FEEDING FOR MILK

There are those who think that you
can feed COW anything under the sun
and have the milk and butter Of good
flavor. Don't let that notion get into
your head. Feed good sweet things IL
you want your butter to have a nice
flavor.
Pumpkins ~ Cow Feed.
1t Is an old notion that COW will
fail in her milk when fed on pumpkins,
but there Is no truth in this theory.
Apple P0mace.
From fifteen to thirty pounds Of ap-
pie pomace have been fed daily to
dairy animals at the Connecticut sta
ton with satisfactory results. When
fed in a balanced ration it Is estimat.
ed that -four pounds Of apple pomace
is equivalent to one pound of good
hay. Feeders are cautioned against
feeding too large quantities of apple
pomace at first. Judging from all the
data available, 1t is believed that farm
ers living In the vicinity Of cider mills
will find it good economy to utilize the
pomace as food for their dairy stock.
Feed Literally.
What to feed and how much to feed
Is often hard question for the farmer
to answer. A cow weighing 1.OOC
pounds and kept In a good barn most
of the time will need about seven.
tenths of pound Of digestible pro
tein and seven pounds Of carbohydrates
for body maintenance. And it is what
we feed In excess of this that we get
our profits from. Kimbalrs Dairy
Farmer.
Producing MIX In Winter.
Silage, clover hay and a proper grain
ration are all good for the purpose.
A feed day also Of oat hay Is found
to be relished. The cows should have
what they will eat clean, but not to
waste, and the more good COW can
eat and properly digest the better she
should do.
Feeding Large and Small Cows.
To feed most economically each COW
must be individually fed and the quan.
tity Of feed she is given governed by
her size and the quantity of milk she
produces, says Kimball's Dairy Farm
er. Four pounds Of grain daily may
be as much as some cows can probably
be given, while others will make most
profitable returns from ten or twelve
pounds. Other things being equal. q
large cow requires more feed than a
small one and a COW giving a large
quantity Of milk more than one giving
a smaller quantity.

Cause of Udder Trouble.

The more highly developed the dairy
COW becomes the more important is II
to give her more consideration at the
close Of her lactation period, says
Hoard's Dairyman. Frequently COW
is supposed to be thoroughly dry and
turned out into the dry pasture when
she should be kept with the cows that
are giving milk and until all secretions
in the udder have stopped. 1t Is mis-
take to permit the udder to retain any
thick, mattery substance, for undoubt
eddy many cases Of udder trouble car
be traced to not removing this sub
stance from the udder. Moreover, it Is
not well for the animal to absorb this
material into her system.

Humming Birds.

Scientifically humming birds are ''tro-

cial study Of them are ''trochilidists,' .
although the birds are not Identical
with the old Greek "trochilus," or "rnn-
ner." bird, which, according to Herod
otus. entered the jaws of the sleep
Ing crocodile and obliged its big friend
by picking leeches from his throat. The
Spanish name for the humming bird IL
'tOminejo." meaning third of dram
and referring, of course. to the birds
minuteness. But the prettiest names
are those, such as the French 'frou.
frou." which refer to the humming
noise sometimes produced by the al
most incredibly rapid vibration Of the
wings. "Purring with her wings" is
the expression Of Thomas Morton
1882, the first English writer to naen

CONCERNING GARGET,
The Cause, Symptoms and Treatment
Of This Disease.

The Cause, Symptoms and Treatment
Of Thi. Disease.
Garget Is an Inflammation Of the I'D
der and may affect one quarter or more
at time, writes H. G. Manchester in
Rural New Yorker. Sometimes it is
confined to the teat. There are a mum.
Der of causes, such as injuries, as by
kicking, being stepped upon by other
cows. being hooked by other cattle, ly-
ing on cold and wet floors or frozen
ground. These latter more often occur
tended. The more common cause in
my opinion is injudiclous feeding Ell
Their too much of a one sided ration-too
much cornmeal, hominy, gluten or cot
tonseed meal will cause garget.
There is also an infectious garget, be-
ginning usually with a slight swelling
at the teat opening. A scab forms and
1t is almost impossible to draw the
milk; then It Is clotted, the quarter be-
comes hard and is ruined. Ordinary
garget caused by improper feeding can
usually be detected before 1t has done
much harm. The quarter will feel
warm and perhaps hot. The teat will
have a smooth, velvety feeling that is
unnatural AS soon as these symptoms
are discovered stop grain feed for a
day or two and battle the udder in hot
water. Rub the quarter gently but
firmly and wipe very dry after bathing
to prevent cold. Milk out the quarter
thoroughly. These directions followed
have often caused cure in twelve to
twenty-four hours. After 1t has run
several days it is much more difficult
to cure, but know of nothing better
than hot water, rubbing on vaseline
after drying.
The best thing we have found for the
infectious garget is to keep end Of teat
well creased with carbonated vaseline,
workinEA little into the teat opening.
Ordinary garget is not contagious and
generally only one quarter is affected
and, II cured, this quarter Is more
liable to cause trouble again. Proven
tive measures are best, and II you are
having lots of 1t find the cause, which
imagine is the feed they are getting,
and change this to more healthful
ration.

when the devil started forth from his
own place to the garden of Eden he
was too lazy to walk and begged all
the animals, one after another. to car
ry him. All refused except the SER
pent, which was then quadruped and
the most beautiful Of all beasts. Yield
ing to the entreaties of Satan. the ser
pent took up the devil on its back and
carried him the rest of the way, no
one knows how far. and after the con-
sequences of the devils entry into the
garden became apparent the angels
were commanded to look up the ser
pent and punish it, so Michael cut off
its legs. and it was doomed hence
forth to travel about as best ii could
