DAIRY NOTES..

The dairy cows ration should be
governed by her ability to turn /, 10
profit.
Strong, thrifty calves cannot be ex.
pected from cows that have been fed
starvation rations for a few months
before calving.
Certain foods known to possess lax
alive qualities should have a place In
every dairy mans ration for his cows.
especially If dry foods are largely
utilized in feeding them.
The mixer who will thump a COW
for squirming under the attack of flies
ought to be hoisted out of the barn
on the toe of the ~dairyman's boots.
Why should the hired man be ex.
pected to work ten hours or more in
the harvest field and then while hot
and dirty, tackle the milking job?
In some states. the law is that all
milk after July | must be ~pasteurized
before leaving the creamery. In Den
mark. milk is p%asteurized at all times.
Need not expect cows TO keep up the
milk flow during the taii-end of sum
mer unless you have plenty of soiliug
crops to feed. Dead grass does not
produce milk.
A flvs doi,a. bill will buy Il detec-
tive in the form of u Babcock tester,
which will show up every COW In the
herd that does not earn her keep.
After the roasting ears have been
picked the stalks and leaves will taste
mighty good to the cows.
Keep the calves clean and comfort.
able. They are the cattle of next
year and animal comfort means ami
NAL growth.
1t is just as wasteful to feed too
little as 1t Is to iced to much, and
wasteful methods cannot be afforded
now by anyone.
The dairyman who takes his money
out of the savings bank to build a silo
makes a good investment Of Idle cap
ital.
The chemist cannot find that a silo
adds anything to the nutritive ele-
ments in a cornstalk, but It does add
palatability and this counts for a
great deal.

is so rare that list of alleged cases may
be quickly compiled. The expert here
quoted admits that psychic shocks may
appear to cause blanching of the hair
within a comparatively short time-a few
weeks, perhaps-but he deals only with
alleged instantaneous cases.

Birds and Their Friends.

From the Boston Transcript.
Every new census furnishes ground for
a fresh boast of our increase in popula-
ton. Could we apply the process Of
enumeration to the bird life Of the coun-
try we should find a constant decrease in
numbers and that would furnish cause Of
humiliation. 1t would convict US of willful
folly, because when let alone the birds
will increase and multiply. Moreover we
have been unfortunate in our importa-
tons. AS the natives diminished we
sought to fill their places by some va
riety that would do the work they so
we'll understood and we brought over the

prolific. 1t has increased and multiplied.

also have many other moths and their

of mounting bogeys in the cherry trees
they put up bird-houses In the orchards

from disturbance that the birds are more
than half domesticated and repay these
attentions many times over by the pro-
lection they give to foliage and crops.

NO HARM IN 1T.
Newport News Times-Herald.l

The lines of the Baylor SURVEY are
not sacred, although some people seem
70 think so. True, the natural rock
belongs to the people and is not to be
taken away from them for private gain.
but there is much territory in the BAYLOR
Survey which does not contain anv
natural rock. The line is now so uncer-
tain that it is hard for any man to say.
even when on the grounds, where the
limits are. The bill now before the
general assembly merely proposes to
straighten the lines and define them az
indicated in the map recently printed in
the Times-Herald. We do not see what
harm can be done by changing the lines
as indicated. We do not see any great
good to accrue to the oyster industry.
but the measure is harmless. True. II
leaves out little rock here and there.
but not enough, rs we understand it. to
amount to any loss to the public. As a
police measure, however, it is good and
a desirable change. Unquestionablv
the rock within the new lines could be
FAR better protected and with far less
trouble and cost than can be as the case
now stands.
Commissioner Lee and his associates
on the board are in hearty accord with
the Byrd-Wickham bill. In fact it is
their bill and it should not be rejected
merely on the score that it breaks the
Baylor Survey" and is the entering
wedge. The Commissioner offers it as
an improvement over the present law.
1t should be given a trial.
The great need in the oyster industry
is greater supply of seed oysters and
a better quality. The proposed law
will give better protection to the seed
beds and that is greatly to be desired.

noon. He said in that survey Cant
Baylor had not examined the natural
rock and that as consequence some
valuable rock had been left out and
much barren bottom included. The
lines of the Baylor survey, he declared.
are irregular and erratic, where thew
exist, and in large part mythical. He
further declared that with the James
River situation as it now is it is i'm.
possible to police the territory and pro-
tect the States interests, as the officers
are often unable to determine whether
or not a longer is poaching.
DIR. Moore is convinced that the rem
edy lies IN Strengthening the lines as
indicated in Commissioner Lees chart.
His only criticism of those lines is that
they are not so circumspect as thew
should be. The lines exclude 400
acres OF oyster bottoms, so-called, in q.
total acreage of $4,000. In the ,err;si
tory excluded there are about $50
acres of real value, and all told about
$4,000 bushels of oysters out of total
in the entire district of $50, 600 bushels
There is nothing alarming in that ex,
hibit.

that if the lines are changed as he bro
poses, what is now 1000 acres of rock
he will turn into 5000 acres.
