DAIRY MATTERS.

The home market for American
dairy products is so great that we
need not worry about the foreign out
let for dairy products. ,
The dairy COW on the farm needs
improving still more than the dairy
COW. in the barn of the professional
dairyman.
Green stuffs should be grown for
helping the COWS over the dry time Of
summer
Plan to raise good bunch of heller
calves this year. Look ahead, two or
three years to see where the price
of COWS is likely to be. The high
price of feed last fall sent more. than
the usual number of COWS and heifers
to the block, and it will cost good
money to replace them.
When cows are kept in the stable
continuously, as in stormy weather, it
should be cleaned often enough. to
keep as free as possible from manurial
Odors.

CoIorjno Butter

Some folks object to coloring butter,
but If the average butter were sent to
market without little coloring. it
would not find a sale at half it's value,
no matter how perfect it might be in
other respects. Butter should be col.
ored to suit the person, or the market,
for which it is intended. In no case
however, should it be given a deeper
color than is given it when the cow is
on grass, supplemented with enough
grains and concentrates to properly
balance the ration.

STOCK TALK,

Skim milk is good for lambs.
The farmers are not yet fully awake
to the value of good COW. ....:-.
Feeding high-priced stuff and mar
keting at loss Is an Improbable
proposition.
The young pig needs bone and mus.
Gle developing foods. both before and
after it is born.
Z The time will come when farm.
made butter will sell for as good a
price as any other kind of butter.
& Keeping the hogs clean will not al
ways keep away cholera, but it has a
strong tendency in that direction.
Do not turn stock into the meadows
when they are wet, as the tramping
is very injurious at that time.
Mower County transcript., 1908-06-03
Try This Plan.

Rather than feed all corn to stock
on which you want to produce growth,
you had better sell corn and buy
wheat bran, middlings, oil meal or any
other feed high in protein that can ba
had at right kind of prices and mix
with your corn. I know it is a COM
mon practice among some farmers to
finish their hogs for the market on
an exclusive corn ration. livery much
doubt the wisdom of this method. I
do not believe there is period in
hogs life when variety of feed will
not be productive Of better results
than an exclusive corn ration.
Mower County transcript., 1908-06-03
KEEP STOCK IN CONDITION,
No Time Of Year When They Should
-. Be Let Run Down.

When? Right now-to-day and to-
morrow and all the time till it comes
time to let the cattle out to pasture.
Sometimes we may get little care
less about this. So many men say:
-'"What hurt does 1t do, to let the cows
go with scant rations for few weeks
In winter? By-and-by they VIII 60 out
to pasture and then they can gain up
again. 1t will not cost so much to
get them in good flesh then as it
would now, and feed costs so in win
teri"
Of course feed costs. That is
foregone conclusion. If we keep
stock, however, ought we not to be
prepared to do the fair thing by it:
There are some of the best reasons
why, from our own standpoint, we
should do this. One of these is, that
If we turn the cattle out in spring
poor and weak it will take so long
to get them up in good shape to do
their best that We shall lose more
than we shall gain by scrimping now
We are learning that cattle are sure
to take the feed we give them if they
are lean and in poor rig and lay it on
their backs, first of all; then after
they are in good condition they will
apply the surplus to the milk-pail 1t
Is always the surplus that we get.
And there will be no surplus if we
keep our COWS just on the verge Of
hunger.
The Farmers Voice we'll says that it
is the COW which has been kept well
? that puts the money in our pockets:
Cows poorly treated are our farm
charges, to be maintained at the cost
OF what the best cows do. There
should be no such charges; every COW
should be producer.

when the gate is not in use it swings
around and fastens to the large door

For material in making the gate we
