feeds of wheat bran II there happened
to be any on hand. II not the small
corn ration was slightly increased.
Many a time the writer has gone out
on winters morning and found all
the cows covered with snow and ice.
In muddy weather it was no unusual
Thing to see them tramping in slush
half knee-deep. This was at time
when scales were not used in the dairy
and We had no way of telling how
much COW was producing. No
thought was given to the matter. The
cows lived all right around the straw
stack in winter and gave little milk,
and that was the extent of the general
dairying industry.
Now we hace learned better, says
the Journal of Agriculture. The mich
COW must pay her way while consum'
ing valuable feeds. But there are two
sides to the question, one from the
quality of the COW and one from the
quality of care we give her.
The good dairy COW is more sensi.
tive animal than members of beef
breeds. She is easily affected by cold.
heat, hunger, flies, fear and other in
fluences. She must be made comfort
able In every respect, and the condi-
tions for her comfort are very exact
ing.
Some farmers claim that dairy cows
can stand as much cold as beef cows,
but this is not reasonable. Beef ami
mails have surplus of fat and are
fed on fat and heat-forming feeds,
hence they can withstand cold with
out suffering. The good milk COW
carries not surplus fat to keep out the
cold. Furthermore. she is not fed on
feeds which produce fat and heat,
Carbonaceous feeds are not allowed
in the best dairy practice.
The good mich COW Is lean rather
than fat All of her feeds except those
for bodily maintenance go for the pro-
duction of milk, and there Is little left
for heat production. For this reason
she must be warmly bedded and
sheltered in cold weather. IL she Is
not some of her protein feeds will be
transformed into heat energy to sup
ply the bodily needs and not go for
the production OF milk. For the same
reason, water she drinks should be
warm, or the chill taken off, so that
no feeds will be wasted in heat produc
ton. On very cold days, II the COW
stall can not be maintained at a high
stable temperature, blanketing the pro
ducing COW is economical. Shelter
bedding, and COW blankets, II rightly
used, are cheaper than dairy feeds al
the present high prices and the wise
dairyman will see to II that all OF his
producing milch cows are kept warm
and dry during Indictment weather,
The dry COW few weeks previous
to dropping her calf usually takes on
some fat and is better able to stand
the cold. She should be allowed to
be outside nearly all of every day fol-
exercise for her benefit and the good
of the unborn calf. The extra fresh
air. sunshine, and exercise will do hel
good. She should be sheltered al

Dairy profits may be divided into

The line was completed from there to
the boundary. and the crew is now
returning to pick up the line and run
through to meet with another party
which will work north from Newport.

TO DOUBLE TRACk N. ?.
News of S. P. & S. Is Confirmed at
Standpoint.

That the Northern Pacific will
make Standpoint and Kootenai all
that it has promised and even
more too, is evidenced by the fact
that work at present is under wav
double tracking the railroad from
Spokane to Standpoint with the
express purpose in view of using
the same for the Spokane, Portland
& Seattle railway, says the North
ern Idaho News. X a
Last week Road Master Bradl.v
OF Spokane was in Sand point and
while here remarked: "We will
construct double track as far as
possible this fall from Spokane to
Standpoint and kootenai and as
soon as work can, it will be re-
sumed in the spring. A large
crew OF men are at work every day
now getting the road bed in shape
tor the additional track and will be
maintained as long as the weather
conditions will permit. The pur-
pose OF the double track is owing
to the fact that the Spok ane, Port
land & Seattle Railway company
will operate its trains between
Spokane and kootenai and will
require an extra track. kootenai
will be the eastern terminal OF the
