FEEDING SUGGESTIONS

Some farmers condemn gluten meal,
cottonseed meal and dried brewers
grains outright, while others have
fed them for long intervals with great
success, says II. J. Wheeler Of the
Rhode Island experiment station. The
latter fact indicates that probably those
who have had bad results fed care
lessly, that the particular lot Of grain
was bad, or else the cows to which the
material was fed were In some respects
abnormal. In some instances it has
been reported that gluten meal, while
giving good results combined with GER
tain foods, does not work well with
some cows If fed together with corn
meal.
Feeding COttOnseed Meal.
Some good feeders employ three
pounds or more Of cottonseed meal
daily, though it is generally held that
two pounds should be the maximum
daily allowance per COW. Gluten meal
may usually be fed more freely than
cottonseed meal.
Feeding Cows.
designed to serve two purposes, says
American Cultivator. The first, and
the one that always does and always
must take precedeAce. is the keeping
up Of the machinery Of life. The AMI
NAL heat must be maintained, and the
constant wear and waste Of the bones
and tissues Of the body must be re-
placed, All this must be done whether
any milk is produced or not. II suit
able material then remains, 1t Will be
utilized for the second purpose OF the
food, which is the production OF milk.
The man who gives his cows but little
food can obtain but little milk from
them, simply because they have very
little material from which to make 1t.
This rule applies just as fully to the
best COW in the country as 1t does to
the poorest one.
When to Feed Literally.
The time to feed dairy cows more lib
orally is before they show the need OF
It.
| Good Feed, Good Returns.
It never pays to stint the cows In
the matter of feed or to reply too much
on cheap rations. The more and bet
ter the feed the greater the returns
will be. The cows should be fed. salt
Cd and watered at regular intervals
and thus made to form regular habits

CREAM RAISING.

Method For Small D.,.,..

Method For Small Dairies.
Siaiiow pans are the order Of the

where there are less than six cows
Kept for butter and cream, says p. Nc.
Connell in the Dairy. The milk must
De set warm after straining through
TWO Weaknesses Of muslin to extract
all dregs or dirt and in pans holding
from one to four gallons. The milk
cools naturally, and the cream rises
Dy gravitation into thick layer, much
depending on the temperature Of the
dairy. Many people skim twice In the
twenty-four hours, but 1t is best in
cold weather to let the milk stand and
skim only once. The greater part of the
cream rises In the first twelve hours.
and If the milk Is disturbed the rest
OF the fat may never rise at all.
Cream obtained in the "open air"
method is of the finest flavor, REQUIRES
shorter time to ripen and makes
better favored butter than machine
SKINNED material. Flat pans, of
course, require lot Of room, but not
SO much for a limited number of cows.
while jacketed pans of the Jersey"
type are the best for use in this way.
Ii the milk is set warm, even heated
up to 100 degrees, and then trickle
OF cold water passed through the
jacket, the whole Of the cream will be
quickly thrown up and Of the finest
quality.
1t seems that, starting with warm
milk and in falling temperature, the
fat. which does not cool SO quickly as
the serum, rises all the more quickly.
For small dairy pans of this de-
scription are certainly better than a
separator. In a former note the writer
stated his belief that a separator was
suitable for dairy Of over ten cows,
but that for less than six the pan
system was much more handy and
convenient.

To Cure . Sucking Helfer.
As all dairymen know, there 10 no
greater nuisance on q dairy farm than
q cow or heifer addicted to the habit
of sucking herself and other animals
In the head, says w. Stenson in A mer-
lean Cultivator. 1t is not only the loss
Of the milk that IL sustained, but 1t
would seem that one such animal
would induce others to contract the
habit, We have had our share Of this
trouble with heifers.
Insert in the sucking heifer's nose
an ordinary bull ring. Just before In
serting the ring slip on 1t two common
iron harness rings-of course the har-
ness rings are to suspend loosely after
the bull ring has been inserted. This
Is the trick Of It. BY adding more than
one loose ring the animal can in no
way prevent them from dropping In
the mouth when 1t attempts to suck.
Brass bull rings can be purchased at
almost any hardware store for 20 cents
each, and the common harness rings
cost but few cents per dozen.

Measuring the Ration.

1t is not necessary that farmers
should weigh the daily ration for each
cow, even in scientific feeding. The
grain rations can be weighed at the
outset, the quantities Of each meas
ured, and the ration subsequently fed
by measure. By making mixture Of
the grain ration, In quantity, and then
measuring out the total amount de-
manded per feed, there will be little
danger of accident owing to careless
