In a recent dairy article the author
gave his method Of caring for his herd
of dairy cows, presumably the fancy
herd of a wealthy owner, who was
breeding stock for pastime and who
had plenty of money to hire all the
help necessary to care for his stock in
the way mentioned. His method would
keep man, several men, If the herd
was a large one, in the stable from
half past in the morning till G or later
at night It called for grooming and
cleaning three times day, watering
twice and feeding hay and grain six
times
While the farmer cannot perhaps
give his cows the attention received by
the herd above mentioned, he can have
a system of caring for his stock and be
regular in carrying it out, and this Is
the main thing, says writer in the

doing each part of the work in the

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

Some Valuable Points on Building Up q
Dairy Herd.
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 considera-
ton, among other things, climate, food
he is prepared to furnish, kind Of barn
he has, market for his milk and his
personal taste. Decide and act prompt
" in the matter
Get a Good Sire.
Next purchase pair or trio, and
with them lay the foundation of pure
bred herd. If expense makes this i'm
practicable, purchase registered sire
and get calf from a COW with good
record Of production. Get the best
possible sire of the breed chosen, as he
Is half the herd.
The next step In gradi:..,s up a herd
is to be sure not to inbreed. 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 a prof
table herd, which, while 1t cannot be
registered, will show splendid results.
Another step-do not breed any heif-
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 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, an
unbalanced temper spoil the result of a
balanced ration, and comfortable quar-
tiers are needed as much as proper
food.
Poor and Improbable cows should be
picked out and disposed Of, the safest
process being to weigh the milk and
test for butter fat. One thing more

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

Keeping Dairy Cows Clean.

l have small herd of light colored
Jerseys. and they are always clean and
free from thick coat Of manure on
their thighs, says a writer in Orange
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 1t would be impossible to
keep her clean even If she were
clipped. Any farmer can make a plat
form In his stable out of clay or ce-
ment. like clay platform with a
cement gutter. The platform must not
be too long or too short: it must be
Just right for the length of the COW.
Keep the platform will Uttered with
straw. Clean the cutters twice a day,
and cows can be kept nice and clean
without clipping them.

WASHING THE COWS UDDERs.
cows will not stand to be MIXED unless
they are eating. This is merely force
Of habit and proves my idea as to reg
ularity. Regularity is the first and
most essential thing in caring for stock.
AS to grooming, it pays to do certain
amount of it.
Dairy cows should be groomed each
day. The amount of grooming may de-
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 we'll, and 1t is not car
ing for stock well to neglect to give
them at least a slight brushing.
No great amount of time need be
spent on them. A man who has never
done it 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 a lot of cows
will prove beneficial IL the caretaker
can give them no more. Be regular
about feeding, watering, grooming and
milking, and your stock will look we'll
even II you have other work to de-
mand good part of your time.
But If one has the stock to require
one man most Of the time to care for
them it is better to have one man do
the work rather than have two or
three do the work up quickly and then
all go at something else. A regular
man in the barn, with perhaps some
help about the milking. is better than
two or three part of the time and then
no one In the barn through the day.
The Illustration, from Kimbalps
Dairy Farmer, shows the employees of
a large New York dairy farm washing
the cows udders just before milking.
This and the scientific aeration and
bottling of milk with sterilized uten-
sils amid sterilized surroundings are
only parts of the entire process.
Healthy, tuberculin tested cows, sunny,
healthful, dustless, we'll ventilated,
clean, whitewashed stables, absolute
cleanliness of mixers clothes and
hands, covered milk pals, proper feed
for the cows and pure water are all
equally important items In most of
these fine diaries straw Is considered
as being too dusty for use as bedding;
planer shavings are used instead.

DAIRY WISDOM.

Remember there will be no advance
ment, no upgrading, unless you have
secured the best bred, most prepotent
animal at the head Of your herd that Is
Obtainable. Improvement only comes
through the superior qualities Of the
males used.
Have wrench, a screwdriver and a
small hammer just for use around the
separator and other buttermaking ma
chinery and never use them for any
other purpose.
Just because it's colder and you may
not be able to smell the odors from the
cream separator SO plainly, don't imag-
Inc that it doesn't need just as careful
cleaning.
Because the COW falls off in milk 1t
does not always follow that she is sick.
There may be something wrong with
her feed. Look into that. Often it is
the man and not the COW at all.
Do not under any circumstances feed
hay or fodder while milking.
The filthy COW stable makes itself
known in the flavor of the milk.
Manage your cows SO you can know
where shrinkage takes place.
1t is not always necessary to buy ex-
pensive stock to improve your dairy.
Exposure to storms and cold causes
shrinkage that cannot be fully re-
stored.
Expensive barns and stables are not
necessary for the production of SAM
tary milk. Common sense, cleanliness
and quick cooling are the three main
points.
Some people salt the cows as they
make good resolutions-only occasion
ally. Do it regularly and do it WE'LL
Kimball's Dairy Farmer.
In some cases where cows have been
milking for long time there Is some
difficulty in churning. The addition of
one Or two fresh cows in the milking
herd will often overcome the difficulty
Farm Journal.
The best way to bring cream to the
proper temperature is by putting the
cream can into a pail or tank of very
warm water. Stir gently until the
cream is of the proper temperature.
Never churn in cold room. The but
ter will be cheesy if you do. The
churning room should be about the
temperature Of the cream.
Salt thoroughly rubbed around on
the inside of the churn after it has
been rinsed with hot water Is a first
rate thing to make it clean and sweet.
Rinse the salt out with water.
Dry cows should be fed so as not to
take on much flesh. Keep them in
model condition, and they will yield
better.
It is only by testing cows that the
dairyman can tell whether they are
yielding profit or making a loss. 1t
is the only way by which he can with
absolute certainty weed the nonpayine
animals from his herd.
The faculty of appropriation is devel-
oped and fixed in the individual COW
by usage and habit. No cow Is good
enough to yield her owner large profit
under poor care and i'll treatment.
Many COW that is good at chewing
grass and licking up cornmeal and
bran is poor on the udder business.
