Train the Heifer.

1t is a matter Of the greatest difficult
ty to set a COW back to her flow of
milk when it has once been permitted
to shrink. From the time she becomes
fresh until she has been in milk nine or
ten months the dairy COW should be
kept up to her full capacity This is es-
pecially important with young heifers.
The gift Of continuance is valuable
gift in a cow anu to acquire it She
mast be trained when young.

Ridiculous Fads That Spring From a
SCATTERING of Knowledge.
A famous physician upon being asked
recently what is the chief cause of i'll
health replied: Thinking and talking
about it all the time This ceaseless
introspection in which so many of the
rising generation of nervous folk in
dulge is certainly wearing them out
When they are not worrying as to
whether they sleep too much or too lit
tie they are fidgeting over the amount
of food they take or the quantity of eS-
ercise necessary for health In short
they never give themselves Il moments
peace. Our grandfathers did not con-
Germ themselves with these questions
They ate drank, slept, as nature
prompted them. Undoubtedly they
We're healthier in mind and body for
their sublime Indifference. and if we
asked ourselves fewer questions we
should have less time to analyze or i'm
agine ailments.

some present day undesirable conditions
lies not with the doctor. but with the
patient There has been too great Il
tendency on the part of the laity to ac-
quire 4 smattering of medical knowl-
edge through the reading of so called
health magazines and pamphlets and
to put into practice on their own ac-
count that little knowledge which, it
cannot be denied is a dangerous
thing The following of some most
ridiculous fads along the lines of eat
inc. drinking, sleeping and exercise has
assisted in swelling the mortality sta
tistics. Our grandfathers would hold
up their hands in horror at many of the
foolish things we do III the name Of
health" 4 little more of the COM

The perches are poles two or three
inches in diameter. Between the floor
and dropping platform is another plat
form two feet wide, on which the nests

The nests are sometimes boxes made
of short pieces Of board but usually
are small boxes, bought at the grocery

To Determine n COWS Pregnancy.

The COW to be tested.is MIXED sepa-
rately. and as soon as possible after
the milk is drawn dip a straw or
timothy stem in the bucket of milk.
Have a glass of pure water Mt hand
and allow Il drop of the milk to fall in
the water only one. If the milk quick
~ dissipates and renders the water
murky the COW is not in calf, but if the
milk drop sinks to the bottom of the
glass before mixing with the water she
is pregnant. says Kate NJ. Busick in
Holstein-Friesian Register.
Ifyou are not sufficiently expert, take
the milk Of another COW that has new
" calyed ana pursue the same treat
ment With both at the same time, and
you will not fail TO note the difference
in the way the drop of milk will mix
with the water. | have practiced this
method Of determining pregnancy III

it to fail.

Feeding MIX Cows.

While we have always advocated lib
eral feeding for milk cows, we do not
wish to be understood that all COWS
will do better for having heavy grain
ration, says American Cultiyator.
There are many that have inherited
the beef milking tendency from some
ancestor of the Shorthorn or the Here
ford blood that will persist i'll putting
ON fat if literally fed With grain. or at
least With cornmeal Whole corn is
better as Il milk producing food, but
the COW that insists upon growing fat
instead of giving more milk when grain
fed is usually best disposed of to the
butcher BY proper care in proportion
ing her feed she may be kept in milk,
but it is usually better to let her fatten
and go to the butcher and fill her place
with Il COW that was naturally destin-
ed as Il iAili producer

Teaching Hens to Eat Glover.

When | first fed cut. clover in their
mash the hens would eat the grain out
and leave the coarser pieces of clover
and some Of the finer ones, says a
Maine breeder in Commercial Poultry.
I fed for several weeks and had to
throw away a large part of the clover.
At last | got a bag of fancy middlings
nearly as fine as flour and used good
quantity Of this with the other grain,
making the mash quite doughty The
grain adhered to the clover, and they
would eat all to get the grain. It
wasn't long before they would pick
out the clover first. After they got
used TO eating it up clean with the
middlings there was little trouble when
l left them out. But | prefer a good
quality Of niddlings in the mash when
clover is included, as they seem to like
it better.
