Acc Limit of Dairy Cows.

A bulletin from the Wisconsin sta
tion states that COW is at her best
during her fifth and sixth years, up
to which time the production of milk
and butter fat by cows in normal
condition increases each year. The
length OF time the COW will maintain
her maximum production depends on
her constitution, strength and the
care with which she is fed and man
aged. A good dairy COW should not
show any marked falling off until
after ten years of age. Many ex-
cellent records have been made by
cows older than this. The quality
of the milk produced by heifers is
somewhat better than that OF older
cows, for a decrease has been noted
OF one-tenth to two-tenths OF one
per cent. in the average fat content
for each year until the cows have
reached the full age. This is caused
by the increase In the weight Of the
cows with advancing age. At any
rate, there seems to be parallelism
between the two sets of figures for
the same cows. Young animals use
portion of their food for the for
nation of body tissue, and It is to
be expected, therefore, that heifers
will require larger portion of nu-
triments for the production OF milk
or butter fat than do other cows.
After certain age has been reached,
on the average seven years OF age,
the food required for the production
Of unit OF milk or butter fat again
increases. both as regards dry matter
and the digestible components of the
food. A good milk COW OF excep-
tional strength, kept under favorable
conditions, whose digestive system
has not been impaired by oyerfeed-
ing or crowding for high results,
should continue to be a profitable
producer until her twelfth year. al
though the economy of her produc-
ton is apt to be somewhat reduced
before this aGs IL reached. --Balti-

Fats as Milk Feeds.

1t was formerly believed that the
fat in the food was the main source
of the fat in the milk. A good COW.
however, will produce in year a
much larger amount of fat in the
milk than she consumes in the food,
showing that the fa.1 are in part
produced from other nutrlments. In
vestigations that have been made
show that it is not possible to in
crease either the percentage or the
total amount of fat in the milk for
any appreciable time by the feeding
of fats or oils. Where fats have
been fed to COWS, even at the rate of
two pounds or more per day of tai
low, cotton-seed oil, or other fats,
the fat content of the milk was not
permanently increased. - American

There are many theories among
poultry raisers as to the cause Of the
cape worm getting into the chickens
throat. Some claim that the chicken
louise causes gapes, but this theory is
not reasonable one, since chicken
lice and cape worms are two entirely
different species of pests which
trouble the poultryman. The gener-
ally accepted theory of late years is
that cape worms after they get a
start on farm or in poultry yard
live over winter as parasite of the
angle worm and that the chickens get
them from eating the worms or else
pick up the eggs from the soil.
The best plan of fighting the cape
worm is to put the chickens on new
ground each year, but this is often
not practical, and a liberal applica-
tion of quicklime to the poultry yard
will greatly aid in destroying the
cape worm. II the chickens are kept
from the earth which is infested with
the cape worm until they are large
enough to escape the gapes, they
may be avoided in this way: 1t is
generally thought that old chip yards
give the chicks the gapes, but have
one of the oldest chip yards in this
part of the country, and the chicks
run over 1t, but do not take the
gapes, so 1t is not in the chip yard
unless the yard is infested with the
cape worm. Not all angle worms
are breeders of the cape worm, as
the cape worm is a parasite, and
unless they get start in the poultry
yards the angle worms are as free
from them In that soil as the chicks
are. Likely the old theory that lice
are responsible for cape worms had
its origin in the noticeable fact that
| lousy chicks are more likely to sue
cumb to the gapes than ones that
are not lousy. Lice and gapes work.
ing together will kill any young
chicken, and either alone is bad

Some Facts About the Dairy.

In a recent address by Prof. Hills,
of the Vermont Station, he said that
we should be open-minded about a
good many dairy topics and accept
what proves to be wise. Late de-
velopments he says show that the
German standard, which requires ap-
proximately two and one-half pounds
of protein per COW, per day, is SUBJ
ject to considerable modification. He
had seen good results from COWS ca
pable of producing $50 pounds of
butter or more a year. on ration
containing one and one-half pounds
of digestible protein. Protein occu-
pies too prominent a place in the
German standard.
He has found that very heavy
feeding does not give good financial
returns. A COW with all the clover
hay she will eat, a good ration of
silage and six pounds of grain gives
better returns than one with eight
TO twelve pounds of grain. The grain
fed in excess of eight pounds does
not return proportionate results.
Concerning the milking-machine,
he considers it a labor-saver, easily
cleaned, close milker, better than
the average mixer. 1t has been in
use for over three years. He believes
that for the dairyman having thirty
cows or more it will be a good in
vestment.

Root Crops For Cows.

Roots can form to advantage a
part of many rations, particularly
where silage is not available. They
contain too much water to form the
entire ration. Potatoes contain the
largest amount of digestible matter,
but are not readily eaten unless
cooked. Mangels are the heaviest
ylelders, but contain so large a per-
centage of water that they are rather
expensive to handle. Sugar beets
contain much less water, but are
more difficult to grow, and do not
produce so heavy yield. Artichokes
often make a profitable hog feed,
where the hogs are permitted to do
the harvesting.

To Cure Scaly Log.

Scaly leg is a filth disease, IL 1t
can be called a disease, it being
caused by tiny mite which burrows
under the scales of the legs and
toes.
1t lives and breeds there. The
remedy is very simple and easy.
1t is only necessary to grease the
legs with any kind of grease. An
ointment of a third kerosene oil and
two-thirds lard is easily applied, and
II we'll rubbed on and in half dozen
times, couple of days apart, should
kill the mites, and the scales will
come off. Don't pull off the scales
that have become large. That hurts
the birds, something as pulling off
your finger nails would hurt you.--

How to Feed a Dairy Cow.

A practical dairyman writes the
Jersey Bulletin on feeding his cows.
He says: "Our herd numbers in all
hfteen head. Our cows are grained
the year round, have the run of pas
ture in summer, and are we'll housed
in winter. Our summer ration for
a dairy cow is barley chop, about four
pounds per diem. In winter we use
shredded fodder for roughage; grain
ration, eight pounds per day per COW
of a mixture of cornmeal, barley
meal, malt sprouts and cotton-seed
meal, mixed in the required propor-
tions to produce feed which would
analyze one part of protein to six Of
carbohydrates. Our cows are not
allowed to stand alongside a straw
stack for shelter when the thermom-
eter shows something a little less
than zero, but are kept in the stable,

more than ordinary patience, "You
better write this over again, my boy"
he said. Don't use so many old ex.
pressions. Try to keep everything
new and up to date. Don't use SO
many hackneyed phrases. Original.

Cement For Barns.

A prominent Iowa farmer was
ready to build big barn this spring,
but the estimates on the lumber
scared hfn out The other day he
figured with man owning concrete
mixer and a cement block machine
and found that the barn could ac-
tually be built of concrete blocks for
less than of lumber. And, besides, it
would be almost entirely fireproof,
aside from the roof. A sand and
gravel pit is only a mile distant, and
the plan is to have the mixer and
block machine brought to the farm
and the blocks made there.
