A Word About Dairy Cows.

In the Farmer of February 5. I'M
der the heading of Great Dairy
Cows" it was said that one COW in
Wisconsin produced in one month
1928 pounds Of butter-fat on 225.2
pounds OF feed. Now will Mr.. w. OF
Wisconsin please let us know how to
keep a COW one month on 225. q
pounds OF feed and get 1929 pounds
of butter-fat. 1t is a good COW that
will make $50 pounds OF butter in
enc year-that at twenty cents a
pound would be $50; skim milk
worth about S12 or a total income
of SCI for one COW for one year.
The cost of keeping COW one year
would be: Pasture six months, So;
winter feed six months, SIS; feed for
year. $27; milking, sos days at FIVE
cents per day, $15.25; washing milk
pals and other utensils and attending
milk end cream five o-nts per day,

A Fire Chief, Maybe.

One day a sympathetic old German
gentleman was leisurely strolling past
one of the city fire houses, when he
was moved by tears of the captain.
Stopping to offer consolation, he said !:
Say, for what you grief?"
"Oh," replied the captain, with a
fresh gush of tears, my poor father
is dead. If he had lived just one
more day he would have been Chief
of the whole fire department, just
think"
DO not so bad feel" said the
friendly old German, patting the fell
low on the shoulder, maybe he is a
fire chief now" Providence Journal.

The NEGLECTED. Farm Horse.

Some farmers think it a waste of
time to groom working horses in
order to make them look sleek and
shiny and would rather leave them in
their natural state.
1t should be remembered that in
the domestic horse more is demanded
than in the wild animal, and conse-
Quently he requires a little more
fostering to supply the wear of this
extra demand
And grooming does not mean mere
ly cultivating a "sleeky" appearance,
although l do not mean to depreciate
the virtue of those who take a pride
in keeping their horses in fine coat
and condition.
1t means a stimulating of the res
piratory system and consequently in
creased vigor to the health of the
horse.

"Pumpernickel."

Now that no political or party sig
nificance attaches to the subject, you
may be interested to know the origin,
as told me by a German officer, of the
name 'pumpernickel," given to the
black bread which, cut in thin slices
is the invariable accompaniment q

parties, and is regarded as such .

Napoleenic invasions of Germany .
century ago mounted French officer
put up at a wayside inn, and the pro-
prietor, wishing to give him of the
best, placed before him some of this
black bread. The French officer,
however, thrust 1t from him, exclaim'
ing: "Ce nest pas bon pour mol
mais c'est bon pour Nicol," that being
the name of his horse. Hence in the
course of time arose the appellation
"pumpernickel" applied to tbs bread

Sheen Worms and Tobacco.

We feed tobacco to sheep to keep
item clean from worms; tobacco
seems to be especially good to keep
tape-worms out Of sheep. We have
tried here several ways of feeding
tobacco. One was to mix it with the
salt; but we found that the sheep
wouldn't eat enough tobacco in this
put the ground tobacco beside the
salt, and when the sheep come up
for salt they eat what tobacco they
ueei. In this way the sheep them
selves regulate how much they should
eat. We always keep tobacco before
the sheep and think it does a good
bit OF good. Wallace's Farmer.
