DAIRY NOTEs


A dairyman needs to be a thorough
business
Feed all the cows will take without
gaining in weight.
The ordinary milk o should drink
from ten to fifteen gallons of water a
day.
The calf should be fed only whole
milk until it is eleven days or two
weeks old.
The dairyman should be well IN
formed along all lines that pertain to
his work.
Save a bull calf from a COW that
has the long-milking habit and breed
from him.
If your cows are sleeping out doors
on the cold damp ground they are los.

Pool Ball In His Mouth.

Philadelphia. = Robert Wilson, a
youth living at 1890 North Eighth
street, made a bet with several COM
p~anions that he had the largest mouth
| n the crowd, and to prove his asse--
ton thrust a pool ball between his
jaws.
He won the wager, but lost several
teeth, for the ivory ball iatted his
mouth so well that 1t took two hours
work on the part of physicians at the
Children's Homeopathic hospital to re.
move tho ball, and that was accom-
plished only after the forceps ha6
been used.
Wilson walked to the hospital with
his friends. The physicians first told
him to force the ball out with his
tongue. His efforts were %unavailins
and the pain from his distended jaws
80 great that 1t was determined t.
iacrifce five fyont teeth.

San Sebastian, Spain.-At this
beautiful northern coast resort of
Spain King Alfonso XIII enjoys life
in his boyish, free fashion. Imagine
a great round bay so locked in that
its waters are a pond. High around
its edges circle the villas of the rich,
while along the sandy shore the Royal
Yacht club and bath houses adjoin
private beaches next to the great
hotels and the public promenade.
Along the sands the public bath
houses and gay tents flash all colors,
fairly soaked in sunlight, even in late
autumn. The stone promenade, bor-
dered by shade trees and forged iron
balustrades, continues round the bay,
through gorgeous parks and gardens
to the public gambling halls, with the
marble terraces and flowers, restau-
rants and cafes of one of the most
luxurious casinos of Europe. Back OF

Feed Box and Manager.

Of the top of the feed box. The hay
shoot should be about 16x20 inches.
This will allow the animal ample
room to get the hay out a mouthful
at a time. What hay and chaff falls
while eating falls on the platform
so arranged for it and the beast will
clean it up nicely without any waste
whatever.
The opening just above the manger
is for the convenience of the feeder.
One can feed corn, chops or any var
iety of feeds without going behind or
even into the stall where the animal
is.

CARING FOR COWS IN WINTER
Importance Of Good Shelter In Cold or
Stormy Weather Can Easily Be
Determined by Owner.

The importance Of good sheltering
in cold or stormy weather for milk
cows car be easily tested by any
owner of them. Let him shelter one
lot overnight and not to feed them;
then feed another lot all they want
and let them remain overnight out
doors in the wind and dampness. We
will be very much surprised If the
first lot does not give milk the
next morning than the second lot.
Many progressive dairymen recog-
nize the importance Of good shelter
for their stock-the stock providing
their income. On the other hand,
many stock owners who know the i'm
portance of feeding do not appear to
give the credit to housing, which they
should. Even on farms where there is
plenty of feed COWS fall off greatly
in milk production If the pasture on
which they are running is exposed to
the cold wind.
Neglect to provide shelter and
warmth causes the physical endurance
of the cattle to be SO unnecessarily
taxed that it is impossible to produce
the full quantity Of milk. Unfortu-
nately-especially with farmers and
villagers who keep only from one to
three cows-a system Of management
prevails which in numerous cases
practically allows the animals to find
their own living, to put up with the
cold of winter and the unshaded heat
Of summer, and to subsist to a cor.
siderable extent only on the natural
pasture. There are few parts Of the
world where this system works favor
ably. Treat the cows right and salts
factory results will not be looked for
in vain.

King Alfonso.

the palace the only sentry Is an old
veteran, wearing many decorations,
but unarmed. The Idea generally held
that the king of Spain lives surround
ed by an army to protect his life is
absurd. The MISUNDERSTANDING
escort-and the large military staff is
regularly invisible in its barracks be-
hind the palace and exists merely to
satisfy court protocol. When the royal
evenings after audience hours are
over, it Is no more protected than n
other well-to-do family of San Sebas-
tian.
Every day while in residence at
San Sebastian, the king, unaccom.
panied by soldiers, on foot, on horse
back, or in auto or carriage, can be
seen going about. We met him once
in a lone spot of the Corniche, writes
a traveller, attempting to clean three
plugs that had got choked by SCOT.
My French friends stopped and asked
the customary, Anything we can do?"
These plugs are choked with soot,"
ISplIeu AlIOISO. his was
respectfully offering new ones, when
our French friend-a pure automobile
crank like the king-explained that he
could clean those plugs by backing
rapidly up the slope.
That is what / said" cried Alfonso.
Gust! tumble in" and, with a very
tricky swing, he got his weight on the
crank and started the heavy motor
before his chauffeur knew what he
was up to, jumped in beside his only
companion, a silent military man, and
began backing up the slope at SECOND
speed.
Nov that is just the type of auto
mobile crank who will not let bis
chauffeur do a thing explained the
Frenchman. From this time Alfonso
nodded to us with a smile, content
that here were three men and a lady
who had see him, Alfonso, acting Is
a man.

Common Sense With Calf.

A calf two days old doesn't know
anything about drinking milk from
a pail. 1t must be taught to drink
and patience must be exercised on the
part of the teacher, We have seen
men kick a young calf because it
would not drink, and yet the calf knew
more at birth than did these men when
they first saw the light of day. Did
you ever see a little baby two days old
that knew enough to drink milk from
a pail? Do a little common sense rea.

to drink.

SOME HINTS ON SWEEPING
Broom In the Hands OF the Inesper-
enced Often Does More Harm
Than Good.

II Is not an easy matter to swesp
well, at any rate, If one judges by es-
%perience, for when a broom is put Ia
to the hands of the inexperienced
more harm than good generally results
from the use of it.
Light sweeping and soft brooms are
desirable. Many a carpet is prema-
turely worn out by careless sweeping
In sweeping thick piled carpets al
ways brush the way of the pile. BY
doing so it may be kept clean for
years; but If the broom is used In a
different way the dust will enter the
carpet and SOC destroy 1t.
If the carpet covers the whole floor
of the room and 1t is nailed down,
place the chairs and other articles of
furniture which can be easily moved
In the middle of the room, pin up the
curtains and cover the couch with an
old sheet.
Pieces of damp paper may be
sprinkled round the sides of the room,
and then sweep with a carpet broom
toward one place.
Take short strokes, being careful
not to raise the broom much. Sweep
the corners and edges with a small
whiskbroom.
Put two tablespoonfuls of ammonia
into one gallon of water; wiring a cloth
out of this and wipe the carpet. This
will remove the dust and help to
brighten the carpet.

HANDY ARRANGEMENT IN. BARN
Feed Box and Manager So Placed That

thing Without Wasting.

In arranging the feed box in the
manger or hay shoot by a little care,
We can soon save the first cost of
material and labor, if an arrange
ment is put in like the n shown.
The trough and manger should be at
such a height that the animal when
eating will have its head well up;
just the same as a natural position.
The trough or feed box should be two
feet long, two feet wide and foot deep.
1t will then be large enough in which
to put chopped feed without the ami
NAL throwing it out with its nose.
The platform under the hay shoot
should be four feet long, two feet
wide and two inches below the level

Value of Separator.

Where a separator is used the skim
milk is kept at home, fed out on the
farm, and as all of the fertilizing val
ue in milk is found in the skim milk.
this value is also saved and goes back
to, enrich the land. A cream separa
tor is a most wise investment for any
farmer who milks COWS. Many dairy,
men now own a gasoline engine and
use the same for turning the separator
as well as for all other power purposes
on the farm.

SHOW AND PRODUCING TYPES
Ayrshire Bred for Exhibition Has
Been Developed for Beauty Alone
Conformation Of udder.

There are two kinds of Ayrshires-
the show type and the producing
type. The show type has been devel-
oped and bred for beauty alone. The
genuine show udder must be compact
and closely attached, both before and
behind. The sole must be fiat with
no i~ndentations between the teats and
the udder must not protrude behind,
but be carried up even with the
thighs and have small, cylindrical
teats, evenly placed on the fat bot

Value Of Separator.

1t Is quite safe to say that a dairy
man with ten average cows yielding
five thousand pounds of milk each an
nually would, by the deep setting cold
water system, lose at least 800 pounds
of butter fat yearly, which would
amount to about $50. From this one
saving alone it can easily be figured
that a cream separator will pay for
itself every year in the saving Of
butter fat from the milk of ten cows.

that can be shown in many years in
succession and not become too pen

dairyman knows that this type Of I'D

tight, close, shallow udders started

years ago.

Ready to Give New
Type of Car a Trial

Awaiting impatiently the arrival of
pinions for the trucks of the new center
entrance car built for the Washington
Railway and Electric Company. officials
of that line declared today that if an
express company makes good its prom
ise the car will have its first try-out to-
morrow. 1t will take but a few min
utes to put the car on its trucks once
the pinions have arrived, 1t was stated
today.
The car has been for several days in
the shops of the company on p street
near the Rock Creek bridge, and COM
pany men, including Master Mechanic
w. A. Wenner, who designed the car,
are eager to see it tried out. The
general expectation Is that the street
car travelling public will take kindly
to il. The car was made from Mr. Wen
ner's plans by the G. j. Brill Company,
of Philadelphia.
The Brill Company has also delivered
to the Washington Railway and Elec-
trio Company the first two of the fifty
will be installed before May So 1t is
the intention to spread these cars over
several of the company's lines.
The center entrance car" as its
name indicates, has wide doors in the
middle of the car at the side, and II is
able to seat comfortably sixteen more
passengers than the companys old car
OF the same dimensions.
Furthermore II has a low car step,
low enough to please the leaders of the
