DAIRY WISDOM.

When calves are kept in the stable,
they should be given, now and then, q
piece of sod with the earth attached.
Why calves should crave this sort
of thing is hard to explain, but they do
and it should be supplied.
Give . fresh lot Of early-cut clover
hay every day, and remove any that is
not eaten before more is put in.
Never allow COW to calve in the pas
ture. The young thing in such cases
partakes Of the wild, and it is never over
come.
II it is a heifer, it will never make a
perfectly docile COW. II bull, it will
be wild and vicious.

Of each COW! Simply to find out which
COW is the thief, carrying the bag, with
nothing in if: r you.

be kept in the stable during the Aeat of

given to them.

DAlRYINC WITH SlLACE.
It II the Only Successful Method
Getting tho Best Results from
the Silo.

The dairy farmer who undertakes to
carry his operations through the win
ter without silage has uphill work all
the time. The prosperous dairy far
er seeds down 20 or Is acres every year,
keeps his straw under cover'and grows
q good field of corn for silage every
year. The solution of the question Of
making cheap milk lies in the silo, for,
in the opinion of the Farmers Review,
good corn silage is undoubtedly the best
and cheapest milk-producing food that
has yet been grown. To get best results
it must be made from well-matured
corn, and intelligently fed. The cutting
IL very important, more SO than
most people imagine. In the first
place good, well-built cutters must be
employed, for after the corn is cut in
the field. it should be put through the
cutter and into the silo as rapidly as
possible. The shorter the lengths are
cut the closer they pack in the silo;
hence use a machine which has ample
capacity to do the cutting in short
lengths and do it fast. Just keep in
mind that you are handling green
stuff, with the object of putting it up
green. 1t is no trick to make good
silage-hefe is the recipe: Cut the
corn when the kernels are well glazed;
fill the silo as rapidly as possible; cut
the stalks into pieces, say an inch long
shorter would be better; tramp down
the corners we'll. sec that the silo ia
perfectly air-tight-then you have it.

Why don't you take more pains to

Why don't you send away that. lit

complish any good.
Why don't you speak out the encour-

thoughts? Unless you express then
they are Of no use to others.
Why don't you make the promised
visit to that invalid? She is looking
for you day after day, and "hope DE-
fe1red maketh the heart sick"
Why don't you answer your friends
letter at once? 1t will have double
value if written promptly, and will
take no more time than by and by.

HINTS FOR COW sTAsLE.
No Objection to Storing Hay In the
Loft II the Flooring BE
Tight. .,

There is often doubt in the minds
Of some dairymen whether room over
which hay is stored can be safely used
for sanitary milk production, says H.
E. Cook, of New York. This sentiment
is no doubt based upon the loose cell
ing Of former years from which chafr
and dirt were constantly falling. It
can have no foundation in fact, when
the stable ceiling is constructed as
herein described. In our northern lati-
tudes, living rooms for COWS should
not be over eight and one-half to nine
feet from floor to ceiling. We are there
fore compelled to build q floor between
the animals and the roof. Why not
use this loft for storage, whether it be
high or low? A track with car can be
placed in the ridge Of this loft,
where it is not convenient to drive
above, and hay can be filed in easily
and cheaply. If the ceiling is perfectly
tight, as it should be, there can be no
objection . storing hay or straw above
the stable Only q few of the certified
da1ries have hay in separate building;
the dust OF hay is, of course, the chief
objection. II the hay could be thrown
down into Z narrow room separated
from the cow stable by partition, there
can be no good objection to this arrange
ment.
When the building Is narrow, or when
1t is not considered advisable to drive
into the cowroom for manure, the mod
ern track and carrier are convenient and
serviceable; use one that is easily and
quickly raised and lowered for filling.
1t should also be high enough from the
ground when run out of doors to dump
into wagon and thereby save ono
handling Of the manure. It should be
said that many dairymen prefer this ar
rangement because considera able dirt is
unavo1dably brought into the stable
when the manure 10 collected with a
team. In my personal experience this
objection Is more'than Offset by the con-
venience Of the method. Convenience in
feeding makes It essential that the
granary, silo and root storage should
be at the most readily accessible point,
and stock can be cared for more quick
ly and more cheaply If all the working
parts Of the building are in the ground
floor. Such construction might en-
tail more barn roof, but the ex-
ira expense Of this would be fully Offset
by the lessened labor In caring for tho
stock.

Coffee gave me terrible spells Of IN.
digestion, which, coming on every
week or so, made my life wretched un-
ill some one told me that the coffee
drank was to blame. That seemed
nonsense, but I noticed these attacks
used to come on shortly after eating,
and were accompanied by such excru-
eating pains in the pit Of the stom-
ach that could only ind relief by
loosening my clothing and lying down.

the coffee until finally thought a
trial would 1t least do no harm, so I
quit coffee in 1901 and began on Pos
tum. My troubles left entirely and
convinced me of the cause.
Postum brought no discomfort, nor
did indigestion follow its use. I have
had no return Of the trouble since I

applying it. I believe my way of han.
ding manure is about right.
