, after walk of
5000 miles, only to find that he
had been deluded by a mythical
prize of SIS, 900, which he had
heard had been offered by the Ex-
position Company to the person
who walked the longest distance to
attend the Fair.
Almost at the same moment that
Walce came another long distance
pedestrian arrived at the World S
Fair Grounds in the person of
Mauritius Hechter of Bucharest,
Roumania, who had also attempted
a long-distance walk and who has
met with defeat. Hechter started
to walk to St. Louis from Buchsr-
est. He undertook to reach here
by July 7. He arrived many days
late, and then only after giving up
his journey a.foot in Washington
and taking a train. The prize he
was after was one of $40, 900 francs
offered by the Roumanian Touring
Club, of which Crown Prince Fer
dinand is President.
Walce had much the longest
Journey to make. There were no
oceans i'll his path and every foot
of the way he walked. He left the
little town Of Esparta, in Costa
Rica on Dec. 7. In January he
was in Nicaragua, in February he
passed through San Salvador and
in April he reached the City of
Mexico.

immigration From Italy.

New York is beginning to won
lie. if Italy isn't pearly depopu-
.ated. For several years Italian
i,nmigl ants have been arriving at
that port by the hundreds of
thousands. until it seems as
though there can be but few left
IN the little country over the seas.
Italian immigration has again set
in, however. early as it is in the
year. and the prospects are that
there will be greater numbers
coming from that country during
the present year than ever before.
Ten thousand have arrived during
the last two weeks and 5000 more
are expected any day. Informa-
ton from abroad is to the effect
hat every steamship that is to sal.
from Italian ports during the next
three months has had every inch
of space engaged for immigrants,
and many thousands who cannot
get passage from Italy will go
over to Germany and come on
German ships A good many of
those coming in now are those
who went over last fall to spend
the winter IN Itaiy.

ON CHARACTER BUILDING.

Those erlinently earnest citizens,
and there are not a few of them,
who spend sleepless nights in pom
deriug upon the evils of using the
rod as a corrective upon youthful
America, viii find little comfort in
study of the up-bringing of the
man whom the democrats of this
nation have chosen as their STAN
dard bearer in this great campaign.
The aged mother of Judge Parker.
in telling recently of his boyhood
days, said:
Il began to use the switch on
Alton when he was young, and I
attribute much of his goodness as
a boy and his success as a man to
these early corrective measures
This, it must be acknowledged,
is testimony from a highly authori-
tative source. Of the switchings,
and that there were many of them,
there can be no question. Nor can
there be any question of the ex-
ceeding high character of the man
who is the outcome of that much
birched youth. This high personal
character. more than any other one
thing, brought about the nomina-
ton of Judge Parker for the pres
idency.
1t may be that the corrective
measures did not play the impor-
tant part in the development of this
character that the fond mother
imagines; but surely it cannot be
seriously contended that they had
an i'll effect upon the youth des.in-
ed to greatest distinction.
The adage. spare the rod and
spoil the child will continue to
do business at the old stand long
after the voices of the eminent and
earnest dreamers who preach
against corporal punishment have
been stilled.-Atlanta Constitu-
ton.

A Cabinet Minister. Phone qrsph.

Since his accession to the British
cabinet Mr.. Graham Murray had
made still greater use of the
phonograph for the conduct of
his correspondence as secretary
of state for Scotland than he did
during the period when he acted
as lord advocate in the same de-
partment. Some FIVE or six Goz-
en- records" are now constantly
in use, and to these the minister
dictates the replies to his numer-
Gus letters, together with a mass
of other detail work connectei
with the office over which he pre-
sides. These are then forwarded
to London. if he happens to be
in Scotland, and the contents are
taken down by his secretaries in
Whitehall. This done. the rec
ords" are scraped off and the cyl
inders are once more ready for
use. By keeping a phonograph
both in London and Scotland the
secretary of state alone among his
colleagues in Mr.. Balfour's recon-
structed cabinet. is able to give
vivavoce instructions to his de-
partment at a distance OF so.ae
hundreds of miles.
