Care of Cow at CaIvinq Time.

There is probably no other time dur
ing a cows lacatiOn period, when kind
treatment counts for so much as at
the time of calving. A little extra
care just before and after calving, may
more than double the profit of the
COW for that period, while carelessnes
may be the means of losing the COW.
She is in a more or less feverish and
eXcitable condition at this time, and
she will greatly appreciate a pail of
warm water, and it will help to attract
her affections to you, so that when the
calf is removed from her, she will
yield her milk quite as graciOusly to
you as she did to her own progeny.
Strong, thrifty calves cannot be ex-
pected from COWS that have received
poor feed and poor care previous to
calving time. The COW must be sup
piled with wholesome and nutritious
feed, containing the elements that are
necessary to the proper development
of bone and muscle in the fetus. 1t
is better for the COW, and we believe
better for her record in the production
of milk and butter fat, if she can go
dry for six or eight weeks previous to
calving. If it is impossible to dry her
up without injuring the udder, contln-
uous milking should be practlced.
Where the COW has access to good
pasture with plenty of spring water,
she needs little or no attention until
two or three days before calv1ng. Ii
she has secluded, shady and other
wise comfortable quarters, separate
from the other cattle, and is care

The best COW in the herd produced
6,145 lbs. of milk go lbs. of butter,
and the poorest only 1882 lbs. of milk,
and 6S lbs. of butter Yet this farmer
did not realize that there was much
difference in the productive powers of
dairy COWS, until he kept a record of
each one.
When the amount of feed that the
herd consumed was calculated, it was
found that the COWS had run their
owner in debt $3.50 per head In
other words, he could have sold the
grain and hay that was fed to each
COW for $3.50 more than he received
for his butter at the creamery. Of
course, he had the skimmilk, calves
and manure left, which would easily
pay for the labor and extra feed, and
still make a better market for his
grain than selling it in the city.
But we should not be satisfied with
such results when we know that it is
practical to have the butter pay for
the cows keeping and yield us a profit
besides.
This man had % COWS which run
him in debt $126 that is, the value OF
the butter which this herd produced
was S126 less than what the feed
would have sold for in the market.
Many of the poor producing COWS were
sold and a better ration was fed dur
ing the second year, and the herd
yielded a profit of $12 per COW. the
man MIXED fewer COWS in the second
wear but made money.
Was it not practical thing for this
man to test his COWS and dispose of
the ones that were robbing him of
profit? 1t is easier to weigh and test
milk of the whole herd than it is to
feed and milk lot of worthless COWS,
and, moreover, there is great comfort
in knowing that every COW In the
herd is a profitable animal.
But the test was not all, for as soon
as he began to test each COW, he began
to study each ones needs and how to
feed her properly. In previous years,
he had cut his hay wnen it was ripe,
because it cured quicker, but through
study he learned that this bound up
the nutriment, so that it was almost
impossible for the cow to use it. He
also learned by cutting his hay when
it was just coming into bloom that it
made better feed.
What better argument can we bring
than the story of this mans exper-
fence. to prove that it pays to know?

The Farm Cream Separator.

The cream separator for farm use
is here to stay. 1t has proven it's
utility, and we want to impress upon
those of our readers with mich COWS
the absolute necessity of making use
of it's undiSputable advantages. In
many cases it would be more profit
able to sell one of your COWS to pay
for separator, rather than do with
out one. For we know of instances
where farmers with five to ten COWS
have found that a cream separator &C
tually added to the profits as much as
another COW would, and remember
that this profit kept right along with
have to pay for the keep of the extra
COW, but the separator makes the
profit and keeps itself.
Some farmers prefer to sell their
cream to the creamery, others to
churn it at home. Dairymen with a
select butter or cream trade have
learned that they can only obtain and
hold the extra price they receive by
producing high grade article possible
only by using a separator.
Moreover, separator keeps the
valuable skim milk right at home in
it's best condition, ready to feed to the
young stock when warm and fresh.
Many farmers are now losing the pro-
fit from this by-product of their herd,
and may be contracting a whole lot of
trouble in the cold sour lot of mixed
skim milk brought home from the
creamery. We certainly advise our
readers to purchase a cream separa-
tor.
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1905-11-01

fully watched by an attendant, she
may need no other attention, until
after the calf is dropped. Sometimes
luxuriant pastures will stimulate
heavy mixers to produce too much
milk prior to calving, in which case
the supply of feed should be reduced,
and in extreme cases the milk re-
moved before calving.
When kept on dry feed, care should
be taken to provide plenty of succul-
ence. Ensilage and roots serve an ex-
cellent purpose, the object being to
keep the bowels loose. When alfalfa
or clover hay is used for roughness
very little grain is necessary. With
less heterogeneous rough feeds a grain
mixture of two-thirds bran and one
third oil-meal is excellent.
In cool or cold weather, the COW
should be placed in a box stall, well
lighted, with plenty of ventilation.
When the calf is dropped, it is we'll to
blanket the COW until she regains her
normal condition. In the absence OF
anything better, gunny sacks sewed
together will do very well. Light,
loosening feeds, water from which the
chill has been taken off should be
given. Cold water is liable to cause
contraction of the womb, and reten-
ton of the afterbirth. If the latter is
not discharged in from "a to AZ hours,
it should be removed. If the udder is
heated and caKed, it is advisable to
milk the COW frequently, though not
quite dry, and the udder should be
steamed by rubbing with a flannel
cloth, dipped in as hot water as the
hand will bear, after which the udder
should be rubbed dry and treated with
camphor, olive oil, or camphorated
vaseline If there are any signs OF
constipation it is well to administer
from one and one-half to two lbs. OF
EPSON salts dissolved in water. All
these points will aid materially in
keeping the cow in a good, healthy
condition, and consequently give the
calf a good, healthy start.
AS soon as the calf is licked dry by
it's mother, it should have strength
enough to rise and suck; if it has not,
it should be assisted. The calf may
be taken away from it's mother after
it's first meal, or, if preferred, can be
left with the COW until the milk is
SOOu. IL Is cdol0I W CCoSh IhO Ne'iA
to drink, if it is taken away early.
Our experience is that if the calf is
taken away at once, or when four or
five days old, it will make good gains
the first week, but if left two or three
weeks, the first seven days after wean-
ing will be a losing period. Ii the
cows udder is caked, it is desirable
to leave the calf with her, as the
rubbing of the calf tends to alleviate
the Inflammation
