DAIRY cows DURING SUMMER
Method of Handling Animals on Wash.
inqton Farm-Owner Prefers
Fall or Winter Calves.

The following Is the method OF
handling dairy COWS in summer on
the dairy farm Of L. H. Blanchard Of
Jefferson county, Wash. This dairy
farm has been such a success that 1t
has received national o
The dairy COWS on this farm r
given a small feed of hay early in the
morning. About eight o'clock the
COWS are turned out to pasture. At
oon they are stalled and given a feed
of green forage. Another such feed
is given at $3.50 p. m, and still an
other at 600 p. M, after which they
are turned out to pasture for the
night. The quantity given at each
of these feeding periods is governed
by the amount the COWS will clean up.
In feeding soiling crops 1t is impor-
the COWS at a time. After they have
mouthed over the green stuff for a
while they refuse to eat 1t and call
for fresh material. They should be
given only what they will EAT before
they have fouled 1t too much to relish.
When the hay Is of the best quail
ity no grain is fed during the soiling
period except when rye is fed. even
to fresh cows, but If the hay is not
of the best a small quantity Of grain
is fed fresh cows at the morning
feed.
The owner of this farm prefers to
raise fall and winter calves for the
dairy. 1t is more convenient under
his conditions to give them the att@n-
ton they need than in the case of
those born at other seasons. The
calves are allowed to nurse their dams
only once. After this they are fed
their mothers milk for two weeks.
The first week they are given two
quarts of milk in the morning, one
quart at noon, and two quarts In the
evening. The second week they are
given three quarts twice a day, morn
ming and evening. During the next
two weeks the feed of the calf con-
sists of half whole and half skim
milk. with a pinch of flax seed meal
added to it, about once at a feed. The
quantity of milk fed during this Pc
Rod (the second two weeks) is about
three quarts twice q day.
After a calf is a month old 1t is
given four quarts Of skim milk twice
a day, with an ounce of fax seed meal
and a handful of mixed orr meal
and ground oats. The calf is taught
to eat this by putting the mixture In
the milk a few times. Then the grain
is fed dry, after the skim milk. Feed
ing this dry material after the skim
milk is finished prevents the calves
from sucking each other when they
are let out of the ~stanchions in which
they are fed. The quantity Of grain
is gradually increased until at two
months of age the calf Is receiving
a quart of ths mixture a day. About
this time the feeding of a small guam
THY of roots and silage begins and
the calves are given all the hay they
will eat. Milk is fed until the calves
are six months old, sometimes long
er. They have access to fresh water
at all times.

ATTENTION TO BULLS FEET
Where Animal Is Rather Closely Con-
fined His Feet VIII Need Con-
siderable Trimming.

The feet of a bull demand more or
less attention, especially If he is rath-
err closely confined and getting a lib
eral supply of grain. The feet should
be trimmed so that the animal always
has the proper use of the same. Some
bulls are as easily handled as a gen
tie horse, and their feet can be
trimmed without the slightest diff
Guilty. However, this is rather the ex-
ception than the rule. The most sat
isfactory way is to put the animal in
stocks and raise 1t off its feet. Then,
by strappMg the foot to be trimmed,
solid to a beam, so that the sole will
be facing upward, the operation a
be executed with a pincers and chisel
in a few minutes. Care should be
taken to avoid cutting too deep or
into the sensitive part of the foot, as
this would be very likely to cause
bleeding and lameness.

thought I was doomed to starve to
death, until one day my husband, try
ing to find something l could retain,
brought home some Grape-Nuts.

with me, digested perfectly and with

PITIFUL SIGHT WITH ECZEMA

"a few days after birth We noticed
an inlamed spot on our baby's hip
which soon began spreading until
baby was completely covered even in
his eyes, ears and scalp. For eight
weeks he was bandaged from head to
foot. He could not have a stitch of
clothing on. Our regular physician
pronounced it chronic eczema. He Is
a very able physician and ranks with
the best in this locality, nevertheless,
the disease began spreading until
baby was completely covered. He
was losing flesh so rapidly that we be-
came alarmed and decided to try Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment.
mot until I commenced using Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment could we tell
what he looked like, as we dared not
wash him, and I had been putting one
application after another on him. On
removing the scale from his head the
hair came off, and left him entirely
bald, but since we have been using
Cuticura Soap and Ointment he has
as much hair as ever. Four weeks
after we began to use the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment he was entirely
cured. l don't believe anyone could
have eczema worse than our baby.
Before we used the Cuticura Rem
edies we could hardly look at him, he
was such a pitiful sight. He would
fuss until I would treat him, they
seemed to relieve him SO much. Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment stand by
themselves and the result they quick
ly and surely bring is their own rec
ommendation." (Signed) Mrs. T. B.
