pecially in cold weather. Ground oats
mixed with grain and a pail of warm
water a be given. for it will be found
that her feverish and exhausted con-
dition at this time demands consider
able water, and 1t Is much better to be
given warm than cold. She should not
be exposed to cold drafts Of air.
At the beginning of her milking peri
cd the cow should be fed very lightly
of grain, but a liberal allowance Of
good silage, roots and hay. As she
gains strength and resumes her normal
condition the grain portion of her ra-
ton may be increased. The increase
may be kept up as long as the animal
responds to the extra feed. When she
has reached her maximum flow Of milk
she should be fed a little less grain.
The time to establish the milk flow
the COW is when she is fresh. It
should take three to four weeks to
bring her to a full flow of milk and to
eating a full ration. There is no other
time in the period Of ~lactation when
care and judicious feeding have a more
important bearing upon her years rec
ord. The dairy cow should be fed lib
orally, but care should be taken not to
overfeed her and carry her beyond her
capacity. This works injury not only
to her milk function. but to her breed
ing powers.
With proper care and feeding there
Is little danger Of caked udders. If.
however, the udder becomes unduly
and painfully extended 1t may be re-
heved by withdrawing some of the con-
tents or by warm lamentations.

DRYING uo . Cow.

Cows permitted to continue their
natural lactation periods nine to ten
months will usually cease milking with
very little trouble. The observing
mixer or an experienced man with
cows will notice that when the anil
ma has been MIXED nine or ten
months and Is well along in the pc
Rod Of CESSATION she will show a dis
position to stop secreting milk. If the
mixer is ready to accept this situation
and leave some Of the milk In the nd
der for a few days after each milking
and then milk but once a day for a
short time, then every other day for a
few times, there will be little difficult
In drying on q cow successfully. OF
course care should be taken after
milking has ceased to look after her
udder for fear that accommodations may
form that should be removed.-Hoard's
Dairyman.

Assistant Secretary Andrew Re.

Washington, July A. Piatt An
drew has rendered his resignation to
President Taft as assistant secretary
Of the treasury.
III a spirited letter to the president,
Mr.. Andrew writes of conditions in
the treasury department, which are
alleged to be due to the attitude OF
Secretary MacVeagh toward many OF
his subordinates.
Some of the charges made by Mr..
Andrew are as follows:
That the secretary of the treasury's
idiosyncracies and incapacity for de-
cision have so hampered the depart.
ment that 1t is impossible t properly
conduct the work in 1t.
That important matters are neglect
ed by him for months, though sub
ordinates are brutally reprimanded
whenever acting on their own re-
sponsibility on matters of minor i'm.
p%ortance.
That the secretary imagines the
men he personally selected as his as
sistants are in a conspiracy against
him and frequently refuses to speak
to them for months at a time.
That letters addressed to him by
his assistants on matters of great Inn
portance are generally unanswered.
That many of the higher officials
OF the department are so dissatisfied
with the existing state of affairs that
they have frequently considered re-
signing.

LAMENESS IN HORSES.
Detection Of the Seat Of the Trouble 10
Often a Difficult Matter.

Lameness in horses is caused in a
great number Of ways and may be due
to many reasons, so it is not wise rash
ly to jump to conclusions when trying
to cure it. says the London Live Stock
Journal. l. may be due to diseases Of
the joints or to disordered functions Of
the muscles or tendons quite discon-
nected with the joints, or it may be
connected with the foot only. For in
stance, in the majority of cases when
lameness occurs in the hind leg there
is something wrong with the hook, but
lameness in the foreleg generally
means there is something wrong with
the foot joints.
1t is not enough to assume that you
have found the seat Of the lameness
because a certain part Of the leg Is
hot, for the shoulder may be hot, al
though the lameness is due to the foot.
The proper way Is to reckon up all
the symptoms that are apparent be-
fore coming to a conclusion. 1t Is not
always easy to detect whether the
fore or the hind limb Is the trouble,
but a good guide is often afforded by
noticing how the horse stands.
If the fore leg is lame he will stand
with his hind legs under his abdomen,
resting alternately on each fore leg.
And another thing to notice is that
zach tima ha mnyos ha lifts hic haad
up in a painful, unhappy looking way.
But II 1t is the back leg he stands in
just the opposite way and keeps his
head down and treads gingerly or else
he walks on three legs.
One is apt to make the mistake
when tying the horse. which is often
the only method of discovering lame

COW CARE BEFORE
and AFTER CALVING,

The dairy COW when dry should be
fed chiefly on roughage. A small al
lowance Of grain. say two pounds dai
ly. will be quite enough. provided she
Is in reasonably good physical condi
ton. and it is we'll to have ii rich in
protein. says Hoard's Dairyman.
Bran or oats or a mixture of bran
and oats with a little oilmeal or some
other feed rich in protein Is always
to be relied upon for a COW before
calving. Corn silage and roots are very
acceptable feeds if the COW has no pas
ture. In connection with the s%ucculent
feed the COW should have a liberal al
lowance of clover or alfalfa hay or
some other roughage rich in protein.
A COW 1T this time should not be fed
more r~oughage than she will eat up
clean. II fed too literally there is dan
ger Of her getting into the habit o. eat
ing the most palatable parts of the
roughage and wasting much good feed.
A COW on pasture needs no grain. but II
little roughage would be very accepta-
BILE. OF course if the animal is thin in
flesh ii is we'll to feed some grain. The
amount must depend entirely upon the
condition Of the COW.
If the COW has been properly fed
there will be no necessity for giving any
medicine after calving. A bran mash
over which some warm water has been
poured is a very acceptable feed. es-

keeping the cows doing business at

policy are seen today In the splen-

made in all parts of Canada and

THE DAlRYMAN.

At least three weeks before
cows are due to calve the heavy
feed should be discontinued.
II from any cause a COW Is
very thin or weak she should re-
ceiye special strengthening food
before calving. Wheat bran and
linseed meal make the best COM
bination to give a freshening
cow.
Keep the young calves warm
If you are obliged to put up a
special stall for them and put
blankets on them.
The pals used for feeding the
calves should be scalded regu-
larry every time they are used.
Cold rains are much harder on
cows than dry cold. Damp cold
penetrates to the bones. Provide
dry shelter.
Turn separator with a steady
and uniform speed and flush
down with skimmilk or water at
end of separation.
