Dairy Wisdom In Brief

Excitement or noise among the
cows Is costly. Cows are nervous an
imals, and they resent any noisy inter-
ference,
Do not forget the salt Do not mix
1t with the grain ration either. The
cows like it straight.
If You guess about your cows, you
will guess. about your profits-and
guess wrong.
Don't forget that the calf of today
will be the money maker or the money
loser tomorrow.
Feed the farm by the way of the
good COW. Feed her right, and she
will feed the land and everybody on It.
If the calf is hand fed, the milk
should be given it at blood heat. Cold
milk is likely to cause indigestion,
scours and kindred calf ailments. II
too hot, the milk will scald the calf's
mouth and interfere with the eating.
Selection and breeding go together in
building up the dairy herd.
A sore teat (the sore may be inside)
will cause a cow to kick, but IL han
died gently she will be quiet and kind
when cured.
Have scales in the stable and weigh
each milking. Get the milk tested and
raise calves for dairying from calves
thus tested.
Fewer cows are injured by high
feeding than by unbalanced feeding.
A clean COW and a clean stable go
with clean milk, good butter and clean
cash.
The best way to bring cream to the
proper temperature is by putting the
cream can into pail or tank Of very
warm water Stir gently until the
cream is Of the proper temperature.
In some cases, where cows have been
milking for long time, there Is some
difficulty in churning. The addition Of
one or two fresh cows n the milking
herd will often overcome the difficulty
We cannot all buy pure breds, but
we can improve the herds we alread
own, and ten years Of systema'
breeding will nearly double the valu
Of the American COW.
Did you know that il your fingel
nails get too long some cows will e
you know 1t by squirming about wheI
you are milking and maybe by upset
ting things. Take time to trim youl
nails once in awhile.

Very Useful.

Hes very good horse, but thin"
remarked the dealer who was trying
to sell the animal. II sometimes have
to tie knot in his tail to prevent him
from slipping through his collar. But
that's no matter. Occasionally. too,
have to hang sack over him to keep
the hay inside of him from getting sun
burned. He's good horse. but thin.
My wife and her mother took him for
drive the other day, and they fool
ishly let him trot. When he trotted
the rafting of his bones so startled
him that he bolted, pitched my wife
and mother-in-law out and killed the
old woman. Oh, he's good horse il
thin. but he's very useful. Liverpool

BEST DAIRY CROP.
Grass Should Figure Largely, but Not
Wholly, Says Gilbert.


All grass, or nearly so, is considered
by many to be the correct crop for
dairying. Certainly grass should figure
largely, but farms wholly grass are not
the most economical. a not uncommon
idea is that as long as COW gets plen-
ty of grass in summer and hay in win
ter that is all, or nearly all, that Is
needed, but experience soon shows
that such is not sufficient. My own
idea Of cropping dairy farm is three
parts grass and one part alfalfa, roots
and grain, and If had to alter this
should be more inclined to increase the
arabic rather than reduce 1t. writes W.
r. Gilbert in American 'Cultivator.
Some depend good deal upon buy.
ing meal, ETC., for feeding the cows,
growing good deal Of grain for sale
and utilizing the straw. cannot say
that like this way. Grain growing is
not SO profitable as milk producing,
and the successful dairy farmer gives
all his first consideration to his cows,
and grain growing is secondary mat
ter. No well doing dairy farm can be
carried on without winter supply of
roots or ensilage and straw All ought
to be produced on the farm. They can
be so obtained more cheaply than If
bought, and It is much more profitable
to feed them than to sell. Indeed, the
greatest economy and the highest prof

home consurnntion
Best Hay For the Cows.
Cows should have the best hay, SC
that 1t is false economy to sell the hay
because it may happen to fetch a big
price and feed with second rate stuff
That grass and hay are indispensable
| to rural dairying Is quite clear, but Sc
are also mangels and straw, while al
falfa, cabbage and other things are q
decided advantage. I mention alfalfa
presuming that it is not included IL
| the grass, which it should be.
| A good patch Of cabbage Is most use
/ full as the grass declines in the fail
and a quantity of kohlrabi to succeed
| these and to use before the mangel /;
| These later are an important crop OF
| all dairy farms. Indeed, they are vel
nigh Indispensable, and to keep LAND
in grass an buy mangels would be {
| profitless absurdity. The roots should
be home grown and abundant. TIL,
growth Of oats in grains might be fa
vored, as crushed oats are capita
milking food, and, as substitute fol
hay. oat straw is good feed. Oat!
should therefore be grown on all dair,
farms. If not needed as food, tn,
/ straw is as valuable as any other TO
! manure making and bedding.
Clover and rye grasses are less use
full than meadow hay Tares ant
vetches are excellent for late sprin,
and early summer feed and should
occupy more or less space on ever,

Her References.

Not long ago. Philadelphia lady
was suddenly deserted by the cook
and advertised for another. stipulat-
ing that applicants must furnish good
references \ middle aged colorel wo-
man was among those who sought the
place, and when asked for her refer
ences she said, "'Deed, Ah done tore
up dem references, lady" Don't you
know" the lady asked, "that if you
don't bring any references with you
people will suspect that you are not a
good servant? l am surprised that
you should destroy the references a
former employer was kind enough to
give you'' "Yassum; maybe dat's 50"

The Head Of the Herd.

The selection of an animal to head
the herd is a matter of the greatest
er who has made his herd and knows
the strong and weak points of his
animals we give no advice A man
who has sufficient skill to breed a
herd of females to uniformity knows
better than any one else their weak
ness which he wishes to correct. He
also knows how to select a mate for
them which is strong where they are
weak, but he has to take the chances
of that mate transmitting the desired
improvement without interfering with
the good qualities already prevailing
IN the herd.

Buying New Feeds,

The buyer should be very cautious
concerning new feeds and should ascer.
tain their feeding value before purchas
ing. The addition of cheap filler t.
standard feeds is getting to be alto.
gether too common practice. A
dairyman should keep his eyes opell
and mental faculties on the alert, other
wise he is likely to pay $50 for $2(
worth of nutriments and have onl
himself to blame for the bad invest

A Holsteln's Great Record.

The Nebraska Agricultural college re-
ports the work of the Holstein Katy
Gerben, which has lately made Il new
yearly record of milk production over
any COW of any breed classel as Il
three-year-old She was calyed Dec. Z.
1902, and dropped her first calf Dec.
90, 1904 In ten months she produced
39J.45 pounds of butter. She came
fresh again Jan. 13, 1906, and in 365
days produced 1885 pounds of butter.
She gained during the year 1G8 pounds
in live weight Katy is now four years
and two months old and has to her
credit one two-year-old heifer, which
has been fresh three months and is
producing ten pounds of butter per
week; also another yearling heifer,
which will be fresh in August. 1867.
Katy has produced in two years %
541 pounds of milk and 1.1i9.3 pounds
Of butter. Katy Gerben's net earnings
last year were S156.17, the total food
cost being S71.43, while the value of
whole and skim milk produced was
