Goinu Ii Blind.

Why are dairymen so willing to so il
blind? I heard a man say the other
day he did not intend to take time TO
test any COW in his herd until he had
hundred registered cows in milking.
He said he had no time to run the Bah
cock, though he had fine steam one
connected with the boiler / thought
how much money he could save by
wedding as he grows the herd. The
undesirable sire could be spotted at
once when his heifers came in and dis
carded, while the valuable one, the one
that nicked kindly With his strain OF
cattle, could be used more freely.
Numbers in a herd amount to little
had at one time twelve COWS at the
head of the herd that made in a year
6,132 pounds of butter, while at the
foot of the herd it took over nineteen
to equal them in production. These
last nineteen made an average of sos
pounds of butter in q year, so they
were not so awfully poor after ALL

The Pediqree.

When one of my good pedigreed
cows drops me a strong heifer calf,
sired by a pure bred bull, whose sire
was from a good COW and whose dam
was good COW, with many other good
cows lending the glory Of good work
to the pedigree-when l have a royal
calf from such an ancestral line and
feed her well and care for her properly
and breed her wisely, 1 know L can be
almost absolutely sure that she will be
good COW, profitable COW. She will
be a source Of pride to me, fruition
Of my labor, a reward to my intelli-
gence, a proof that 1 have builded
wisely and well. And in a COW thus
bred in the only way in which [ know
it is possible to breed a COW with any
degree Of certainty as to what she
shall be l have such an Astounding
faith that l do not adjudge her as I'M
worthy her breeding and my keeping
until she shall have freshened at least
three times. When you put the right
kind of dairy breeding and knowledge
into the making of a COW you have
legitimate right to bank on the kind Of
cow she shall be.-W. f. McSparran
in Farm and Fireside.

All Danish creamerieS issue rules for
the general treatment and milking of
cows. That concerning milking is in
teresting. At the top of the card are
the words, "Good Advice" beneath
which are q drawing of the udder and
teats Of a COW, with the hand of the
mixer placed in proper position. On
either side of the card are columns
shaded to indicate the percentage of
fat present in the first milk drawn
from the COW and in the last milk
drawn. The rules on the COW are as
follows:
The COW is a living machine. Kindly
treatment entails less labor and gives
more milk. Good work improves the
living machine.
Milk clean. Clean milking develops
the udder and increases the quantity Of
milk, and you receive richer milk. Re
member that the milk last drawn is by
far the most valuable You should
wear tidy and clean clothes. Have the
pail clean as we'll as the creamery can.
Thoroughly clean the udder by rubbing
with a piece of linen. Wash the hands
thoroughly before milking. Let the
udder be quite dry before you begin to
milk.
Milk with dry hands. Seize the teats
with the whole hand. Keep q gentle
pressure on the udder. Milk as fast as
you can, and never cease working until
the milk is wholly drawn. Don't strain
the teat beyond its natural length. Re
member the value of the last drops.
If there be soreness or Jumps in I'D
der or teats, stOppage in milk canal or
unnatural colored milk, don't mix that
milk with any other, and don't send to
the creamery.
Begin milking always at fixed time.
Milk the same cows in the same order.
Regard this excellent work as one Of
honor. Clean the COWS. Have good air
in the stalls. Light should be freely
admitted.

Ve+eh Pasture In SPRING.

In western Oregon and Washington,
where fall sown vetch natures for
hay III June and rains are not infre-
Quent at this season of the year, it is
quite d common practice to pasture 1t
in the early spring-March and April
to keep the growth from becoming so
heavy that it will fall before it is cut
and to retard its development so that
haymaking will occur after the rains
are over. If the crop is heavy and
fails during bad weather, it is best TO
make ensilage of it Immediately.

Best Results Of Various Experiments
With Alfalfa.


In Cheyenne county, Neb., Brott
brothers have been experimenting with
alfalfa nine years, reports a western
man in Orange Judd Farmer. AT first
they sowed alfalfa seed broadcast,
which is the common method under IT.
rigation An experience of nine years
has shown them that broadcast seed
ing does not give the best results in
dry seasons At an elevation Of some
thing more than 4 900 feet there is not
always sufficient moisture during the
driest seasons to perfect a good crop
of seed when grown by the broadcast
method.
Using Two Row Cuitivator.
In the course of their experiments
Brott brothers have tested drilling in
eighteen to twenty-five inch drills.
! They have found that in drills Of this
width the kind of cultivation that can
be given to the alfalfa plant in narrow
rows does not secure the best results.
During the more recent years they
have tested seeding alfalfa for a. seed
crop in drills thirty-six to forty inches
apart This allows the use of a two
row cultivator enabling a man with a
good team on half mile rows to cult
vate eighteen to twenty acres daily.
They find that to secure the best re-
suits In conserving moisture they
should cultivate to the depth of four
inches, cultivating four to five times
during the season.
1t Pods Freely.
On these high table lands alfalfa
drilled in rows thirty-siX to forty inches
apart branches widely, pods freely and
develops a better seed crop than I'M
der any other method so far tested. 1t
is their purpose to cultivate 40 acres
Of alfalfa the coming season and to
enlarge their plant as rapidly as they
can break the prairie and get the land
under cultivation.
The method which they now pursue
is to place fields under cultivation in
the early spring, thus conserving the
winter moisture, then keep the sell
loose and in good filth until the list Of
August and seed with a drill. This
method avoids a weed crop.

Land Plaster on Glover.

In the Willamette valley, Oregon, it
is a common practice to apply land
plaster to clover in the spring during
March and April. From forty to sixty
pounds per acre applied on the surface
Of the ground in the early spring are
said to double the yield of both hay
and seed.

of these two dams is 1906 ounces in

There is no other animal, living or
