Partial Cow Ration.

No one should attempt to run a
steam engine that was driving a mod
ern threshing outfit with but 80 pounds
Of steam. Yet many dairymen at
tempt to get profitable results from
their cows by feeding them a partial
ration. They attempt to run them with
but $50 pounds Of steam" Chemists
tell us that two-thirds of what a COW
consumes goes to maintain her body.
The remainder goes toward milk pro-
duction.
It is evident to all that the profit
must come from the feed over and
above that which the cow requires for
maintenance, and that the more she
eats the greater will be the profit.
There are many good cows in the
country that arenot recognized as such
and cannot be made profitable unless
they receive more feed. There is no
proftin feeding partial rations to mich
cows. We cannot get profitable re-
suits running cows on $50 pounds OF
steam" If there is a food shortage
one might better feed full rations to
half the number rather than feed the
many on half rations. In the latter
case there will be much work and
little profit. In the former, the cows
are sure to give profitable returns
and the labor of caring for the herd
would be much lessened. - Milk Re

WHAT coLoRs SHALL / usEg
This Question Is important In Painting
a House or Other Building.

A proper color scheme is extremely
important IN painting a house. It
makes all the difference between a
really attractive home and one at
which you wouldn't take second
glance. And it makes big difference
in the price the property will bring on
the market.
AS to the exterior, good deal de-
ponds upon the size and architecture
Of the house, and upon its surround
ings. For a good interior effect you
must consider the size of the rooms,
the light, etc.
You can avoid disappointment by
studying the books of color schemes
for both exterior and interior painting,
which can be had free by writing Ma
tional Lead Company, 1902 Trinity
Building, New York, and asking for
Houseowner's Painting Outfit No. 40.
The outfit also includes specifications,
and a simple instrument for testing
the purity of paint materials. Pure
White Lead which will stand the test
in this outfit will stand the weather
test. National Lead Company's ia
nous Dutch Boy Painter trademark
on the key is a guarantee Of that kind
of white lead.

DAIRY NOTES.

Hollow concrete blocks make an
ideal silo that will not crack or the
contents easily freeze. Machines for
making silo concrete blocks may be
purchased for about $40.
With the exception of where the
very best cedar is used, all wooden
silos should often be painted inside
and cut in order to preserve the wood
and to prevent leaking. For paint
for this purpose, coal tar is about
as good as any kind. 1t serves well
for filing cracks and is also good
preservative.
The question of the one purpose and
the dual purpose dairy cow has almost
ceased to be discussed by rational
dairymen. The difference between
the dual purpose dairy cow and the
dairy cow" says W. D. Hoard of Wis
consin, is just the difference between
a machine that is made for its pur
pose and one that is not. What would
you think Of man who would &c
out to cut grass with a sewing ma
chine?'
When every dairyman comes to OWE
his own farm and comes to under
stand the most economical use OF
skinned milk and manure, dairying
will become profitable industry
The skinned milk and manure com
bined may be made to represent as
much as the butter fat of the dairy
1t is better to build two or three
silos of narrow diameter than one Of
wide diameter. When si1age is uset
for summer feeding it will keep bet
ter with small top surface exposed.
The power of production in a COW
is inherited. If the COW is a goot
dairy animal by inheritance and i.
given good care and feed she will be
come more productive as she increases
in age. The quantity rather than thu
quality Of her milk is Influenced b!
feed.

KEEPING PROFITABLE cows,
Many Kept in Iowa That Do NOT
Pay for Their Feed and
Care, -.sa-

A dairy authority in Iowa asserts
that there are hundreds and hundreds
Of cows kept for dairy purposes in
Iowa which do not yield sufficient to
pay for the feed which they consume,
for they consume as much feed as do
the profitable ones and require as
much time and care in milking.
There was a time when the dairy
COW was not expected to milk for more
than six months in the year, but with
the present high prices for labor and
feed this condition of affairs can no
longer profitably exist.
The lactation period should be at
least nine months in length. The
amount of milk a COW should produce
to be profitable is variously stated at
from 5000 to 5000 pounds annually,
or sufficient to yield from 200 to 24O
pounds of butter fat. This should
vary, of course, with the locality, price
of labor, feed, etc. However, 1t is
safe to say that COW with reasonably
good care, that does not produce the
lesser of these amounts is not profit
able animal Yet how large percent
age of so-called dairy COWS will stand
this test?
In order to determine accurately a
cows usefulness as dairy animal 1t
is well to weigh one days milk every
week or ten days during the lactation
period At the same time a sample
should be taken for testing. The time
of freshening should also be noted in
order to determine the length of the
lactation period.
The same authority asserts that it is
a good plan to keep a book account
with each cow, charging her with cost
of feed consumed and labor expended
and credit her with value Of milk and
calf In this way it will not be diff
cult to pick out the non-paying in
dividuals.

Milk from Either Side.

Cows are always MIXED from the off
or right side because they have been
taught that way. A cow can be MIXED
from either side If she is brought up
right, but the lessons must begin at
the earliest handling of the heifer.
Milk first from one side and then the
other, and in short time the heifer
will not mind. 1t often comes handy
to milk from the left side and the COWS
should be trained to stand for It.
The man who will make a pet of his
cow will have no trouble and will get
greater benefit at milking time than
the one who treats her as stranger,
II not an enemy.

Benefits of Hand Separator,

By the use of the hand separator Il
is possible to make the highest grade
of butter at home, providing the cream
is properly handled and churned. By
the use of the separator you are not
only able to make higher grade of
butter and sell it for a higher price,
but you will be able to extract more
cream from the milk, and hence make
more butter. Also, the warm, sweet
skim milk will have a higher food
value either for human use or for ami
NAL feeding. If you keep more than
three or four cows by all means buy a
separator. It viii soon pay for itself.

sERMoNETTE.

"AboVe all things truth bear
eth away the victory"
Truth is still winning It's vic
tories in the world to-day.
Truth is the expression of
God in the world. 1t is the one
abiding thing before which all
that is false and unreal must I'LL
timately give way.
God is spoken of as q God of
truth, and the visible expression
of God to the world, "the Word
which was made flesh and dwelt
among men," is declared to have
been full of grace and truth"
Moses is said to have deliv-
cred the law, but Jesus is de-
cIared to have given the real ex-
preston of that law because
grace and truth came by him.
Jesus made the open decIara-
, ton that he was the sway, the
truth and the Iife," and as he
was taking leave of his disciples
before the crucifixion he prom
ised them that the Spirit of
Truth should come unto them
and guide them into all truth.
All this clearly emphasizes
the fact that truth Is a part and
expression of the eterna! God.
Men should seek to know the
truth. They should never be
afraid of it because it skaters
perhaps the conceptions and
ideas of previous years.
Truth is revolutionary. 1t
tears down that which stands
on false foundations in order
that that which Is enduring may
8 remain.
With the PsaImist David, we
should all "desire truth in the
! inward parts" and should earn
estly and honestly choose the
way of truth, but we should re-
member two dangers which
threaten the seeker after truth.
s First, that the cold, Intellect
uaI search after truth, without
4 that warmth of love and faith
Z from God which can make of
s that truth real live factor in
: the lives of men is to really hold
4 the truth in error.
3 Truth cannot find its real and
s full expression apart from love.
: God is first love, and then truth,
Z or rather he is truth because he
3 Is love, He could not be truth
s apart from love and love could
4 not manifest itself except as II
3 was grounded In truth.
2 Therefore, cold inteIIectuaIism
s can never measure the full
Z meaning of truth. They can
! make an idol of truth itself, and
3 can develop a consuming pas
s sion for the search for truth
& as they measure and weigh
3 everything in life, and in the
3 very doing of 1t they can miss
5 God himself. For truth is not
Z the sum total of God, but truth
3 is found In God; is a part Of
2 God.
8 And the second danger is the
& half truths which seize hold up
3 on the heart and sway the life
3 as though all the truth were
8 known and understood. Half
e truths are always full OF peril.
