At the recent meeting Of the Grand
Traverse (MichD Dairy association
Colon c. Lille gave talk that was re-
plete with sound dairy wisdom, says
Hoard's Dairyman.
He illustrated the importance OF lib
eral feeding by giving the experience
Of Professor Clinton D. Smith at the
Michigan college. Professor Smith
picked up twenty-nine cows from vari-
ous parts OF the state at a cost OF $39
Z head. They wepe given good care
and liberal dairy ration for one year.
They were sold BY their owners b.
cause they did not pay. yet in one year
under his system Of feed and care.
Professor Smith made tljkm average
0O4 pounds Of butter per head and
cleared a little over % per cent on the
investment.
It 10 extremely hard to convince the
average farmer of the value of liberal
feeding. Every dollar he spends In
feed on a cow looks as b. as $40 spent
On a horse. The average farmer of
this country falls down" badly in
three things-Q) In his judgment OF q
COW and how to produce her; 2) how
to feed a COW 80 she will produce q
profit; o. the way to stable and care
for a cow. On all these great essen
tial points his ideas and his practice
are squarely opposed to good success
and good profit with cows.

CAUSES OF MILK FEVER.
Trouble Is Frequently Due to Vanity
Of the Farmer.

Trouble Is Frequently Due to Vanity
of the Farmer.
A correspondent Of Wallace's Farm
er writes as follows to that journal
concerning milk fever and it's causes:
noticed your article in recent Is
sue in regard to an instrument for
using simply sterilized air; also II. w.
Knowles article on the same subject
and how grateful he seemed to feel
when his veterinarian raised his cow
from an unconscious state and put her
on her feet again as well as ever.
He speaks OF the large amount OF
milk "Molly" gave at 6 o'clock Of the
evening Of the same day she calved;
also of finding her near deaths door
the next morning. Now this Is fair
sample Of the history of all or most all
milk fever cases-cOws that the own
ers can brag about for giving such an
abundant dow, especially at the first
milking. That is, l think, just where
the trouble begins.
Let me give you my experience In
one case, which Will be sufficient.
was called late one evening to attend
q cow that was down, unable to raise
her head l gave her the air treatment,
and the next morning word came over
the phone that she looked as II moth
ing had ever been wrong. The next
evening I received word that she was
down again, the same as before. She
was treated again, and she got up as
before, but the following day we had
the same experience, and at each visit
the owner was talking about the large
dow of milk he was getting. 1t now
came to me that his taking such
large amount Of milk at one time was
where the trouble lay. SO he was or
dered not to milk her out clean again
for some days, but simply do as nature
suggested, and that was, to take a
small amount from each teat, and that
frequently, according to the fow, say
four to six or eight times day. There
was NO more trouble in the above case,
and I have given the above orders to
owners many times since and never
have I been called to see like case or
known Of fine cow having milk fever
when the above directions were fol
lowed.
I would also suggest that the owner
Of a heavy milker shrink his COW be-
fore she calves, take away the rict
feed for few days and put her in 6
dry lot. 1t will tend to prevent hel
udder from becoming SO distended and
perhaps inflamed. Begin taking small
quantities from each teat as soon as
the udder becomes well filled, no mat
ter If it is several days before sht
calves; It will do no harm either to thu
mother or offspring.

There should be more stringent
laws to govern the running ofaut-
omObiles. It is well known that
the steering apparatus responds
quickly, and there may be no dan
ger in allowing children to oper-
ate the car when the road is clear
and the machinery right, but let
an emergency arise and the
chances are that the thing is done
that invites disaster. Even a.
dults are liable to lose their wits
IN prospect Of a catastrophy.
City councils should prohibit
children from running automo.
bileS and adult operators should
be licensed after examination.

The Feeding of
Young Lambs

Too much stress cannot be put upon
cleanliness in starting lambs upon
feed, writes a Michigan farmer in
American Agriculturist. A great many
make a mistake thinking the lambs
will do just as well eating from dirty
troughs as clean ones. The bottom Of
the roughs should be made tight and
smooth, so there will be no chance for
particles to accumulate and decay and
will be easy to clean out.
AS grain to start the lambs up on
have never found anything that an
swers the purpose 80 well as oats and
barley. The lambs seem to relish this
combination grain ration and can be
got on to heavier ration much soooes
than II started upon corn. l always
calculate to feed oats and barley fof
three weeks before feeding any corn
and in this way have -, trouble IN
getting the lambs to take right to corn
as soon as supplied. II corn Is fed
from the start the lambs overeat and
turn against the mixed grain.
Regularity in feeding is important In
starting lambs on to feed. l always
feed my lambs rs near the same hour
each day as possible. Lambs are ami
mails Of habit and know fully as wei
as the owner when they should be fed
If they are not fed regularly they will
not do near so we'll nor make as grea
q gain for the amount Of food consum
ed. When beginning. make the hou
convenient and then see to 1t that
system OF regular hours are kept.

after parts are together. The trough
has two or three iron washers between
end boards and supports, A A. and the
bolts are drawn just tight enough to
hold the trough inverted when desired
to keep out dirt, snow or Ice.
The top Of the trough Is 16 inches
above ground, and the lower edge Of
the board. G., should be 8 inches above
the top Of the trough. This Is es-
sential, as If too low it interferes with
the sheep eating and If too high the
sheep will try to Jump through over
the trough. This design prevents them
jumping over and thereby saves get
ting much dirt ON the trough, and the
fat trough prevents the more greedy
ones fapm eating too fast for the slow

Of the cupola rather than behind It.
On the other side G u represents how
a hay chute may be used also for
ventilating flue. In each of these
cases the ventilating flue would take
the place Of one cow. This method

Dairy Farm Wisdom.

Cows should have their place In the
stable and be tied In the same stanchion
each time. This will avoid much con-
fusion in tying them up, as each COW
will som learn her place and take 1t.
writes a correspondent .cf American
Cultivator. Again, It - much more
convenient to feed q lot Of cows II
they are IN the same place each time,
SO that the feeder knows. Just which
one he is feeding eveh II he cannot
see her. AS hardB eny two could re-
ouirp the sape amount: this will be
found a great copvpnheuce. Feed reg
ularly, water regularly, groom regu-
larry, tie up regularly, but, above ALL
milk regularly. A cow allowed to go

milking time beccres uneasy and rest

Post Office aaccciDts

The Minneapolis journal S
Washington correspondent gives
the following resume of the re
cent tabulation of postoffice re
ceipts in the northwest:
Assuming that the postal business
in the various communities is an ac
curate indication of business condi-
tions generally, the latest readjust-
ment of presidential postmasters' sal
aries, which by Law is based on the re-
ceipts for each year ending with March
81, the high tide of prosperity has
reached its crest, and there is even
perceptible ebb.
T An examination of the lists of offices
affected in the northwestern states,
shows that the salaries of the postmas-
ters 1T fewer Offices were changed this
year than for the past five or six. In
past years the salaries of as high as
sixty pOstmasters in Minnesota alone,
have been changed and about IS per
cent have been increased. The same
rule applied in Iowa, which this year
shows more decreases than increases.
The Dakotas about hold their own.
Taking the states separately in Min
nesOta, thirty-eight postmasters will
receive IN increase of 800 year in
their pay, beginning July l, and six
will have their cOmpens alton increased
800 each. Nineteen postmasters will
suffer loss of 800 each, and the COM
pensation of three others will be de-
creased 5000.
| In North Dakota there will be in
creases of 500 each at thirty-two Off
ces and of 5000 each at five offices.
The only decreases will be 800 each at
four offices. In South Dakota salaries
will be swelled 800 each at four
teen offices, 5000 each at two offices,
and $500 at one other, Pierre. AS in
North Dakota the only decreases are
four of 800 each.
Milbank is one of the South Dakota
offices that show an increase of 800.
In Wisconsin fifty-three postmasters
will get an increase of 800 a year
five of $780, and one Grand Rapids
S400. The cuts of 500 number seven
and one of 5000.
Iowa, however, outdid herself in tht
backward slide. In that state of many
presidential offices only twenty y-nin'
postmasters will get increases of SlO'
each, and four of 5000 each. On th
reverse side the count shows that fifty
five postmasters will suffer cut II
salary of 800, and two of 5000.
