Increasing the Milk Yield.
1t is impossible to increase the
milk yield Of any particular COW to
any great extent, no matter what the
care. feed and attention given her, ex-
cept during the period when the cow
is fresh. The proper time to begin
feeding the COW for best results lie
four or five weeks before freshening,
AS rule dairymen and farmers be-
lieve that the COW should have res,
and consequently turn her dry during
this time 1t Is then believed that
because she is giving no milk she re
quires little or no feed and, in conse
quence. she is turned out, II IN the

wrong, but greatly unreasonable.
Heavy feeding Immediately after
freshening is, of course, necessary IL
the COW has freshened in poor condi.

duction at small cost. It is very
necessary, too. that the COW be stimu.
lated to produce her greatest amount.
Of milk during the first 80 days after
freshening. because 1t is during this
period that her maternal instinct Il
more highly developed and most thor.
oughly excited. It is the result of the
development of the maternal instinct
which causes the COW to give milk at
all. Where 1t not for her instinct
which through motherhood induces
her to supply milk for her Offspring,
she would not give milk, and during
large portion of the year this IA.
stinct of maternity is of very little
consequence. and 1t is mistake to
allow the cow to produce small
amount Of milk Immediately after
freshening with the belief that at a
future time during her period Of
lactation it will be possible to increase
the yield to any perceptible degree.

Mother Ignores Her Offspring and

Northumberland care is not every

baby giraffe, whose mother will not

whist the chamois baby. whose moth

The baby giraffe. because the au-

feared he would never grow up, was
called Professionally Peter Pan. and.
when they found that his mother re-
fused to have anything to do with him.
Professionally was c,ritted from his
name, which then became plain Peter
Pan. feT it seemed SO certain that he
would lever attain mature stature.
And from then his mother, unduti.
full and cold hearted, steadily refused
to- have anything to do with him. In
fact, had he been left to her care, he
would be dead now.
But to his rescue came a mere man,

whole consequence is that she, being
robbed of the opportunity. never sees
the time when she can be very large
souce of profit to her owner. 1t Is
strange why farmers will persist In
caring for their dry COWS in this man
ne' because herein lies the secret Of
me great success in economical milk
and butter fat production. and were :

COWS In this country could be in
creased most quickly and certainly II
would be this one method OF feeding
them properly during the 80 days
which precede the freshening period
and the 30 days which follow.
Feed for a Purpose.
In his operations the feeder should
always have a definite purpose in
view, and he should bear in mind that
certain feeds will accomplish certain
purposes which other feeds absolute
ly will not. After the COW has been
turned dry. the purpose Of the ration
given her should be that of resting
the digestive apparatus. building up
the foetus, storing up strength and
stamina in the cows body by placing
there flesh and beef which can be
drawn upon at a later date. For the
purpose of fattening the COW there Is
nothing that is better than corn. but

that, as the cherries and the leaves of

his feet. His eyes would leave his

'Then noticed his fingers. They
appeared to be engaged In an act Of
truancy. One second they would slip
from the instrument and the next
they would leap guiltily back. Once
his whole hand darted swiftly to his
bosom and as quickly regained its po-
sition upon the instrument. And all
the time his eyes, body and feet kept
up their strange disorder.
And the little cat roamed serenely
about.
My oboe player was approaching
the point in the accompaniment at

gios. They are beautiful and quite an
essential part of the composition. I
wondered whether he would disgrace
our orchestra by missing them.

the orchestra was saved.

Paris.-The Academy Of Sciences
was startled at recent meeting by
the announcement of great step for

istry and physics of living things. 1t

in any way the Transformation of in
organic matter into an organism. But
it is the laboratory production of
chemical substances which In nature
are produced by living things. ex-
clusiyely-and by the same physical
process 7hich living things employ.
More thar half century ago the
famous Berthelot won his renown as
the greatest living chemist by this
compromising of what naturally are
organic products, from inorganic mat
ter--the synthesis of organic COM
pounds. His son, Daniel Berthelot, has
now made the synthesis by natures
own "chlorophyll assimila-
ton" This is the physical function
exercised by green plants in sunlight,
namely, thu Transforming of carbon
existing as a mineral into carbon ex-
tst1ng IN an organic state.
Plants do this by feeding on air;

The Cow Should Be Ia Good condi
tlon When Fresh.
Experiments recently carried on 20
to prove that COW f.eshening in
high flesh will not only milk heavier,
but will also test richer, the conse-
quence of which will of course result
in great deal larger production OF
milk and butter fat, and this is rea-
sonable to believe. There is one OBJ.
lection. of course. to having a COW
freshen In fleshy and plethoric CON
dition. namely, that she will be more
susceptible to milk fever and this, /
believe. is the reason handed down
from generation to generation which
has instilled the feeder with the idea
that the COW should be poor at time
of freshening. There was time
when 50 per cent of the COWS which
contracted milk fever died. At the
present time at least SO per cent. or
80 per cent. of the COWS which are af-
flicted with milk fever recover by the
use of the air treatment, which is
simple and inexpensive and can be
applied by the feeder himself If he
has access to milk fever outfit, or
otherwise he can depend upon the
local veterinarian. At parturition time
the heavy grain ration should be taken
away from the COW and her feed
should consist of nothing more than
hay and silage. together with light
bran mash which should continue to
be given her for two or three days
following treshening. At this time
she should be given small ration Of
solid foods and brought to full feed

son has successfully harnessed to his
uses the wonderful energy newly

sal nature-the radiant energy which
nature herself uses in Transforming

This new synthesis made by tho

Academy of Sciences by the venerable
Professor Jungfleisch, who wrought
for lifetime with Berthelot and sue
