The only sure way of culling out
your poor COWS is to weigh the milk
from each cow at least twice a week

ing it for butter fat once a month.
By so doing you can figure their yield
very closely. But if you weigh the
milk just once in a while you lose
half the value of your scales and milk
record. I will tell you why; Every
thing. as far as l learn, is governed
by cause and effect; if your COWS are
not doing as we'll as you would like
to have them, there is cause for it.
So do not call it poor luck and let it
go at that, but try and find out why.
When you keep a record of your
milk, any unnatural shrinkage will be
noticed at once, and you will try and
locate the cause. When you do it is
generally easy to remove it or to
apply a remedy While you have been

Keep Cow Stables Clean.

Of course, you clean the stalls
every day, but do you ever clean the
walls and ceilings and windows? We
have in mind stable on one of the
best dairy farms in the neighborhood.
The stable was cleaned daily, and
whenever necessary the dust, cObwebs,
and all accumulations of like nature.
Compare this with most stables You
see-where the walls behind the COWS
are spattered with filth from the gut
tiers; from the ceilings, which are
imperfectly fioOred mOws, hang num-
berless festoons of dust-laden cob
webs, and in the alley behind the
cattle is a motley array of sticks,
planks, shovels and milking stools.
The windows are covered with dirt
and dust so that they hardly serve
the purpose of windows at all.
1t pays to have the stables neat.
1t is easier to keep the milk clean
and free from offensive OdOrs, and If
you use some system in taking care
of your stable stools it will be great
saving of time and annoyance.
1t is a good idea to cover the cell
ing with roofing paper. If the space
over the COWS is used as a NOW, the
paper prevents most of the chaff and
dust falling through on the mixers,
and if the ceiling is the roof the pa
per makes the building warmer.
1t is a most excellent plan also to
whitewash the inside of the stables
occasionally. The expense for this
will be very slight and you will be
surprised to see how much brighter
and cleaner it will make them.
Have an abundance of light in the
COW barn, and keep the windows clean.
You need not polish them as you
would a show window, but keep them
clean so they will readily admit the
light.
All these suggestions are simple
and easily carried out, but they will
increase the comfort of your herd
very materially and will also increase
your pleasure in caring for the cows.

By All Means Get Separator.

If we were milking ten to twelve
COWS and hauling the milk four miles
to the creamery we would certainly
consider it profitable investment to
buy hand separator and separate the
milk at home. We suggest to our cor
respondent that he sit down some even
ing and do little calculating. On the
one side figure the cost of the separ-
ator, with interest and a reasonable
amount of depreciation. To be on the
safe side figure off Is per cent per
year for depreciation. On the other
side figure the cost of hauling the milk
four miles, which will have to be done
every day during the summer. To this
add the increased value of the skim
milk for feed, getting it fresh and
sweet from the COW. We think after
he does some figuring on this subject
that he will find it greatly to his adj
vantage to invest in a good separator

Dairy Butter VS.. Creamery.

In all butter scoring contests dairy
and creamery butter are entered sep
arately. 1t is a noticeable fact that
dairy butter never scores as high as
creamery butter. There is every rea-
son why it should score higher. The
buttermaker on the farm has every
thing under control. The private dairy
can be kept cleaner and the output
made under cleaner conditions than
is possible in a creamery, yet with all

just right. The creamery butter max
er uses a starter and gets flavor
that is uniform and just right. The
dairy farmer seldom uses starters and
thus falls short of making prize butter.
While dairy butter may be cleaner in
every respect than creamery butter,

ing of the difference in cleanliness) he

THE DAIRY
The siIo from Dairyman's Standpoint

The silo is without doubt the factor
that will to a greater extent reduce the
cost of milk and fat, than any other ap-
pliance or system known to the dairy
men of today. The best proof we have
that the silo is a winner is the fact
that not more than five men in thou
sand who build one and feed silage one
season, conclude they have made a
mistake and undertake to continue
their business without it's use.
Life is too short to demonstrate the
worth of each particular method that
may be adopted in our business, hence
it is wisdom on our part to conclude
that where the evidence is so over
whelmingly favorable as it is to the
silo it must be all right; and the
proper thing to do is to fall into line,
build a silo, strive to produce first
class silage, study the methods of sue
cessful dairymen and produce butter
fat at a cost that will leave a satisfac-
tory profit.
An abundance of good silage enables
the dairyman to offer his COWS a ration
throughout the winter months as palat-
able. as satisfying and from which
thew will produce more pounds OF but
terfat than they will from the average
pasture in the same number of days.
To many who know nothing of the
value of silage as food for the dairy
COW. this no doubt will sound like
wild statement But it is nevertheless
a fact and has been demonstrated
many times.
A few of the advantages OF the sllo
may be mentioned:
It provides the most economical
method of storing the corn crop or
that portion of it desired for cattle
food.
1t enables the dairymen to use
winter feed equal to summer pasture
and a summer supply will make II
possible for him to hold up the milk

work is done during the winter months

creasing the cash income from this
branch of our farm operations.
The carrying capacity of the farm
will be doubled. More stock, more
manure, more feed more stock-what
the limit would be if any OF us know.
OF this we are convinced: With the
general use of the silo the productive
ness of our farms would be so IN
creased that the question "HoW shall

Cuts Loose From Balloon Idea.


The queerest feature of Mr.. Bo-
mars flying apparatus is that he re
nounces absolutely the long-estab-
iished idea that a machine designed
TO navigate the air must have a gas
bag to sustain its weight. He de-
clares that this is the great weak
ness IN all the airships that have
been evolved from the brains of in
Ventors up to the present time, for
the higher up these machines are
carried the more does the gas be-
come chilled and the buoyant power
Is thereby minimized. Furthermore.
there is always more or less leakage
IN these gas bags, and they cannot

The fundamental principle Of the
Bomar "aeromobile" is one in which

fans. one attached to each end of the
machine. When these revolye they
will lift the machine from the

Eliminates Ar Resistance.
When the machine has reached the
desired height the operator viii low
er the speed of the fans sufficiently
10 keep him at once level He will
then set in motion his front and
rear fans, which will operate for
ward and backward on the same
principle that his mahcine has been
raised from the ground One fan will
be operated in one direction so as to
push, while the other will be exer-
cising a pulling force on the ma
chine. The forward fan will be
fixed on pivot so that It can be
turned in any direction, thus making
the aerOmobile perfectly dirigible.
By abandoning the gas bag idea, Mr..
BOmar eliminates the air resistance
against this large mass which has
always proven a great deterrent in
developing speed in airships. He there
fore hopes to obtain a record-break-
ing velocity with his invention. An
other device, which is calculated to
greatly increase the speed capacity
of the machine is that the four lift
ing fans will also be worked on
pivOts and after they have performed
their work Of raising the car, they
can be adjusted to act as propelIing
forces at the same time, being kept
at a sufficient angle to maintain the
equilibrium Of the car in the air.
The car is to be equipped with
mechanical devices which will safe
guard the operator in every respect.
For example, if the gasoiene engine
should suddenly fail 10 do its duty
the fans viii automatically lock
and they viii then act in the nature
OF a parachute, which will allow the
car to settle to the ground more or
less gradually.
Mr. Bomar has decided TO use four
fans, one at each corner OF the car.
IN order to guarantee its eouilib-
rum He has also arranged the
body Of the aeromobile in such a
way as 10 enable the operator to
move from one end OF the machine
to the other, so as to assist in main
tanning the balance, should any uu-
foreSeen accident occur.
