POLLED JERSEY HEIFER.

last season were by Polled Jersey
sire, but out Of horned A j c. G cows.
A large majority Of the calves from
such cross are without horns. When
the calf does have horns the result Of
the second cross is almost sure to be a
Polled animal. The American Polled
Jersey Cattle company has provided a
supplementary herd book for register
ing these animals, If females, as fOun-
dation stock, the produce of which Is
eligible to record in the American
Polled Jersey herd book The Polled
Jersey heifer Ensign's Champion, here
with shown, was exhibited last fall at
the New York state fair, where she
was awarded first prize.

When the dairyman has a sufficient
number of heifers in milk, all by the
same thoroughbred sire, to supplant the
original herd of promiscuously selected
dairy cows from which his heifers We're
bred ne has an element of uniformity
in the younger herd that with good for
tune may be turned to much adyan-
tage, says Hank ComstOck in Farmers
Advocate. For them he must select a
new herd bull unless perchance he has
coupled some of the older ones with
their own sire, which in case he was OF
great merit might be an exceedingly
good move thus early in the grading Of
herd.
To get second bull to nick we'll
win his young herd is the great desid-
eratum. If he secures one that Is close
kin to the first bull used and the rela-
tionship springs from the best animals
In the pedigree of the first bull his
chances will be favored. All of the
young herd partake of the first bulls
quality, and to find a nick for that in
one Of them is to nick it in many others
if not all.
II his first bull was of an established
family long famous in the breed from
which he was chosen it can generally
be ascertained which other strains
within the breed have furnished the
greatest performing crosses for his
best strain of blood These out crosses
! should also be considered in selecting
the new bull
Few dairymen ever give any cOnsid-
Grafton to these points, but get what
they are led to suppose is we'll bred
bull for each cross and hazard the
chances Of the new harmonizing with
the old. The most successful breeders
Of high class performers In all fixed
breeds understand and give heed to
those points, and to them the exact
lines Of pedigree are as a chart to the
mariner.

Get Acquainted with Your Cows.

That is the advice of Wallaces Farm
er to those Of it's readers who take milk
to creameries. Then the Farmer ex-
plains what 1t means by the phrase
getting acquainted with your cows"
1t is curious fact, but one that Is as
true as the multiplication table, that
there are thousands upon thousands Of
farmers who really know less about
their cows than any other animal on
the farm. They never know how
much milk they give or how much but
ter or cheese they make or how many
in the herd are paying for their board

A Good Combination.

Alfalfa and ensilage combined fur
nish a feed that can almost invari
ably be depended upon, no matter what
the season is, and when grain fails
will keep stock in good condition and
when grain is available will enable
the feeder to put on gains rapidly with

The POlIed Jersey.

Polled Jerseys are simply Jerseys
without horns. They have the same
characteristics and practically the same
blood as the horned Jerseys. The de-
sirable feature about them is that they
are hOrnless, writes w. Fl. Forbes Of

SilaSe and the Silo

King gives the following statements
in regard to building stone silos, says
Hoard's Dairyman:
''The portion Of the silO wall which
! is below ground better be about two
feet thick and laid in cement rather
than lime, the cement being desirable
because lime mortar becomes hard so
very slowly in heavy walls, especially
below ground After the wall is two
feet above ground good lime mortar
may be used, but in this case there
ought to be at least two months for
the wall to season and set before fill
ing. The upper portion Of the silO
wall need not be heavier than eighteen
inches, and if the size of stone permits
Of it the outer surface Of the wall
may be drawn gradually to thick
ness Of twelve inches at the top"
Palntability of Silage.
Cows as we'll as other stock have
wonderful liking for silage, and 1 be-
lieve much Of the success in feeding
it can be attributed to it's palatability,
said C. P. Goodrich at Round Up insti-
tute, Eau Claire, Wis. They even pre-
fer it, to a certain extent at least, to
fresh cut forage or good grass in the
pastures. I have seen cows in June
when on good pastures, which had been
fed silage every day come to the gate
at 4 o'clock in the afternoon and bel
low and ask to come to the barn and
get silage, which they would eat greed
lily and with apparently great relish. I
have seen the experiment made OF Of
fering cows at the same time corn cut
fresh from the field and silage that
was put up the year before. Every
cow chose the silage and ate that first
Feeding silage to Cows. {
Most cows will like silage the first
time they taste it; few will mince at
it for few feeds, but-for few feeds
only. 1t is best not to feed too heavily
to cow just learning to eat it. have
had cows eat greedily of it the first few
feeds and then become turned against
it, but little bit in their trough for
few feeds and they are all right again.
For cow, though, which is used to it
nothing under eighteen or twenty
pounds to feed will gorge herr. B.

Sowing Corn For Stage.
How thick to plant corn for silage
depends somewhat on local conditions,
says Hoard's Dairyman. Professor
Hacker of Minnesota sows about thir-
ty quarts Of corn per acre, and no ears
develop when sown so thickly. Mr..
Gurler Of De Kalb, ILL.,, sows In rows
twelve quarts Of seed per acre, and
fair sized ears of corn develop. It is a
rule Of many dairymen to sow twice
as much seed for silage as they do
when they wish to have ears develop.
About eight quarts Of seed per acre are
usually sown for silage purposes.

THE BUTTERMAKER

The following rules are necessary for
the manufacture of first class butter:
First, cleanliness must be observed
from the barn to the market; this is
the foundation upon which all else
rests. Second, the process of ripening
cream for the churn must be under
stood; this step must be well learned,
as a large amount of bad butter is due
to oversOur or bitter cream. Third, the
thermometer must be frequently used
and studied. Fourth, use only the best
kind Of dairy salt; the common grocery
kind is unfit Fifth, learn how to work
the butter; get an experienced hand to
teach you the way; don't work it too
much, but preserve the grain; over
worked greasy butter is an abOmina-
ton. Sixth, put it in attractive pack
ages, neatly made up and each wrap
ped in good parchment butter paper
American CultivatOr.
Notified Butter.
Notified butter is usually caused by
uneven distribution of salt, says
Hoard's Dairyman. 1t used to be the
custom to work the butter twice, but
most creamerles now work the butter
but once, although if the butter is
found notified and streaked after it
has been worked once it Is better to re-
work it until the notifies and streaks
have disappeared.
MIX That Affects Butter.
Answering the query, "Will the milk
4of,avcow that has beennmilkingf for six
teen months and Is not in calf be liable
to injure the quality of the butter?'
Hoard's Dairyman says: A COW that
has been milking for sixteen months is
very likely to give milk that will affect
the butter. Milk from cows we'll along
in the period of lactation is apt to be
bitter, stringy and strong. AS rule, a
cow should not be MIXED much over
ten months, although many cows will
give good milk for a much longer pc
Rod A great deal depends upon the in
cdividual COW.
Overheating Milk.
Overheating the milk will give the
butter an oily appearance, thereby in
.juring the body of the butter unless
the cream is cooled down to 80 degrees
f. and held there for four to five hours
before churning. In the winter milk
should be separated at a temperature
of 50 degrees f.; in summer, Is to so
degrees F:-Hoard's Dairyman.

Change Of Feeds Desirable.

Milk producing foods should be fed
to the dairy COW. not fattening foods.
A variety should be provided when pos
sible. A change in the feed every few
days will be quite acceptable to the
dairy cow

a judicial impartiality, yet with a

real commencement Of the great Civil

time with a volunteer company to Har-

bears the plain stamp OF sincerity and

imaginary to mar its 0ircctncss.
The same might be said in regard to
Colonel O'Ferrall's war experiences.
