The Orv Cow.


In some of our exchanges we notice
wise advice on how long COW should
go dry and the benefits of rest
period of six weeks to two months.
NOW COWS differ so enormously in
tnat regard that what may be a
good rest period for one COW would
not be needed by another. It is doubt
less true that COW should have from
one to two months rest from milk CIV
ing. At the same time we know that
there are some COWS of exceptional
vlgor that cannot be induced to 20 dry
at all. The writer has seen COWS that
could not be dried up and that were
at the same time large mixers and
gave milk that carried a very good
percentage of fat. It is altogether
probable that, as we develop the milk
giving tendency in our COWS, we de-
stroy the tendency to go dry for con-
siderable period. If that is true, and
1t seems to be, the time will come
when the perpetual mixer will be the
rule among our best cows, whether we
desire it or not. We would like to
hear from our readers their expert
ences OF the dry seasons of the best
COWS they ever owned. These expert
ences should make interesting reading.

Profits in Guinea Hens

The guinea, which is so despised
by so many people, l think is one of
the most interesting and profitable
fowls that we have on the farm. They
are great foragers in summer time
when insects and weed seeds are plen-
tiful. They will make their own liv-
ing on the two articles named above,
either or both of which are a pest to
the farmer. You can trust them in
your garden. They will not bother any,
thing that you want. When the wealth
er gets warm in spring you can count
on one egg from each hen every day,
rain or shine. While eggs are not as
large as some eggs, if you want to sell
them they will bring the same price
as other eggs. If you want to eat
them you can't find a finer favored
egg. If you want to eat the guineas
the young ones are just splendid. l
don't think they can be beat by any
fowl. l think white guineas are best,
as their flesh is whittier and their skin
is more yellow, and they are not SO
wild as the colored ones. The white
guineas will usually lay where the
chicken hens lay, especially if they
have been raised by chicken hens,
which I think is the best way to raise
them. I expect to have white guineas
while / have chickens.

How Feed Ground Grain.


The manner of feeding ground grain
is question that from time to time re-
ceives much attention from the agri-
culturalists of the country. It would
seem that the matter is not
easily settled or it would not
be forever recurring. Some men
feed their ground grain dry
and some wet. The general practice
is probably to feed it wet, especially
in winter time and where hot water is
easily obtainable for mixing it. There
has been belief among our farmers
that a partly cooked food was more
easily digested than an unlocked one.
Others have believed that the cows
liked the hot mess better than a cold
one or dry one and that, as a matter
Of increasing the comfort of the ami
mails. it was better to feed the ground
grain wet. But men that have looked
into the matter a good deal think and
say that it is better to feed it dry, as
the COW then has to spend more time
in eating it, and so it is more thor
oughly mixed with the saliva. What
are the opinions of our readers on this
matter?

Reckless Feedinu of Grain.

Some men never feed grain to their
COWS and some go to the other ex-
IRENE and feed too much, thus vast
ing high-priced feed material. Only
the man that is to some extent an ex-
perimenter can tell exactly where the
dividing line between profitable and
Improbable feeding of grain is. It is
now pretty we'll established that the
men that have been feeding from fif-
teen to twenty pounds of grain per
day to their cows have been wasting
a good deal Of money. When the
roughage is good hay and silage, from
five to ten pounds of grain per day is
sufficient for all needs in winter, and
half of that quantity will do in sum-
mer. The feeding Of too much grain
induces many intestinal diseases and
troubles in cows, Just as overlooking
a human being would do.

Who Adds the Formalin?

Talking recently with Professor
Eaton of the Illinois Pure Food Com
mission, a representative of the Farm
ers' Review was told that the farmers
that produce the milk are not the
ones that, as general thing, add the
formalin. The farmer keeps the milk
but short time after it is drawn, and
during that short time it will not sour.
1t is the man that keeps it longest
that has the most occasion for add
ing preservatives to it. This may in
some cases be the buyer and in others
the peddler. Occasionally the con-
sumner is guilty of the same act, think
ing that it is harmless way Of keep.

esttng to have a thorough investiga-
ton made Of the use of preservatives
by farmers supplying milk to Chicago.

Feeding Meat.

We have raised poultry for years,
and have fed meat in various ways:
have tried many experiments; and
after all our work we really cannot
say that meat food is a valuable egg
producer, or that it increases the fer
tility of the eggs. Where fowls are
confined in pens, meat food is more
necessary than where they have a
large range; and we think crushed
green bone is the best form of meat
food. Where fowls have range they
do not suffer for meat food. Pure wa
ter in abundance, grain and green
food are needed to make poultry pay
A variety Of grains and green or sue
culent foods are far more important
than meat.

Shall we feed the; cows before or

we would say feed the cow after milk

knows that the constant movement of
the COW is very annoying to the mixer

ing OF the cows in reaching for the

more OF an objection. The hay or

currents of air over the mixers and
gets into the pals. 1t not infrequent-
~ happens that undesirable ferments

made the whole affair distasteful. To
a girl who was little more than a
child the game had seemed capital
fun at first, and she was fattered by
the appeal for help, but prolonged IA
miliarity with Edward had destroyed
her zeal. She was relieved one day
when he confided to her that he was
going away to see Amy.
Say nothing till come back" he
implored.
THAT depends" was all she would
say.
While he was away his little cousin
Joan came to visit Claudia in the ter
raced garden. The two girls sat in
the low chairs near the. sun dial, while
Claudia reluctantly suffered a cate
chism concerning her engagement.
Now, Joan had talent for making
revelations, which were sometimes of
mischievous kind, and sometimes by
chance had benefcent results. She
was herself always unconscious both
of the revelation and of it's conse.
Quences. On this occasion she ex-
celled herself.
What a lucky thing it is you're
going to marry Edward" she said.
'Lucky?" said Claudia, with a Sc
cret shudder; "why?"
well, only know this" Joan went
on, anxious to justify herself. "About
two months ago-just before this
dreadful illness of Aunt Alicia began
II myself heard her tell Edward she
wouldn't leave him penny. unless he
married you. So there!"
Then Joan prattled on gayly about
wedding presents and the rent of
houses, of becoming hats, and motor

in love made people dull; they seemed
interested in nothing. Suddenly Clau.
