SPRING FEEDING OF COWS.
Prevent Interference with
Milk Yield.

The warm or changeable days of
spring present new problems to the
| feeder of the dairy COW. 1t is neither
winter nor summer but the transition
| period and we hardly know how to
meet it. The COW feels the change, and,
| like ourself, loses her appetite some
what and Graves a different kind of
food, or at least smaller quantities of
the fat and heat producing winter ra-
tions.
We shall probably find that corn
slower is not relished as it was, but that
! small amounts of clover or even tim
! othy will be eaten in preference. We
! generally aim to have the stover about
consumed by the first of April and to
feed it afterward only occasionally as
variety. AS we have no silo cannot
| speak from the standpoint of the silage
advocate, who claims that silage is rel
ished during the warm days of spring
before the grass can be used as succulent
food.
If we have no silage we must depend
chiefly upon clover hay for the bulky
rations this month, being careful to feed
only what they will eat up clean. Ii
the COWS have access to bright straw
or clover chaff it will be noticed that they
will eat much of it atthis time of the year.
Dat straw is especially desirable for
warm weather before grass appears if it
! has been kept bright and dry. 1t is
cool and palatable to the dairy COW. 1t
is good plan to save some good oat
! 10 hoI Of
year.
The grain ration should also be va
ried so as to contain smaller amount
of fat-forming foods. Corn should be
used more sparingly. If mixture of
ground corn and oats is fed, diminish
the proportion of corn, include the cob
and increase the proportion of oats.
| More bran is also desirable.
One of the worst mistakes of some
dairymen is to turn the cows out to
pasture at the first start of the grass,
says the Farm and Live Stock Journal.
OF course, the COW relishes what little
succulent food she can get, but she will
run over the whole field and perhaps
tramp down what there is or injure it
badly if the ground be soft, and yet
| get little real nOurishment, for there is
little solid food material in the earliest
spring growths. Worst of all, when
she comes to the barn at night she will
refuse to eat as she did before, but will
wait with a stomach almost empty for
another taste of grass Like the inebri-
ate, if she had not been allowed that first
intoxicating draught of spring, she
would have gone about her business and
eaten her rations as before. Now she is
uneasy and dissatisfied, has lost her ap-
petite for dry foods, and, of course, the
flow of milk diminishes. Treating the
dairy herd in this manner will make
spring the most Improbable season OF
the year. No, we must keep our COWS
in the yards until they can get almost a
maintenance ration of grass. 1t may
seem little cruel but 1t is best for both
the COW and the profits of dairying.

put in the accounting department. In
1902 he was made deputy general man
ager, which post he filled ably till the
withdrawal of General Manager John
Young, whom he succeeded. Mr.. Dali
rymple has the service of Glasgow and
all British cities at his fingers ends,
and, besides, possesses good common
sense and judgment. He Is As years
old.
During the late mayoralty campaign
Mr.. Dalrymple wrote letter to Judge
Dunno setting forth the advantages of
municipal ownership of tramways as
experienced in Glasgow, and this docu-
ment in pamphlet form was used with
much effect in the campaign for
manipulation in this city. Immedi-
ately after his election Judge Dunno
cabled to the lord provost of Glasgow
asking him to send Mr.. Dalrymple to
Chicago To this request the provost
and the corporation of Glasgow cor
daily assented. Mr.. Dalrymples ex-
penses to Chicago will be betrayed by
Mayor Dunno.

tire confidence of the leading Chinese
officials, Mr. Rockhill will enter upon
his work under the most advantageous
conditions.
The new minister is charged with
the duty of interpreting to President
Roosevelt and Secretary Hay the poll
cies of China and the European powers
and also of explaining to China the
attitude of our nation. Most important
of all is his task of promoting the COM
mercial interests of the United States
in that country and in advising China
of the path she must follow in order
to recover Manchuria from either Rus
STA or Japan and maintain her terri
tory intact
Mr. Rockhills interest in oriental
countries and their affairs began in
1884, when he became second secre-
tary of the Picking legation. He re-
manned in Picking until 1885, when he
became charge d'affaires in Korea Be-
tween 1883 and 1892 he made two
journeys of exploration in China, Mon
golia and Thibet. President Mckinley
recognized his expert knowledge in
1900 when he appointed him special
commissioner to China. While away
from the orient as assistant secretary
of state at Washington, minister to
Greece and director of the bureau of
American republics, he has continued
adding to his store of knowledge Of
the orient, and has written a number
on various branches of his favorite
subject.
