THE AGE OF LIMIT.
Good Dairy Cow Brings Profit UP to
Twelve Years of Age.

Good dairy cows should not be COS
lerized" until they are at least ~
years old, and even after they have
reached that age some continue to
produce large quantity of milk. The
production of milk depends largely on
the care that is taken of the animal
and her natural strength. Expert
ments have proven that the produc-
ton of milk and butter fat constantly
increases until COW is six years of
age, when she should be at her prime
as mixer. Heifers produce some
what better quality of milk than older
cows, for the reason that as COW be,
comes older she takes on weight, and
the amount of fat in the milk is cor.
respondingly decreased A consider.
able portion of food is used by young
animals for the formation of body
tissue, and <heifers therefore require
more nutriment for the production of
milk than the older COWS, says the
Journal of Agriculture. After cows
have reached the age of seven years
the amount of food required again in
creases. Unless the animals digestive
organs have become impaired by i'm
proper feeding, she should continue
to produce milk until IL years old,
although naturally the supply will be
considerably less than in her younger
days.

FEED IMPORTANT.
4 Question Which Must Receive The
Thoughtful Care Of the Dairyman. :

Nova word about feed This is
subject to which you will have to give
special and careful attention. You
must not only look to the needs OF
your cattle, but you must endeavor to
get their rations as nearly as possible
from the products of your own farm.
Economy is one of your watchwords.
But you must make it study and it
will take you several years, says q
writer in Holstein-Friesian Register.
Look first to the needs of your
COWS, and next to the cost of the feed.
Your heifer calves should be fed
sweet skim milk for about six months,
and you can mix with it little corn
meal and oil meal, or these can be
fed separately. After six months, il
on good pasture, they will require no
feed; but as fall comes On they
should not be allowed to run down
and become poor before winter feed

slst OF bran, shorts, oil meal, ETC.,

her first calf you should begin feed
ing her a mixture of food rich in pro-
tein. Do not overfeed her, but grad
ually increase the feed until by the
time she drops her calf she will be
getting about all she wants to eat.
You will find that She has made
very large udder and will start OF
with very large flow of milk

lightly, gradually increasing, and you
will find her responding we'll to your
attention. Keep her in milk for ten to
IL months There is no danger from
milk fever with the first calf, but from
then on, and especially with the third
and fourth calves, you cannot feed so
heavily before calying, neither will
she require it; for by this time the
habit of milk-giving will have been

FEEDING FOR MILK.
Why One Man Went Into the Dairy
1890 Business.

=. The first principle that caused me
to engage in dairying was the fact
that the same crops that cause a cow
to give large flow of milk supplies
our soil with the most expensive IL
gradients in fertilizer, writes cor
respondent of Farmers Guide The
second bent in my dairy business was
that often raising a legume crop we
could, by feeding it to dairy cattle,
extract all the milk and butter and
yet return 80 per cent of its fertiliz-
ing ingredients to the soil, and that
in it's most available form Ga ton of
butter carrying away only about so
cents worth Of plant food. The third
reason for turning to dairying was
that when properly used with other
feeds, skinned milk would produce
young dairy stock of the highest pos
sible dairy value, even better than
whole milk. = = =, -.
: The three, prime factors on the
dairyman's bill of fare are alfalfa,
corn silage and blue grass, and you
need little other feed if you have
plenty of these. II had any other ad-
vice. I would say, have plenty of al
falfa, as it is the best soiling crop
ever grown.

Combs OF Honeybees.

Honeybees are generally credited
with instructive skill in making the
cells of the comb hexagonal in shape,
but it is probable that this construc-
ton is merely the ordinary result of
mechanical laws. Solitary bees al
ways make circular cells, and the
bees in a hive no doubt make them
circular also, but mechanical pressure
forces them into a hexagonal form. A
wellknown naturalist, in speaking of
the matter, says that all cylinders
made of soft, pliable substances. be-
come hexagonal under such circum-
stances. ~''~. q /.

Cement Floor for Dairy Barns.

If there is anything on earth that
smells to heaven, it is the average
stable floor. The COW has to sleeD
there, breathe there and be MIXED
there. That floor should be kept tidy,
clean and dry. It can never be kept
tidy with a plank floor. 1 am thor

the cow stable, writes a farmer in
Farm and Home. Some men have
said to me that a stone floor is too
cold, but put plenty of bedding on
It; that gets over that difficulty. Then.
some one said it is slippery. Well;
before the cement is dry, take a
rake and rake it all up and make it
as rough as a hedge fence, and then
the cows will not slip.
