what had brought him there, he felt
Mr.. Wesley had reached the limit OF

FOR USE IN MILKING cow
Invention of Florida Man Provides
Vertical Partition Between Milk

The Scientific American In describ-
ing a sanitary structure and milking
appliance, invented by G. M. Lummis
of Fort Myers, Fla, says:
"This invention provides vertical
partition interposed between the COW

same with large opening over and in

The JERSEY Cow.

In proportion to her live weight the
Jersey is the largest mixer among
the dairy breeds, and she can be de-
pended upon to produce her product
economically, says the Country Gen
tleman. In the st. Louis breed test
the Jerseys consumed but 1855 pounds
of nutriment in producing a pound of
milk solids. To produce the same
weight Of milk solids the Holsteins
required 1888 pounds Of nutriment,
and other breeds still more. AS a
dairy producer the Jersey unites
quantity, quality and economy.

atable and the conditions for a maxi
mum milk flow are ideal. These con.
ditions, however, do not last very
long.
The silo comes as near to supplying
the ideal conditions as anything that
can be found, and it Is available every
day in the year. 1t provides a uniform
feed for every one Of the twelve
months
Highly sensitive dairy COWS resent
any sudden or violent change In feed
and will show it by a decreased milk
flow. The change from fall pasture
to dry feed is always followed by a
shrlnkage in the milk.
In changing from the pasture to the
silage, the change is not SO great, and
often the COWS increase the flow oil
milk when started on silage. Several
dairymen have recently made the
statement that the Increased profits
paid for the silo the first year.

could roll silver dollars down a hill
and then pick up two dollars for every
one he rolled down, and this statement

profits by the use OF the silo he be-

than to raise the selling price Of the
dairy products. The results are the
same; a large net profit.
In the corn plant about 40 per cent.
of the feeding value is in the stalk
and SO per cent In the ear. When the
ear alone is fed, nearly half of the
corn crop Is wasted
Where the dry stalks are fed at

almost nothing.
