Dairying in Dry
Land Farming

do not get more than $l2, per year
per COW.
The dry land farmers supply of
feed is constantly limited by the
sparse fall of rain, and for this
reason he needs the diary COW that
will make the most from every
pound of feed he can give her.
The selection of the COW is of first
concern.
The largest returns are secured
from COWS of the extreme dairy
type and of the Holstein- Guernsey
and Jersey and Milking Shorthorn
breeds. The Improbable diary
COWS are those that convert most
of their feed into flesh and yield a
good quantity of milk for a few
months only. Many dry land
farmers do not have the money
to buy pure-bred diary cows with
and cannot give them the neces-
sary care, shelter and feed. Gen
orally the dry land farmer had
better secure his cows from neigh
boring herds of beef cattle. select
ing the cows with diary form that
are usually found in beef herds.
In selecting range cows for diary
herds there are three essential
points:
First: Great stomach capacity.
The dry land farmer can feed little
grain and his cows must daily eat
large quantities of grass, or rough
age to be profitable. This requires
ample room for storage, and to
secure it the COW must be deep
from back to belly, in front of the
hip bones and broad in the same
region. Avoid a round bellied COW
whose ribs are short, and a flat rib
bed COW. The ribs should be long
and we'll sprung providing for a
large paunch.
Second: The cows back should
be sharp and have little flesh when
she is in good condition. When
the feed is used to put thick flesh
on the back, as in the case with
beef cattle, it cannot go to produce
milk in the udder. The neck, Shout
ders, rump and thighs should be
thin Aeshed in the we'll fed animal.
Third: Ample room for the I'D
der and capacious udder when the
COW is fresh. The COW should be
we'll cut up behind, between the
legs, so that the udder can extend
we'll up towards the root of the
tail. The flank should be we'll
arched instead of level, as in the
. beef COW, giving room for the I'D
der and the udder should extend
well forward and not hang down.
The milk veins should be large
and the farther they extend for
ward the better. 1t is essential
that the milk wells, the openings
through which the milk veins pass
into the abdomen, should be large:
as large as the end of ones middle
finger.
The COW needs in the winter a
warm, dry shelter, free from draft.
| This can be made of straw or of
sod walls, and straw, or sod roofs,
if lumber cannot be afforded.
Bales of straw will last for years,
when used for stable walls, if the
top of the walls are protected from
rain. The cows in summer should
have a protection from the sun.
This should be placed on the high
est point in the pasture and can be
made by setting up posts and over
them a straw roof so high that the
COWS can't eat it. Such a shelter
will furnish shade and will be cool
when the wind blows through it.

OF SCHOOL TODAY UNITED IN
HoNoRING THE MEMORY OF
THE DEAD WARRIORS SLEEPING
IN THIS VICINITY.

Fifty years ago the boys were march
ing behind the shrll fife and the roll
ing drum. They marched away with
head erect and sturdy stride most of
them feeling that the war that had
been declared would be but glorious
holiday; that with few shots, which
some OF them would never hear, the
rebellion would be ended and the hol-
lday over.
Four long years OF the bitterest war
fare that the red pages OF history re-
cord followed the beginning Of that
holiday, and of the gallant bands that
set forth from farm and hillside, from
village and metropolis, from country
lane and city street. throughout the
broad reaches of the Northland, count
less thousands never returned. The
foe that was to be scattered with a
shot proved TO be OF the same mettle
as themselves, and the brothers OF
North and South wrestled amid blood
and carnage, until one fell exhausted.
.Wearily each dragged himself TO his
home and took up anew the pursuits
of peace.
III memory of tho brother clad in
blue who fell in Dixie and OF those
who, since the fearful struggle have
lain down to rest beneath the shadow
of their own vine and flg trees, this
day is set aside a sacred holiday. The
