DAIRY BARN DOOR KEPT OPEN
One Of the Many Modern Convenien-
ces Of Farm Lifa That Tends
Materially to So e Steps.

In order to make fastener that
will keep the dairy barn door open,
first set good solid post for the door
to open out against. Make wooden
hook as shown in the illustration with
a sloping point eight inches from the
notch. This length Is sufficient to
make an easy bevel. A great many
hooks are too short and they work
hard. Fasten the hook to the side of
the door with heavy lag screw just
high enough UP to engage the bottom
OF the door. Put a weight on the
back end Of the hook, just heavy
enough to raise the catch.
At the top Of the post put
grooved pulley or an l. shaped lever
cut from a piece Of fiat iron, with
hole In each end and a larger hole
at the corner. Fasten 1t to the post
as shown In the illustration, says the
Farm Press. Attach = wire to the
weight and carry 1t over the pulley
or attach 1t to the outer arm Of the
lever. Hitch another wire to the top
end Of the level and carry 1t inside
the barn behind the door.
Put ring in the door to pull 1t
shut with another ring In the end OF

The best cows are the ones that the
careful dairyman raises for himself.
The best favored butter in the
world is made in private dairies--
and the worst, too.
To produce their full milk-givinA
capacity, cows should be kept as free
from disturbance as possible.
The silo enables the farmer to
carry more head Of stock than he
otherwise could be able to do.
Care and feeding the first two years
with the calves and heifers is where
many men succeed in raising stock
Some don't seem to realize the i'm
portance Of manipulating the udder
with the hand at the same time they
are milking.
No one man can develop a COW into
high producer unless that COW had
an inherited quality Of development
to start with.
Success In dairying demands that
man breed and develop his own
cows as far as possible, and buy. II
he must, wisely.
The COW with good appetite Is
apt to be the cheapest butter pro
Queer. Cows that are "finicky" are
not apt to be profitable.
A man should have good strong
hand and he should know how to
use 1t in order to get milk out of the
udder and get 1t out rapidly.
Few COW keepers know anythina
about the theory Of dairying. but
good one has got the practice down
fine. and this is what counts.
Have some lard or vaseline handy
to anoint sore teats Some teats and
tender udder often made the COW
kick when otherwise she would no,
do 10.

For Success In DaIryIno.

A man to make money in dairying
must be good feeder. He must
give ample feed and OF a kind that
will produce milk. Generous men
often give plenty of feed, but OF the
kind that fattens. Some men lose all
the profits by keeping ten cows on
the feed that would make FIVE yield
well. The most money Is made where
each COW is watched and fed individ.
ually, to force her to her best. A
thinking dairyman finds COW whose
feed is forcing her to give so much
milk that she is becoming weak. He
changes the ration to make it more
tattening.

HENS NEED MUCH EXERCISE
Quick Move, Brightest Comb
and Best Egg Record.

The question of exercise is one that
the poultrymen cannot study too care.
fully. To, keep in good health and
profit, all animal kind must take the
proper amount of exercise, or they
will become sluggish and diseased. It
Is not a very difficult matter to get
the hens down to work and If this
duty is involved upon them in early
life they will not forget their early
training" and will know that in order
to have everything to eat they must
work for 1t.
Exercise prevents overfat in fowls.
Overfat is diseased condition, the
penalty sooner or later being death.
A too-fat hen Is an Indifferent layer
producing eggs Of all shapes and con.
ditions. 1t is, generally. the over-fat
hen that lays soft-shelled eggs. It is
the breaking Of these eggs in the
nest that leads on to the vice Of egg
eating. One trouble after another
follows this neglect Of not having the
hens exercise.
The hen that scratches Is the one
that has the quick move, the bright.
est comb, the happy air, and the best
egg record. She Is business clean
through. The idle hen should not be
tolerated.
Early morning exercise is of untold
value, especially during cold weather.
II the fowl can get off the roost and
at once get down to scratching, It
will not only put itself into condition
for the day, but 1t will greedily pick
up its feed and properly digest It.
Contagious diseases do not, as a rule,
dnd victims in busy fowls--it is in.
variably the idler that takes to every.
thing that comes around. One of the
greatest reasons why the hens OF
today are better layers than they
were in our forefathers' days Is the
TACT that our present day poultrymen
have discovered that the fowls must
DO induced to exercise, and it is
rule to compel them to do so.

SUMMER FEEDING FOR cows
No Single Feed VIII Give All Eis
ments for Production Of Milk
Than Good Grass Pasture.

AT this time Of the year, when grass
Is coming out and growing at its best,
the average COW is allowed to secure
all of her feed from the pasture. 1t
is fact that there Is nothing to
beat good grass for dairy feed. 1t Is
also fact that no single feed will
give all the elements for the growth
and maintenance needs and the pro-
duction of milk It Is well to con-
tinue the feeding Of dry hay and grain
straight through all the summer
months, regardless of the quality and
quantity of grass secured by the milk
cows
There is another fact to be consid-
cred in feeding dairy cows on pasture.
The more supplementary feeds given
In the stall the less will the cows
eat In the pasture and the longer will
the pasture remain good. The aver
age pasture Is nlpped bare before the
middle of summer. and bare pastures
Is the complaint all over the coun-
try for August and September. II
hay and grain were given the cows
the better would late pastures be.
On nearly every farm some soiling
may be done. Rye can first be cut
and fed, and then follows green oats.
then early sweet corn, and after these
come late corn. peas and pumpkins II

green feeds, as suggested, be given

Advantages Of Weighing MIX.

One of the great advantage of
weighing the milk every day, from
each COW. is that 1t gives one quick
check on any condition that brings
about discomfort to his animals. II
any COW shows dropping off OF her
milk flow. as rule little observa-
ton will 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 unfavnrable conditions quickly
