IMPROVING DAIRY HERDS.
Many Theories as TO Whs; Are the
Best Methods.

There are as many theories as to-
the breeding Of dairy cattle as there
are different breeds u cattle. Where
one succeeds another fails and results
are often found to be contradictory
No problem in the live stock industry
IS more perpleXing to the breeder.
With thousands Of babies being fed
upon milk It is essential that only the
best should be supplied. and this sup
ply can only be obtained from the best
breeds Of dairy cattle.
Mr. L. p. Bailey, president Cf the
Ohio state board Of agriculture. saw
In speaking OF improving the dairy
herd:
My experience teaches me there
arc two ways By which a breeder can
improve his herd. First, he must have
in mind his individual ideal type
which he should always aim TO attain:
this can only be done by selection and
roper mating Of both sire and dam
In selecting a sire for my herd, insist
on seeing personally the dam. She
must be Of dairy form, according tC
my own idea-teats above medium
size, udder running well forward and
straight down behind. extending Oul
past the curve in ham or legs. The
above conformation Is Of greater value
to me than any great phenomenal mill
test she may or may not have made;
also insist on seeing the ancestors at
far back as possible and knowing tC
a certainty, as near as possible, that
they are merltorious animals be
lieve there is no rale in breeding bet
ter established than that like produces
like, yet we all know that even with
the best Of mating we sometimes get
inferior animals. This is mostly caused
by some inferior ancestor, perhaps
several generations back.
Never allow the calf 10 get fat in
the sense that the beef breeder would
desire. Keep 1t IN good thrifty, grow
ing condition, teach It to eat a maxi
mum amount of roughness, such az
clover hay and silage, and minimum
amount Of grain. Continue this meth.
cd until within three or four months
Of cowhocd, then feed proper concen
trates literally so as to develop the
milk secreting organs for service after
the birth of the calf. ! prefer the
heifer being about 80 months old be
fore coming into milk. With proper
kind of feed, care and regularity ir
the rearing of dairy cattle, there will,
be overcome a vast amount of ignor.
ance in breeding, and the owners viii
receive profitable returns whether
they understand the laws OF mating
and reproduction or not"

POINTS TO REMEMBER.
The Cans for the Creamery Milk Must
Be Clean.

The can must be sweet and clean in
order to keep the milk sweet. That
same milk can must be emptied out as
1t comes from the factory at noon, so
you can have it ready for the evening
milk. Don't let it stand out by the
road until you are ready to milk. I
have seen good many places where
the patron will empty the can and
clean same out with cold water If they
have no warm water handy. 1t is no
wonder some patrons get the milk
back the next day because the can had
no chance to air out and was not fit 10
use for milk
Empty your cans out as soon as you
get them back; rinse them with cold
water, then boiling hot water. Use n
brush to wash them; never take a rag
and think that will do the work. 1t
will not; n brush will find every hol.
low place in the can and do the work
better than anything else you can get.
Then after the can is washed. lay II
down in place where the fresh air
will blow and let IT lie there for about
three hours. Then you viii have a can
that is ready and fit TO receive the
milk
That is the most trouble in the sum.
mer season. The cans are not prop.
erly cared for. And that is the reason
the creamery man always gets more
or less sour milk, so be sure and take
care of your milk cans.
After the milk is placed in the can
do not do like some farmers do-let It
stay in the barn over night-for it will
absorb all the stable air. and when
the milk comes to the creamery and
you take the cover off the can the
creamery man thinks he is close to a
COW stable instead of running cream.

Several years ago robin nested and
Matched its young on the trestling be-
meath the N. & w. railroad track where
it crosses the little stream at the intersec
ton of that road with the B. & o. at this
place. and it was thought wonderful
thing. Last Friday. however. at the
factory of VIM. Phillips Sons in this
place. Mr.. Frank Dunlap showed Us
something much more wonderful than
this. In portion of planning machine.
not yard from the planer itself, tiny
wren had entered through narrow slot
between the castings and made its nest
in cavity within in plain view from the
outside. Here it laid seven eggs, and al
the time we saw it six wee young ones
had been Matched out. During all this
time the machine had been running al
most continuously in the day time. and
on Friday Mr.. Dunlap was just complet-
ing run of four thousand feet of floor
ing at rapid rate through the planer.
We can only account for the action OF
this tiny creature In making so bold
a venture on the theory that instinct
prompted it in this case to seek the pro-
lection If man in this rapidly running
mach ne rather than risk the attacks of
English sparrows and other predatory
birds elsewhere outside. This Is an item
for our good friend Angel of Our Dumb
Animals.

There is more Catarrh in this sec ion of the
country than all other diseases put together,
and until the last few years was supposed to be
incnrable. For q great many years doctors
pronounced it o local disease, and prescribed
local NEEDLES. and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced it in-
durable. Science has proven catarrh to be a
constitutional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by +. J. Cheney Il Co, Toledo,
Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the
market. It is taken internally in doses from
