How Long Are Cows ProftabI.Y


In my opinion. a milk COW remains
valuable as long as she breeds and
continues to give enough milk and but
ter fat to pay reasonable dividend
over and above cost of keep The old
est COW have is nine years old, and
l don't remember having kept any un-
til older. l find my cows after their
eighth year begin to taper of in guam
tity Of milk produced, though they
would last longer IL they had not
been crowded" so hard in former
years. My experience and observation
of Holsteln cows lead me to believe
that the decrease is gradual from the
high point of efficiency, much as the
increase from "heiferhood" on is grad
ual, but that the period Of lactation is
not shortened In the slightest.
| believe good COW. one that has
paid good dividends all her life, should
be kept until she can no longer pay for
her feed. And II she has been an ex-
ceptional COW she should be kept as
long as she win breed. as calves from
such a COW have every chance TO be-
como as good as or better than the dam,
and great cows are not as yet very
common.-R. B. Young in Farmers
Review.

DOUBLE WALL CONCRETE sILo.

weather proved conclusively that those
provided with tight roof did not con.
tain nearly as much frozen silage as
those left open.
The freezing of silage does not nee
essarily mean q loss, as 1t may be
thawed out and made fit for feeding
and when properly attended to need not
rot or mold. The frozen silage may be
often thawed by mixing with the
warm silage at the center of the silo.
1t is generally considered dangerous
to feed frozen silage.
In order to secure first class con-
crete silo it is necessary that good ma
terials. well mixed In the right pro-
portions, be used In preparing the con-
crete and that the whole be skillfully
handled If these requirements are
fulfilled the writer's upon investigation
are confident that no better silo can
be erected than one constructed of
concrete. The investigations, how
ever, would indicate that 1t is not ad-
vtsable for the man with no expert
ence with concrete construction to at
tempt the building of a concrete silo
The expense involved is too great for
the individual farmer who has not
previously constructed buildings of
concrete to experiment. The work
should be turned over to the concrete
contractor under guarantee that only
a first class silo be built.
Among the desirable features of the
concrete silo or any masonry silo may
be mentioned that 1t is essentially
fire proof. A silo was found In use In
Wisconsin which had withstood fire
that burned all the surrounding build
ings.

CONCRETE SIL0S.
Fireproof and Practically Frost Proc

, Fireproof and Practically Frost Proof
When Properly Constructed.
1t is desirable to prevent the freez'
ing of silage in the silo during cold
weather as far as possible, and the silo
of construction to prevent freezing
to the largest degree is the preferable
one, other things being equal, says
bulletin issued by the Iowa expert
ment station. 1t Is difficult to make
comparison between the merits OF the
various types of silos in this respect
owing to the inability to find them un-
der like conditions. Freezing of silage
Is due to loss of heat. first, through the
silo wall and, second, to the air in con-
tact with the feeding surface. The
first loss may be reduced by using a
nonconducting wall in the silo and the
second by preventing the circulation
of air above the silage in the silo.
1t may be impartially said that as
far as the prevention of freezing of ST.
lage is concerned the stave, stone. sim
gle wall brick and concrete silos are or
equal merit. When properly made.
however, the double wall concrete s1lo
is perhaps the most nearly frost PROOF
of ALL The conducting material be-
tween the walls consists only In small
metal ties, and the circulation Of air
may be cut off by the insertion of hori-
zontaI tar paper partitions. When the
top of the silo Is open and free cir
culation of air permitted 1t is almost
impossible to prevent the surface from
freezing in severe weather. A per
sonal investigation of silos in cold |

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inf1amed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachion tube. When this tube is
infamed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entire
ly closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken
ont and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by Catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous surfaces.

When people buy an article of food,
whether it is coffee, butter, canned
goods, or anything else, they want the
real thing and not an imitation, and
they also want full weight. 1t was to
secure all this to the public, and IL
the interest of health also, that the
pure food law was passed. Therefore
the attempt now icing made by power
full interests to break down this law
so as to be able to revert to the old
system of dishonesty should be siren
uously opposed In this connection
it should not be forgotten that under
that system some of the mail order
houses reaped rich harvest and cut
into the trade Of the home merchants
by sending their customers inferior
and adulterated goods of short weight,
and 1t is reasonable to expect the same
concerns will be at their old tricks if
the pure food law is found uncon.
stitutional.
