Consider the individuals.

The keeping Of records of dairy cows
may be viewed from two distinct
standpoints-that of the professional
breeder who wishes to sell pure bred
stock on their certified record of per-
Torrance and that Of the ordinary
dairyman who Is selling milk.
From business point of view each
dairy cow may be regarded as a sep
arate department of one undertaking.
It is an elementary principle of sound
business to take means of ascertaining
that each department pays-that is,
that each single Individual cow gives a
return large enough to pay for food,
labor. etc, and leave a margin for
profit. Guessing at the total yield, it
will not avail. Memory is too treach-
erous. The total production of the
milking period must be calculated, so
as to strike a balance with the total
cost Of the twelve months feed and
expense and ascertain the margin-if
any.
There are hundreds Of cows on our
dairy farms that fall to yield an an
nual profit. This is not creditable.
National pride of our reputation as a
dairy country should spur farmers to
Immediate improvement. = KimbalPs

Care Of a Calvlno Cow.

II COW is very heavy mixer and
in high condition, it would be well to
give her light feed for about a week
before freshening, to thin the blood a
little, as preventive OF milk fever.
Keep close watch Of her and put her
in a box stall at night, SO that when
she does calve she may have her free
dom. After calving give her warm
mash Of bran with a handful Of salt
scattered on top. Let the calf suck
and then strip her out and put her
back in her stall. See that she cleans.
Do not give her any cold water until
after she has cleaned. Work her slow
ly on to her feed do not like to
milk a heifer before calving. Let the
calf suck once, and II the heifer takes
kindly to her mixer and gives down
her milk freely she Is just as well off
back in her stall, but If she holds up
her milk and wants her calf let her
have it. Milk her at the same time
of the calf sucking until she takes
kindly to her milker.-C. NJ. Winslow

''Oh, I'd trust them, all right" said

at quitting time, and Ii one OF us gets

The Clean Separator.
A separator allowed to run gummy
or dirty may wear out in a year. If
kept free from dirt and well oiled, it
will last several years. One OF the OBJ
5ections urged against the separator
has been that it would not be proper
" handled and that one or two years.
service would wear the machine out.
Professor E. Fl. Webster, after visit
ing several hundred farms and inspect
Ing as many machines, says that the
farmers, as whole, are taking much
better care Of their separators mechan-
ically than was anticipated. Machines
have been noted that had seen several
years service and were still practical
~ as good as new. In few instances
careless operators had nearly worn a
machine out In less than twelve
months. The farmer never bought
machine before In the use of which
he was so frequently and urgently re-
minded that he must take care of 1t.
Surrounding Of creameries.
There is a movement in some parts
OF the country to improve the appear
ance Of the grounds Of our creameries,
says the Farmers Review. The move
ment should receive public support.
Around some Of the creameries are to
be found unsightly objects that take
all Of the romance out of butter max
ing. Above all things, Danish the
drains that are open to the air and
permit the casein and the other decay
able matter to become source of Of
tense to the nostrils. Around some of
the creameries have appeared flower
beds and grassy lawns. The effect of
these is to indirectly improve the con-
ditions under which the milk is made
and brought to the creameries.

FEEDING FOR MILK

Only the amount of food in excess
of that which is necessary to maintain
animal heat and repair the waste Of
the animal tissue can possibly be a
source of profit; hence the more a cow
can be induced to eat above this
amount within safe limits the larger
profits she should return in the total
amount of food consumed
Feeding siIage to Cows.
In writing of the value of the silo in
the National Stockman and Farmer o
New York dairyman says:
About thirty or at most forty pounds
q day Of silage is as much as should
be fed to each cow II the feeding
commences Immediately after filling
the silo, and this is good way to do,
there will lie no damaged silage at all.
My way to feed the silage ration is in
two feeds, night and morning, and it
Is better to feed after milking, because
the peculiar odor of the silage might
affect the flavor of the milk.
It Pays to Feed Well.
To be successful at dairying we
should know that COW is machine
and that we will get out Of her just in
proportion as we put in, writes c. L.
Hunt in American Agriculturist We
would not think of taking pumpkins to
the mill for cider, neither should we ex-
pect to get milk from COW fed on
timothy hay Or corn fodder alone. Nor
should we expect profit from cows
when they are fed barely mainte-
nance ration. The profit must come
from the excess Of feed above that
used to maintain life. How foolish,
then, to withhold the little extra, that
which pays for all the feed used. Is it
not much better to feed a ration cost.
Ing say S. per month and produce $40
worth Of milk than to use one costing
only $3.50 and get no returns?
Value Of Salt.
Salt Is a very important item In the
dietary of a cow, and many people
are very careless and negligent about
feeding it. Salt is constituent of the
body and like all other constituents
must be replaced through the channels
Of nutrition, but salt has other func-
tons besides forming a small part of
the organized body. Salt accelerates
the assimilation of food, especially ia
cilitatlng the passage of the albumi-
noids of the food from the digestive
canal into the blood and facilitating
the circulation, thus increasing the en-
ergy of the vital processes.
Roots as Feed,
In arranging the plots and fields for
crops this summer do not forget to
plant an acre or two of roots for the
dairy COW. Such roots as the so called
Cow beets," mangels, turnips and
even potatoes make an acceptable
change from the more concentrated
feeds during the winter Most Of these
roots need not be planted till after the
corn Is In. OF course none Of the roots
are rich In food elements, since they
are composed largely Of water, but that
Is where their value lies They serve
as balance to the concentrated feeds.
Enough can be raised upon an acre or
two to provide an abundance for sew
eral dairy cows.

SUCCESSFUL DAIRYING.

Rules 10 Observe In the Production
of Cream.
The Oklahoma experiment station has
issued the following suggestions to
dairymen as guide for the production
of cream of good quality:
Clean cream, cold cream and rich
cream are the three words which tell
the secret Of producing sweet cream.
Be clean and sanitary in milking.
Have all pals, crooks. cans and dairy
utensils scalded and clean.
Keep the separator clean by washing
after each separating.
Cool each lot Of cream in cold water
before setting 1t away, and have it
thoroughly cooled before adding to the
general lot of cream. a good way is
never to mix fresh batch of cream
with older cream, but keep each lot
from the different separatings separate
and in one gallon crooks.
Have a well ventilated cave or cool
cellar in which to keep the cream.
Stir each of the separate lots Of
cream every day to keep them uniform
Have a wire screen for each crock
so as to "air the cream" and keep out
flies and insects.
Deliver the cream to the Creamery or
receiving station three times a week
In summer and twice week In winter
Insist on the creamery man weighing
out the sample of cream for a test In
stead of measuring In pipette. The
scales are more accurate.
Have the cows come fresh in Septem-
Der and October and receive % to 80
cents a pound for the butter fat In win
ter instead Of Is to 20 cents pound In
summer.
