But few men appreciate the wonder
ful difference in bulls, and probably
one Of the greatest hindrances to the
development Of good dairy herd Is
the Indifference which is paid to the
selection Of n sire. There is no surer
or quicker way of building up dairy
herd than the use Of strong, vigorous
and prepotent bull which comes from
family of good milking cows. Good
animals cost more than scrubs, and
consequently farmers do not think
there Is enough difference in bulls to
pay the extra cost for good sire, but
here is an expression, says Hoard's
Dairyman, from practical breeder:
w. j. Gillett Of Rosedale, Wis, a
prominent Holstein breeder, says
about the purchase Of high priced
bull: "The hardest battle ever fought
was years ago to lead myself to pay
the sum of $500 for a bull calf for use
on our pure bred herd. but can now
say had I paid $1,000 for this same
sire the sum would not have equaled
his worth or been commensurate in
value to the great dairy characteristics
he stamped upon his offspring"

HOW WATER ACTS.

Its Expansion and Contraction and
Its Solvent Powers.
Water contracts as 1t falls from the
normal boiling point, 212 degrees, un-
til 1t reaches 80 degrees. Below that
degree 1t expands, and at 80 degrees,
the freezing point. it will expand
enough to burst pipes and vessels hold
ing 1t.
When the pressure Of the air Is be-
low normal, water boils at lower tenn
perature than 212 degrees. This Is no
tced before a rain, when the barometer
shows by falling mercury decreas-
cd air pressure. This also explains
why water boils away more rapidly,
quickly or at lower temperature In
the mountains, where the pressure of
the air Is less than on the seacoast or
In the valleys. If sugar or salt is add
ed to water the temperature of the
boiling point Ii raised a few degrees.
As rule, as water Is heated 1t will
hold greater amount Of substance
In solution. A familiar exception Is
the fact that ice water will dissolve
twice as much lime as boiling water.
At the other extreme boiling water
will dissolve seventeen times as much
saltpeter as will cold water. But wa
ter varies In Its solvent powers regard
less Of heat One pound Of water will
hold two pounds of sugar in solution,
but only two ounces Of common salt.

DAIRY WISDOM

The COW appropriates certain
amount of food to sustain life. What
you give her above this is clear profit.
Quick fattening makes tender meat.
Let it help out with the old cows.
Round up all the poor cows for the
butcher.
The cow that tests less than 3 per
cent butter fat had better be sold.
Deliver the cream before 1t becomes
too old. Cool 1t promptly and use great
care In milking and cleaning the sepa-
ratOr. Then your creameryman will
have no objection to the hand separa-
tor.
Burn the rag you used to wash the
milk utensils with. Then use brush.
There is much In breed. but more In
care and feeding.
To make your dairy pay better study
how to produce milk at less cost.
Silaged fed cows winter better, give
more milk and do better when put on
pasture than others.
II the silage molds and decays on the
top do not begin to worry. This seals
up the rest and keeps all that Is under
1t In prime condition.
Pack the silage well at the sides.
The middle will settle of its own
weight, but the contact with the sides
of the silo keeps 1t from settling around
the outer edge, says Kimbalrs Dairy
Farmer.
The great principle to be observed In
winter dairying is to feed economically
as regards cost SO as to secure the best
result.
Dutch Belted cattle may be regarded
as strictly dairy cattle, but l have
found that they make good beef owing
to their size and easy keeping quail
ties.--F. X. Sanders, New Hampshire.
A good Woodworking COW should have
sixty days rest before starting the
fresh period. Many cows will keep up
good flow until very few days be-
fore calving, but 1t is a poor plan to
let them do this. The most persistent
mixers are the ones who will do this,
and they are just the cows which need
a good long rest. They will more than
make up for lost time when they
freshen.
Ropy or stringy milk Is caused some
times by stagnant water. The cows
are permitted to stand in water holes,
and this gets the old water and mud
on their hind legs. When they lie
down their udders come in contact
with this mud and trouble followa

Investigation Of the capacity of hens
to lay eggs results In the discovery
that the egg production Of hens de-
creases considerably after the age Of
four years. Thus a hen lays at the
age Of one year about 20 eggs; at the
age Of two years, about 100; at the
age of three years, about 1856; at the
age Of four years, about lis; at the
age Of five years. about 80, and at the
age Of six years. about 60. These fig-
ures go to show that hens should never
be kept In the poultry yard more than
four years, for after the lapse Of this
time they do not yield proper return
ON the food they consume.

marKeu raining on unul AFTER ten years
Of age. Many excellent records have
been made by cows older than this.
The quality Of the milk produced by
heifers IL somewhat better than that
OF older cows, for a decrease has been
noted Of one-tenth to two-tenths of l
per cent In the average fat content for
each year until the cows have reached
the full age This Is caused by the in
crease In the weight Of the cows with
advancing age. At any rate. there
seems to be parallelism between the
two sets Of figures for the same COWS.
Young animals use a portion Of their
food for the formation Of body tissue.
and it IL to be expected, therefore, that
heifers will require larger portion Of
nutrients for the production Of milk or
butter fat than do other cows. After
a certain age has been reached, on the
average seven years of age. the food
required for the production of unit
OF milk or butter fat again increases,
both AZ regards dry matter and the
digestible components of the food.
A good milk COW Of exceptional
strength kept under favorable condi-
lions. whose digestive system has not
been impaired by overlooking or
crowding for high results, should con-
tinue to be profitable producer till
her twelfth year, although the econ
omy Of her production is apt to be
somewhat reduced before this age is
reached.

Years ago the old fashioned stanchion
was considered the ideal fastening for
q COW. Then followed q number Of
other devices, all calculated to hold the
cows securely. but none Of them in
tended to give freedom Of movement.
Beyond doubt the ideal fastening for
cow is the one which permits her to
move her head in any direction at will,
with a fastening sufficiently long SO
that she may lie down or step around
little. OF course 1t will not do to
give her rope enough SO that she will
get herself In trouble or get other COWS
In trouble. Arrange the feed, both
the grain and the roughage, SO that
she can reach it readily. yet not SO she
can get at and trample it underfoot.
Any sort Of arrangement which will
enable the cow to live In the manner
described IL ideal, says Denver Field
and Farm. whether 1t Is a box stall
Of black walnut or fence stall with
stout rope.

Treatment.
1t Is too often the case with many
farmers or dairymen that they keep
their cows, regardless OF their produc-
.ng capacity, till they are old before
they replace them with others. A cow
should be. as 1t were. n trial. And her
owner should be exacting enough to de-
mand large returns from good feed and
treatment. Every generation Of cows
can for many years yet be made an
Improvement on their dams. Then the
more rapidly one generation Of cows Is
made to replace another the more rap
idly will the herd improve In producing
capacity II the proper care is exercised
In breeding 1t Is possible to have all
cows In the herd approach and even
equal the best COW in the amount and
quality OF milk given. A little ambition
and enterprise ON the part Of dairymen
should soon bring this about.
Reducing the Herd.
Our pasture fields and feed supply
should be used to their full capacity.
When COW on account of some acct
dent or for some other unforeseen
cause does not give sufficient milk to
make 1t profitable to keep her, there
should be heifers ready to take her
place. 1t is good plan to raise a Ger
tain number of heifers each year, and
II no vacancies should occur In the
ranks of the older cows then create
some vacancies by selling the least pro-
1uctive ones. A farmer must see to It
chat his herd is reduced In numbers.
With improvements in methods, Of
growing and handling the farm crops,
the farmer is easily enabled also to en-
large his dairy herd. To renew the
herd is the only way to keep 1t DOS
sessed Of vitality and thrift with capa-
bility or capacity for large productions.
We should make a sort of civil serv-

These are directions of Professor
Dean as presented in the Canadian
Dairyman:
Clean the pals. cans and separator
daily or twice daily.
Cool cream to 90 degrees by the use
Of ice or cold water.
Have rich cream, testing not less
than Is to 30 per cent fat.
Fresh cream should not be added
to older cream until after 1t Is cooled
to 90 degrees.
Proper weighing, measuring and sam
pling are essential for satisfaction
among the patrons.
Cream should be pasteurized and
cooled at the creamery, especially in
the fall and winter, to remove objec-
tionable favors and to add keeping
quality to the butter.
Cooperation on the part Of the driv-
era, patrons and creamerymen Is neces-
sary In order to improve the quality Of
the cream end butter.

STATE EXAMINER RAY SAYS THEY
HAVE BIG RESERVES
EVERY REASON FOR CONFIDENCE
Law Requires ais Percent Reserve
While Both Banks Have More
Than SO Percent.

Assistant State Examiners F. H.
Ray and T. E. Collins, Jr., arrived
Saturday and have devoted the past
three days to conducting the annual
examination of the banks and county
offices required by law. They found
things in a very satisfactory condition
here and left for Helena this morning
Speaking Of the conditi,r of the To-
cal banks yesterday to representa-
tive of The Western News, Mr Ray
said: II have been informed that
some apprehensive depositors have
withdrawn their norev, aud desire to
state that there is absolutely no reason
for fear by any depositor; on the con-
trary there are many reasons for full
confidence in both your banks. The
regular annual examination of each
has just been completed, and I find
that not only is their solvency beyond
question, but each has more than
twice the legal reserve required by
any national or state bank. Both the
national and state laws reuiqre re-
serve equal to Is percent of deposits,
except that certain banks which have
been designated as "reserve agents.
shall keep Is percent reserves. Each
of the Hamilton banks has more than
so percent reserve
"They are conservatively ma naged
and able to meet demands, but have
wisely declined to pay out currency
freely because of the difficulty of OBJ
tanning currency from the eastern
banks, and also to guard against
boarding by frightened people.
eff there be depositors who contem-
plate withdrawing more money than
is needed for immediate use, they
should remember that such a pro-
cedure is against the best interest of
themselves and this community.
