Grading Up the Herd

My practice is to grade up our herd
by using the best pure bred sires o,
the same breed that we can secure
TIE heifer calves are all raised by
hand on skim milk alfalfa hay and
grain. This is the practice now in
use by many OF our dairy farmers. In
some communities. the farmers sell
their cows when well alcsg in larSa.
tion and replenish from the surround.
ing farms. However such farmers
are not dairymen, but only cow-keep
ers. and DO very little to stimulate the
business. BY my method and the use
of scales and Babcock tester. auy
farmer can in few years have prac
tically a high-working. pure-bred herd
of dairy cattle. BY that time they
will have buildings and will have
learned how to handle such animals
Pure-bred dairy stock requires good
handling.
l wish | might show you the i'm.
provements that have been affected
at this institution in some of our stock
by the use of pure-bred sires. Breed.
ing is one-half of the question and
care is the other. The two must 90
hand in hand. We hear a great deal
about pure-bred dairy cattle, but too
little about pure-bred dairy men.

and must re-echo to the last syllable
of recorded time, why should the
spirit of little men be proud? The hu.
man race has done great things. But
the race did them, not the individual.
Our share in any of the great achieve
ments of the world is small. The part
of the greatest man is small in them.
The part of any generation Is small.
We are not SO great after all, that any
one of us should feel undue conceit
in anything accomplished by the race.
still less of our part in it. Man in his
higher stages of development. the
highly organized human being, civil
lied man, lived at least 5000 years
on the earth before he discovered the
fact that load will move more eat
lily If the vehicle which carries it is
placed on a steel rail and set above
the mud than if sunken in the soil.
The Baltic as she plows her great
bulk through the seas is certainly
wonderful thing. But it required
great many generations to get to il.
The use of the electric current is
amazing, bat 1t is the result OF thou
sands of years of human thought and
effort. Tennyson is right-"We men
are but a little race"

Then think of the time in which
Lincoln filled this place of so great

usually call 'profane history" The

Effects Of Feeding Bone Meal.


Under the systems OF feeding COWS

often a weakness of bone deyelop.
ment, which may be otviated by the
feeding of bone meal This Is espe
cially true in the case of young and
growing animals. At some of our ex.
pertinent stations. bone meal has been
fed quite extensively, and the results
on the bones of the animals have been
very good. This has been demon.
started by breaking the bones of the
animals after slaughter. The bones
of the same size broke much more
easily when the animals had been
grown chiefly on corn than where
they had been fed an additional ration
OF bone meal. A strong bone is o,
great value with the dairy cows. Many
OF the severe accidents that are re.
ported relate to the breaking of bones
In many cases the bones of our COWS
are broken from fall or a blow toe
slight to cause such accidents, II the
bones were of good material. When a
COW has broken bone 1t is some.
times necessary to kill her. and as the
first class dairy COW is worth little
for beef. the loss falls very heavily on
the dairyman. A little bone meal now
and then will cost little. but it will
furnish some of the elements that &c

"One day vas talking to the

not in luxury. The idea grew in my

and over with the result that the
next morning went down and offered
the old man his price. A week later

stopped and gazed moodily into the
distance.

Spring Planting.

follows. They should never be plant
ed when the ground is too wet, as
this will cause 1t to bake and harden
around the roots. II the farmer is

has only to keep 1t in cellar storage
for few days and 1t will come out
Just as fine for planting as II freshly

Peach. cherry. pear and apple trees
will often bud in transit. and II while
in that condition are Immediately
planted, they will hardly ever fail to
grow. When planting trees 1t has
been my habit to tramp the dirt
around the roots. but some prefer Civ
ing them water and settling the dirt
in that way. Both methods are prac-
tical.
Last spring we planted quite plat
of Cumberland raspberries early in
March. The ground would freeze
every night and we could only plant
during the afternoons. To our surprise
we had twice the growth this last sea-
son we have ever had before. To be
able to do this one must have plants
from his own growing. as 1t would be
too early to ship them safely. Straw
berries could not be planted so early,
as the ground would heave from freez-
ing and destroy the plants.
My observation has been that the
early-set plants make the best growth
early, and that shallow cultivation
should follow setting. no matter at
what time the setting Is done. One
should never plant when he has to
mud in" the plants. 1t is better to
heel in the plants and walt few

the base of the scale. When he
reaches there he will be difficult to

kind appears. the hens legs should

Using Inverted Sod.

There are many kinds of plants like
melons that cannot be transplanted
to the open field under ordinary meth
DDS. 1t was found out long ago, how
ever. that plants that could not be
transplanted could be grown on in
verted sod and the sod itself taken
to the open field when the plant OBJ
tained a good growth. Sod for this
purpose should be cut in the very
early spring. as soon as the frost is
melted below the sod line. This will
be several weeks before 1t would be
possible to sow seeds in the open
ground. This sod can be taken into
the greenhouse. the cellar or the
dwelling house and receive the seed
