DAIRY DOTS AND DAsHEs.

Illness corresponds with everyday
conditions and c~onveniences.
A COW SO MIXED that she does not
enjoy the operation will soon retire
from the business Of giving milk.
Generally the failure to make dairy
ing pay is due more to inefficient man
agment than to poor cows.
In purchasing a GOV for butter and
milk do not be carried away by the
breeding Of the animal, but see that
she has individual merit.
The application of elbow grease may
be d~isagreeable. but 1t insures clean
milk. clean separators, clean butter.
and generally q clean reputation.
A gallon Of 80 per cent. cream
weighs about eight pounds and five

1t is better to milk the cows before
feeding them, as they will then keep
more quiet. Besides the dust from

and other things will not get into the

reward for allowing more space and
convenience to each cow.
The cut shows the kind OF stall

rack, a, is Of hardwood 80 inches high.

thrust her nose through up to her
eyes.
The bottom Of the rack is IS inches
wide, extending into the stall toward
the COW. The feed box. b, slides
through an opening in the stall on the
barn floor. 1t can be drawn into the
feedway, cleaned out and a new feed
put In without being disturbed by the
COW.
The halter strap. C, is just long
enough to allow the COW to lie down
comfortably. The gutter, d. is eight
inches lower than the stall floor.
When she lies down she will put her
head under the rack in kneeling and
when she gets up she will move back
ward SO that she al look through the
rack. The length and width of stall
can be made to suit the cows.

AN ESSENTIAL FACTOR.
The Dairy Woman and the Part She
Has Had In Developing the
Dairy Cow.

1t is doubtful IL any Of the valuable
breeds of dairy cows could have been
produced without the help Of women.
That is. these breeds have been
brought to their high state of perfec,
ton because the people that have
had the care Of them for centuries
have been mostly women. The cows
Of the Channel Islands and the cows
of Holland have been under the super
vision Of women for SO long a time
that "the memory OF man runneth not
to the contrary"
Imagine, says Farmers Review.
some of our western cowboys trying
to develop a breed.of dairy cows. Any
dairy breed they might evolve would
have the ability to run q four-minute
gait and to scale fences with little
trouble. The COW naturally partakes
something Of the nature of the one
that has charge of her. Kindness has
made the Dutch COW and the Jersey
COW kind. Hardness would have
made them into animals that few
could milk. Gentleness has made
them of a quiet disposition, inclined
to chew the cud in ~contentment. In ?
feeling Of perfect security. This con
tentment has made the work Of the
mammary glands easy. and great capa-
cities for the production Of milk and
res have been evolved.
The United States is little likely to
have a distinctive breed Of dairy
cows. In the main, ows here
are in the are Of men. especially in
the larger dairy establishments. On
the farms where women milk that 10
the only part they have in dairying.
Men have most Of the care Of the ami
mails.
The dairy woman is best adapted
to take care of the dairy COW. II
more women take up dairying rs an
occupation 1t will be a good thing for
the dairy interests. They appreciate
the value of the ine points in dairy
ing, and the fine points are what reg
ulate the value Of the dairy output.

Alfalfa Seed Testing.

Directions are given by the Texas
station for testing the purity of alfalfa
seed and the weed seeds frequently
found in it, together with seeds some
times used as its adulterants, such as
bur clover and sweet clover, are de-
scribed.
In 1905 the station tested thirty
two samples Of alfalfa seed obtained
from the wholesale houses Of the
State. In these samples thirty differ
ent weed seeds were found. The per-
centage Of sand, trash and broken seed
varied from O to 20 per cent. Testing
the vitality Of the seed Is also describ-
ed. The results secured with the thir-
ty-two samples showed their vitality
or terminating power to vary from
40.5 to 96.5 per cent, the greater num-
Der having vitality of over so per
cent The actual values of the seed
samples in percentages varied from
1916 to 96. The results in detail are
given In table.

Continuous Corn Culture.

In the spring of 1894, at the Rhode
Island experiment station, Professors
G. E. Adams and H. J. Wheeler began
the study of the continuous culture OF
corn on an acre Of soil that is partly
a silt loan and partly a light sandy
loan. In the first two years only chem
ical fertilizers were used, the main
tenance of soil humus being placed
upon the corn stubble remaining upon
the field. The following two years
Lalf of the area was sown with Grim
son clover at the time Of the last cul-
tlvation Of corn and half to rye, In
order to compare the merits of legu-
minous and nonlegumlnous crop as a
means Of maintaining soil humus.
Beginning with 1898, after the ex'
pertinent was in progress four years,
the FIRST quarter Of the acre plat was
sown to crimson clover and the third
quarter to winter rye at the time Of
the last cultivation Of the corn, while
the second and fourth quarter acre re-
ceived no clover crop. In 1899 the
land was lined to secure the success Of
clover.
A summary Of the results during the
twelve years the experiment has been
conducted shows the gain from using
clover as a cover crop, after deducting
the cost Of the seed, was $5O24, or an
average Of S4.19 per acre annually,
compared with S4.2S, or an average Of
30 cents an acre annually from using
rye.
