MANAGEMENT OF DAIRY BULL
Prasise of Allowing Animal to Run
With Herd Has Serious Draw
blackstone Method.

Ga the majority of farms it is Gus
tomary to allow the bull to run with
the herd. This practise is open to
serious objections. In the first place,
a bull running with the herd is I'M
safe from the standpoint of human
life. No bull is absolutely safe, be
he ever SO gentle. In fact, it is the
gentle" bull that usually kills, be-
cause fewer precautions are taken
with animals of this kind than with
those that show an ugly disposition,
writes John Michels, in Homestead
Then there is the annoyance and
worry, especially for children and
women, to have a bull run about.
Hired men also complain about get
ting up the cows when there is a bull
with them and who knows how many
bull.
A very vital objection to running
the bull with the cows Is that 1t i'm
pairs the usefulness of the bull, due
to excessive service. One service is
sufficient and this can be had only
when the bull is kept away from the
cows. Again, it Is difficult to tell
when COWS have conceived, which
makes it impossible to know when the
COWS are due to calve, a matter of no
small Importance.
further serious objection to run
ming bull wits the herd is that many
a valuable bull is disposed of to the
butcher because he has become I'M
manageable with the herd Most bulls
are sold to the butcher before they
have had a chance to demonstrate
their value.
The question now, arises, If the bull
is not to run with the herd, how is
he to be managed? There are sew
eral ways of doing this, but wish to
give here only one of them. one which

means complete "tie-up" for suffra
gettes. There is no doubt that the
fad will meet with strong approval in
this class; for what suffragette does
not yearn for shackles? Here is a
chance for one and all to appear In
the limelight with their feet tightly
bound at the small cost of just a few
cents for good, strong, but short

be over, and that Is how the great

Taking it all in all, it looks like a

to cut fashion every time.

PRACTICAL SCALE FOR BARN

In these days Of COW testing, the

Inches in length. Holes, a little larger
than the diameter of the rope, are
bored at each end of the sticks. The
pieces are then threaded upon the
rope tying knot on each side of each
stick to prevent it from slipping out of
place. The sticks are so arranged that
there will be three on each side of the
cows neck as indicated in the accom-
panying drawing. The collar is then
adjusted and seldom fails to have the
desired effect.

Think twice before selling the good
COW and then don't sell her.
Care must be taken not to get the
cream too sour for churning.
Remember the COW likes regular
meal hours as we'll as you do.
See that the dairy COW at all times
has access to clear, fresh water.
The best thing with which to clean
separator Is small, stiff brush.
II the COW Is to produce pure milk
she must have pure food and water.
One cannot properly clean milk
pals without the use of boiling water.
The hand separator has been a step
to greater dairy profits on many a
farm.
The real butter-maker of our coun-
try Is the farm COW whose milk never
goes to the creamery.
AS the calf is so is the COW. Poor
care in calfhood means a poor COW
when she comes to maturity.
The Iowa state dairy law forbids
selling milk from cows within two
weeks of calving and five days after.
In dairy herds, even where stables
are darkened and the cattle kept in
part of the day. the loss in milk
yields resulting from the annoyance
caused by flies is often quite mate
rial.
Milk containing less than twenty
per cent. of butter-fat cannot be
churned at temperature below so
degrees. but milk containing IS per
cent. or more can be churned at lower
temperature with good results.

BUILDING GOOD DAIRY HOUSE
Detailed Directions for Constructing
Suitable Structure Over Spring
on Hillside.
(By ]. G. wEATHERsoN.)

CBy ]. G. WEATHERSON)
A fine dairy house may be built
over spring. You know about what
size room will be required for your
work. Build the spring house with
the end against the hillside and ar
range it SO the overflow stream from
the spring will run along one side,
leaving just room enough to walk be-
tween the water and wall. Have
space enough on the other side of the
room for a work bench and shelves.
also walk.
II convenient make cement floor.
If not pave the floor and also the bot
tom and edges OF the stream closely
with large fiat stones. Put boards
over the stone floor to walk and stand
on.
Construct a drain pipe to carry the
water for some distance after it leaves
the interior of the house SO the ap-
proach will not be damp. Have no
board foundations that will rot or
mold. Everything about the dairy
house must be clean and sweet Have
plenty of light on the side where your
work bench is.
II you have good ventilation gas
oline stove for heating water to wash
the utensils would be practicable as
It would make little heat. II you
must use coal or wood stove the
room for it should be above the spring
house, not in 1t.
In placing the stones on the bed of
the stream prop them carefully SO
they will be perfectly fiat so the pans
or crooks may be set upon them In

Earth Cayed in Stanton.

Hon. Harry H. Blease, of Staunton,
Va, who is visiting the family of his
brother, Mayor Cole L. Blease, in
Newberry, has received the Staunton
newspapers telling of the disaster in
staunton caused by the ground in GER
tain sections of the city caving in
Great property damage has already
resulted, and a whole block is affected
including the handsome graded school
building, fire headquarters and other
large buildings. The cave-in was tc
such an extent that it is stated in the
newspapers that a whole two-story
house was completely swallowed. Nc
lives have been lost. The theory ad-
vanced by the Staunton paper is that
there is a subterranean stream which
has gradually worn a cavern in the
earth underneath.
