What Testing Association Does.

There 10 often . much better spirit OF
enterprise, progress, and desire to put
themselves right among the dairy farm
ers in those sections where dairying Is
new than there 10 In tho older dairy dis
tricts. This has always looked strange
to US. Take this matter of COW testing
associations. II 10 great deal easier to
organize such an association in north
ern Wisconsin than In the southern part
of the state where the farmers have been
keeping COWS for thirty years. These
older farmers get very conceited and set
in the idea that they have nothing to
learn in this matter Of keeping COWS.
Yet wherever among them COW testing
association has been carried on for a
year, you will find a. many holes In the
skimmer az anywhere else. The trouble
is, these long time dairy farmers can't
see why they should not have . correct
idea of their cows. The fact is, no man
can have . correct idea unless he spends
q little money, time, and effort to know
what the exact outcome 10 in milk and
butterfat for each COW. It looks almost
ridiculous to see men hesitate about ac-
quiring this knowledge when It costs
only dollar per COW. As one farmer
said about himself, "Why, l found cows
that were running me in debt $40 to $l5
q year. 1t looks foolish to me not to
pay . dollar to find out such cow"
It is good to read OF the enthusiasm
shown BY some Of these Norwegian
farmers in Minnesota who have inaugu-
rated COW testing associations. They
are ot.foot after all the facts the COW
tester can dig out for them. Such men
will grow and prosper In dairy farming
while some OF their American bred
who fatter themselves they
know all about their cows, are steadily
losing money on their "star boarders.
The COW testing association tests the
brains Of the COW owner az we'll as milk.
ing capacity Of the COWS. That is one
reason why certain farmers do not take
to the test; they dread the light.

NOW, HARK.
A friendly man is friendly to bis cows.
He can't help being so; and they pay
him back In good milk and lots Of It.
THAT CALF.
He will come in great numbers this
month. Take good care of him. he is
needed all over the world to-day as nov.
.er before. The man who raises calves
to make up the deficiency In the stables
OF this country IL doing n good job as
the ono who makes speech that rings
across the continent and back again.
THE MOTHER COW.
It Is . critical time with her. II her
calf 10 By her side, feed her the choicest
food you can get till she regains her
strength. Some hay, some ensilage.
some grain and plenty of water, not too
cold. Many COW has paid with her
life for the mistake Of her owner 10 let
ting her drink too much ice cold water
too soon after dropping her calf.
SOME OATS.
A few oats are fine for the new milch
COW. They should be wet up good with
warm water and fed soon after the calf
comes. Three or four quarts will help
about the afterbirth. Wheat bran fed ss
mash is good for this too.
EXERCISE.
Every single day the COWS should have
chance to get all the fresll air there Is
going for little while. That does not
mean to let them get chilled. But few
minutes on even raw days will help the
blood to circulate and put new life and
vigor into the COW. She ought to have
it. For your sake and for her own.
FEED FOR THE WORK.
Often men shovel feed into the man
gers of all COWS alike. no matter what
they have to do-hsy, grain, everything,
on the same scale. 1t is not right. II .
COW is giving milk, feed for milk; If dry,
feed for the coming offspring.
KEEP COWS.
Not for boys play but for business.
Every kind of soil needs just what is to
be found In COW manure, nitrogen, pot
ash and phosphoric acid. You can not
keep up the goodness of your land II
you do not supply these things. You
can do 1t through the medium OF the
COW best of all.
BE KIND TO COWS.

they are used we'll or used III. You see
a COW put out her nose and want to lick
the hand or face OF the man who cares
for her and you will see COW that Is do.
ing business for her master. I don't
know how 1t 10, and do not care cent;
but do know that from money point
of view kindness is the thing with every
living creature.
MAKE THE MOST OF MANURE.
Don't let 1t waste against the side of
the barn. Get It out on the land and
get II to work for the soil. II left ex-
posed to wind and rain and sunshine, It

A Word on Feeding.

A large portion Of the dairy farmers Of
Wisconsin and northern Illinois, as we'll
az Minnesota and Michigan, confine theil
grain feeding for their cows to corn and
oats ground together In tho proportion
of two of oats to one OF corn 10 the ear.
They do this without any regard To
what their roughage may be, on the
principle that they raised the corn and
oats themselves. 1t is about useless to
reason with those men that such ra.
tion ia badly unbalanced II their rough
age is timothy hay, cornstalks or ensi'
lage. Such plan OF feeding simply
brings the cow down to her minimum

cess of starch and too little protein.

oats, but few have plenty Of alfalfa or
clover to help out In giving the COW
what she needs to make milk profitably.

Owing to the menacing Of the town
Of Orizaba by the rebels and the con-

Ramirez, in command of the garrison
at Orizaba, is fortifying the strategic
points about the city.
That the United States, II It succeeds
