strange mixer often makes the
COW nervous.
One bit Of impurity in the pail may
spoil a whole dairy's milking.
Sunlight and pure air are absolute
Iy necessary in the dairy barn.
Dairy farming is one of the most
permanent systems of agriculture.
Just because COW is dry is no
sign that she does not need any feed.
The by-products of the dairy In
crease the earning capacity OF the
farm.
The constant demand for good
dairy stock makes II a bad policy to
sell the good heifers.
The successful dairyman endeavors
to raise all the feed needed for his
COWS on his own farm.
Success lies not in the number Of
COWS that a man keeps. but rather
the kind Of cows he keeps.
The per cent Of butter fat In a
COWS milk is not a sure index to her
capacity as a butter-maker.
The profit OF COW depends upon
the amount that she yields above the
actual cost Of feed and care.
Shrinking cows can, hardly be
brought up again this season. Do
your best to make them hold up.
The separator should be placed
where the light is good. Working in
dark place is always a disadvan-
tage.

SKIM MILK GIVEN TO CALVES
Best Way to Make Use Of 6y-Proouet,
But Not Unless Done In Right
Way--Makes Good Veal.

About. the most satisfactory way to
use skinned milk is to feed 1t to
calves, but not unless 1t is done In
the right way. Sour, cold milk In
dirty pals will not make profitable
growth and is out Of the question for
veal calves. Skinned milk viii make
first class veal and the calves will
grow nearly az fast, make as heavy
weight and sell for the same price
per pound as IL fed on whole milk.
But the milk must be fresh from the
separator, and pals must be washed
every day. The calf must be fed reg
ularly and three times per day is
better than twice per day, as Calls
stomach is small, much smaller in
proportion to his size than that of a
COW. Even the veal calf should be
encouraged to take all the grain that
he will. Cheap -four added TO the
milk is quite important in making
growth. The calf will consume more
skinned milk than he would Of the
whole milk. but the extra cost is not
very important, since skinned milk
is not reckoned very high in the mar
ket. Raising veal calves by SKINNED
milk requires some care and intelli-
gence. One feed of milk In the wrong
condition will check the calf's growth
and make the buyer find fault or re-
fuse to pay the whole milk calf price.
Raising calves for growth is anoth-
er matter requiring somewhat less
scrupulous care. Most of the trouble
usually comes from feeding them in
old dirty pals with stale soured milk
in the corners full of germs which
produce scours and intestinal trou-
bles. Btu they will grow well on
skinned milk fed with reasonable
care At the Wisconsin station ito as
concluded that to raise calf on whole
milk is four times as expensive "
to raise 1t on skinned milk. although
the whole milk calves will grow a lit
tie faster, but 1t costs very much more
per pound to get the growth The
skinned milk calves consume about
twice as much grain as the others. but
two pounds Of grain would take the
place Of one pound of butter fat in
the whole milk. OF course, a dairy
man cannot afford to feed cream to
his calves when grain win answer
the purpose.

Fort Dodge, Aug .2S.-Since early
yesterday morning the street car sys-
tenn has been paralyzed and there has
not been an 1nteruroan car in the city
since Saturday evening. The cause Of
the suspension Of the cars is that a
storm which ragged thru this part Of
the state tore down the wires used to
transmit the power to the cars and the
poles which held the wires were pulled
from the ground. The wind was the
worst that has visited this section for
some time and that there were no
deaths reported seems a miracle.
The storm did no damage in this To-
cality, but between Boxholm and Hope,
where the center Of the storm seemed
to be- there was much destruction Of
property.
It can not be learned as to whether
or not the crops were ruined near Box
holm, but It Is thought that they must
have been as the wind was strong

INSURANCE ADJUSTER HURT.
Low Benedict IN Hospital as the Re.
suit Of Failing Into a Pit.

Cedar Rapids. Aug. 26.-Because OF
the Jackson Grain Company's elevator
fire. Lew Benedict, one of the best
known insurance men in Cedar Rapids.
is in ST. Luke's hospital suffering from
a sprain in the back and confusion OF
the thigh which he sustained by falling
into an elevator pit in the Warf1eld-
Pratt-Howell Company's building.
AS an insurance man, Mr.. Benedict
was investigating the fire loss Satur-
day afternoon. About 4 o'clock he was
working in the basement OF the War
field Pratt-Howell Company building.
which narrowly ecaped being destroyed
by the grain elevator fire. The War
field Pra tt Howell Company had men
watching in the basement for any
chance Of fire. and in order that the
slightest blaze could be discovered i'm
mediately, all lights. except two lamps
over the elevator pit. were out.
Mr.. Benedict walked from a dark
portion OF the basement towards the
lights over the elevator pit, and be-
cause OF the darkness fell into it,
Mr.. Benedict's injuries are not con-
sidered serious and he probably will
be able to leave the hospital within a
few days.
