Toxic. Thursday, March 10.-The
report of Vice Admiral Kamimura, in
command of the Vladiyostok naval ex-
pedition, reached the navy q
ment here early this morning. 1t ev-
identity came by way of Gensan, where
the squadron vas expected 10 call
upon its return. The report throws
little additional light on the move

the Russian squadron remained safely
within Vladivostok harbor. under the
protection of the shore batteries. Ad-

his report anything concerning Pus-

Stone and Brick SfIOs.

Stone, brick or grout silos are usual
~ more expensive than wooden ones,
but in return they will last longer when
carefully built, says Professor Taylor
Of the New Hampshire station. The
walls should be at least sixteen inches
thick and should be jacketed with
wood ON the outside to prevent injury
from frost and to form dead air spaces,
which will insure preservation of the
silage clear to the wall. These silos
must be made smooth on the inside by
means of a heavy coat of a first class
cement. Since the acid juices are apt
to gradually soften the cement, it may
be found necessary to protect the coat
ing by whitewash of pure cement
every other year before the silo is
filed. If this precaution is taken the
silo will last for generations. Some of
the first silos built in this country have
been filled every year without deterio-
rating perceptibly

j. 3. Danko in IN. address delivered
before lie Wisconsin dairgmeus CON
xenton said:
As to the care Of the dairy COW. one
of the best general rules to observe is
to keep tie COW rs comfortable ana
contented as possible. If the COW is
not comfortable and contented the
owner will always be the loser. Ii the
cows are allowed to stand out in the
cold during severe weather q certa n
amount of food viii be required to
keep the body warm, which had she
been in warm stable would have
been transformed into milk and butter.
In order to succeed as a dairyman a
person must be in sympathy with his
cattle He must be a keen observer
and thorough with his work even to
the smallest detail and have a love for
his stock that will cause him to work
from early in the morning until late at
night If need be in ministering to the
wants of his cattle, so that they may
be comfortable and contented.
During the winter they should be
kept In comfortable stalls in a warm,
well ventilated stable and let out for a
short time on pleasant days for exer-
else. If it is necessary to turn them
out for water a tank heater should be
used to keep the ice from gathering on
the trough, and the COWS should be
put back into the stable as soon as
possible when the weather is severe or
stormy.
Improving the Dairy Hero.
A good cow is good cow, no mat
ter what her breed may be. Therefore
let the farmer choose the dairy breed
that he considers best suited to his
conditions and stick to it. This is the
opinion expressed by W. A. Clemens
in Farmers Advocate. Let him breed
MS selected COWS to the best availa-
bic bull Of that breed and continue to
grade up his herd to higher degree of
excellence year by year.
The practice followed by some farm
ers Of using bulls, first of one breed
and then of another, is fatal to all
plans for building up uniform, hand
some and profitable herd Of grade COWS,
and that is just what most farmers re-
quire. 1t was breeding with a pur-
pose in view that enabled the late E.
ID. Ti!ison of Ontario to build up a
working herd of dairy cows that was
probably unequaled in Canada One
of his grade COWS produced 90 132
pounds of milk in a year, five others
gave from 1900 to 1852 pounds, and
the whole herd of siXty-fiye cows made
q yearly average Of nearly 10000
pounds.

WATER FOR The COWS.
The Amount Is Determined by Their

Size 11EkCE 4 led.
How much water does milk COW
need daily? The size and Yield Of the
cow are the main things rhat deter
mine this. The larger cow and the lar,
ger yieldcr need more water than the
| smaller COW and the smaller yielder,
says j. l. Van Doren in New York
Farmer.
Ordinarily the small COW drinks from
six TO eight gallons Of water in TWEEN
ty-four hours, and the large cow drinks
from seven to nine gallons. There is
no fixed measure, as no two cows. even
of the same breed or Of the same
weight or on the same rations of the
same feed and yielding practically the
same quantity Of milk Of the same
quality, will drink exactly the same
quantity of water
l have one small COW that seems to
be satisfied with five gallons Of water
a day, while another one of her weight
takes seven gallons. A neighbOr has
large Holstein-F riesian cow that
drinks over ten gallons day and an
OluCI QuIlC dS ld1 sc CAdL IdACo OAiAJ
eight and half gallons.
My experience is that the younger
cows require more water and that
there is a decrease each year in the
water taken as the cow grows older.
In some cases even this does not hold
good. A COW out Of sorts will drink
more or less as she is chilly or fever
ish
Indigestion, pasturage, changes in ra-
ton, irregularity In feeding and milk
ing and the amount of exercise are fac
tors that influence the drinking Of the
milk cow. The character Of the food
has much influence. Dry foods call
for more water. Succulent food car
ries its own water largely. The cow
on pasture needs less and drinks less
water than the cow on dry feed. In
providing a supply Of water for a herd
It Is we'll to furnish the water and let
the COWS measure their drinks for
themselves. Then they will get the
proper amount at the proper time.
Running water and individual drinking
vessels In the stalls will solve the prob
lem Of water and drinking perfectly.

To Tell a Good Dairy Animal

The good dairy COW doesn't belong
to any breed exclusively, but is found
in all breeds, says w A. Peterson in
Farm, Stock and Home. The first
requisite of dairy cow is large feed
ing powers. The more raw material
she can make use of, other things be-
ing equal, the better the COW. An ami
mails feeding capacity can be closely
ascertained by it's conformation, it de-
pending largely upon the size Of the
middle or barrel. The first and most
important point in determining the
size of the barrel is depth Of body
through the middle; then come length
of body from shoulder to hook points
and it's breadth through the middle. A
broad muzzle and strong jaw are also
desirable.

The Good Mixer.

Very few dairymen realize the i'm

American Agriculturist. In fact, in
this country it is difficult to find man
who is a good mixer and at the same

Keep the animals in the best condition
and feed them as they should be.
When a man of this kind is secured he

Hints For Milk Farmers

Do not use wooden pals. Discard all
Whey should be emptied as soon as it
arrives at the farm. Milk cans and
pals should be washed with a brush
and lukewarm water, in which little
sal soda has been dissolved, then scald-
ed and placed on their sides in the
sun. Scour with salt occasionally. Do
not use cloth to either wash or wipe
utensils.-American Cultivator.
Butter Salt.
Salt for butter should be Of the very
best quality. When added to the but
ter it should be distributed with a
sieve. This will work up all Jumps and
distribute it more evenly throughout
the mass
The Si1age OdOr.
Silage butter is just as good as any
other kind. Experts have tested it
time and again and can find no fault
However, if milk is allowed to stand
in the barns where silage is being fed,
it absorbs the Odors and bad results
follow
Profit In Winter Dairying.
The winter dairy pays best. There
fore breed the most of your COWS in
December and January, and they will
be fresh in September and October
following, says c. w. Pratt in Farm
Visitor Decide on the breed and stick
to it. There are many worthless cows
in every breed.
When to Churn.
Churn your cream when slightly
acid and do not put it off to suit your
convenience. Here is where you lose
money. Churning temperature should
be 81 degrees in summer and GA in
winter. If you feed cotton seed i'll
winter you can go to 68 or 70, and il
will do not harm. The lower the bet

Learn to Milk.
