DEVELOPING
TIE HEIFER.

The development Of the dairy heifer
begins with its feeding when a calf.
If the calf is well nourished and kept
healthy it should develop good appe-
tite and should early learn to eat hay
and other roughage. Hay should al
ways be provided plentifully, as this
bulky food tends to promote and devel-
op the digestive system Of the young
animal. 1t is always wen also to feed
the grain mixed with cottonseed bulls
if possible, as this makes a lighter
feed and one that will be better masti-
Gated and digested Some animals are
somewhat dainty as to their feed and
do not eat with the relish that should
always be noticeable in the healthy
and well nourished animals. This is
usually result of disorganized con-
dition of the digestive system and
should be corrected without delay, as
it may soon become fixed habit. /.
The animal that has a poor appetite
will never be profitable dairy animal.
Care should be exercised in feeding
not to overfeed. 1t is always a safe
proposition to feed twice day as
much grain as will be consumed in
half an hour and as much hay as will
be eaten in two hours. If any feed is
left in the rack or manger it should
be removed, and the next feeding
should be reduced to correspond to the
needs and appetite of the animal. To
feed more than an animal will con-
sumo in two hours is wasteful. 1t is a
safe proposition to feed as much as
an animal will consume and still wish
for more. but If more is fed than will
be consumed the appetite for the next
meal is decreased and the animal will
soon be refusing to eat at all or, as the
common expression is. will be "off it's
feed"
The best results in developing heifer
calves are secured by feeding plenty
Of good bright alfalfa or cowpea or
peanut hay during the first season in

grain ration consisting of equal parts

corn mixed with cottonseed hulls The

James J.. Hill, chairman of the

Of James J. and L. w. Hill with 7. F
Sturgess, general manager of the corn
show. Will A. Campbell, of the Com
mercial club of Omaha, and Prof. c..
r. Bull, of the Minnesota Agricultural
college. The matter of arranging the
classes was placed by Mr.. Hill in the
hands of Prof. Bull and Prof. Thomas
Shaw, of the Dakota Farmer.
The zone from which these grains
and grasses may come in order to win
some of the Hill money comprises an
area Of 214,OOO,OOO acres in Minnesota,
North and South Dakota, Montana,
Idaho and Washington, through which
the Great Northern runs. The rail-
road company will also assist the
farmers in every way in taking ex-
hibits to the national corn exposition
at Omaha. Baggage cars are to be
routed along the lines and pick up ex-
hibits which will be carried to Omaha
without expense to the exhibitors. The
interstate commerce law permits the
railroads to do this, and President l..
w. Hill announced that everything
would be done to encourage farmers
in the Great Northern zone" to make
exhibits.

A good horse collar is the chief part
Of the harness. and it should be Of the
very best kind and fit the animals

at all times and the horses shoulders
well washed and brushed each day
Much dirt and dust arise in the fields
and on the roads at this season. and
these are caught and held on the moist
and sweaty shoulders, there to form
hard Jumps and ridges. Every time
the collar is put on the horse it should
be examined for these Jumps and
ridges. If any are found they should
be carefully brushed and rubbed away.
After each days work battle and clean
the shoulders with a mixture of warm
water, salt and soda.

How One Progressive Dairyman
Weighs and Tests the Milk.

HOW one progressive Dalryman
Weighs and Tests the Milk.
On our farm we weigh every cows
milk at each milking. The time re-
quired to do this and record it on one
of the milk sheets does not average
over one minute per cow each day.
We use a pair of good spring bal
ances in weighing our milk, and they
must be correct or they cannot stay in
our barn. These balances will weie Il
up to thirty pounds and divide the
pounds into tenths Of pounds.
We have case built for this milk
sheet with door, so we can shut it
when we are done recording. This
keeps the record clean. This case
hangs on the wall right close to the
scales, so as to be handy.
We used to use a slate and take the
record off into book every fifteen
days. This, however, made a lot of
hard work every two weeks, and we
like the sheet much better. I had this
sheet made to order, and it gives each
days milk for the entire herd and
then each cows milk each day and
total for the month, with average test
for the month. ...
We do not seem to have any trouble
in getting the men to weigh and record
the milk. They seem to be as willing
to do that part Of the work as any
Of it.
We test part Of the milk every week
or every two weeks in the year.
could not estimate the value it is to
the man In the dairy business to weigh
and test every individual COW. 1t
surely is worth many times what it
costs, and think there is no other
work that we can do on the farm that
will pay so well, provided we are stu
dents and will profit by what this
work will bring out in the way Of re-
turns from the feed and the results
from certain lines Of breeding.
Farmers who are trying to be pro-
gressive are following along the latest
methods, and it does not matter wheth-
er they learn good thing from books
or from experience; so long as they
learn it they use it-R. B. Rushing.

never be encouraged, yet continuous,

The practice Of using beef bull on
herd Of dairy cows for the purpose
OF improving the vealing qualities Of
the calves usually results In confused
mixture Of dairy and beef qualities in
the working herd itself. Such sys-
tenn is finally disastrous to the dairy
interests, for it is not only barrier to
Improvement. but effectually blocks the
transmission Of what desirable or ex-
ceptional qualities may be represented

Points For tho Shepherd.

See that the water supply is pure
and clean.
Lambs grow faster If they can get
plenty of water to drink-a pointer
for the man who is in hurry to get
his lambs to market
See that the supply Of salt does not
get low.
Rains give sheep snifes, diarrhea
and consumption. Bring them to the
barn during rainstorm and feed them
under cover.
Keep their noses smeared with tar
or some disinfectant until the ravages
Of the gadfy are past.
Intelligent, careful breeding tells
more rapidly upon sheep than upon
any other domestic animals.

which were Of various kinds, express
ing every age, country, condition and
complexion. All were constructed
with the greatest nicely and precision.
The dresses were also adapted to the
characters assumed by the actors.
What was known as the buskin was
a hunting boot. Those worn by ira
gedians had soles three inches thick.
composed of layers of cork, and were
laced up in front as high as the calf
Sandals were also worn, and many of
these had thick cork soles. The COL
ors Of the foot coverings were various,
red being the favorite hue for war
riors and purple for other characters.
Slaves wore low shoe bearing the
name Of sock. which was also the ordi-
nary footwear of comedians. From
this circumstance arose the we'll
known phrase of sock and buskin, -
so generally associated with the drama.
