OLD MICH COWS.
Those Rightly Fed In Early Life VIII
Return a Profit.

II COW has been rightly fed for
all of her life she will be good cow
when she becomes old. A cow that
has been overfed for years will have
become burned out" by the time she
is 10 or IL years of age. The cow
that has never been fed to bring her
up to her highest capacity for milk.
giving will have fixed her habits of
milk-giving at a low point and will not
be valuable as an old COW. She
will therefore have to be disposed of
to the butcher several years before
she otherwise would have gone out of
service.
1t has been found by the Minnesota
station that multitudes of cows, IL fed
on properly balanced ration and
with large amount of succulent feed
the year around, would increase their
capacity for milk-giving. This Is what
develops the capacity of the COW. A
great many cows on our farms are
never fed with the idea of getting out
of them the greatest amount Of milk
possible each year, with due regard to
the health OF the cows. If this is done
the old cows Will still be giving a large
mess of rich milk
We know of old cows, says writer
in Farmers Review, that are still
proving profitable because they have
had the right kind of treatment They
are not overfed at one season OF the
year. They are not given green pas
turage at one time of year and forced
to content themselves with dry forage
for six months of the year. The silC
is the greatest help in the right feed
ing of cows, for 1t gives food prod
uct that is easy on the digestive or
gans of the cows and gives succuleni
| food the year round. The little veal
on the vitality of the animals bring:
them to old age in good condition
and with many years of usefulness be

DEHORNlNG CHUTE.
Continuance Which viii Make the
Task of Dehorning an Easy One.

One of the good points about this
chute is the hinged doors on the rear
end, which make it possible to adjust
the chute to any size barn door. Where
the width of the rear end of the chute
is stationary, and cannot be adjusted
to the door as shown in the illustra-
ton, there is often foot or two OF
space to be divided between the two
sides. AS our readers who have had
experience in dehorning know, an ami
NAL will always choose to pass through
this small opening rather than into the
chute, and thereby cause constant
aggravation. The chute proper is
mounted on two heavy timbers which
may be four-by-fours or four-by-sixes,

JUST PLAIN MILK.

The subject of clean milk continues
TO become more and more important in
the eyes of both consumer and pro-
Queer. In a series of experiments w.

the effect upon the purity and quality

cows, stripping, etc. He found that

and udder of the COW with Il damp
cloth just before milk.ng was very
effective in reducing the bacteria o II
tent. Thorough stripping reduced the
number Of bacteria found in the milk
at the next milking, while leaving a
small amount of milk in the udder had
directly the opposite effect.
The Foe the Dairyman Fights.
Under ordinary methods of producing
and handling, large numbers Of bac
terra get into milk. 1t is highly desira-
BILE that dairymen should know how to
prevent the entrance Of these organ
isms into the milk and to so handle ii
that the growth of those which do get
In will be reduced to the minimum. II
Is possible to produce a grade of milk
which shall contain but very few bac-
terra. This Is demonstrated by some
of the SO called sanitary or certi
fed milks which are now on the mar
ket, but these r produced at an In
creased cost and are sold at a price
considerably above that Of the regular
market milk. AT the present price
which the average producer gets for
his milk he cannot afford to greatly In
rease the cost Of production. In order
to meet the public demand for a better
grade of milk he must therefore make
use Of inexpensive means for prevent
ing the entrance and controlling the
growth of bacteria In his milk.

TILE DRAINS.
Simple Means of Increasing the Water
Movement.

Simple Means of Increasing the Water
Movement.
Where land requires the use of tile
drains the following hints may prove
useful. A writer in Iowa Homestead
says:
will give you my plan Of increasing
the working capacity of a tile drain.
| extend the upper end out TO Il fence
when practical, and to the last tile laid
| add an elbow sewer the same size
as the tile. and to the upper end of
this | add enough more to extend above
the surface of the ground. This gives
it air and causes it to draw faster
when it is running full or nearly so.
By having this vent under or near Il
fence 1t is put of the way of stock and
farming tools.
Another thing to do is to go to the
low places in your field directly over
the tile, dig to the tile and uncover
three or four joints and fill in over the
tile with old hay or trash of any kind
cobs are good-and leave it this way
through the winter and spring. provid-
ca tucic 10 NJ StOCk W gel III IL. luI>
will also let the water In much faster.
Before farming begins these holes may
be filed with dirt, leaving the trash in.
Still another good trick might be
mentioned. If you have a natural sur
face drain underlaid with tile and wish
to prevent surface washing, dig down
to your tile (where it passes under a
fence Is the best place. and take out
one section Of tile and pick a hole in
1t as large as necessary and replace it
with the hole upward. Then take an
other section with the same diameter
as the hole you made and fit ii over the
hole as close as possible and cement
around 1t to prevent dirt washing in.
On top OF this section set another, and
so on until your last one extends a few
inches above the surface. Fill dirt in
carefully, taking care that you do not
disturb your stand pipe. Just below or
ear this inlet make a bank or dam
across the drain SO as to back the over
flowing surface water up enough to
dow into this sink or inlet.
A sink of this kind near a large out
let Is very valuable in preventing the
washing around the header" or abut-
ment. These sinks should be made as
large as practicable. They can be
screened or grated II necessary.
