Dairy Wisdom In Brief

In Kansas a progressive dairyman
tested his herd of sixteen cows. He
found eight were making good profits
and the other eight were eating them
up.
The best way to improve the test is
TO better the COW.
Every heifer raised from an unprofit-
able COW will make one more unprofit-
able COW.
The dual purpose COW may do for the
average farmer, but the dairy farmer
wants a profitable COW.
Shivering on the warm side of
straw pile and suffocating in a dark.
poorly ventilated stable are two ex-
tremes. Avoid both this winter-Kim-
ball's Dairy Farmer.
Teach the children to be careful to
close the doors and gates. says the
Farm Journal. a prize hefer calf was
lost by the barn door being left open
and the calf gaining access to the chop
ped grain. the fact not being known
until too late to attempt saving it.
Calves grow into money about rs
fast as any kind of stock. You have
got to keep them moving. though.
When calf stops growing. it is pretty
apt to go back first thing you know.
Backward things are what swamp the
best of us.
The quarters for the cows should he
put i'm order. SO that when the frosty
nights and cold rains come the herd
may have proper shelter. Cows are
more sensitive and susceptible TO cold
than most other animals OH account
of the double drain upon them. BE
wise and do not lay the foundation for
disease and loss by needless exposure.
Any loss In this way In the fall Of the
year puts the animals In so much
worse condition for wintering. The loss
Is not oply immediate. but Is felt all
through the winter and causes an ex-
ira outlay to restore them to profita-
bic condition.

Best stock Is Cheapest.

All favor the practice of economy; it
is part of the business of life. True
economy comes in practice here. Sup
pose two cows are in the market, cost
ing $40 and $50 respectively, and the
question is which to buy we should
consider what each COW will do. If
the twenty dollar COW makes $50
worth of butter and the fifty dollar
cow makes $75 in a given time, why
isn't the latter by far the more eco
nomical? The cheap COW will consume
as much as the higher priced. In
this matter than elsewhere. The quail
ity of farm animal determines in a
measure the profit of the farm. 1t is
not necessary TO breed pure thorough
bred animals, but those which will
yield their product at a profit. Anoth-
er point: Is it economy to use a cheap
bred or scrub sire or the pure bred for
double the cost? | think the latter
cheaper in the end. Our stock inter
ests grow poorer every year. can
see decrease in the quality and value
of our farm animals. When stock is
high buyers take the best to send to
Brighton, and we do business with the
rest. We must retrograde, for It is
impossible to advance in quality under
such conditions. George Plummer.

STABLING DAIRY COWS.
Some Advantages OF the Covered
Yard system.

Some Advantages of the Covered
Yard system.
A new scheme for stabling dairy
cows has been suggested by Professor
Err of the dairy department of the
Kansas State Agricultural college. A
covered yard plan consists of building
a cheap structure and allowing the
cows to run loose In the stable. In
other words, II is merely a covered
yard, with some cheap roofing material,
closed In on all sides. On one end OF
this yard is a milking stable, into which
the cows are driven to be MIXED every
night and morning. They are fed their
grain rations while being MIXED. The
roughage is fed in the covered yard
proper.
Advantages of the Method.
The advantages of this method of
stabling are enumerated as follows:
First.-Cheapness; no stalls, no ex-
pensive building and no cement floors
are required, except those that are in
the milking stable.
Second-Ihls covered yard is Dedded
daily. 1t has the advantage of making
the GREATEST amount of the best ma
nure of any plan that may be devised.
The stable Is cleaned out at such time
as to allow the manure to be hauled di-
rectly from the stable to the field. Thus
nothing is lost In the way of fertility.
Third.-Cows are more comfortable
in such a stable than in stalls.
Fourth.-With plenty of bedding the
cows can be kept cleaner.
Flfth.-It saves labor to clean out
the stable every day.
Sixth.-All that 1t is necessary to
keep scrupulously clean is the milking
stable, which is but a small part of the
barn.

KEEPING A RECORD.

goes to work and develops it right. OF
course a buttermaker generally has his
hands full in keeping his creamery pre-
sentable, and he should receive liberal
assistance from all concerned, and
those concerned mostly in that work
are the farmers themselves.
While there are many ways in which
the farmer may give his assistance
want to point to one especially that the
farmer is even more interested in than
the buttermaker. This Is the improve
ment Of the dairy herd so as to get a
bigger yield from the number Of cows
already on hand The farmer is the
one who is benefited most and should
feel most interested. Now, l want to
call attention to one way in accomplish
ing this that is practical, and way
that every dairyman should use, and
that Is to keep such a record Of each
COW in the herd that will show at the
end of the year what each individual
cow has done. This at first thought
would seem like something that would
entail great deal of work, and l will
work. but l think 1t safe to say that
1t will be the best paying work that you
can do in connection with your dairy.
The things necessary are spring
scale, pencil and memoranda book, all
OF which need not cost over 50, and
the extra work necessary need not be
over thirty minutes a month outside the
time II takes to do the figuring, and
that will depend on how quick you are
to figure The thing to do with this APP
paratus is to place ii where you empty
the milk after milking. Taking the
milk from each COW, you first hang the
pail on the scale, and with the pencil
and book you have handy you make
record of what the COW has given.
You can repeat this for every milking
IL you wish, but for a beginning about
four times a month will give you good
results and show you where you have
the COW that Is stealing her board and
where you have the one that Is paying
for it,
In connection with this it is also nee
essary to have the milk from each COW
tested about three times or more a
year. With the number of pounds OF
milk and per cent Of fat in milk, you
have a basis to figure the value of
your COW. The value of such a record
is well expressed by Mr.. Sly when he
says, "If farmer has two cows and
loses so on one and gains so on the
other, it does not take much of mathe-
matician to see that he did not make
any money, but If he disposes Of the
cow that he lost so on he would be
SO ahead. besides saving extra time
and labor required to care for the ex-
ira cow"

Not All Cows Alike.

1t is true that very large per cent
Of our dairy cows are absolutely UNI
productive, never paying their own ex-
pense. Is it not far better to keep fif-
teen cows all of which are liberal pro-
ducers than to add to this number
another fifteen that are not self sup
porting? The second fifteen are kept
up by the profit of the first fifteen,
but how is the owner to be kept up?
This very difficulty with which we are
so heavily burdened must be removed
before dairy can be made profitable.
But how are we going to judge which
animals are profitable and which are
Improbable? BY the milk sheet
pair OF milk scales and the Babcock
test. At the end Of each month we
can tell exactly how much milk and
butter fat each COW In the herd has
produced and hence how much money
she has made. From this amount the
expense Of keeping her could be de-
Quoted and the remainder credited to
her account az profit for the month";

COW learns in which stall she is to be
MIXED and the order in which her turn
comes, so that the three mixers (thir-
ty-three cows are cared for In this
barn. have little difficulty In always
milking the same cows and in the same
order. When the mixers are ready the
gates at the rear of the stalls are open
ed, one COW enters each stall, and the
gates are closed. The cows eat their
grain while being MIXED and pass out
through gates at the front of the stalls
into the other side of the shed or main
room. AS the manger and gates divide
this room, the cows that have been
MIXED are forced to remain on one
side and cannot come to the milking
stalls a second time
All grain Is fed In the milking stalls
and the roughage from the large man

lent height for the cows. In this herd

When cows are to be stabbed contin-
uously through the year, without any
yard privileges whatever, we incline to
the opinion that there should be neither
stalls nor ties OF any kind, except few
stanchiOns or stalls In separate COM
partment, where few Of the cows can
be admitted at a time and kept In
place during milking and while eating
their grain. says Hoard's Dairyman.

with racks for hay and other coarse
fodder through the center. around the
sides. This necessitates the dehorning

obtainable in any form of stall or tie.
We reproduce in this connection a
floor plan for such an arrangement
adapted from circular No. %. dairy di-
vision of the Illinois Agricultural col
Iege, and copy from that circular as
follows:
A space in the barn 80 by 81 feet is
devoted to the cows. A manger run
ming lengthwise extends to within eight
feet of the wall at each end. These
spaces between the manger and the
wall are closed by gates. At milking
time all of the cows are driven to the
side of the manger where the figures
showing dimensions are placed, which
contains a watering tank, not shown in
the cut, and the gates are closed. The
door of the milking room, sixteen feet
in width, is then opened, and the boss
cows are always ready to enter. Near
the end of this room are three stalls. in
which the milking is done, and it is
surprising to note how quickly each

Germs In the Dairy.

The conditions most suited to the
growth of germs are food, warmth and
moisture. Milk furnishes the required
food for their growth. Bacteria are es-
pecially numerous in and around Il
dairy and get into the milk in many
ways. Thousands of them are con-
cealed in crevices that can barely be
seen, and if they come in contact with
milk they will increase many thousand
fold within short time and set up bad
lamentations, which are familiar to
all dairymen. - Kansas Experiment
