Care of a Ca'vine Cow.

IF 4 COW is a very heavy mixer and
in high condition. it would be well to
give her light feed for about a week
before freshening, to thin the blood a
little, as a preventive of milk fever.
Keep close watch Of her and put her
in a box stall at night, so that when
she does calve she may have her free
dom. After calving give her a warm
mash of bran with a handful of salt
scattered on top. Let the calf suck
and then strip her out and put her
back in her stall. See that she cleans.
Do not give her any cold water until
after she has cleaned. Work her slow

milk heifer before calving. Let the
calf suck once, and if the heifer takes
kindly to her milker and gives down
her milk freely she is just as we'll off

her milk and wants her calf let her
hare it. Milk her at the same time

FEEDING SHEEP
FOR PROFIT

have fed in Nebraska and Wy6-
ming and have always done it on a
large scale. II have been quite success
fnl and suppose my experiences will be
helpful to others. even though engaged
on smaller scale, writes a Montana
! breeder in American Agriculturist. lun
The first essential is to get good
sheep. To nay notion that is the most
vital point. For my part would pre-
fer Merino, Rambouillet or Delaine
grades, as they are very hardy, good
fatteners, and their wool is fine and
gives them good protection against
cold, wet weather more so than the
| coarse wooled breeds. +'#
Making Good Trough.
More care should be taken in start
ing sheep, especially lambs, than any
other stock, as they easily ove-feed
themselves. and it is not an easy mat
ter to get them back to their normal
condition again. Troughs should be
built for sheep according to their size.
Take sixteen foot board ten or twelve
inches wide. Nail four inch cribbing
on the sides and put ends on of the
same material. Take 2 by As and cut
thirty-two inches long. Cut slanting
i'll the middle four inches and nail to
sides about two and one-half feet from
the END and brace under the bottom
This will keep the sheep from tipping
them over. Take two pieces of six
inch material and cut on one end four
inches down, SO as to let i'll Il cribbing
four inches wide in tie slot so 1s.ade
Nail small piece to the end Of trough
and put in cribbing and nail. Then
brace on middle with two inch piece
This will keep the sheep from getting
in the trough with their feet. This
plan is for Il lamb trough. Make a lit
tie higher for grown sheep.
Starting on Feed.
For wethers give one peck Of oats in
the same manner to each hundred, all
the hay they will eat both lambs and
older sheep, and increase gradually un-
til all the sheep have learned to come
to the trough when the gates are open
ed. When all have become accustomed
to feed and they clean up one-half
bushel of oats to the hundred, thea mix
in about one gallon of cornmeal (corn
should never be fed whole and in
crease pretty rapidly with corn until
at the end of one month they should be
on about three-fourths full feed. Full
feed is all they will eat up clean in
about fifteen minutes. or about two
and one-half to three bushels for lambs
and from four to seven bushels for
wethers, according to age and size.
Gull ewes should be fed in self feed
ers when started, as they require more
time to eat than younger sheep. and in
place of corn use wheat screenings and
middlings, about half Of each to about
one-third of cornmeal. Self feeders are
not preferred for young sheep because
they have a tendency to gorge them
selves, and when that happens death
nearly always follows.

Keep the Colt Growing.

The first year of the colts life is very
important; therefore keep him growing
the first year, keep him growing the
second year, keep him growing the
third year and keep him growing the
fourth year, and in t&at same year, if
you are going to put him on the market
in the fifth year, feed him up and get
him fat. Fat covers 4 lot Of defects

don't want him too fat if we keep him

In Cheyenne county, Neb., Brott

has showa them that broadcast seed
ing does not give the best results in

driest seasons to perfect good. crop

In the course of their experiments
Brott brothers have tested drilling in
eighteen to twenty-five inch drills.
They have found that in drills of this

DurirS the more recent years they
have tested seeding alfalfa for seed

apart This allows the use of a two
row c'iltivator, enabling a man with a
good fsam on half mile rows to cult
vate eighteen to twenty acres daily.
They s'nd that to secure the best re-
suits IN conserving moisture they
should cultivate to tie depth of four
inches, cultivating four to five times
during the season.

is their purpose to cultivate 130 acres
of alfalfa the coming season and to
enlarge their plant as rapidly as they
can break the prairie and get the land
under cultivation.
The method which they now pursue
is to place fields under cultivation in
the early spring, thus conserving the
winter moisture, then keep the soil
loose and in good tilth until the 1st of
August and seed with drill. This
method avoids weed crop.

FEEDING FOR MILK

Only the amount of food in excess
animal heat and repair the waste of
the animal tissue can possibly be a
source of profit; hence the more a COW
can be induced to eat above this
amount within safe limits the larger
profits she should return in the total
amount of food consumed.
Feeding siIase to Cows.
In writing of the value of the silo in
the National Stockman and Farmer a
New York dairyman says:
About thirty or at most forty pounds
a day of silage is as much as should
be fed to each cow. If the feeding
commences Immediately after filling
the silo, and this is a good way to do,
there will lie no damaged silage at all.
My way to feed the silage ration is in
two feeds, night and morning, and it
is better to feed after milking, because
the peculiar odor of the silage might
affect the flavor of the milk.
1t Pays to Feed Well.
To be successful at dairying we
should know that a COW is machine
and that we will get out of her just in
proportion as we put in, writes c. l.
Hunt in American Agriculturist. We
would not think of taking pumpkins to
the mill for cider, neither should we ex-
pect to get milk from COW Sed on
timothy hay or corn fodder alone. Nor
should we expect a profit from cows
when they are fed barely mainte-
nance ration. The profit must come
from the excess Of feed above that
used to maintain life. How foolish,
then. to withhold the little extra, that
which pays for all the feed used. Is it
not much better to feed ration cost
ing say s. per month and produce $40
worth of milk than to use one costing
only $3.50 and get no returns?
Value of Salt.
Salt is a very important item in the
dietary of COW. and many people
are very careless and negligent about
feeding it. Salt is a constituent of the
body ard like all other constituents
mast be replaced through the channels
Of Eutrition. but salt has other func-

the assimilation of food, especially IA
cilitating tie passage of the albuni-
noiis of the food from the digestive
canal into the blood and facilitating
the circulation. thus increasing the en-
ergy of the vital processes.
Roots as Feed.
In arranging the plots and fields for
crops this summer do not forget to
plant an acre or two of roots for the
Gairy COW. Such roots as the so called
'cow beets,'' mangels, turnips and
even potatoes make an acceptable
change from the more concentrated
feeds during the winter. Most Of these
roots need not be planted till after the
corn is In. OF course none of the roots
are rich in food elements, since they
are composed largely of water. but that
Is where their value lies: They serve
as balance to the concentrated feeds.
