The Cost of Keeping q Cow a Year.

When we are not able to work
out a problem in one way we US
ually try another. We have been
endeavoring for a good many years
and SO far as we know, with but lit
tie result, to induce our readers tc
buy a Babcock test, a pair Of scales
a pencil and pad of paper, and fine
out what COWS are making them &
profit, what cows barely pay fol
their keep, and what cows are KEEP
at a loss.
We know as well now as We
would know after the test is made
that in every herd that has moi
been tested and the poor COWS weed
ed out, that there are some that are
kept at a loss, which like the lean
cows in Pharaoh s dream, are eating
up the substance of the good cows
fthe farmer will not try this
method, we ask him to do another
thing: To sit down some day when
it is too wet to plow cbrn or make
hay and figure out for himself what
it costs him to keep. his COWS year.
We do not mean what money he
pays out, but the value Of the grass
they eat during the summer season,
the value Of the hay and grain they
eat during the winter. 's-'
This cost will vary on different
farms; but each farmer can work ii
out for himself. Put it in this way:
Suppose Wallaces' Farmer should
comefto you with proposition to
keep ten cows for year on good,
generous feed, reserving the skim
milk, the calves, and the manure
for your labor and giving us the
butter, what would you ask US?
Imagine receiving just such a prop
osition from us or from some neigh
Dor, and then figure out what
would be sufficient remuneration.
Don't make any guess in the matter
but figure out what you could afford
to keep these ten cows for an entire
year.
Having done this, write us just
what you would take. We are quite
anxious to secure estimates from
farmers on the cost Of keeping ten
milk COWS one year SO that they will
neither gain nor lose in their weight.
We think symposium of this kind
from farmers in the different states
would prove exceedingly interesting
reading. :
Then go to your books and find
out just what your COWS have paid
you during the last year, taking no
account Of the butter and milk con-
sumed on the farm. If you will do
this, then you will be more ready to
listen to us when we ask you to test
your cows and tell us how many of
them have yielded you a profit, how
many have barley paid for their
keep, and how many have been kept
at a loss.-Wallaces' Farmer.

should not be passed by. We have
never known one to be injured by it
while on the other hand its use has,
in many cases that have been
brought to our attention, kept large
punches of hogs absolutely healthy
until they were sent to the market
at good weights.
Than, of couse, there is the use
OF charcoal, which is an excellent
thing for pigs or,hogs of any kind
If you do not have pit it is en-
tirely practicable to build fire on
the surface of the ground and grad
ually add cobs or wood until you
have pile four or five feet high.
When the flames have penetrated
through this, and before the cobs
have burned to an ash, dash on plenty
of cold water, and SO much the bet
ter if this is mixed with salt. It
is ready to feed at once, and you
than have. a mixture of charcoal and
salt that is really palatable and we
think a very good mixture for hogs.
A little copper sulphate solution add
ed to the water that is used in put
ting out the fire is also a good
thing.
1t pays also to be somewhat lib
eral in the use of dips around. their
sleeping quarters and feeding pla-
ces, and also in wallows. A pint
of dip thrown in the average hog
wallow has very beneficial effect
on the hair and hide of the average
hog, and we always believe it has
the effect of destroying germs. Lime
is also a good thing to scatter over
the ground where you feed ear corn,
and occasionally it pays to throw a
little air-slacked lime in their feed
ing troughs. This sort of sweetens
up things and the hog is an animal
that always appreciates a clean
sweet trough by showing just a
little better appetite under those
circumstances-Homestead.

Unthrifty Pigs.

We always consider that it takes
good ability on the part of any man
to carry bunch of hogs through
and keep them thrifty from start to
finish without a single setback. 1t
cannot be done on corn and water,
and, indeed, in many instances, it
cannot be done on corn pasture and
water. lfyou have a big bunch you
will notice that there will be one off
feed here, and one there. and some
will be slow about coming out Of
the pen and be of course Indifferent
to their feed. These pigs stand still
in growth and Of course give the
owner worry.
While we do not believe in pro-
miscuously doping hogs, thereby
running the risk OF injuring their di-
gestive organs, at the same time we
think ordinarily that it pays to
throw in a few extras.
For instance we have found it an
excellent thing to use little coal
tar dip in the slop once or twice a
week. while this is quite unpalata-
BILE and must be used in quantities
varying from one quarter to one-hali
a pint in a fifty-gallon barrel Of
slop, at the same time if the pigs
appetites are kept sharp they will
stand for this quantity. The feeder
however, must learn just how much
they will use and give them
what his judgement dictates
There is no danger of overriding it
because if you get it to strong the
hogs will not eat their slop. Oul
thought is that coal tar destroys in
ternal parasites, and these are tn
cause Of many of the hogs ailments
