DAIRY POINTERS

Tests at the Oregon experiment sta
is of much benefit. Stall fed animals
were able to eat without injury fifty to
seventy-fve pounds Of this steamed
silage per day.
Keep EnsiIage From Freezing.
In very cold weather a good plan is
to cover the ensilage with blanket
made of old bags to retain the heat
from one feeding to another and pre-
vent freezing IF ensilage becomes fro
zen it should be thawed out with hot
water or taken up into the farm stable.
Where only a little is frozen around
the edges it will thaw out by moving
it to the middle of the silo.-L. W.
Lightly.
Regularity Important.
Have fixed time to begin feeding
and milking both morning and evening.
This is important When a cow ex-
poets her feed and doesn't get it. she is
restless and worried, and anything
which tends to annoy a COW lessons her
milk production. Regularity is mex
pensive. Use lots of it.
Use the Comb and Brush
The use Of the comb and brush on
closely confined COWS during the winter
is of double value 1t not only keeps
them clean and improves their appear
ance, but adds a great deal to their
comfort. Comfort has high place in
milk production.
Milk Thoroughly
The first Of cows milk drawn
tests from l to 2 per cent, the last
from 6 to s per cent See that the
milking is done thoroughly. Dishonest
milking not only results in a loss of
butter fat, but tends to dry the cow
up. Milking should be made no Sec
ondary job.
The Care of the Calf.
beginning with her career as a dairy
calf, the sucking should be allowed to
take the first milk of her mother (colos-
trum) because it contains six times as;
much protein and twice as much ash az,
normal milk, says KimbalPs Dairy
Farmer. This furnishes material for
muscle and bone, which she needs most
at that time She should be givea
whole milk for about two weeks anG
then fed as much roughage as possible
to develop capacity She should be
bred SO as to calve from two to two
and half years of age, SO as to avoid
the tendency Of laying on flesh.

DAIRY FARM WISDOM

Cows that have aborted should be
washed out with a / per cent solution
Of creolin or lysol, continuing this
daily until all discharge has stopped.
Pregnant COWS should be given sodium
hyposulphite once daily in tablespoon
full doses as q drench
Setting the Milk.
When milk is set in shallow vessels
earthenware is preferable to tin. If
cream is raised in cans set in cold
water, be sure the cans are not rusted.
The sooner milk is set after being
drawn the better Cream rises fastest
while animal heat is leaving it. When
the milk is disturbed a number of
times before setting all the cream does
not rise, so milk should be set as soon
as possible after milking, cooled quick
ly and not disturbed till skinned.
Keep Cows In Good Flesh.
Dairy cows in good flesh will give a
more even flow of milk than thinner
ones under the same conditions. The
reason is that a cow having a good
store of fat draws on the reserve when
needed, while the thin cow shrinks in
milk flow when off feed or during Sc
we're weather.
Working the Butter.
Working the butter after the salt is
properly incorporated is injurious and
causes a waste Of salt
Success I'm the Dairy.
Hood
foundation stones of success. No dairy
man can afford to forget this. Lots of
folks have never forgotten it, They
never knew it to forget.
Best Time For Co>iss 20 Freshen.
Cows that freshen in the spring pro-
duce more than half of their milk when
prices are low, whereas those that
come fresh in the fail produce the bulk
of their yield when prices are high.
Here's a simple statement of fact
known to all dairymen. But how many
dairymen practice all they know?
Washing the Churn.
Most folks think that they know how
to wash a churn, but a great many Of
these very people use a cloth when
Wiping the inside, says Farm Journal
They might feel bad if they were to be
told that this was not right, and yet
when they stop to think about it can
they not see that some bits of the cloth
surely will stick to the wood? Rinse
but never use cloth. No matter how
clean you washed the churn when you
last used it, scald it out we'll before
putting cream into it next time Salt
thoroughly rubbed all round on the in
side Of the churn after it has been
rinsed with hot water is a first rate
way to make it clean and sweet. Rinse
the salt out with water.

DRYING OFF THE COWS.
Care and Close Attention Needed
With Persistent Mixers

On farms where winter dairying is
not practiced the cows will be going
dry for few weeks, says American
Cultivator. The length of time is large
~ governed by breed, habit and feed
With good dairy breeds there will be
some cows that are persistent mixers
and which it is often found difficult to
dry off.
AS it is better to have them go dry
a few weeks if possible, with such an
imals considerable care and attention
will be necessary to diminish the flow
OF milk and stop it's secretion alto
gether.
The grain feed should be reduced OF
taken away entirely and the less milk
producing kinds Of fodder given dur
ing drying off process. Milking less and
less often should be followed until it
will be safe to omit it altogether.
But after this attention should be
given to the udder, and if it gets too
full it should be drawn off occasional
ly until secretion ceases. In this way
trouble with the udder or teats may be
avoided. Most COWS can be dried Off
without much difficulty.
After good cow becomes dry and
will only remain so few weeks she
should be well cared for No stinting
in feed should then be allowed. There
should be plenty Of good hay and a
moderate amount of light grain feed
to assist in putting her in condition for
a profitable production of good milk
when the season arrives.
1t is better to have COWS go dry for
six to eight weeks, as this will afford
time for some recuperation, and such
cows will do better thereafter than
those that are dry only three or four
weeks.
There are some COWS that persist in
going dry three or four months, but
such can hardly be profitable to keep
in our New England diaries. Cows
should be in good condition, not fat, at
the commencement of the milking sea-
son, and anything short of this will be
Of loss to the owner.

MILK FROM SILAGE.
Quality of Dairy Products Not En-
dangered by This Feed.

%udAANy III IEOOUCtS MOI A|AA-
dangered by This Feed.
Considerable prejudice has existed
among some dairymen against silage.
due to the mistaken idea that it taints
the milk and butter, writes CORE
spondent of Farm PROCESS. 1t has been
proved conclusively both by official and
private experiments that such is not
the case.
Some years ago out of a hundred ra
tons compiled by the Wisconsin sta
ton sixty three of them contained en-
silage. When the silage was first used
some of it was spoiled in the handling.
This spoiled silage fed to some Of the
cows tainted the milk. This occurred
in 1895, but so widely was the report
circulated that the quality of milk was
endangered by the use of silage that
even today there are dairymen who are
still under this delusion.
The big diaries all over the country
now use ensilage, and a good many
feed it all the year round, because in
this way more stock can be kept on
the same area of ground The best
milk and butter now on the market are
from cows that have been fed on
silage. There is no question that the
time will come when silage will be
considered an absolute necessity on
many farms.
valuable feed will have to be grown
in a cheaper way. The chief value Of
the silo is that it is possible always to
store large quantities of green food as
ensilage, while there are many failures
to dry the fodder properly in the field.
There is nothing unusual or remark
able about silage as food, as some seem
to think
It differs from the original fresh
fodder chiefly in containing a certain
quantity of acid, which in the case Of
corn has come from the fermentation
of sugar in the original fodder
The New York station carried on ex-
periments for many years with corn
ensilage, and the authorities give as
their general results that there was an
increase in milk flow accompanying
the use of corn silage in the ration and
at the same time an increase in the fat
produced.
At the relative price for foods milk
was generally produced at lower cost
and the cost of fat production was
lowered more when corn silage consti-
tuted part Of the ration than when
many other rations were fed
One hundred pounds of ensilage con-
tain 1913 pounds of dry matter, 1.45
pounds of digestible protein, 11.78
pounds of digestible carbohydrates and
80 pound of fat and has a full value
of 26.210 Galleries.
Instead of being injurious to dairy
cattle, there is strong evidence of the
fact that of all live stock these cattle
profit most from a ration of ensilage,
no matter whether it is corn or some
other product The rapid increase in
the popularity of the silo in the states
especially noted for the dairy industry
is still further evidence.

Use Pure Bred Bulls.

1t is stated with a good show Of
verify that there is only one registered
bull to forty farms in this country, says
Hoard's Dairyman. This will show the
extent the farmers take in the improve
ment of their cattle Thirty-nine out of
forty depend upon the grade bull with
all his downward tendencies in breed
ing for their calves. 1t is high time the
dairy farmers in particular wake up
to the Importance of producing better
cows. If they do this they must have
recourse to pure bred males.

Dutch BeJteI Cattle.

These cattle are distinctly dairy
breed and evidently of the same origin
as the Holstein-F 'riesians. The prevail

white The distribution of color differs,
however. and one branch of this gener-
al stock has been so peculiarly marked
for century or two-some claim three
as to fix it's name and secure recogni-
ton as breed. What are known in
Holland as Lakenfeld cattle are called
Dutch Belted in this country.
