MEANS SUCCESS OR FAILURE.
knowledge In Dairyins Is Of the Most
Vital Importance.

knowledge Is valuable in dairying
to a very great extent, more so than
in some other occupations Of an agri-
cultural nature. The effect of a single
piece of information may make all the
difference there is between success
and failure in dairy operations. This
Is true in the matter of feeds, espe-
cially, for 1t Is very easy for a man to
go on feeding his cows a food that
costs great deal and yet that will
produce less result than a food that
costs less. We had an illustration
of this during the long years when
farmers raised and fed to their COWS
timothy hay rather than clover hay.
Some even went into the markets and
purchased timothy hay at higher
price by so per cent. than they would
have had to pay for sweet, bright
clover hay. This was due to ignor-
ance of the feeding value of the two
kinds of hay, the clover being worth
more ton for ton than the timothy.
Think of the vast sums of money that
have been paid out alone on account
Of this one item.
What is true of the two kinds of hay
Is also true of the concentrated feeds.
There Is a certain prejudice in favor
of certain concentrated feed in each
neighborhood and this is allowed to
dictate the course to be followed
rather than the choice of feeds after
thorough investigation. Many of the
mills are now turning out brans that
are of little value for feeding pur-
poses This is true, too, of the kind
of feed known as Shorts" which in
some cases consist of bran ground
over and over till they are fine. The
man that will inform himself about the
various kinds Of concentrated feeds
will De able to feed intelligently and
that is a good way to save money.
The value of knowledge as to the
capacity of cows is very great. The
man that begins the study of his cows
as to their capacities and the results
they are giving will be able to turn off
his poorest cows and get better ones
in their places. Some of our dairymen
and farmers would be able to make
good profits out of their herds of co-s
If they would do this, while at the
present time they are just about max
ing expenses.

AGE TO BREED HEIFERs.
Time Varies with the Animal and the
Purpose She Is to Serve.

Farmers differ as to the best time
to breed heifers. 1t is probably true,
as whole, that most of our heifers
are bred too young which undoubtedly
decreases their size and efficiency. If
we want all the size possible heifers
should not be bred before they are
10 or 20 months old. If they are
bred younger than this they will
undoubtedly be somewhat stunted and
will never attain the size they would
have had If the CESSATION period had
been delayed until later in life. Dairy
heifers that are milked by hand can
be bred earlier than the beef heifers
for the reason that milking by hand
is not so great a tax on the system as
is the sucking of a vigorous calf.
Then, too, dairy capacity should be
developed as early as possible. To
make the best kind of beef COW a
heifer should not be bred until she
is Is to % months old. OF course
considerable depends upon the size
of the heifer when bred which in turn
depends on the way she has been
raised. Some heifers are too sma:
to breed until they are two years old
because they have not been properly
raised. Then again, says The Farm
er, other heifers which have made the
greatest possible gains in early life
are suitable to breed before the aver
age age. Breeding at an early age
will of course tend to promote prof.
cheney and it will also sometimes tend
on the other hand to weaken the sys.
tenn so that disease is likely Many
cases of habitual abortion are due to
the fact that the heifer was bred be-
fore her system was strong enough to
sustain the strain of pregnancy. 1t
can generally be taken as a safe rule
that we should not breed heifers until
they have the size of a normal 49,
months-old heifer or until they show
by their vigor and health that they are
fit for the duties of maternity.

DAIRY DoINGs.

IA separator is easily washed after
the owner learns how to do it.
Denmark has about 1900 creameries
and they make annually about 100000
tons of butter.
Every intelligent man can make
dairying pay because intelligent meth
eOds always win.
The man that owns separator can
often sell sweet skimmilk to city peo-
pie at a good price.
= So far as is possible avoid metals
about butter. The salt will cause rust
and stain the butter.
Sunshine is a great enemy of bac-
terra. Place the milking utensils in
the sun when not in use.
The feeding of grain or a highly
heterogeneous food is always dangerous
when carried to excess.
The green pasture is healthy place
for the cows, if no diseased animals
are permitted to Craze on it.
One extra good COW will produce
Ebetter results at the end of the year
than three or four poor ones.
Every time dairy cow is abused or
Enlightened her milk and butter ma
s.chinery is thrown out of gear
Fattening old cows for beef is not
generally very profitable operation
and 1t becomes less so as corn goes
higher in price.

sALTING BUTTER.
Even Distribution of Moisture Essen
tiai to the Process.

The following thoughts were sug-
agested to the writer by reading a re-
iport from the Iowa station:
No established rule for sailing but
ter properly can be given. The butter
maker will have to be governed en-
vtirely by local conditions.
The amount of salt to be incorporat-
ed In the butter depends directly on
sthe amount of moisture the butter con-
-tains. Butter fat is not salt dissolv-
ing substance. This can be done only
by the moisture in the butter. The
first thing, then, to get a uniform
amount of dissolved salt in butter is
ito get uniform amount of moisture
The water should be evenly distrib-
ruted through the mass of butter. II
1T is present in pockets or crevices in
the butter when the salt is added,
much salt will be lost in the form of
brine, besides those particles of butter
near the pockets will contain more salt
than those farther away.
Best results are obtained by allow
ing the butter to drain we'll after wash
ing and then apply the salt. In no
case should salt be added till the but
ter has assumed gathered condition.
When the butter is medium soft
after being worked, it has been found
that from three-fourths to an ounce of
ssalt for each pound of butter is not
far from the correct amount.

THE ARMY MULE.
His Faithful Services Should Call
Forth Feeling of Gratitude.

"The thought of the service the
mule rendered in the civil war
ought to endear him to every
lover of our country. The great
hearted Lincoln understood his value.
CA good mule was worth $4OO them
and the good president asked, when
told of the fearful slaughter at Antie-
tam: How many mules were lost?
We can get more men, but the mules
places can't be supplied
"All honor to the mule, for the sake
of his noble qualities, for the sake of
this glorious country which he helped
to save, for the sake Of the 100000
slaves whose shackles he helped to
kick loose, and that have since been
melted into plowshares that he has
patiently drawn all over the south,
pulling along with him the black man
holding to the handles behind-for all
these and other reasons let the mule
stand as our national emblem in place
of the discredited and predatory eagle.
And perish the man who shall attempt
to pull him down-as he certainly will
unless he stands afar OFF,
THE immortal Garfield once said:
I never meet a boy in the street
without feeling like lifting my hat to
him, so great are the wonderful possi-
bilities wrapped up under his ragged
coat
I'm common with millions of others,
feel the same way about the mule.

without raising my hat-if don't he'll

bilities tied up in his wonderfully con-
structed hind legs"
