ANTI-TAIL SWITCHING.

One dairyman writes: II have lately
solved the problem of how to avoid the
switching of the cows tail during
milking. Many remedies have been
suggested, but l have never found
them very successful. Recently l
made a milk stool with special at
tachment which seems to do the bust
ness. | took a piece of old buggy
tire and fastened one end to the milk
stool. The other end supports short
piece of board, and the tire is so bent
as to bring this board up to the left
of the mixer and a short distance from
the cows hip. 1t works perfectly for
me and saves temper and time and
prevents dirty milk, smarting eyes,
soiled clothes and hats more effective
ly than any fly ,repellant that l have

meal or gluten, and find it very profit
able for milk production. Where one
feeds corn and corn fodder and tim
othy hay the animals get into con-
stipated condition, which is not a
healthful condition, nor can best re-
suits be obtained in the milk pail, but
clover hay or alfalfa with some wheat
bran, a little oatmeal or gluten or malt
sprouts, with good corn silage, will
double the productiveness of your
COWS. One of the most expensive
coarse feeds we have today is timothy
hay and yet that is what most people
raise and try to feed.
Writing along the same general line,
1.-The Professor at the Milk Stool has
the following in New York Produce Re-
view and American Creamery:
The time is about come when the
question will be asked very frequently:
Will it pay to feed COWS grain, bran, or
any other concentrated feed? 1t is
a well-known fact that once COWS go
down in their milk through lack of
feed, it is almost impossible to bring
them back again to their normal flow.
There are three ways of supplement-
ing the pasture crop, viz, by the use
Oh soiling or green crops; by feeding
silage made from corn grown last
year; and by the use of meal or other
concentrated feed, such as bran, oil
meal, cottonseed meal, or one of the
many prepared feeds now sold to
dairy farmers. 1t is of the latter
plan that we wish to speak at present
and shall use some of the material
in bulletin No. 100 from the West Vir-
ginia Experiment Station as basis
for our talk.
Three tests were made with twelve
COWS, divided into two lots. One lot
received grain in addition to pasture
and the other had grass only.
In the first test of % days the COWS
produced 352.75 lbs. more milk when
fed grain in addition to pasture, but
they ate 1908 lbs. grain, costing $3.50,
making the total cost of the extra milk
7.6 cents per quart. Unless a high
price were received for the milk, it
is evident that in this case the extra
milk was produced at a loss. In the
second test the results were more I'M
economic, as the extra milk by feeding
grain cost 81 cents per quart. The
third trial resulted in a greater cost
still, or 13 cents per quart for the
extra milk produced by grain feeding.
In the summary, the author says:
"This experiment clearly shows that
there was no direct financial gain in
feeding grain to the COWS while at pas
ture. It is true that the COWS which
received grain were uniformly in some
what better flesh than those that did

PREVENTING MILK sHRINkAeE.

The hot, dry weather we have been
having over the milk producing dis
tricts for the past several weeks has
reduced the milk flow to consider
able extent. Mr. G. IS. Kellogg of
Portage, Maury Island, while calling
at The Ranch office a few days ago,
stated that his record showed de-
cline for the recent weeks of II per
cent over the milk flow of the CORE
spending time one year ago. This is
a large loss, and the fact does not
seem to be a local condition, but is
quite general throughout the county,
Is there any way to overcome it?
In an address before the Indiana
Dairymen's Convention, F. H. Serb
ner of Rosendale, Wis, said:
In all my experience with dairy cows
| never saw a year but what COWS
lacked the necessary feed after the
first of July to keep up a good milk
flow. The wise dairyman has supplied
this, realizing that when COW once
shrinks off in her milk flow it is al
most impossible to bring her back, and
often-yes, too often-the dairyman
failed to recognize it because the milk
sheet did not form part OF his para
phernalia. Little do many realize
that it is only what we feed above
maintenance ration that gives us any
profit.
supplementary feeds should be
grown to provide green forage crop,
coming in rotation after pastures be-
gin to fail at this time of year. Oats
and peas, sowed at the rate of one
bushel of peas to one and one-half
of oats, is not only very valuable as
green food, but should you have some
left over makes very valuable hay
which comes the nearest to taking
the place of clover hay of anything we
can raise.
consider the silo one of the great
est conveniences, not only for produc-
ing a good, succulent feed for winter
use, but an always ready and cheap
feed for summer use. There are only
about two or three weeks when we
first turn out to pasture, but what the
COWS will eat good ration OF good
corn silage twice a day. This also
lightens up on the pasture and makes
that hold out longer.
| hear so many dairymen say that
they 'just won't feed any of those fan
CIV feeds. I'll just feed what | can
raise on my own farm" don't think
such a person realizes that milk can
not be made without protein, and that
very few, if any, are able to raise
balanced ration /on their farms. V1r-
tually we raise enough feed on our
farms for our stock, but we find it
very profitable to exchange some OF

milk yield was concerned the in
creased flow was produced at loss. "
Doubtless the foregoing deduction is
correct for this particular experiment
so far as direct cost of production is
concerned, but the extra condition of
the grain fed cows probably made an
increased yield of milk later on or at
the next lactation which more than Off
set the apparent loss. Many dairymen
follow the plan of giving the cows
some meal all the year, and claim that
they are more than paid for the extra
cost by the improved appearance of
cows and more persistent milk flow.
That this is more than likely to be
the case with the average herd is in
Dictated by an experiment conducted
at the Cornell Station, Ithaca, N. Y,
where a herd of COWS belonging to a
private person was selected for SIM
liar experiment to the foregoing. The
herd was not accustomed to any grain
in summer and very little in winter,
which is the too common lot of "aver-
age" herds in both Canada and the
United States. The herd was divided
into two lots-One of them fed grain
in addition to pasture and the other re-
ceived no grain. The lot fed grain con-
sumed 1900 lbs. wheat bran, 1900
lbs. cottonseed meal and 1000 lbs.
cornmeal. This lot averaged 1874 lbs
milk per COW daily. The other lot
with no grain gave an average of IA
lbs. milk daily. The writer says:
There was constant and we'll
marked increase in the milk yield of
lot one, which received the grain. This
increased milk yield amounted to al
most exactly 5000 lbs. for the eight
COWS during % weeks. The grain cost
about $71.50, making the increased
milk yield cost slightly more than 3
cents per quart. Where milk is re-
tailed at or cents per quart, grain
feeding, as in this case, would be
paying proposition. The lot fed grain
gained on an average So lbs. more in
Qive) weight during the test than did
those without grain"
But this is not the whole story. The
Cornell Station got the record of these
COWS the following season and for six
months the lot which had received
grain the previous year gave 1902 lbs.
more milk per COW than did those
which had not received grain. This
gain represents an increase of 16 per
cent in favor of the grain fed lot
which was in large measure due to
the grain fed during the previous sea-
son. This was more particularly the
case with the younger cows. The writ
er says: at was plainly evident that
the grain fed two-year-olds and three
year-olds developed into better ami
mails than their stablemates having no
grain"
We should strongly advise the feed
ing of from two to four pounds meal
per COW daily during July and August,
believing that it will pay in extra milk
and increased thrift, also be step
in the general improvement of the
dairy herd. This pays either directly

 Washington. Nov. 1s.--Discussing the new issue of s30.000.000 two per cent Panama Canal bonds. bids for which have been asked by the treasury de- partment. Secretary Cortelyou last night stated that the expenses of build ing the canal warranted the issue and the money was needed to pay for the work there.
 This will be the third issue under the Spooner law. which provided for total Issue of S13e. 900. The first issue was for $30.000,000 and the second for $24,000, 900. With the new issue $s4.- 000,O00 of the authorized bonds will have been issued. leaving an available issue of 346.000,000
 The expenditures on account of the canal have exceeded the amount of the bonds thus far issued by about BPS, ,000, 900 but the balance has been paid out Of the current funds of the treasury. The present issue was neces- sitated at this time. 1t is said, because, owing to the deficit, the working cash balance of the treasury has been re- duced to about Sis,o00,000.
 Bids for the bonds will be received by Secretary Cortelyou up to 4:30 o'clock D. m., December 5.
