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 well as you do.
See that the dairy COW at all times
has access to clear, fresh water.
The best thing with which to clean
a 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 step
to greater dairy profits on many q

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 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
a part of the day, the loss in milk

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

On 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,
bull running with the herd is un-
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 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
have quit their job because of the
bull
A very vital objection to running
the bull with the COWS is that it 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, matter of no
small Importance.
A further serious objection to run
ming a bull with the herd is that many
valuable bull is disposed of to the
butcher because he has become un-
manageable with the herd. Most bulls
are sold to the butcher before they
have had 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 1 wish to
give here only one of them, one which
l have used for number of years and

BUILDING GOOD DAIRY HOUSE
Detailed Directions for Constructing
Suitable Structure Over Spring
on Hillside.
eBy ]. G. wEArHERsoN.)


A fine dairy house may be built
over a 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.
If 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 drain pipe to carry the
water for some distance after it leaves
the interior of the house SO the an.
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.
If you have good ventilation gas
oline stove for heating water to wash
the utensils would be practicable as
1t would make little heat. If you
must use coal or wood stove the
room for 1t 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
the water.

The lady at the flreside laid down
the sock she was darning and softly

Her large and expressive eyes
turned toward the mantel with its
many ornaments. There she saw her
self in various Photographic poses. At
the right she was Flossie Floom In

was Toto Bongo in 1.-The Sun God" In

cheek. There was the souvenir pro-

triumph that was!
On the sewing table was her scrap
book of dramatic notices, discreetly
culled.

INJURED, "but oh you footlights!"
She looked at her rounded arm, she
stared down at her dainty foot. A
queer panty smell came TO her, lone
violin gave forth a quavering squeak
the misty blend of 1000 white faces
confronted her.
"Why should l profane my art by
darning socks?" she cried.
Then hurting the inoffensive foot
wear into the crate, she went back to
the stage.
