The Enchantress

Oh she can cook and she can sew,
She translates from the Greek.
And there's fresh and healthy glow
That's roselike, on her cheek;
She sells things to the magazines,
Her name is widely known,
She was but lately in her teens.
Would that she were my own.
She's beautiful as well as wise
She's willowy and sweet;
Oh. If might win such a prize
How glad my heart would beat!
But I'm afraid no such a maid

She passes when my visions fade

COWS AT CALMING TIME.
Feeding Before and After This Pc
riOd-Value of Hot Water

Feeding Before and After This Pc
riOd-Value of Hot Water
Our cows are literally fed at all
times OF the year. After they are dry
they are, Of course, fed less. The Grain
feed at this time is usually mill feed
bran and middlings or so called mixed
feed-writes III. e. Cook in American
Agricultural. Oats are as good and at
an equal price would be preferable.
Hay and silage make the coarse fod-
der ration. If they calve in summer
time and there is disposition to a
caked or infiamed udder, we keep them
in the barn for time.
/ am satisfied it is bad practice to
reduce the feed while dry to a point
where the cow loses nerve and muscu-
lar force. If the feed is properly bal
anced and the ash content Of the ration
is necessary, there will be no danger
Of infammatin-in fact, l find where
the system is nourished and strong
there Is less danger of retention of the
afterbirth and caked udders The main
reason for this fear is the custom of
feeding at this time feeds lacking in
protein and ash, a practice sure to
bring trouble.
/ have known farmers to feed four
quarts of oats just after calving and
feel sure it was the cause of the cow
getting on we'll. This is tradition-feed
her oats for four weeks before, and I
am sure good will come from the prac-
tice. Cows fed in this way will pass
through the ordeal easily.
prefer to have them by themselves
in box stalls, not in an adjoining room,
but in the same stable where the tenn
perature Is the same and they feel
quite at home AS soon as the calf is
dropped give the cow all the hot wa
ter she will drink. The animal is more
or less feverish and needs water, but
not cold or even cool water. / would
prefer to give small quantity of cold
than none at ALL But hot water-just
as hot as she will take twill take out
the kinks and do more good than a
Y. S. and drug store combined. Try it.
5 Whether the calf should stay with
the mother is of less Importance and
may be nonessential. 1t will largely
depend upon the popularity of the
mother. If she is inclined to hold up
her milk when the calf is taken away
l would not let it SUCK but milk her
and feed the calf. If the udder is
caked and the COW is not irritated by
the calf it will be quick and easy
way Of reducing the udder to a nor
NAL condition. It is natures method.
I do not believe the mother and calf
should be separated from sight at once
after birth. 1t is not natural and Gre
ates an unrest, often damaging to the
future Of the cow. The individuality
of the mother should be noted and
catered to at this time rather than
the arbitrary judgment of the owner

Feeding the Dairy Cow

A good cow is a milk making ma
chine. Usually she will give milk in
proportion to the feed given. If milk
is the object it pays to feed the right
kind of feed literally. If milk is want
ed only for family use it may be that
she does not need to be fed to her full
capacity.

Ailments and Cures

Ropy milk is almost invariably caus-
ed by drinking from stagnant water.
It appears mostly in summer and fall
months. The one way of preventing it
is to keep the herd on good, clean
ground and have the udders washed
and wiped before milking-Farm Jour-
nal
Scours In Calves.
Allowing the calf to become very
hungry and then allowing it to con-
sumo large quantities in a rapid man
ner is a very common cause Of scours,
writes E. NJ. Kitchener, " NJ. D., in
Farm Journal The young calf should
have it's days allowance given in not
less than four separate feeds of equal
quantity and at regular intervals OF
time No sudden changes should be
made in quality or quantity of food.
Contributing causes of scours are spoil
ed or tainted food, unclean drinking
vessels, dark, damp, poorly ventilated
and unclean stables.
In treatment of scours diminish the
amount Of food, give one dose Of from
one to three ounces of castor oil on an
empty stomach. If the case is severe
follow with this prescription: Take Of
salol one dram, soda bicarbonate four
drains. Mix and divide into six pow
ders. Give one powder every three to
five hours, according to the age and
strength Of the animal.
Contagious Abortion.
Cows that have aborted should be
washed out with / per cent solution
Of creolin or lysol, continuing this daily
until all discharge has stopped. Preg-
nant cows should be given sodium hy-
posulphite once daily in tablespoonful
doses as q drench When cows abort
in pasture great care should be taken
to burn the offspring on the spot where
it dropped, and the immediate vicinity
should be thoroughly limed.-Farm and
