Life of a Dairy Cow.

The question is asked if high feed
ing and large production will not wear
out dairy COW in very few years.
says L. w. Lightly in National Stock
man. put the question to an old and
experienced dairyman and feeder. and
his reply struck me as very sensible.
"The better fed and cared for the
cows the longer they lasted and gave
me good profit" The dairy COW as
we know her is machine to convert
feed into milk, and, so far as we have
learned. no COW will work beyond her
capacity under normal conditions-that
Is, unless forced to it by drugs or IN
natural feeds. In fact the COW that
has plenty of easily digested food
should last longer than the one that
must rustic for living most of her
time. as the body Is better nourished
with less energy expended to get that
nourishment. Experience and observe
ton seem to confirm this. If the large
production Of milk and butter is ex-
hausting to the animal and will tend
to wear out the secreting machinery
the fact has certainly never been dem
onStrated.

Cause of Lockiaw.

Lockjaw, or tetanus, is caused BY a
bacillus or germ which exists plenti-
fully in street dirt. 1t is inactive so
long as exposed to the air, but when
carried beneath the skin, as in the
wounds caused by percussion caps or
by rusty nails, and when the air is
excluded the germ is reused to activi-
ty and produces the most virulent poi
son known. These germs may be de-
stroyed and all danger of lockjaw
avoided by applying Chamberlain's
Pain Balm freely as soon as the injury
is received. Pain Balm is an antisep-
tic and causes cuts, bruises and like
injuries to heal without maturation
and in one third the time required by
the usual treatment. 1t is for sale by

Raising Horses For Market

The question of buying, selling or
raising horses has undergone a great
change during the past few years, says
New York farmer in American Agri-
culturist.
have been engaged in breeding and
importing horses for the past twenty
five years and have naturally made a
study Of the different breeds and the
results Of crossing them on our COM
mon mares to get good selling, useful
market horses. The French coach
horse have found to be one of the
best breeds to get good coach and car
riage horses for our city markets.
These horses cross best on our common
road or trotting bred mares. Speed
and size in the mares is good thing
If you have it, but high class carriage
horses can be produced without it
You must have size, quality and high
action in the stallion to get the very
best results.
Walking Gait of Horses.
The walk of young horse is largely
influenced by the driver. If you put a
horse into the care Of slow, idle man,
or if a young horse is driven by slow,
careless man, the animal will acquire
habit of slow motion that it will be
difficult to overcome. In majority of
cases slow. trailing gait makes really
harder work for the horse. A moder.
ately quick walk, with at least all or.
binary farm work, eXhausts the animal
less than slow gait.
Training Young Horses.
So far as conditions will permit, a
young horse that is being trained fol
work should be worked with an older
animal that has been trained to move
fairly quickly, as he will not only be 8
more valuable animal, but prove more
profitable to his owner.
Comb and Brush.
Many farm horses do pretty well
without any acquaintance with CONT
and brush, but those who get little
of 1t do better and are infinitely more
comfortable, says National Stockman
A few minutes of comb and brush, the
comb used lightly and the brush with
considerable elbow grease. will make
big difference to the horse. He will
work with less fretting and more free,
dom and will do enough more work to
pay for the time spent in cleaning his
hide.
Horses In the United States.
On Jan. /, 1904, there We're in the
United States 16,736,O59 horses. Three
states have over a million horses each
Texas leading with 1,252,714, followed
by Iowa with 1,156,016 and Illinois
with 1,120,276. In the live stock Gen.
sus the average valuation is about $6s
head, an Increase of 50 over 1901.

Fattening sheep Economically,

Having selected your lambs for fu-
ture breeders, prepare the rest for fat
tening, says u Michigan farmer in
American Agriculturist. Have the best
pasture available and water handy.
Be sure there Is no shrinkage during
the fall, but steady gain. To insure
this give them shelter and wind
break when the nights grow cold, with
moderate and regular rations Of corn.
according to the pasture.
When grass disappears give them
warm barns and no exposure to bleak
winds, allowing exercise in The yard
on fine days. Be sure they are free
from ticks and disease. Insect pow
lers may help some, but will scarcely
take the place of the summer wash,
which is now, on account Of colds, rath-
er dangerous.

Age of Cow and Milk Yield.

At the Cornell station it was found
that the cost of milk was greatest in
two-year-old heifers and decreased up
to four years of age, after which it re-
manned constant. The gain in milk
yield between the ages of two and
three years was 5 per cent, between
three and four years IS per cent and
10 per cent between four years and
the age of greatest production. At the
Ohio station it was shown that the
COW gave constantly increasing milk
yield for a given amount of feed up to
seven years of age, after which slow
decline was observed until the eleventh
year Of age.

CAR ISSUES SOME ORDERS.
PeremptoriIy Commands kouropatkin
to Retake Lao Yanu.


London, Sept. 1.-THE Daily Nails
Sinmintin correspondent says: Gen
eral Kouropatkin has returned to Muk-
den after inspecting the Notifications
at Tie pass, work on which was we'll
advanced, but which is being hurried
along. At the same time dangerous
and costly efforts to delay the Japa-
nese advance are being made. I learn
from Russian sources that this is the
outcome of the emperor's orders and
that the emperor even peremptorily
commanded Kouropatkin to retake
Lao Yang. There is no abatement
in the retreat of the Russian troops
northward. The uoise of a fierce ar
tillery engagement was heard south of
Mukden Saturday night. The forces
sent to Tapingshen, south of Mukden,
were attacked by Japanese marks
men, who were invisible. The Rus
sian troops sent to Tapingshen re-
treated with heavy loss.
What little news was received from
the Manchurian theater of war indi-
Gates the almost entire suspension Of
active operations by both Russians
and Japanese.
All this mornings papers agree in
the belief that somewhat prolonged
inactivity around Mukden will ensue.
Bennett Burleigh sends to the Daily
Telegraph from Japanese headquar-
tiers long description of the fight
ing at Lao Yang. He says: General
Kuroki, who was holly attacked by
Kouropatkin and was for time in
Jeopardy was unable to get astride the
railway otherwise Lao Yang would
have been a Sedan for the Russians.
What surprised me more than any
thing else was the wonderful manner
in which the Japanese continued for
whole week their awful lombard
ment of the Russian positions. It
was the fiercest artillery attack, per-
haps. in history. Tens of thousands
of shells were thrown daily, but the
supplies of them seemed inexhausti.

A Swiss scientist, DR.. Gerber, gives
the following as some of the causes of
bad or tainted milk:
Poor. decayed fodder or irrational
methods of feeding.
Poor, dirty water used for drinking

Foul air in COW stable or the cows
lying in their own dung.
Lack of cleanliness in milking ma
nure particles on udder.
Keeping the milk long in too warm,
poorly ventilated and dirty places.
Neglecting to cool the milk rapidly
directly after milking.

Feeding the Milk Maker

The possibility of feeding fat into
milk has been the subject of no little
controversy and also Of considerable
experimental investigation by our ex-
pertinent stations, says Prairie Farm
er. The results Of these have Indicated
that the quantity of fat could be in
creased little except by a process Of
feeding that would increase the yield
of milk and that the percentage of fat
in the milk could not be appreciably
affected except through change in the
succulence of the ration, in which case
the total amount of fat would remain
much the same, or through some eX-
ternal influence that would cause a
sudden shrinkage in the yield Of milk
In these experiments the cows were
of course equally well fed in all cases.
Oats For the Dairy Cow.
From practical experience we know
that oats are splendid milk and butter
maker and tissue builder says L. w.
Lightly in National Stockman Yet in
practical feeding we learn that COW
does better on well selected variety
than on single feed, however good
it may be. Hence it might not be
amiss to exchange at least some oats
for bran and feed combination of the
two.
Cut and Whole Fodder.
The Wisconsin experiment station
has made some experiments with the
effect Of cut and whole fodder upon
milk production which show beyond
question the superiority of cut or shred
ded fodder. "A given quantity Of milk
was produced by feeding 1888 pounds
Of whole stock, whereas to produce
the same quantity Of milk under sim
liar conditions required only 721
pounds Of cut fodder but little over
half the amount of material.
Cows With Abnormal Appetites.
Sometimes q lack of salt will cause
cows to chew bones, leather and SINH
lar substances, but usually 1T indicates
lack Of sufficient mineral matter in
the food, says III. G. Manchester in
Rural New Yorker. Cows that are
largely fed upon silage made from I'M
ripe corn will act in this manner If
the cows are fed grain of which bran
forms a good proportion they will get
sufficient mineral matter Try giving
them spoonful of bone dust daily in
the grain food for few days, or a
little blood meal.

The Taiior's Argument.

In '"Thru1nS' lived a merchant tailor
who ordered from friend, a book
agent, complete set of an encyclo-
pedia which was being published in
monthly parts. All went we'll till the
delivery of the last volume, which
proved to be about one-half larger
than any of the others. Delivery was
refused on the ground that the vol
ume was not according to sample and
broke the uniformity Of the set. Mr.
Comrie Thompson was then acting
sheriff substitute for Forfarshire, and
the resulting case came before him.
The plaintiff stated his case, and Mr..
Thompson then advised the defendant
to take delivery, adding:
"Now, Mr.. -, don't be foolish. If
the book is larger, they don't propose
to charge you anything extra, and you
ought to consider you are having a
bargain"
WELL" pleaded the defendant, "I'm
tailor, and if your lordship were to
order coat from me- and l quoted q
price and afterward delivered the coat
a half size bigger than you wanted it,
] you would have no doubt, refuse de-
livery. And | might then say: Don't
be foolish, sheriff. The coat, it's true,
is much larger than you want, but the
sASoth is the same, and won't make
Syany extra charge. You ought to con-

FALL CATTLE FEEDING.
Corn ON tAe Stalk a Good Starter For
Fattenfng,


Corn ON tae Stalk a Good Starter For
Fat.enfng.
The most satisfactory feed, price con-
side-ed. for fall feeding is fodder corn,
by which is meant corn on the stalk,
says III. R. Smith of the University Of
Nebraska in Breeders Gazette. Such
corn can be scattered on the grass or
fed in tight bottomed racks. Feeding
in racks is preferable, because pigs run
ming behind cattle to pick up droppings
are not then able to muss the corn.
About five pounds of corn per steer is
safe to start with. This may be late
in September or early in October, ac-
cording to the season. Fodder corn can
be fed just as soon as the kernels are
hard, while the stalks are yet fairly
green-in other words, when sufficient
ly ripe to put in the shock. This feed
should be increased gradually so long
as the cattle consume the leaves and
upper part of the stalk.
1t is reasonable to suppose that they
will take eight or nine pounds of corn
each per day along with about that
weight of stalk accompanying the corn
There will be consumed with this con.
siderable grass pasture, which, if either
blue grass or clover, will supply suf-
ficient protein to make up what is def
Gent in the corn fodder.
When winter sets in and grass is no
longer available in the field the cattle
should be placed in a feed lot Of mod
crate size provided with shed open
on the side of prevailing winds. The
open lot without wind protection is toe
attitudes. On the other hand, there is
also danger of too much warmth. Base
ment barns or sheds closed on all sides
make fattening cattle uncomfortably
warm. This is especially true when
cattle are in good flesh.
Due regard should also be given tc
fresh water supply and drainage. Mud
dy yards are not conducive to good
gains. Steers which are tempted to lie
down when not eating at the rack are
always making better use of the feeG
given them. They will not lie down as
much as they should if the yards are
in bad condition. The liberal use OF
bedding is saving Of feed.
Half full feed of corn on the stalk
supplemented with either good clover
alfalfa or cowpea hay, is very efficient
and economical ration for early win.
ter feeding. Should the further in,
crease of corn be in the shape Of fod
der corn it vii! mean either waste OF
stalk or a failure to consume sufficient
hay to supply protein requirements
Rather than cut down the supply OF
protein rich roughness by feeding ex.
cessively on stalks, substituting in its
stead commercial protein concentrates
like oilmeal, it is ordinarily cheaper to
introduce at this stage snapped corn
or ear corn. A gradual substitution OF
snapped corn for fodder corn will now
increase the proportion of concentrates
which is desirable as fattening pro
crosses. At the same time as much
clover, alfalfa or cowpea hay is being
consumed as formerly. A steer weigh
ing 900 to 1000 pounds will consume
about eight pounds per day of sucl
| hay, which amount will satisfactoril,
meet protein requirements.

silage For Reef Making.

Professor Soule of the Tennessee ex-
pertinent station in a recent letter says:
"The relative feeding value Of the dry
foods as compared with silage for beef
making is shown in the following state
ment: Cattle on silage gained in $50
days SS7 pounds, on corn slower 5S2
pounds, on sorghum fodder 692 pounds
and on Kaffir corn 624 pounds. Silage
thus had practically onethird greater
feeding value than corn slower
