THE DAIRYMAN

Before beginning to milk l dip my
first finger and thumb in powdered
soapstone, says a dairyman. 1t makes
the teats soft and slippery and does
not draw flies and gnats like wetting
them. The soapstone can be purchas-
ed at shoe stores and harness shops.
To Cure Sucking Cows.
If you have COW that sucks itself
while in pasture put an old horse col
lar on her and buckle it snugly around
her neck. 1t is not cruel, but is eff
fective.
Profits In Dairyins.
The dairyman who says that dairy
ing does not pay is ten to one board
ing several cows Of the poorer type.
AS sure as he uses the scales and test
and comes to know each cows produc-
ton he. like all others who have tried
it, will gradually change his herd to the
high producing kinds. The inevitable
result will be larger profit In his
business.
Points Of Good Cow.
There are five essential points that
should be observed in the selection of
cows for the development Of u dairy
herd from common stock. First, look
for COW with large and capacious
barrel. open and rather widely spaced
in the ribs, which should spring we'll
downward; second, look for evidences
Of refinement as seen in a head inclin-
ing to long. neck long and slim. crops
somewhat sharp and limbs inclining
to fine; third, look for the present evil
dences of good milk giving capacity;
fourth, look for evidences Of stamina
as indicated by good width through
the lower part Of the chest, by an ac-
tive carriage and bright, full eyes;
fifth, favor the COW that has a nice.
soft hide and silky coat.
Handling the Bull.
The bull is a treacherous animal and
is never to be trusted 1t may be ap-
parently mild. gentle and obedient one
hour and the personitication OF wrath.
vindictiveness and stubbornness the
next hour. Moreover. like all other
animals. it soon learns its power and
ability. The first principle to be ap-
piled in the training of a bull is never
to give it an opportunity to overpower
or outwit its caretaker. To this end
begin the training while yet calf.
Teach it to lead and never In sport or
otherwise permit the bull to have its
own way. Do not attempt to drive
or corner q bull, for it will soon learn
that it can dodge and go where 1t
pleases. and this lesson once learned Is
not forgotten.

line to degree. An effeminate ram
should have no place in the breeding
fold. A poor ram at the head of a
flock means failure. The easiest way
of making a profit out of Il flock is by
adding flesh and fleece to it through
the sire.
1t is not good policy to change the
ram when he is doing good service, as
changing rams is nothing more or less
than experimenting. and good sires
are not a common article. When buy
ing n ram look to individuality. Keep
an eye out for what you want before
you really need it, Select early before
the cream OF the flock is gone. and
don't delay until the breeding season
comes around before you make your
selections. Don't forget that there are
culs in the pure bred flock as we'll as
in the common grade flock. The best
rams are not by any means always
those that win the most show yard rib
bons, but rather those that sire the
best lambs. A ram with pedigree
may be worthless sire. but the ram
without a pedigree cannot be anything
else. Always buy your rams OF rep
utable breeders. even If their prices
seem little high. a gooo opportunity
offers itself of purchasing what you
need at the state fairs. where the
types advocated by the different breed
ers may be studied side by side.
Don't use u mongrel ram on any ac-
count. for such is Il profit killer; don't
use ram carrying the same defects in
conformation that your eve flock car
res. and don't select the ram strong in
particular points with view to coun-
teracting the weak points of your ewes.
The only way to correct weaknesses in
the eve flock is by using Il perfectly
| smooth ram.
| Don't allow a few dollars to stand
between you and good ram. Don't
sacrifice a good flock header because
he is little on the aged side. Don't
cultivate the idea that you must use a
yearling every year. A well tried aged
ram is much better than an uncertain
young stock ram. The ram that gives
| the best results is one OF active yet
thrifty temperament and one that has
not undergone Il show yard campaign.
That fitting for the show yard units
the ram for breeding purposes there is
no doubt, and many a valuable animal
! has been entirely ruined by the proc
ess. A ram should be ''sirey" about
the head and muzzle. A wide. open
! noStril dpnictS breadth of skull and
breadth all over. OF course his fleece
and skin should be Of the best Then
his carriage should be proud and i'm
portant. The less daylight appearing
under him the better-in other words
the shorter he stands on leg the better
4 short leg usually means Il strong
| bone and muscle and rotundity OF
frame not found with a long. stiltv leg
The best ram is invariably the cheap
est in the end. as it is through his in
! fluence that quality is attained.

STABLE VENTILATION.
A Striking Illustration of the Value o,
Pure Air.

A Striking Illustration of the Value o,
Pure Air.
An enthusiastic dairyman recently
said that when his stock was tested
for tuberculosis only one animal re-
acted. Others that had been standing
near her for several months passed
the test without shade of suspicion.
The one that reacted was just an
ordinary COW, and she was speedily
segregated from the herd. Those
standing near her were valuable
grades or pure breds. and it is Won
der that they had not caught the dis
ease by virtue Of the fact that they
stood so close to the reacting animal
in the stable.
This man said that he placed the
whole credit of this upon his system
of ventilation. He uses modified
King system. and, while his barn is
not new or modern. he is able to keep
the air pure at all times without chill
ing the cows or causing them any dis
NOuiOtt. ne Sulu tuut TIC NShth"tOi
did not cost him over $40. and he felt
sure that it had saved him hundreds
of dollars worth Of valuable stock.
Here is striking illustration Of the
value OF ventilation. A farmer hest
fates to provide his cattle with pure
air by the approved method. and as a
result he finds that one or two affected
animals are able to pass the disease
on to those upon which he may not
care to name price. Tuberculosis is
40 respecter Of breed or blood. 1t at.
fects the COW whose system offers the
most successful home for the bacilli.
Stables should also be well lighted
and so arranged that the light will not
strike the animals directly in the eyes.

GENERAL NEWS NOTES

Since the anticigarette law be-
came operative, prohibiting chill
dren between 10 and IS years old
smoking cigarettes, it Is no unusual
sight to see boys ranging in age from
Z up putting away at pipes that
wheeze as unsteady as that of an old
timer.
Although boys + not given to
any great extent TO perusing the stat
utes they are familiar to a surprising
degree with the provisions of the
anti-cigarette law and the smallest
street urchin can point out the fea-
lures of the law almost as readily as
its author.
They have found there is nothing
in the law to restrain a boy from
smoking his tobacco in a Mis-
souri, meerchaum or any other kind
of pipe, so they have all gone in
for pipes. Dealers say there has
been a big increase in their sales Of
pipes, particularly the cheaper sorI
of small wood pipes. which come
within the financial range Of the av
erage boy.
Now and then a boy may b'
seen surreptitiously inhaling in al
alley or out of sight of the min
ions of the law but for the most par
the pipe has supplanted the eoffil
nail and the rising generation, un
less the law is repealed, will grow
up into a rae Of pipe smokers.
The law provides that a chill
caught smoking cigarettes may b.
fined not to exceed $40. Dealers VIII
sell to persons under the age Of 1
subject themselves to a fine rans
ing for the first offense from 81
to $500 and for the second FROM sSI
10 $500. The complaining witness
gets half the fine,
