Bull Butt. Man over Wall.

Frankford, Pa.--Tossed over high
stone wall by an angry bull. George
Kalker, 80 years old. employed as a
farmland by David McKale of Frank
ford. hung in the branches of tree
where he landed until he was rescued
and hurried to the Frankford hos
pital. He is being treated for a badly
torn leg.
The McKale farm is on the Bristol
pike. and one of its most noted at
fractions is prize bull. which has
never been considered a bad one"
Walker was filling water trough
near the wall, which is the boundary
line of the bulls domain. On the
other side of the wall is q tree, the
lowest branches Of which are ten feet
from the ground.
While Walker was leaning over the
trough. with his back to the bull. the
animal charged, and the impact came
before the farmland could change
his posture. 1t was a lusty heave upon
the part of the bull and Walker sailed
over the wall and into the tree. There
he hung until McKals answered his
cries for help.

P.rtl., Cow Ration,

No one should attempt to run q
steam engine that was driving . 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 go pounds OF steam" Chemists
tell US that two-thirds of what 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 are not recognized as such,
and cannot be made profitable unless
they receive more feed. There is no
profit in feeding partial rations to mich
cows. We cannot get profitable re-
suits running cows on go pounds of
steam" II 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.

KEEPING PROFITABLE cows.
Many Kept In Iowa That % Net
Pay for Their Feed and
Care.

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 ~ much feed ~ do

much time and care in milking.
There was 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 probably exist.
The lactation period should be at
least nine months in length. The
amount OF milk COW should produce
to be profitable is variously stated At
from 5000 to 5000 pounds annually,
or suf1l ciert to yield from 200 to 240
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 IL not profit
able animal. Yet how large percent
age of so-calied 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 q 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 1t is
q good plan to keep q 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 1t will not be dim

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 out in order to preserve the wood
and to prevent leaking. For paint
for this purpose. coal tar IL about
as good a. any kind. 1t serves well
for filling cracks and II 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
machine that 10 made for its pur.
pose and one that 10 not. What would
you think Of q man who would 60

chine!"
When every dairyman comes to own
MS own farm and comes to under
stand the most economical use OF
skinned milk and manure. dairying
will become q profitable industry.
The SKINNED milk and manure COM
bined may be made to represent as
much a. the butter fat of the dairy.
1t is better to build two or three
silos OF narrow diameter than one of
wide diameter. When silage is used
for summer feeding 1t will keep bet
ter with small top surface exposed.
The power Of production in q COW
is inherited. II the COW is a good
dairy animal by Inheritance and is
given good care and feed she will be-
come more productive as she increases
in age. The quantity rather than the
quality Of her milk IL Influenced by

MIX from Either Side,

Cows are always MIXED from the on
or right side because they have been
taught that way. A COW can be MIXED
from either side II she is brought up
right, but the lessons must begin at
the earliest handling Of the heller.
Milk first from one side and then the
other, and in a short time the heifer
will not mind. It 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 ~ . stranger,
u not an enemy.
