orous and prepotent animal, which If
he is not he is a failure. should like
the calf to be fair representative of
his breed as to coloring and markings.
l will give some of my reasons for
wanting certain points. Brightness,
vigor and activity are the prime requi-
sites for prepotency. Large eyes, clean
cut features and good space between
the ribs denote good nerve force. which
every good dairy cow must have. Broad
muzzle and open nostrils denote good
lung power and appetite. The eight
milk teeth are the ones on the front of
the lower jaw and when well devel-
oped denote vitality.
Four fair sized. well placed rudimen-
tary teats ahead Of the scrotum is con-
sidered good dairy indication. The
skin should be soft. mellow and oily
with yellow color. The inside Of the
ear also should be oily with rich vel
low. This denotes quality in butter fat
1t is very essential that the calf be
properly treated and fed, especially In
the early stages Of his growth. The
first four months after birth he should
be given fresh whole milk. but not
over six quarts per day. Equal parts
of oats and bran and some alfalfa or
clover hay should be placed where the
animal can get at it conveniently. He
will soon learn to eat it. and 1t should
be left before him constantly. II the
young animal is very fractions a ring
should be put in his nose at nine or ten
months of age. but usually one year Is
soon enough. At two years Of age he
should be dehorned and another ring
put in bis nose. When leading the ami
NAL the proper way to use the rings is
to fasten the staff to one and rope to
the other

Pasture For Sheen.

AS warm weather approaches the
ewes with their lambs will soon be
leaving the yards for the pastures, and
unless proper precautions are taken
they are likely to be subjected to GER
tain dangers. One Of the most common
and harmful Of these to the lambs is
that Of becoming infested with para
site worms to which the ewes COM
monty become prey on the fall pas
lures. While in the yards they void
many Of these in their excreta and
cough and sneeze out others. On &C;
count Of the nature of their food lambs
kept in yards are not in much danger
Of becoming infected. but on the pas
lures it is different. Many of the va
rious kinds Of worms thus dropped
among the young grass have faculty
of crawling an inch or two up the
stalks and are eaten by the close biting
lambs. This is one of the reasons why
constant change of pasture is so de-
slrable for sheep and why pastures be-
come sheep sick."-Farm and Fire

ECONOMY OF THE
SILO ON THE FARM

When advocating the use of a silo to
those.who have none, says n. ]. Spen-
Ger In National Stockman, l am quite
often told that they are not able to
build silo, that silo is very expen-
s1ve to fill and If they had one that it
would be almost impossible to get corn
enough to oil 1t. In answer to the first
objection l would say that if he lost
one OF his work team he would find a
way to buy another horse, and as to
his affording to put up a silo, he will
ind that If he puts up a silo and puts
cement floors in his stable and uses his
straw for bedding, feeds out his hay
and silage on the farm and quits buy
ing so much feed and fertilizer, he and
his farm will both be better off.
l have tried three ways Of caring for
a crop OF corn-first. the old way of
cutting. shocking, husking and cutting
the stalks; second, cutting the corn.
shocking it and then using the husker
and shredder: third. putting 1t into the
silo green. I have figured as close as l
could on the expense and have found
that the difference was so small that I
would not know which one of the
three would be the cheapest next year,

as the weather conditions at time Of
doing the work would throw the bal
ance in favor of any one of the three
These figures were based on hiring all
the work done, and as always had to
hire labor to take care of fall crops,
was willing to do so at silage cutting
time.
AS to the third objection l will say
that there is no trouble If farmers
would use the right methods in rails
ing corn. In all the years that l used
the silo never lacked for corn to put
in my silo. One year | did not have
enough to fill 1T full. One other year
I filled the barn floor full besides the
silo and had more than l could feed
and carried over fifteen tons In the
bottom of my silo. When l came to
ill the silo the next fall | took about
five inches off the top. which l threw
away. The balance was in prime con-
dition, and | could not tell the differ
ence when | came to feed it out. This
Is great point in favor Of the silo.
as you cannot save over corn fodder
in the old way and have 1t palatable

What He Found Out.

1t takes tremendous amount of evil
dence to convince some farmers of the
mistake of keeping beef bred herd
Of cows for the profitable production of
milk. Mr.. X. Carruthers Of California
was a Shorthorn dairyman. He was
strongly tinctured. Of course. with the
doctrine of the dual purpose" But
at last his eyes weIe opened to the I'M
scientific and illogical character Of that
doctrine. and he changed to Jerseys.
Here is the way he sums up bis ex-
perience:
"The Jersey has done all I expected
as a producer. making two to three
times as much fat per cow as my scrub
herd Of mature cows. and fnd l can
keep three where I kept two Dur
hams"
What a waste Of revenue he saved
by making the change.-Hoard's Dairy
man.

Grain For Lambs.

As the lambs grow and require more
milk. increase the grain with judg-
ment. Arrange small pen separate
from the flock An opening just large
enough for a lamb to go through
should be made in a corner. In this
pen or room place small rack for
choice bits of clover hay and trough
for grain for the lambs. In this trough
keep a supply of cracked corn. crushed
oats and oilmeal. Clean the trough ev-
cry morning and put fresh feed In 1t.
In this way the lambs will make most
rapid growth and be ready for the
early market. When lambs are grown
rapidly the quality Of the meat is far
and away ahead Of that grown slowly.

valuable as the horse and far more

has no equal. Also. If breeding for

prices as the work horse. But when
you start to breed for mules, part1cu-

use, choose intelligent. kindly. round

naturally quick walkers and never lazy
or sluggish. OF course you will choose
sound animals. Don't try for big mules

become slow as they age. Anyway.

team day after day knows that the
medium size is the most satisfactory

DAIRY WISDOM.

Breeding is Of Importance In

Is what really counts.
. The dairyman who puts a low
value on skimmilk is not realiz-

. No breed of dairy cows can

. The heifer bred too early al

. and her milk flow Is shortened
. for all time.
. Cow testing associations are
being organized in many neigh

So many publications are preaching

assist some one in avoiding big mis-
take, writes e. A. Wendt In Rural
New Yorker. Don't buy or breed the
big fellows unless you have enough
heavy road work to keep them busy or
unless you breed them entirely for the
market
The big fellows are wonderful for
handling heavy loads on city streets or
on good roads. but put them in deep
mud. heavy sand or where the average
farmer most needs them. in loose, Gull

ruin. 1t is only plain common sense.

they are exceptionally long lived
and healthy and do not break down
early under high production Their
average milking period is said to
be three to five years longer than
other breeds. Their milk is rather
high in percentage Of butter fat,
testing little over per cent. The

are very successful when crossed
