WATERING cows.
Care In the Quality Of Water Provided
Is Important.

The best arrangements for the
watering of dairy cows | consider to
be individual basins between the cows
In the winter time and running water
In the summer time. In the winter

is because | do as l have to do and
not as | want to do. Most of the
farmers about here water their cows
out of doors.

water comes from tanks of windmill,
or from hydraulic rams The troughs

which run In front of ALI the cows. |

the individual basins.
Most of the cows about here get
their water at the temperature 1t hap

a COW that Is given water with the
chill taken OF win drink more of II

MILKING CHARACTERISTICS.
How They Can Be Successfully Fixed
by Breeding.

| II is believed that II two AMI
mails OF dissimilar characters are
bred together the offspring win as
sumo the qualities principally Of the
| individual that has dominant char
| acter, but the fixed characteristics OF
either animal are more or less dis
turbed and In succeeding generations
almost any graduation and blending OF
the cross can be expected. AS a mat
ter OF fact, when two animals Of good
milking strain are bred together we
generally get an offspring that Is quite
superior in milk production to either
OF the ancestors However, this can
not be absolutely relied upon but Is
the best way to increase the capacity
for milk production To- perpetuate
the character In succeeding genera
lions this cross may be bred to a
male who has dominant character
for milk production inherited from his
ancestors. II no such strain of ami.
mails Is available II Is wise to breed
this offspring back to its sire In order
to fix this character. For instance. a
bull and cow are mated, both from
different strains. The dam and the
sire's dam have the character to pro-
duce 20 pounds of milk per day well
established, but these strains for
many generations back are not related
to each other The offspring from
this cross may only have capacity
OF 10 pounds, However, it is more
likely to have the capacity to produce
30 poundX. To fix this character in |
generations it would be |
wise to breed this offspring back TO
It's sire, which has but 20 pounds ca.
pacity, while there Is possibility of
slightly reducing the capacity Of the
offspring, yet it fixes the character
and makes 1t more permanent for
'uture generations But If you desire
% run the risk of still greater in
'rease In milk production 1t would be
we'll to breed this COW with capacity
II 80 pounds OF milk per day to a sire
n another strain which has an aver
lge capacity of 30 pounds per day.
[he closer strain Is related the
more permanent and the more reliable
will be the fixing of that character
or all future generations at 30 pounds
apacity.-Prof. Oscar Err.

the PAINTING SEASON.

| Good results In painting at the least
cost depend largely upon the material
chosen. Paint is simple compound
and the ingredients can be easily test
ed. The solid part or pigment should
be White Lead. The liquid part
should be Lnseed Oil. Those best In
formed on painting always buy these
ingredients separately and have their
painter mix them fresh for each job.
Before the mixing the test is made.
Place a pea-sized bit of White Lead
on a piece of charcoal or piece Of
wood. Blow the flame against 1t and
see what 1t will do. II 1t is pure
White Lead, little drops Of bright, pure
metallic lead will appear, and with pa
thence the White Lead can be com
pletely reduced to one globule Of metal
lie lead. This is because pure White
Lead IL made from metallic lead.
You may test dozens Of other So
called White Leads and not be able
to reduce one Of them to lead. II they
will not change wholly to lead but
leave a residue, 1t is clear that some
adulterant Is present.
II you should have your painting
done with such materials, no matter
how cheap they might seem, 1t would
be costly in the end.
National Lead Company, Wood
bridge Building, New York City, are
sending on request blowpipe free to
any one about to have painting done,
so that the White Lead may be test
ed. With 1T will be sent a handsomely
booklet having as it's frontis-
piece the Dutch Boy Painter re-
produced from the original painting.
This little painter has become noted
rs the guaranty of pure White Lead.

interesting story not long ago of a

reprove him, SO suggested kindly that
perhaps his sermons would have as
