We cannot be too careful about the
water supply Of our stock, says Farm
and Live Stock Journal. Too often it
is allowed to stand and stagnate in
tank, trough or pail in summer, while
. in wintereit is supplied ice cold or is
frozen over most of the time, so that
some of the stock may not gain ac-
cess to it during the entire day. Some
Of the animals may obtain all they
want, while others are kept away from
the tank by those which are bosses"
Dehorning the cattle will prevent this
latter trouble to a great extent.
The cow requires a liberal supply OF
water. She can subsist on one drink
a day, but two or more are highly de-
sirable. Supplying cows individually
in the stable by means Of pals or
troughs establishes conditions which
are apt to breed filth and stale water.
A clear spring or creek is an ideal wa
tering place in summer, but in winter
it may be frozen or require a long jour-

with such conditions the cow will often
remain thirsty rather than brave the
trip to the drinking place.
Experiments have shown that an Or
binary COW will drink from fifty to 100
pounds Of water per day, or about four
pounds Of water toqeach pound Of dry
feed consumed. Ithasl been: found that
when grain ration was replaced by
roots the water consumption fell of
materially; when fed on dry feed the
amount drunk was about double what
it was when fed on green pasture. The
New York experiment station concludes
that each cow should have access to
eight gallons of water daily. The same
station found that when cows were dry
they drank but 65 per cent Of the
amount these same cows drank during
lactation.
In a trial in Germany it was found
that when cows which had been given
water twice daily were changed to
stalls having a. constant supply the
milk yield increased about one pound
daily with no decrease of fat content

A wonderful powder OF rare

The Chinese value a pair Of boots
which have been worn by an upright
magistrate, and the custom of wishing
a friend happy foot is still OBJ
served all through Europe. The putting
of the. left shoe on the right foot, put
ting it on uneven or crosswise, burst
ing the latch or tie, lacing it wrong or
losing a button, are all bad signs. A
Yorkshire man will spit in his right
shoe before putting it on when going
out on important business to bring
luck, and many an English girl has
been known to hang her boots out of
the window on St. Valentines night
for love luck.

Crimes Against Animals.

''The cooks of today" wrote Yuan
Mel, a Chinese author of the nineteenth
century, ''think nothing Of mixing in
one soup the, meat of chicken, duck, pig
and goose. But these chickens, ducks,
pigs and geese have doubtless souls
and these souls will most certainly file
plants in the next world of the way
they have been treated in this. A good
cook will use plenty Of different dish
es. Each article Of food will be made
to exhibit it's own characteristics, while
each made dish will be characterized
by one dominant flavor. Then the pal
ate of the gormand will respond with
out freak and the flowers of the soul

The First Aston and the Poet.

John Jacob Astor and his son rigidly
attended to business in the same office,
a little one story building in Prince
street, just east of Broadway. Their
constant companion there was Fitz-
Greene Halleck-Marco Bozzaris Hal
leck. Halleck became clerk for Aston
in 1882 and worked seventeen years
The employment, he himself said, was
not profitable, but permanent" Astor
warned him when he began not to talk
to any one of his wealth. The two men
became great friends. Halleck spent
months with his patron at his country
seat and became one of the trustees Of
the Astor library. The poet frequently
rallied the old man on his wealth.
''Why, Mr.. Aston" he would say, ''if
had 5000 year and was sure of it 1
would be content The great land
owner took him at his word, and in his
will, much to the amusement Of bohe-

Milk and Butter Hints

The thick, stringy condition some
times noticed in cream Is usually due
to the presence of what are known as
Shiny or ropy bacteria, says Hoard's
Dairyman. They produce ropiness In
milk that may be all the way from a
slight viscosity to milk that is so thick
it will not pour out Of dipper. When
such conditions occur there is but one
way Of stopping the trouble, and that
is by a liberal use of hot water and
washing soda. The water must be
scalding, and all utensils that are used
in handling the milk must be thorough
" cleaned with brush, hot water and
soda
Hand Separator Cream.
1t has been well said that, consider
ing the small volume Of gathered cream
compared with the whole milk system,
there seems little reason in every farm
err not having a perfect arrangement
for keeping it. But it must be acknowl-
edged that so far as we are able to
learn by far the greater part Of the
cream from hand separators Is still
kept in cellars with vegetables and all
kinds of things that have an odor that
is not an addition to the flavor of the
cream.-Farmers Advocate.
Adding Butter Color to Salt.
Butter color can. often be mixed with
the salt and made to color the butter
satisfactorily. The evenness in which
the color is added in this way depends
q great deal on the size Of the gran
ules when you add the salt First, mix
the color thoroughly with the salt, then
add this colored salt to the granular
butter In the usual way and by allow
ing it to stand between workings, the
butter may be evenly colored. Work
ing a number Of times, but little at
each time, is better than trying to do
all the working at once.-Hoard's Dali
ryman.
Salt For Butter.
"Any SALT isn't good enough for your
dairy butter. for salt has lot to do
with the quality and keeping properties
Of the butter made. Only the best quail
ity must be used What IL it does cost
tride more and a large quantity Is
used? A good return for good butter
will soon make up the extra outlay

ChurninG Temperature.
II the cream Is too warm to churn 1t
should be cooled and held at the churn-
ing temperature for at least an hour
before churning. Unless this is done,
II the weather be warm, the butter will
soften in the works, for butter globules
do not harden quickly at a temperature
above 40 degrees. Agricul-
turist
Washing the Butter.
Wash the butter with water at as
high temperature as possible and
have the butter remain hard. Too cold
water tends to chill the granules and
so the salt will not dissolve, causing
notified butter In the winter 1t is wise
to warm the salt before putting 1t in
the butter. Usually two washings are
sufficient. Always use enough water
to float the butter. Too much washing
will injure the flavor. In any event
the buttermilk must be washed out

CATTLE ABORTION.
Symptoms Of This Disease and Meth
cd OF Treatment

Symptoms OF This Disease and Meth
cd Of Treatment.
Contagious abortion among cattle is
now causing heavy losses in America,
having in late years been introduced
by imported stock. 1t can be over
come by proper treatment says cor
respondent of Farm Progress.
The spread of the disease in a herd
is generally due to contamination.
The symptoms may be first noticeable
at any time between the fourth month
of CESSATION and the full term.
Infected herds have been observed
where partial interference with the
nutrition Of the fetus occurred at about
the eighth month, but not to an extent
to cause death and expulsion.
In such cases the calves are carried
to full term or even two or three weeks
beyond the period and when dropped
are very runty, emaciated specimens.
But few such calves survive. In the
latter stage of the disease yellow dis
charge drops from the vulva, which
should leave no remaining doubt that
the trouble Is contagious abortion.
AS to precaution against the disease.
it is prudent not to introduce re-
Gently pregnated female into the herd
until her calf is dropped normally un-
less the herd from which the COW
comes Is known to be free from the
disease. Care should also be exercised
in the purchase Of bulls that have been
in service
If an abortion occurs the fetus
should be carried away and burned or
buried If occurring in barn, the
floors, walls and stall partitions should
be thoroughly disinfected with per
cent solution of carbolic acid or creo-
lin. This may be followed by coat
Of whitewash.
AS to treatment, wash with two gal
Ions or more Of nonirritant antiseptic
solution A 2 per cent solution of creo-
lin may be used. A somewhat weaker
solution may be made by adding two
ounces Of creolin to each gallon Of wa
ter. 1t should be lukewarm when in
jected. Repeat the washing In day
or two and thereafter once or twice u
week until the discharge disappears.

Atmosphere That IntOxicates.

Visitors to the great wine cellars Of
Spain, says the Journal of Inebriety,
sometimes suffer from symptoms Of
alcoholic intOxicatiOn. In some Of these
places, it is said, as much as half an
ounce of absolute alcohol is found in
five or six cubic feet of air. In London
and on the continent barkeepers who
work in badly ventilated" saloons are
practically drunkards without swallow
ing any liquor. Prussian and French
authorities force all establishments
where spirits are sold to thoroughly
ventilate the premises twice day.

The Dairy Herd.

A bulletin Of the Connecticut expert
ment station says: During the five
years covered by these records the va

Of the herd have been much the same
The increase in the net profits from
$1.23 loss in 1899 to $21.64 profit in
1908 must be attributed to the selection
Of animals better suited to dairy pur-
poses.

Tail of the Dairy Animal

The cow is a machine. To do good
work there must be capacity and abil-
ity to handle enough food to give prof
liable returns. Choose the cow that
has capacious body, a large stomach
and good heart girth. Bear these
points in mind in buying cows.
