Dairy Wisdom In Brief

Cows are more sensitive and suscepti-
bic to cold than most other animals, on
account of the double drain upon them.
There are two extremes in caring for
the cow-negligence and overpamper-
ing. Avoid both.
A dairy thermometer is quite mex
pensive, and it is certainly labor
saving device.
Each individual in the herd should be
studied and given the care that she re-
qulres for best production.
Two sisters stood side by side in &
herd One required bulky. light food
10 cause her TO do her best; the other
required more concentrated food with
less bulk.
a separator if not properly looked
after is a source of many disagreeable
tants. Take il apart every time after
use and clean it thoroughly. and finish
cleaning with boiling water or steam II
possible.
Scrub brushes are the best articles
for use in cleaning dairy utensils.
Coarse linen cloths may also be used
them clean. The same method for
cleaning utensils should be followed
for cleaning cloths.
To produce heavy mixer continue
TO milk up to within a few weeks of
the cows second freshing; then before

Dairymen.
Experiments show that COW when
In full flow OF milk drinks from 1900
TO 1000 pounds OF water per month,
the average quantity determined by
testing herd being lG00 per COW.
This fact shows the Importance of un-
limited supply of water at all seasons
OF the year. says the American Guilt
vator. In every 100 quarts Of milk the
farmer sells about SO quarts OF water.
and when the COW cannot procure wa
ter at all times she will fall Off In
yield. MIX cows should always have
plenty OF pure water to drink. The
best water comes from a good well.

A clear running stream that Is not con

MASSACHUSETTS GRANGE.
Meets In Historic Faneuil Hall. Bos-
ton, with Large Attendance.


Old Faneuil hail. Boston. had within
its walls Dec. IL TO 13 n gathering of
the bone and sinew of the land. 1t
was an unusual scene. The hall was
profusely decorated for the occasion
with flowers, foliage and bunting as
well as an abundance of fruits and
farming produce. The state grange
has not met in the city of Boston since
1891, and since that time the number
of oranges In the state has doubled.
Out OF POI subordinate oranges 1915
were represented and all the twenty
Pomona oranges. State Master Rich
ardson in his annual address said that
the Order had increased 1900 within
the past year. and he suggested that
the grange take favorable action for
better laws on taxation calculated to
reach personal property. He argued
the Importance of good roads and the
need Of legislation TO protect them
from high speed automobiles, the de-
struction of the gypsy moth and the
need Of arousing public interest In
losses by insect pests. A large amount
Of business was transacted, and what
was perhaps the most important was
the selection OF committee of thirty
to carry into effect the vote OF the
grange for trying a system Of co-opera-
tive buying of agricultural supplies as
well as cooperative selling. The mas
ter OF each OF the twenty Pomona
oranges will be a, member OF this com
mittee of thirty. The executive com
mittee OF FIVE will also be members OF
II, and the remaining five were chosen
by the grange. The secretary of the
Grange Fire Insurance company re-
ported outstanding risks at nearly So.
100000. There are now 2.710 policy
holders. Secretary Howard reported
thirteen new oranges organized the past
year. the largest number In any one
year thus far. There are now POI sub
ordinate oranges with 21.374 members
The sixth degree was conferred on 500
new members. There was lecturers
conference attended by $40 lecturers,
their expenses being paid by their

BREAKING THE HEIFER.
If Carefully Handled, She Will Quick.
~ submit to Being MIXED.

~ submit to Being MIXED.
II isn't much of chore to break a
heifer to milk, not nearly SO much as
many of the writers on dairy topics
would have you suppose. All that is re-
quired are patience. firmness and gen
tleness. says writer in Farmers Advo-
cate. We have broken many heifers
and have never had one acquire the
kicking habit.
II is better to have the heifer halter
broken before she brings her first calf,
but there is no need that she should be
a perfect model Of gentleness, submis-
sive to all manner OF treatment, such
as being led about by an ear or having
her udder handled before there is need
for 1t. 1t is contrary TO nature for n
heifer to have her udder handled be
fore she becomes mother, and the
majority will resent any such famil-
iarity. After they become mothers, on
the contrary. they are quite willing to
be MIXED. and If they are spoiled in
the breaking II is the fault Of the one
who essays to break them.
Handle Her Carefully.
Even the widest heifer may be
tanned after calving by careful han
ding. Go into the pasture or lot where
she is confined after the calf has been
licked dry and has sucked and handle
the calf gently and quietly, and the
heifer will soon learn neither to fear
you nor TO resent your handling the
calf. BY taking the calf where you
wish the heifer to 60 you can get her
any place you wish and after fastening
her firmly you can milk her at your
leisure. So long as the calf is quiet she
will &c.
If the heifer has never been handled
she will naturally be nervous and SEN
sitive. She may even use foot to pre-
vent her udder being handled, but II
the mixer keeps his temper within
bounds and does not fight back the
heifer will soon permit the milk to be
drawn and cease any objections there
to. 1t is the man who hasn't sense TO
know that ii is proper that the hefer
should resent what to her seems an I'M
familiarity and wants TO fight back
that spoils heifers and causes them to
become kickers.
Teaching n heifer to submit TO the
milking process is an easy matter If
gone about properly.

The more finely the meal is ground
the more easily IL will be digested
Then there will be very little loss. This
should never be lost sight OF In the
feeding problem. Cornmeal should be
fed with wheat bran, and linseed meal
should always be added to a fattening
ration.
Humor the Strong Willed Cow.
Some cows are pretty strong willed
and will not give down their milk I'M
Ill they have been fed some knick-
knack; then II will come all right
Such cows are provoking. 1t is better
to humor them than IL Is TO take an
empty pail to the house. These cows
usually give a good mess OF milk when
they get down TO business.
Changes of Food.
Not only does a scarcity OF water
affect the milk flow in cows, but sud
den changes of food often cause the
flow Of milk to decrease. This Is due
to the fact that the cows may not
readily accept the new food and eat
as much of il as Of that TO which they
had been accustomed. Changes OF food
to milk COWS should be made gradual
ly, so as TO allow them to be accus-
toned to it. increasing the allowance

Feeding Pumpkins to Cows.
In reply TO a subscriber who wishes
TO know the value Of feeding cows
pumpkins, seeds and all, the New Eng
land Homestead says:
Based on chemical analysis, pump
kins should have about the same
value as turnips They are not as
highly digestible as the turnips, on
account of the hard shell and the
stringy fiber inside. consider one
Of the best ways to use them is TO
cows producing milk they should have
no injurious effects on account Of the
seeds unless fed in large quantities.
Our grandmothers gave pumpkin seed
tea as n medicine. prizing II for its
tendency to stimulate kidney action.
In the case Of COW producing milk
the feeding Of large amounts of the
seed would probably increase kidney
action unduly. and this would tend to
cxpel food products from the system
before they had accomplished their
work Pumpkins should not be feJ
every day. tut should be aternated
with apples. cabbage. mangcls or SUGAR
