RECORD OF A HoLsTEIN cow
Dairy Animal viii Make About Ten
Times Better Use Of Her Food Than
Good Steer.
CBy PROF. A. L. HACKER, Nebraska

CBy PROF A. L. HACKER, Nebraska

To illustrate the economic work OF
a good dairy COW in Transforming for
age and grain into human food,
wish to call attention to the record Of
a Holstein COW owned at the Ne
braska station. This COW produced in
one year 1880 pounds Of milk,
which contained 1871 per cent. of
solids, which is equivalent to 1903
pounds of total solids, which is large
ly assimilative and in the most favor
able condition for human food
A good steer at the proper age and
under the best methods of feeding will
increase his weight about $50 pounds
in a year. After deducting So or so
per cent. Of dressing, and IS per cent.
for water, we have remaining about
$50 pounds of nutriment as against
$500 pounds for the COW. In other
words "a good COW makes about ten
times better use of her food than a
good steer.
This l have given merely to illus
trate that where economy in the use
of stock food is necessary the dairy
COW will prove to be far better AMI
NAL in turning profits.

men realize. never chase the cows
home with a dog. But the animals
learn to recognize the voices of my
wife and children, and as soon as they
hear their names called come, because
they have been so handled that they
love to be petted, fondled and MIXED.
The Jersey COW is a highly develop
ed milk making machine. She has
been bred so long for this purpose
that her characteristics have become
fixed, and the descendants of we'll
bred dairy COW can be depended upon.
The amount Of milk that she will
make depends largely on the amount
of food that you can get her to use.

SKINNED MILK IS VALUABLE
Most important Of Al By-Produots on
Daily Farm-Eapeelally Good
for Young Animals.

Skinned milk Is the most impor.
tant Of all the by-products on a farm
In the dairy line. It Is worth from
10 cents TO 81 hundred pounds, ae-
cording to It's quality and the use that
Is made OF II.
Hand separator skinned milk ls OF
greater value and OF greater use than
skinned milk obtained by any other
method. Il gives better satisfaction
because the milk lie uniform every day,
II properly fed, skinned milk can
not be surpassed as food for young
animals. The greatest danger and
largest waste comes from overlooking,
especially young pigs and calves.
When the calf is two weeks old, It's
feed may be gradually changed from
whole milk until only the skinned
milk Is fed Calves seem TO thrive
better on the warm skinned milk
from the hand separator than on the
creamery. where the milk OF several
hundred cows is mixed
II the chickens are fed on skinned
milk and allowed a free range. they
will grow very fast In feeding milk
to chickens II is greater economy to
let the milk stand until Il is thick.
Skinned milk is a very satisfactory
pig food. Pigs seem naturally In
clined TO the sour rather than the
sweet milk, but in either case grain
must be fed in order to make a bal
anced ration.

Select the milking-stool for comfort,
not for a club.
The best pasture fence is good feed
in the pasture.
A suspected COW should be tested
with tuberculin.
A dark stable helps keep the cows
quiet at milking time.
In milking it is the last few pulls
that produce the profits.
The making Of butter on the farm
is almost a thing of the past.
Cream testing above 35 will keep
sweet longer than that testing lower.
The good dairy COW eats largely,
iigests amply and milks abundantly.
An old gunnVsack thrown over q
cow is better than nothing to keep of
the flies.
A bit Of grain in the manger at milk

Cows, to do their best, should have
some green or succulent feed every
day in the year.
The hotter the weather the hotter
the water should be with which the

tells how an operetta company discoV-
cred when It reached Toronto, Canada,
from New York that the music for the
orchestra had been left behind. What
was to be done? The performance
must be given at night, and no copies
of the score could be bought. It was
decided that the score must be dis
patched by telegraph. So, the story
runs, a wire was kept working for
seven hours, while a man in New York
translated the score into the alphabet,
stating the position Of every note. Up
in Canada the musical director was
busy at work turning the dispatch into
musical notation.
