A Difference In nnIIs.

But few men appreciate the wonder.
ful difference in bulls. and probably
one OF the greatest hndranccs 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 n dairy
herd than the use Of q strong, vigorous
and prepotent bull which comes from
n family Of good milking cows. Good
animals cost more than scrubs, and
consequently farmers do not thinl,
there Is enough difference in bulls to
pay the extra cost for Il good sire but
here is an expression, says IToard's
Dairyman, from practical breeder:
w. ]. Gillett of Rosedalc Wis. n
prominent Holstein breeder, says
about the purchase OF high priced
bull. 1.-THE hardest battle I ever fought
was years ago to lead myself to pay
the sum of $500 for Il bull calf for use
on our pure bred herd. but | can now
say had l paid $4,000 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"

DAIRY WISDOM

The COW appropriates a 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 it becomes
too old. Cool it 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 a 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.
Slaged fed cows winter better, give
more milk and do better when put on
pasture than others.
If the silage molds and decays on the
top do not begin to worry This seals
up the rest and keeps all that is under
it 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 beeps it from settling around
the outer edge, says Kmballs Dairy
Farmer.
The great principle to be observed III
winter dairying is TO feed economically
as regards cost so as to secure the best
result.

Ropy or stringy milk is caused some

both edges by rich Irish lace in cream

show that corn stover can he used to
replace timothy hay with excellent re
suits and considerable saving of
cost. If grown in Il rotation, timothy
hay should be sold and cora used for
the dairy animals. Pure cottonseed
meal contains larger per cent of di-
gestive protein than gluten meal and
is much richer in fertilizinn qualities.
1t will in most cases prove the best
feed to produce milk and tutter. AS
cottOnseed meal is often aiulterated,
farmers should require guarantee of
AZ to 46 per cent of protelp. Wheat
bran is one of the finest of C'flry feeds,
but it contains only about O"ethird as
much protein as cottonseed meal and
often costs about the sam- per ton:

A Woman olive Grower.

The ripe olive trade OF California If
not actually founded was pioneered
and owes much of its present flourish
ing condition to woman, Mrs f. Eth
mann. Always interested in olive cul-
tyre and preserving, Mrs. Ehmann be-
gan to deal with the fruit commercial
ly eight years ago. Her speciality was
ripe olives, both producing oil and
picking and shipping the ripe olives
themselves. She had experimental
enough to discover superior processes OF
extracting the oil; also of picking ripe
olives. These she considers far better
for the digestion than the crude, hard,
green olives bottled and sold by gro
GERS.
Mrs. Ehmann began her ripe olive en-
terprise in Il smal way financially, but
she knew her business and had undying
determination to succeed in it, The
first year she sold only 200 gallons of
picked ripe olives and oil Now her
trade amounts annually TO 100000 gal
Ions. She Is at the head of Il large
company composed OF members of her
own family. They operate factory
800 feet long, which contains all the
machinery most approved for pickling
olives and extracting oil. Even with
all these facilities the demand for Mrs
Ehmann's products is greater than she
can supply. She is an enthusiast in
her chosen line of work. She tells WIS.,
itors how the dried ripe olive may be
eaten like figs or dates and that 1t will
to considerable extent take the place
of meat, The woman pioneer in the
ripe olive trade is now well to do
