SOME DAIRY HINTS.
Ration For q Heifer caH-A Cure For
Sore Teats.

u
Sore Teats.
In rearing heifers for the future
dairy herd we should feed them in
way to avoid the fat forming habit.
Fat calves are pretty to look at, but
are not being handled to make good
COWS. A calf that is fed to lay on fat
will, when it reaches the age Of milk
production, continue the habit, divert
ing the feeds to fat rather than to
milk. A heifer calf should be fed
ration largely protein in content-sweet
skim milk, oats. bran, oilmeal and
clover hay being among the best feeds,
says a writer in Kimbal's Dairy
Farmer. The skim milk fresh from the
separator will be the best source for
the major part of the ration up to four
months of age. 1t should be fed to the
calves in galvanized pals. These
should be thoroughly washed and
scalded daily to avoid communicating
the milk with germs of disease. The
feeding should be done where the
calves cannot reach each others ears
to suck them.
In dry teat milking we often find
cows with short teats that cannot be
MIXED in that way, OF cow may have
tender teats that will not submit to
this style of milking. Again, we eNhave
during the spring and fall months chap
ped and scratched teats that cause the
cows to kick. To avoid all this trouble
and yet keep within the rules of sani-
tary milking, buy five or ten pound
can of yellow vaseline. With this at
your milk bench in an open box you
can make the cows teats sound and as
soft as velvet.
The freshening heifer can be treated
daily for some time before freshening,
amounting her teats and handling them
at the same time. In doing this you
will have no breaking-in period. She
will submit to being MIXED like an old
COW. To use the vaseline properly,
take an amount the size of a bean or a
little larger, owing to the size of teats
to be treated. With the free hand
brush off the udder, then anoint the
teats with the vaseline and milk the
COW. You will find that the teats be-
come so soft that they can be MIXED
with the greatest ease. There will be
no sores

Cure For Dirty Milk,

The question is, What is the remedy
for dirty milk? Some say if we ster-
ilize or pasteurize all will be well.
But why injure the biologic properties
of milk by heating? Why permit the
dilution of milk by excrement, then kill
the bacteria by heat and swallow the
mixture? Why not prevent rather
than cure? The remedy is simple
We should insist upon clean milk and
be willing to pay for it; encourage
the production of a sanitary supply
and refuse to buy excrement and pus;
buy of the man whose supply costs
cent or two more per quart to pro-
duce and let the sloven learn that
cleanliness is an asset and filth a
heavy load to carry.-Charles Harring-
ton, Secretary Massachusetts State
Board of Health.

In the
Dairy

Is bull worth $1,000? It's not an
easy matter to show in dollars and
cents just how bull is worth $1,000.
A great many men realize that it pays
to have a good sire at the head OF
their herd and are willing to pay $1OO
300 pounds of butter fat year re-
quires good blood at it's head to keep
up that yield.
1t takes as much room to care for a
200 pound COW as 800 pound one and
costs about the same for feed and la
Dor. Roughly speaking, there is a diff
ference in profit of 100 pounds of fat
per year, which is worth from $40 to
S25. If a COW that will produce 200
pounds of fat in year is worth $50, a
COW that will produce 300 pounds is
worth 500.
If this statement be true, the ques-
ton is, How much is a sire worth that
will produce such cows if a scrub that
will get 200 pound cows is worth $25?
A good sire ought to get on the average
twenty-five heifers a year. Now, if
these heifers will produce 500 to $25
apiece more butter per year than those
from the scrub bull it means an in
creased income of $500 to $625 per
year, or the interest ON $4,000.
The sire is getter of a crop Of
calves each year, and his blood is
handed down to the coming genera
tions through his daughters and sons,
which of course makes it impossible
to estimate exactly his value. 1t is an
open question whether the ordinary
breeder can afford to pay $4,000 or

MILK AND BUTTER.

That the natural tendency of things
at this time of the year is to incor-
porate too much water in the butter
is warning to creamery butter max
ers given by Professor G. L. Mckay
in Dairy Progress. Repeated tests that
he has made demonstrate that butter
makers are quite liable to incorporate
too much water. He thinks locality
and feed have an important bearing in
this matter. Churntng with the churn
two-thirds or more full and at high
temperature with large granules has a
tendency to increase the percentage Of
moisture. Trying to approach the 16
per cent limit is dangerous operation.
Carrying Forward the Starter.
When an exceptionally good starter
is secured it can be propagated from
day to day by adding small portion
of it to a quantity of sweet skim milk,
enough milk being used to make the
necessary amount of starter for the
cream to be churned. This controls
the souring Of the milk just the same
as the addition of starter to the cream
controls the souring of the cream.
Where one is churning every day this
is a very good method for carrying
forward the starter.-E. H. Webster.
The Color of Milk.
The ideal favor of milk might per-
haps be regarded as negative rather
than a positive flavor. 1t should be
slightly saline and sweet, with no aft
sr taste whatever. The color of milk
plays more important part in getting
a good price for a good product than
some. are willing to admit and is af
fected by the individuality of the COW
and the feeding By selecting for
each nerd some cows that give high
colored milk and discarding those
which impart too much 'sky blue" by
judiciously feeding with succulent
foods and alfalfa and clover hay and,
Ii necessary, some yellow cornmeal,
one can influence the color to a marked
degree.

Director J. L. Hills of the Vermont

problem of age as it affects the milk
value of cows. Figuring ON the year

cludes that the COW makes a gain of
one-sixth in flow in her third year and
attains the maximum flow during the
fifth year of her life.

A Tidy Sum From a Good Flock.

A correspondent sends the following
account of the extra good returns re-
ceived from flock of 130 hens owned
by Miss Marcia Warren of West Bald
win, Me-:
During last year 1,490 SO dozen eggs
were produced, which sold for $3S4.S7.
The sales of poultry amounted to $94.-
62, making the total receipts $479.49.
The feed bill was $220.13, leaving
$259.36 net profit, or practically 50
per hen. Miss Warren did all the
work herself, Matching all chicks by
hen power. The eggs are sent to
Boston to retail dealer. No breeding
stock was sold nor eggs for extra
prices. Dry feeding is practiced.

Dairy Ration For South Carolina.


Cottonseed meal and corn silage form
by far the cheapest dairy feeds avail
able. to our dairymen. The cost of
such ration is only slightly more
than half as much as that of the COM
mon dairy ration now fed in this
state.
Our good results in the exclusive
feeding of cottonseed meal and corn
silage as a dairy ration are undoubted-
ly largely attributable to the fact that
the corn silage was made from well
matured corn rich in grain, making it
especially rich in carbohydrates. I'm
less silage is especially rich in grain
ration consisting entirely of corn silage
and cottonseed meal will lack in non
nitrogenous matter-Bulletin, Clemson

KILL OFF THE RATS.
How These Poultry House Nuisanees
May Be Exterminated.

The following is taken from a pub
ncation of the United States depart
ment of agriculture known as bulle-
Destroying Rats"
For poisoning rats in buildings and
yards occupied by poultry the follow
ing method is recommended: Two
wooden boxes should be used, one con-
siderably larger than the other and
each having two or more holes in the
sides large enough to admit rats. The
poisoned bait should be placed on
the bottom and near the middle of
the larger box, and the smaller box
should then be inverted over it. Rats
thus have free access to the bait,
but fowls are excluded.
Trapping, if persistently followed,
Is one of the most effective methods
of destroying rats. The improved
modern traps with wire fall released
by baited trigger and driven by
eoiled spring have marked advantages
over the old forms, and many of them
may be used at the same time. These
traps, sometimes called guillotine
are VI utSlSHo, lhC
more simply constructed are to be pre-
ferred. Probably those made entirely
of metal are best, as they are less
likely to absorb and retain odors.
Sundry bats for guillotine traps are
given and methods of batting. and the
bulletin gives the following:
By the persistent use of traps, occa-
sional resort to poison, and the exer-
else of forethought in the construction
Of farm buildings so as to minimize
the opportunities for harborage, farm
ers and others may prevent the greater
part Of the loss and annoyance they
now experience from rat depredations.
The same statement applies in great
measure to city and village conditions;
hence cooperation in the warfare on
rats is particularly important and can
not be too strongly urged.

"Cannibal" Chickens.

Some broods of chicks will form can
nibal habits of picking one another in
spite of almost anything one can do.
When once the habit Is formed it IS
very difficult to remedy. Divide the
chicks into small f1ocks, not over
twenty-five or thirty each, provide
them with litter of NOW sweepings,
cut clover or alfalfa to scratch in and
see that they are plentifully supplied
with granulated bone and beef scrap
In addition to their grain food. Keep
charcoal always before them.
