THE FEEDING PROBLEM.

First the breed, then the feed and
you will have stock indeed.
Patronize your local breeder Of pure
stock. You may have some stock to-
sell some time and breeders can help
each other a lot by cooperating.
A good animal is always more like
ly to prove profitable than a poor ami.
NAL, no matter at what low price the
latter may be obtained.
The horse stable should be kept ss
clean and dry as possible.
A bully bossy makes a bully bull.
A raw egg will often check the
scours quickly. Hard boiled eggs fed
with meal or middlings are also good.
The one danger Of a calf feeder is
that it may be allowed to become sour.
Boil the nipple in a little lime water
at least twice a week.
A Georgia dairyman claims to have
made $28 net in n year from one
COW and an acre of land. He also had!
500 worth Of manure from this COW.
Can anyone report a better return?
Why neglect the calves? A poorly!
fed calf cannot make a good cow.
neither will 1t bring good money as
beef or veal. Give them good pasture,
good grain, water and frequent
changes of rations

THE DAIRY HERD.
Pertinent Suggestions by DR.. David
Roberts, Cattle Specialist.

The principal dairy breeds are Hol-
stein, Jersey, Guernsey, Ayrshire and
Brown Swiss.
There r several other dairy
breeds, such as the French Canadian,
Kerry and Dutch Belted, etc., but
these are rather scarce at present.
In buying dairy cows, we have a
different standard to go by than in
selecting beef animals.
A dairy COW is a machine that
turns feed into milk and cream. So
we must look for one that will con-
vert the greatest quantity of feed into
the most milk and cream. The type
OF dairy COW we want is a COW weigh
ing about 1000 pounds. She must
have a lean head and neck. Her eyes
should be clear and large, indicating
health and temperament. Her body
should be narrow over the shoulders
and broad at the hips and rump.
She should have a large chest, indi-
eating vitality. Her pouch or belly
should be large, showing that she is
able to consume a large amount Of
rough feed.
She should have a set Of large,
branching milk veins leading to a,
well-developed udder, on which are
placed four good-sized teats.
She should carry very little flesh.
Before introducing any new COWS
into the stable, have them tuberculin
tested to avoid bringing any cows af-
fected with this disease among your
healthy herd.
Watch for any discharge that might
be due to abortion, as this is another
disease you must watch.
II you notice any discharge Of this
nature, wash out the vagina with a
good antiseptic solution and keep the
cow alone until cured.-Farmers'
Voice.

spolIlnu the Helfers.

It Is not difficult to spoil a young
heifer while yet a calf so that she will
be of much less value when she be-
comes a milch COW. If care is used
during early training the young heifer
can be made to stand as quietly az
an old COW. One trouble Is caused by
children who play with the calves and
teach them to butt. The children han
die the calves heads and in pushing
against their forehead soon learn them
to push. This may be fun for the chill
dren, but 1t spoils the calves as
they are ever after bad hookers and
often must be disposed of. They should
be early broken to lead and to stand
anywhere with a halter. I give them
salt and bran when they are quite
young AMI teach them to be handled
all over, says a writer in Farm and
Home, then when they become older
they stand quietly whenever l stop.

How to Purcbase calves


In order to make any feeding oper-
alton profitable the stock must be OBJ
tanned at a reasonable price, because
even a pure-bred animal will not bring
more on the block than its value for
meat, and thus the original cost of
the animal together with the cost of
the feed must be smaller than the
selling price. Calves may be bought
by the pound or by the head, the lat
ter being the most common way Of
buying and selling in the west and
southwest. The suggestion is made
that feeders unaccustomed to handling
young cattle should buy them by the
pound. because they are likely to over.
estimate their weight, thus at the
outset assuming a serious handicap

THE VETERINARIAN.
There Should Be a Place for Him In
Every Rural Community.

"N..uH
There are now In the United States
several good veterinary colleges, and
some of our universities are also grad
uating veterinarians. The graduates
are being sent out into various parts
OF the country to build up a practice
or are, rather, finding their own prac-
tice in chosen locations. These men
often find 1t a difficult matter to get
the patronage Of farmers, while in the
city they find abundant room and de-
mand for their services.
They should be heartily welcomed
into the rural districts, says Farmers
Review, and should be employed in
every possible case. They are a great
help to the live stock industry of the
country. Not the least Of their good
works Ia driving out the quacks that
are operating among the live stock.
There are numerous so-called horse
doctors" that pretend to have yeter-
mary information, and yet have had
no training whatever. Much of their
practice is malpractice and some of
their remedies are based on nothing
better than tradition.
The properly trained veterinarian is
letting in the light, and in time the
quack will find no call for his services.
The suffering among farm animals is
doubtless greater than most people
suspect. and some Of these sufferings
are very quickly relieved by the veter.
inarians that understand their bust
ness. The better the efficient veteri.
narians thrive the better will 1t be for
the aye stock interests Of the country.

For Char

When you smoke a cigar you want
a good one A poor cigar is a rank
abomination and a stencil in your own
nostrils and in those of your friends
within smelling distance.
The trouble with most of us is to
find a cigar with rich, satisfying aroma
and easy drawing qualities without
paying an exorbitant price for it. 1t
remained for Frank P. Lewis of
Peoria, ILL.,, to solve the problem for
us. His Lewis Single Binder SC cigar
is without doubt the peer Of any brand
of 10c cigars on the market. The
Lewis Single Binder cigar is wrapped
in tinfoil and reaches the smoker as
fresh as when leaving the factory. Its
smooth, rich, satisfying smoking quail
tiles are a delight both to the palate
and the nostrils of cigar connoisseurs
everywhere. In spite of the fact that
the Lewis factory employ no travel
ing men the sales this year will x
coed 10000 900, the demand being Gre
ated solely on the high quality of the
obacco used.

HOG BREEDING.
Directions for the Proper Care Of
sows for Spring Pigs.

After breeding the SOL may safely
run for a month or two with the gen.
eral herd, but must not receive the fat
tening rations of those that are being
prepared for market. Whenever the
weather permits she should have &C
cess to a field of rye or some other
forage substitute. 1t is not enough
that she should have such food, but
she needs the pleasure of hustling for
1t. The resulting exercise and con-
tentment are important. In case she
cannot find enough of such food it
should be supplemented by alfalfa hay
or something similar.
During winter, particularly in very
cold weather, some corr may be fed,
but the grain feed should be largely
confined to oats, wheat, barley, rye,
beans and peas. All these grains
are not necessary, neither is it wise
to feed just one, but some variety
should be furnished. What grains
are used should be determined by
their comparative cost. The evening
meal should be sufficient to satisfy the
appetite. Less than that is unwisei
economy; more is waste. Give plenty
of pure water. J
The SOW should enjoy a comfortable
shed, dry, loorea, roomy, so tight as
to exclude the wind, and having a
south window. A sash filled with
glass or covered with white cloth and
arranged to open and shut easily is,
worth more than it costs, says Farm
and Home. The door, about two feet
wide by three feet high, is most con-
Venient at n corner. Along one side
of this pen should be a trough for all
liquid and grain food and of such size
and shape as to serve as a protection
for the little pigs against being over
laid by the mother. On the other three
sides, except in front of the door, an
eight-inch board, eight inches above
the floor, will make a good fender. Or
dinarily in winter the door will be
closed at night and the window left
open.
