FLIES AND LIVE STOCK.

Where do the Fostering flies come
from? Did yon ever think, Mr..
Farmer? They hatch their eggs in
manure. Those wriggling worms you
see in the gutter of the unclean COW
barn or horse stable will soon become
fiies-millions of them to poster stock
and increase the feed bills.
Keep the stables clean, sprinkle
air-slacked lime or some prepared
disinfectant over the cutters and
floors and scatter some on the manure
you last threw out on the pile.
Of course, those who take the man
ure out daily to the field, as all
should do will not have so many flies,
but there will be enough at that.
Darken the stables. screen the doors
and windows and even then the fly
will be waiting on the outside to get
in his work on the live stock as soon

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Question:: What causes curd flakes
to form in the butter while churning?
[ have fresh COW and can churn in
from two to five minutes in a small
dash churn. | infer that it is due to
some condition of the cream as the
butter is sometimes much worse than
others. | churn twice a week SO am
sure it is not over sour. The butter
is splendid only for this. My last
churning of butter was hardly like
butter on account of it. Mrs. E. V.
J. Burton, Wash.
Answer: Curd PARTICLES in butter
are usually the result of overripe
cream. When the cream is low in
fat there is a greater tendency toward
hard curd which may result in white
specks. Pouring warm cream into
cold cream will cause white curds in
butter made from it. Strain the
cream into the churn and the white
specks will be reduced TO a minimum.

mich COWS. Some say the first cut
ting or probably the second. while
others prefer the fourth. Will you
tell me with you think best? A. b.
f. Seattle, Wash.
Answer: Alfalfa hay is most valu-
able feed for dairy COWS. 1t makes
very little Offence which cutting of
alfalfa is used; while the second cut
ting may be the best in one locality,
the third or fourth may be the best
in another. This difference is due to
the fact that the climate or curing
conditions are not the same.

The way out is to use, in addition
to all the precaution you can take,
good "ty killer" such as is offered
on the market with guarantee and
a record back of it. The cost is small
and the benefits far reaching. Moth
ing is more pitiful to see than herd
of cows fighting flies in the pasture
from mornin until night, when few
moments work in spraying with a
reliable fly Iepellant will keep the
flies off and provide comfort for the
animals. This fly question is an i'm
portant matter and too often lost
sight of by stockmen. Let us empha
size the Importance of getting after
the flies in sane, economical way.

Answer: 1t is not possible to de-
termine what is wrong with your COW
from your inquiry. You may expect
the bowels to loosen up when the COW
is turned on pasture. good dairy
COW never stays fat when producing

Question: | have COW six or seven
years old that came fresh in January.
She is in good flesh and apparently
all right every way except that she
has not come in heat yet. Can any
thing be done to bring that about!
The calf was taken away Immediately
to raise by hand. The COW was bought
in the fall so her former habits are
not known by me. L. A. Ell. Sedro
Woolley, Wash.
Answer: Cows differ greatly in
the length of time before they come
in heat after calving. 1t is probably
habit of the COW to show no signs
of heat. By leading her to the bull
each day you may be able to get hel
bred. 1t may be we'll to consult a
veterinarian if she continues to show
no signs Of heat.

weeks old and she seems to get worse
and her bag is swollen and has some
fever In it. The COW is in good flesh
and is apparently all right otherwise.
The first milking she gave bloody
milk from one teat, but now her milk
is all right; 1T takes about thirty
minutes to milk her and she gives
about two gallons. Do you think il
advisable to use her milk? l. M. S.
