CHOOSING BREEDING STOCK
Some Points 60 Remember When Sc.
leetins Cows and Bulls.

Some Points to Remember When So.
lsetins Cows and Bulls.
In selecting dairy cattle the real test
must be the scales and the Babcock
tester. The COW is machine to con-
vert food into milk; thus she must have
large middle and a strong constitu-
ton to insure best results. She must
also have large udder, large milk
wells, large crooked milk veins and
good sized teats. Her head should be
lean and angular In appearance, with
the eyes standing out prominently. The
neck should be rather long and lean In
appearance, the shoulders pointed and
the backbone rather prominent. The
skin should be loose and soft to the
touch.
In selecting herd. bulls either mature
animals which have already demon
strated their worth as sires or younger
animals from high testing dams and
sires only should be used. The best
and surest results will always follow
the use of a mature sire which has
sired heifers with good records.
A good dairy bull should be kept until
he is twelve or fifteen years old-in
fact. as long as he is sure sire. Real
good sires are so rare that when we do
find one he should die only Of old age.
All breeders of dairy cattle should Sc
cure yearly tests on each and every
COW in the herd. Shorter tests do not
really mean very much. 1t Is the COW
that stays by her job that is really
valuable. w. j. Kennedy. Iowa Elk.

and it is not caught by horses. sheep
or pigs. 1t is not contagious but,

soil of certain fields and is caught in
slight scratches. not deep wounds, due
to bushes or wire fences. An animal
with such u scratch lies on infected

keep hoaa Free From Worms.

It is a matter of general belief that
In very many cases hog cholera is not
hog cholera. says the Kansas Farmer.
In other words. when hogs die they are
generally said to be taken of with
cholera. when the facts are that it was
worms. and one of our Missouri read.
ers states that in his neigh5orhood a
considerable number Of pigs and shotes
were lost. but as the old hogs did not
sicken and die they made an investiga.
ton and found that 1t was not cholera,
as they had supposed. but that the
hogs were suffering from worms
There can be no doubt that intestinal
worms are the source Of very severe
losses. and. as they give rise to symp.
toms similar In some respects to those
If cholera. the hogs that die from
worms are very often thought to have
contracted the cholera. when little
are on the part Of the owner in ad-
ministering worm remedies would
have saved them.

Some Folks Consider Their Milk Bet
ter Than That Of Cows.
Having noticed in the journals de-
voted to rural and suburban life a
number Of articles on the milk goat.
I wish to add bit of my own ex-
perience. as 1t may help others who
are trying to solve the vexing ques-
ton Of the high cost Of living, says
correspondent of the American Ag-
riculturist.
The keeping Of milk goats will cut
the high cost Of living Of one very Inn
portant item. and that is milk. Milk to
be good and wholesome should be
free of tuberculosis. and that is an
ailment that the goat is not subject
to. The milk is equal to, and l con-
slider 1t better than. the best Of COW
milk.
The cost Of keeping goats where
you have to buy all the feed Is about 5
cents day per head. Six months
of the year the cost is practically moth
ing If you have a lawn or some back
land where the grass grows, as that
will keep them very nicely. No grain
is necessary when they can have all
the grass they want. Goats should
not be tethered on the same spot two
days in succession. It Is better to give
them about eight feet Of rope or light
chain and shift them once day. r.
A goat that will give two and a half
quarts day is considered very
good one OF course there are those
that give more, but they are fewer
than those that give less. The Toggen.
burg and Saanen breeds are considered
the best mixers adapted to American
climates.

THE sLEAr OF THE SHEEP.

Broad back and square shoul-
ders are marks Of q good sire.
You can keep 100 sheep on flfty
acres Of good land.
Too little value is generally
placed on first class males. A
noted breeder Of sheep once re-
fused to sell his best ram for
$1,000 and when asked why re-
piled that he could not afford to
sell such all animal unless he
was ready to 60 out Of the bust
ness Of breeding.
On high priced land the price
of wool should be q secondary
consideration. The lambs should
be depended on for the principal
profit.
Let the ewes have the run Of
the cornfields after the grain Is
taken out. They will get lots
Of good feed there.
Sheep and other nervous AMI
mails which are being fattened
for market should be kept as
quiet as possible or their feed
will not do them the most good.
The more you handle the live
stock in a gentle and confiding
way the better they will do.

BLACK LEG IS FATAL.
Bad Calf Disease May Be Prevented

Bad Calf Disease May Be Prevented
by Timely Use Of Vaccine.
Blackleg Of calves is almost invaria-
bly, fatal in twenty-four to thirty-six
hours and has so few symptoms that
the animal Is usually found dead or
nearly so with one or more swellings
resembling bruises on the side. belly
or the upper part Of the legs. The
owner usually assumes that the calf
was kicked or hooked to death and so
skins the animal and leaves the car
cass to spread the infection.
Blackleg may always be recognized
by the swellings which contain bub
bles of gas in black. clothed blood.
When the skin over the swelling is
rubbed 1t gives peculiar cracking
sound. The hide should never be
broken. hut the body buried deep and
covered with lime. After two years
cattle seem to be immune to blackleg.
