HOW ENGLISH

Cows Are Not SoiIed 90 Any
Great Extent but Pasture Is
Depended Upon for Entire
Summer Feed.

In England cows are not soiied to
any great extent but pasture Is de-
pended upon for the entire summer
feed. They say over there that II
takes two acres to keep cow going
as she should.
Early in August the cows are turned
on the aftermath of the meadows and
later changed back and forth between
the pastures and the meadow.
When taken of the pastures In late
summer the cows are fel little cot
ton seed cake but they do not get
much grain at any time.
In the winter they are fed roots
40 to 10 pounds per day. about 10
pounds OF straw, half as much hay
and about eight pounds of meal and
oil cake mixed.
The barn yards are paved With cob.
Bile stones TO keep the cows out OF tho
mud and the manure Is saved un-
der sheds. Not q thing Is wasted.
There are very few ercameries in
England and the butter on the mar

quality. generally a great deal better
than our farmers make.
The prices for milk for tho year
averages about $3.50 per 100 pounds.

COMFORT FOR
FARM STOCK
Should BE Fed at Regular Times
and Never Roughly Handled
by Being Chased by Dog
or Left An Cold.

(By A. d. WILSON. University Farm. st.
Paul, Minn.)
One of our good dairy farmers, liv-
ing In Carlton county, who is also q
Farmers Institute lecturer, Mr.. F. B.
McLeran, In talking on Care of
Dairy Cattle" always emphasizes the
Importance of making the stock COM
Portable. He says that II they are
made uncomfortable by being fed at
irregular times. so that they spend a
great deal of their time expecting to
be fed, the discomfort shows In lower
production. If they are made un-
comfortable by having poor bed. by
being roughly handled, by having a
dog set on them, or by being left out
In the cold or allowed to go thirsty,
these conditions result in decreased
production. He emphasizes the fact
that one of the great advantages OF
weighing the milk every day, from
each COW, is that 1t gives one a quick
check on any condition that brings
about discomfort to his animals. II
any COW shows a dropping off OF her
milk flow, as rule little observa-
ton VII show that she has been made
uncomfortable In some of the WAYS
mentioned above; and. knowing these
facts. the farmer Is able to check
these unfavorable conditions quickly.
One of the points that Mr.. McLeran
especially emphasizes is the import
ance of not allowing the cows to st7y
out In the winter when they are un-
comfortable. lie states that good
way to determine this is to take off
your coat and 90 out In the yard with
the COWS. stand around and act Just
as the cows do. When you begin to
feel uncomfortable and feel like going
into tho house. put the cows in the
barn.

Wolf and Dog Proof Fence for Sheep.

pose better and would make very ser
viceable animals In other respects in
helping to attend to large flocks. The
best protection against wolves for the
fiocks, however, would be wolf-tight
woven wire fence, with barb wires
stretched at the top SO as to prevent
the wolves from getting over and into
the sheep pastures. Such fence
must also be built close to the ground
to present the wolves from digging
their way through underneath. A barb
wire stretched tightly along the
ground line will be very serviceable
in this respect. The woven wire fence
should be at least as high as any
farm fence ordinarily in use is, and
pieces of 2x4's should be nailed OF

ample. the oyster is easily digested
but is not as nutritious as we once
supposed 1t to be. Gelatine is easily
digested but is of little value as q

grains.
