EXPERIMENT IN COW FEEDING
Result of Number of Tests Made by the North Carolina Station on
 Rations for Milk.

The North Carolina agricultural ex- pertinent station recently concluded a number of experiments to determine the relative efficiency of narrow and medium wide rations, for milk produc- tion, report of which has reached the department of agriculture,
 Eight COWS from three to six weeks In lactation were fed three periods of twenty-eight days each. In the first and third periods the feed consisted five parts of cottonseed meal, four quarts wheat bran, three parts of corn meal and fifty pounds of corn silage. The nutritive ratio of this ration was about IA.
 During the second period the ration was the same as the above except that 25 pounds of cottonseed meal was replaced by 2.5 pounds of corn meal, giving this ration a nutritive ration of about 157. The result of this test indicates that the narrow ration produced 7.5 per cent. more milk fat, and increased the fat test 0.24 per cent. and the live weight 30 pounds. The milk yield was practically the same

COWS SHOULD CALVE IN FAI
Dairy Department of the Universlt of Missouri Recommends This as |
 the Best Practice.

A number of reasons are given foH the practice of most dairymen of hay ing COWS calve In the fall instead of in the spring. The Dairy Department of the University of Missouri recom- mends this as the best practice in most cases, for some of the following reasons:
 Prices for milk and butter fat are highest in the winter, and it Is desir- able that the COW be fresh to give the maximum flow. When she begins to decline in the spring, the fresh grass of pastures will stimulate her to hold up to good production.
 Calves in the first few months of their growth are fed mostly by hand. In winter there Is more time to care for them properly. The grass of spring will come along just when they are getting started on rapid growth.
 "The dry period of the COW will come at the time of year when pas lures are usually poor in Missouri, and when flies are bad. This will g.ve relief to the COWS when. they need 1t, and will be easier for the milkers.
 'In cases where a regular milk trade is to be supplied, it is necessary to have the cows calve at intervals form flow, but where the farmer is selling cream it seems best to have the calves come in the fall.'

 Few dairymen now make butter to sell. The price paid for butter fat by creameries takes all the cream from the farm.

It is the amount of thought and applied energy. says Kansas Farmer. that causes a man to rise above the average. whether in dairy ing or wheat or corn growing.
 A dairy herd can't be built up by growing and hauling feed alone. The mans mind and the things the mind only can do will improve the herd.

CLEANING THE MILK VESSELS
Practical Dairyman Always Rinses Utensils With Cold Water, Then
 Scalds and Hangs in Sun.
(By M. R. JONES.)

There is one subject that I have never seen much written about, and the care of milk vessels. have seen so many people empty a vessel and take it to the kettle and pour boiling water in it. I always rinse my vessels out with cold water, and then wash with good warm water with borax or soda in 1t; then scald them well and dry, and it is best to have a place where you can hang them in the sun.

Rapacious Pike

The bikes reputation for cruelty and voraciousness is such that it has been popularly dubbed the water wolf" It is probable, however, that many species of sea fish are equally, if not great deal more, rapacious.
 Large dogfish, congers, pollack, cod, and bass are especially ferocious, while halibut will very often seize and kill other large fish. An English angler was playing" large conger

 There have been many examples of pike being found dead, choked by their own species, and these fish not infrequent attack another pike that has been hooked by a fisherman.
