Tho Care Of Lambs,

At eight to ten days Of age lambs
will begin to eat. At that time q
creep should be built which will give
them access to feed box containing
grain and a trough with hay. Box,
trough and feed should always be kept
sweet and clean.
A good grain ration for lambs 10
made as follows: Mix one-third part
Of oilmeal with one part each of bran,
oats and ine cornmeal. Red alfalfa
hay or the second cutting OF alfalfa
hay are the most desirable form of
roughage. OF the two alfalfa 10 to be
much preferred.
1t Is good idea to keep up the
grain feed right along until the lambs
are sent to market. BY 30 doing the
lambs are kept fat all the time and
are ready to be turned into cash on
short notice should the market take 4
sudden rise.

pounds of an animals live weight;
the dairy products and gc.' "a live

be assimilated in excess Of the sus-
tanning ration. Then II the 90O-pound
cow will produce as much dairy prod

COW, can we afford to carry this extra
500 pounds Of live weight for a term
Of 10 years at cost Of $4,000 pounds
of feed, just for the extra 500 pounds
of poor beef we would have at the end
of that time? Just the item Of extra
cost of barn room for the larger AMI
NAL for the 10 years would overbal.
ance the value OF the extra amount OF
beef. However, If there is such q
thing as a practical dual-purpose COW
1t Is to be found in some Of the fam
lilies of large Jerseys.
The popular demand for large COWS
made it necessary for me to carry a
family OF large Jerseys during the
last 20 years. This family Of cows
weighed from 1900 to 1900 pounds
each, but in our families Of smaller
COWS we had far greater proportion
that would make 2 pounds of butter
per day, and they would do 1t on lesi
feed.
Last but not least in this brief sum
ming up Of the most salient excellen
cies of the Jersey. place her beauty
No other member of the whole bovine
family can for moment compare
with her. She Is the prettiest COW
there is. Her prominent eye and ex
pressive countenance. together will
her alert, dress-parade attitude, vii
for her the admiration Of all lovers o
the beautiful. Her capabilities II
point Of looks are 80 great that 1t real
ly has to be admitted that in som
families beauty has been cultivated a
the expense Of other and more In
portant characteristics.

After q lifetime spent In learning
the business of keeping cows do not
hesitate to say to the young man
reared on a farm Farm; and II

stock, keep cows; and II you keep.
cows, keep Jersey cows" writes H. S.
Chapman in the Breeders Gazette.
OF course, add to this, III you keep
Jersey COWS, keep registered Jersey
cows. My reasons for maintaining
that the Jersey COW Is superior to all
others as a butter COW are as fol-
lows:
Her ability to produce butter and
cheese economically stands undisput-
I'd. Her record in many public tests.
Including the Chicago, st. Louis and
Portland expositions. has given her
the reputation, enviable and indisput-
able, Of being the worlds greatest but
ter COW.
The extra size OF the fat globules in
Jersey milk renders the butter OF
superior grain and f1rmness and more
easily separated from the cream.
The Jersey cow has the function OF
assimilation developed to greater
degree than any other breed. She is
high-grade specialist as a feeder
She will give profitable returns from
ration 80 rich (concentrated) that
other cows can not assimilate 1t. 1t Ii
this ability to stand force-feeding that
has brought the Jersey out ahead ir
so many public tests. This is merit
of the Jersey that can probably b.
taken advantage Of in a working dairy
herd. In the herd in which the rails
ing of stock Is the primary considera
ton would keep little closer to ma
ture, even at the risk of surrenderini
to some extent tho meritorious quail
ties that artificial conditions have pro
duced.
Superiority In numbers makes tn
Jersey a moro practical animal thai
her rivals. The animal that naturall
IL matched against the Jersey Is tn
Guernsey. The Guernsey has he
good points and doubtless merits tn
friends she has won. II you lik
Guernseys better than Jerseys, tha
may be a reason why you may succee
better with them. am frank to az
NIT that my personal preference fo
Jerseys doubtless has been a factor
my success with Jersevs. But settin
aside personal likes and dislikes, 1t 1
far easier for the beginner to stal
with Jerseys, because 30 many MOI
bulls Of that breed are kept than {
Guernseys. Consequently, there IL II
less excuse for inbreeding, and Ii
breeder easily can find the bloodlint
that he needs In his herd without tt
expense Of frequently buying a bull.

In turn to the students. who purchase

At all the best agricultural colleges
q girl learns all she needs to know
about farm. Besides the usual
courses in buttermaking and chicken
raising she learns practical farming,
zoology, chemistry landscape and win
dow gardening, etc. She is also taught
how to paint her house and decorate
her own walls
When she leaves the college she is
absolutely able to run on an economi-
cal and practical plan a home in the
country either for herself or rs partner
to an equally energetic husband.
A new era Is opening up to the farm

college which she has to thank for
this.

the way through. il mighty good
thing for girls nowadays.
