Feed and Butter Fat.
Much dispute has arisen in regard to
the effect of feed upon the per cent of
butter fat 1t is very easy to attribute
any variation that may happen to oc-
cur at the time of changing feed to the
feed. Records of tests show that it is
possible for large variation to take
place without any change of feed.
Where accurate records have been kept
it has been found that there is very lit
tie If any change in the per cent Of
butter fat due to feed. \ few expert
ments at other stations indicate that
feed may influence in a small degree
the per cent Of fat I'm the milk, but this
influence is so small that it is hardly
worth while for the average farmer or
dairyman to pay any attention to it.
The test Of the richness of the milk
seems to be the individual characters
tie of the cow, that cannot be changed
permanently by the will of man, and IL
we wish to increase the per cent of fat
in the milk we must do it by breeding
rather than by feeding.-Kansas EX-
pertinent Station.
SiInEe Versus Grain.
The Ohio experiment station finds 1t
quite evident from data of its own
tests that cows fed silage ration have
produced considerably more milk and
fat at a smaller expenditure for feed,
resulting in more than double the profit
than those fed n grain ration. The
question arises, however, how much
of this increase in production is due Ia
the ration fed and how much to the
COW? 1t is probable, says Farm Su-
perintendent G. G. Williams. that the
comparison of actual yields of milk
and butter fat is not SO reliable a guide
to the utility OF the two rations as the
comparison of each cow with herself
before and after" taking the ration
| Taking the average OF the herds. the
cows fed the sllage ration shrank 2.S4
per cent in milk and gained $50 per
cent in fat, while the cows fed the
grain ration shrank OH per cent IN
milk and IA Is per cent in fat.
Extra Sine n Handicap
1t is the general opinion that cows OF
medium size for the breed 10 which
they belong are the most profitable
milk producers, and the records Of the
Wisconsin experiment station indicate
that cows somewhat below medium
weight have an advantage over those
above that medium. In other words,
extra size is more or less of handi-
| cap.

THE VETERINARY

A large percentage of lameness in the
horse is due to an unbalanced foot"
and the first step in treatment should
always be the pairing of the hoof or the
formation Of the shoe in such man
ner that the foot of the horse while
he is standing at ease will be perfect
~ level in it's relation to the floor sur
face upon which he is standing.
For Weak or SiclxIy Calves.
For weak or sickly calves the fol-
lowing experiment may be of value to
the reader: In the spring of 1899 the
Kansas experiment station had calf
that did very poorly. In seventy-nine
days it gained only four pounds. After
trying several other remedies dried
blood was used with success. The calf
began to gain and by the time it was a
year old weighed 57S pounds.
Safe Way to Give Medicine.
My way when giving liquid medi-
nal, is to take a piece Of rubber hose
about fifteen inches long, tie it on the
neck of bottle and put the end of the
hose down the animals throat There
is then no danger of getting glass in
the mouth
Vermin on Hogs.
Hogs often suffer very much from
vermin, and the losses in feeding are
often severe, especially among young
pigs, when death is sometimes a Sec
Ondary if not an immediate result
Vermin are most common around the
ears, inside the legs and in the folds
of the skin on the jowl, sides and
tanks. In light and isolated cases they
may be destroyed by washing the
hogs. In severe cases, however, espe-
cially where the whole herd is affected,
thorough spraying or dipping should
be resorted to.
Catarrh of Sheep.
Sheep discharge at the nose and eyes,
and some have swelling in the throat,

BEEF PRODUCTION.
Ways Practiced by the Canny Scot ON
High Priced Land.


In addition to the Scotch stockmen
who purchase their feeders there is
considerable number who grow all the
animals they feed, and this work is
successfully done in some instances
where land rents for $12.50 per acre.
Some of these farmers purchase calves
when few days old and raise them on
nurse COWS, and this is successful if
good calves are secured. In some in
stances feeders furnish high class beef
sireS to the owners of cows, so that the
calves will be of the desired feeding
type. These men aim to have their cat
tie ready for market before they are
two years old. The calves are taught
to eat at an early age and are very lib
orally fed until ready for the market.
Another successful method is when
heiferS about twenty months old are
purchased in the fall In the Galloway
district or in Ireland and maintained
as economically as possible until
March. when they are bred to high
class beef sire. Black bulls are gener
lily used on heifers Of mixed color and
Shorthorn bulls on black heifers, SO
that the calves will be uniform in ap-
pearance. The heifers are graZed dur
ing the summer and do not receive any
special care or additional feed until the
latter part of October or the LIST of No
vember. From this time on they are
fed on hay, roots and very often a
small allowance of grain and cake. so
as to be in good condition at calving
time. After calving they are literally
fed. When the grass season opens they
are put on pasture and fed from five to
ten pounds of grain and cake per day
in addition. The calves are weaned
about the 1st of September and three
months additional feeding makes the
dams ready for the butcher.
The advantages claimed for this
method are that the heifers are grow
ing all the time and increasing in val
ne: that they will rear good calves and
still sell in the open market not as
cows, but as fat heifers. AS a rule,
they are purchased for about $40 each
and sell for $50 to $9O-William John

Women Sacrificing the Birds.

Let the world bid its sad farewell
to its feathered folk If millinery
modes continue their slaughter. Ger
tain species of the rarest and most
beautiful birds are threatened with
determination at no distant date. In
one market alone lately were sold at
one time 10000 humming birds, $4,000
parakeety, $4,000 kingfishers, 10000
aigrettes and thousands of other gor-
geous southern birds of different
kinds, as well as doves and even spar
rows. France receives every year from
America, Tonkin and India millions
of birds which are exchanged for mil
lions of dollars. The number of small
birds annually imported into England
and France may be computed at 1,500.-
900. Germany exports nearly 20.0O0.-
900 feathers which are worked up in
England into hat trimmings. In Lon
don there are held every month sales
of birds skins and feathers. India
alone supplying some 30.000.0o0 feath-
ers. The South American republics
are awakened to the danger of the ex-
termination of their most ornamental
birds and have passed laws regulating
their slaughter. In America has been
formed a league whose members for
swear the wearing of feathers.
