is SHE DOING Her eEsr7
Some Suggestions Regarding the Profit
Of Your Cow.

The man who is milking cows for
the purpose Of making money should
remember that If he wants to know
what his COWS are doing all he needs
to do is to use the Babcock test and
the scales. But remember this: That
the Babcock test and the scales tell
what the COW is doing but not what
she might do under improved care and
with better feeding. Careful scientific
investigations show that the percent
age of fat in the milk cannot be
changed materially by any system of
feeding or care but the total guam
tity of fat produced can be increased
very materially by improved care and
better feeding. In other words, the
total flow of milk can be increased,
and that means the total amount of
fat increased. Many a good COW does
not have fair chance to show what
she can do. Several OF our different
experiment stations have purchased
cows which were improbable under
the conditions in which they found
them, but which responded very quick
ly to improved feed and care. II you
are not making the money you should
out of your cows by all means get a
Babcock test and pair Of scales and
go to studying the individual cows. At
the same time go to studying how to
feed them better and give them better
care. Improved cows are not much
good without improved dairymen.

SUMNER Gaze OF FLOCK.
Things the Successful Raiser viii Be
Sure to Remember.

In the first place the entire flock
should be thoroughly dipped in one OF
the good commercial dips, which are
both cheap and effective. then find
it profitable to separate the barren
ewes and any that have lost their
lambs, writes an Indiana farmer in
Farm and Home. These l put on
clover or blue grass pasture and feed
corn, either shelled or on the cob.
l have had good results feeding
them along with fattening hogs, thus
saving an extra pasture. Handled
rightly these ewes will be in fine shape
for market by June Is, which time
usually finds one of the best markets
for the year.
For the ewes and lambs to be car
ried over two or three pastures should
be provided, SO that change can be
made every two or three weeks. l do
not think a pasture can profitably be
made large enough to run flock of
sheep the entire season, with best re-
suits, especially if it has been used for
number of years.
During hot weather the sheep will
bunch closely in the shade and return
to the same spot often during the day,
thus getting such spots dusty and I'M
fit for the sheep. BY changing from
one pasture to another we have fresh
grass and fresh resting places, since
these places have been disinfected by
sun and rain.
| think 1t profitable to run other
stock in these pastures beside the
sheep, such as COWS and calves, or
yearling cattle. These animals keep
down the rank grasses, and the sheep
will thrive better on short grass. If
blue grass or timothy becomes long
and rank sheep will not eat it well and
will lose in flesh. Such is not the
case with clover or rape, however.
Free access to salt which is damp
ened with turpentine during the dry
season is good thing. The odor of
the turpentine keeps the flies from
their noses and heads and destroys
some of the internal parasites.
l have found sheep to be the most
profitable live stock that can be kept
on the farm. Mutton can be produced
in this locality at a lower cost per
pound than beef. taking no account of
the wool, which itself makes a nice
profit. During the past few years the
price has ranged from % to "a cents
per pound for medium wool.

Feeding Alfalfa to Hons.

Alfalfa hay is good feed for hogs,
but 1t must be fed in a way that will
prevent 1t from being wasted. The
Wyoming station has developed q
feeding arrangement that is worth
copying wherever alfalfa can be raised
1t consists Of box which can be made
any size to suit convenience. The
dimensions Of the box illustrated in a
bulletin q the station are not given,
but we should judge 1t to be about
two feet high, two feet wide and
eight feet long. 1t has a cover that
shuts down over 1t when 1t is filled
with alfalfa In the sides of the box
are three holes large enough for the
hogs to get their heads through to get
at the alfalfa. The apertures are large
enough to allow part of the neck to
pass in. SO the animals can reach
across the box. The cover not only
keeps the hogs out, but would keep
out the rain in a humid climate.
