Dairy cows should be groomed each

pend somewhat on the amount of time
the farmer can spare from his other
work, but no farmer can afford to
wholly neglect it, no matter what his
other work What Is worth doing at all
Is worth doing well, and II is not car
ing for stock well to neglect to give
them &c least slight brushing.
No great amount OF time need be
spent IN them a man who has never
done Il will be surprised to see how
quickly he can go over a lot of COWS
with card and brush if done each day
or what an Improvement it will be to
the stock both in looks and condition
Two minutes each TO lot of cows
will prove beneficial If the caretaker
can give them no more. Be regular
about feeding watering. grooming and
milking. and your stock will look wei

But If one has the stock to require

three Go the work up quickly and then

Rinse the salt out with water.
Dry cows should be fed so as not TO

better.
1t Is only by testing cows that the

PROFITABLE COWS.
Some Valuable Points on Building Up .
Dairy Herd

J
| The dual purpose COW does not exist
All progressive farming of later days
! makes the dividing line all the more
| distinct between the beef and dairy
| breeds. The farmer has not yet been
found who can produce herd OF cat
tie that shall lead in both dairy and
| beef products at the same time. ] as
sumo that we are aiming TO have the
! best dairy herds and make as much
! money as we can.
| First let me insist that every dairy
man shall select the dairy breed that
suits him best, taking into conSilera
ton. among other things. climate. fooa
he is prepared to furnish. kind of barn
he has. market for his milk and his
personal taste. Decide and act prompt
ly in the matter.
Get Good Sire.
Next purchase pair or trio, and
with them lay the foundation of a pure
bred herd. If expense makes this i'm
practicable. purchase registered sire
and get a calf from COW with good
record of production. Get the bj /
possible sire of the breed chosen. as lie
Is half the herd.
The next step in grading up hero
Is to he sure not to inbred. When
you have heifers old enough to breed,
purchase for them another sire.
When the third, fourth or fifth grade
has been reached, you will have prof
liable herd. which, while ii cannot he
registered. will show splendid results
Another step-do not breed any hef
err until she is nearly or quite two
years old. Breeding heifers too young
is the leading cause Of every i'll bovine
flesh is heir to, and the balance may
be charged to inbreeding.
Food and Care.
Food and care bestowed upon a herd
form an important part in this up
building of the herd. Cruelty and pro-
family may largely counterfeit the ef-
feet of proper amount Of protein, ali
unbalanced temper spoil the result of
balanced ration, and comfortable quar-
tiers are needed as much as proper
food.
Poor and Improbable cows should br
picked out and disposed of, the safest
process being to weigh the milk ami
test for butter fat. One thing more
we must look well to the health of the
herd. We can buy healthy cattle and
largely keep them so if we will supply
pure air and sunshine as well as food
and water.
Success in building up dairy herd
will depend largely upon the love and
interest you put into the work, com

Judd Farmer We brush them down
before milking. But the secret OF keep
ing COW clean is in the stall. No COW
should be tied in stable without a
platform, as it would be impossible to
keep her clean even IL she were
clipped. Any farmer can make plat
form in his stable out of clay or ce-
ment. like a clay platform with a
cement gutter. The platform must not
be too long or too short; ii must he

METHODS OF SEEDING.
When the Earth Is Partly Frozen and
Later In Sprnq.

When the Earth Is Partly Frozen and
Later In Spring.
In describing good methods of seed
Ing an Indiana man writes in Orange
Judd Farmer as follows:
One method of seeding clover i'm this
section Is to SOW the seed in wheat or
rye during February or early March,
when the ground is practically bare
and has thawed slightly. The frost in
the night forms a honeycomb appear
ance on the surface. The seed lodges
In this mesh, and further freezing and
thawing bury the seed so that 1t be-
comes well grounded and is not germi-
mated by the first few warm days of
early spring, when it would be killed
by frequent sharp freezes.
The Secret of Success.
The secret of success with this meth
cd Is to SOW when the seed will not be
likely to wash into pockets and to sow
early enough so that it is completely
buried and out of danger of germinat-
ing until warm weather. This method
Is specially adapted to hard clay and
poor lands.
Plan of Late Seeding.
Another good method is late seeding
at time when a spiked tooth harrow
can be driven across the field. This
must not be attempted until the land
is dry and the harrow will work up
the surface soil. This method is prefer.
able on rich, loose soils, because there
is little risk of the seed being killed by
early freezes. The seed begins at once
to grow in the fine seed bed Besides,
the narrowing improves the growth OF
the winter crop worked upon.
Method With Oats.
Seeding In oats is practiccd by many
and has given good results when prop
erly followed The essentials are Il
mellow. dry seed bed on which the
seed is sowed close behind a disk har-
row before rain has packed the
ground. ! use this method frequently
I broadcast the oats, disk the ground
both ways, then harrow with spiked
tooth harrow and seed to clover
Finally the ground Ia rolled or harrow
ed thoroughly to cover the seed BY
seeding close after the disk and before
rains and thoroughly rolling and pack
ing the ground this method viii usual
ly prove successful The oats should
not be seeded quite so heavy when
clover is sown. or the latter will be
smothered out
Pasture Young Clover Lightly.
This clover should not be trodden
during the first year except to clip
down the weeds in August If, how
ever. it is very rank it may be pas
tured moderately until the first frost.
No stock should be allowed upon it
during the winter

Give the HOES Clean Water.

What the hogs need is clean water,
says a writer in Farmers Advocate. IT
there is stream on your farm. give
them access to It, If there is no
stream, construct some sort of bathing
pool for the hogs. A Texas farmer re-
Gently went so far as to construct q
great basin with granitoid bottom to
serve as q bathtub for his hogs and de-
clares that since then he has not had a
sick hog on the place. Give your hogs
clean water and keep their pens as
clean as possible, and they will thrive
better and be much more healthy than
under the old plan
