When farmer gets SO he under
stands that practically ell questions
concerning the handling of live stock
successfully so as to make money for
him are Included in the meaning Of
the word comfort he has learned a
whole lot. says Kansas Farmer. Keep
ing the animals comfortable means to
keep them we'll fed. but not overfed
1t means to give them clean and dry
sleeping quarters. with plenty Of clean
water to drink and good clean place
on which to eat. A hog is not nat
urally dirty animal. He likes clean
bath. and he likes to eat in clean
place. II his owner deprives him Of
these things he retaliates by develop
ing some disorder or disease. A hog

filth has accumulated for years and
where the only cleansing agencies have
been the wind and rain. should not
be blamed for coughing when the dust
gets into his lungs or for picking up
any stray germ that might be lying
around. OF all the uses to which CO.
ment has been put on the farm there
Is perhaps none more important or
more valuable than that Of building
feeding floor for the hog.

The Boarder In the Dairy.

The "boarder" cow that Is. the COW
which does not pay for her keep--is to
the dairyman like milestone around
his neck. The scrub is the COW that
has given dairying an unfavorable rep
utatlon. Just why the dairynan re.
fuses to give up his old ways and
adopt such radical changes as are nec-
essary to convert an Improbable herd
into a profitable herd has always been
a mystery In dairying. We have never
known man who expressed anything
but the greatest satisfaction with his
dairy operations when he knew that
he was milking profitable cows. SAYS
Kansas Farmer. On the other hand.
we never knew man to speak we'll

cows were not paying There are hun

feeding may be detected in a short
time by the increase in weight or the
COW being or feed
During the winter succulent feeds
are very important BY the term sue
culent iced is meant feed having the
property possessed by green grass.
This IL desirable not only from Its
food value. but it also serves to keep
the digestive organs In gYod condition.
\ In the corn belt the succulent feed
usually is silage. Roots may be used.
but they are more expensive than corn
silage.
The ratiou should contain a certain
amount Of grain In proportion to the
amount OF roughage. Roughage, such
as hay and silage. should form the
foundation for the ration. A COW
should have all this she will clean up.
The grain ration Is regulated by the
amount Of milk produced. Feeding
one pound Of grain for each three
pounds of milk produced gives very
satisfactory results. A COW producing
very rich milk. however. should have
little more than this amount
In winter the cows should be kept in
dry quarters and protected from the
cold. The barn need not be expensive.
but should be clean. warm and well
ventilated. Cold water should not be
given to the cows in winter. Warm It
to about Go or 20 degrees. Cows often
give one pound less Of milk day
when forced to drink cold water.

Exercise For Brood Sowa

See that the brood sows take exercise
and that they get succulent food Ii is
doubtful II any other factor in hog
raising has brought about quite as
much injury as the practice OF placing
brood sows In little pens. preventing
them from getting juicy roots or green
foods and cutting off their opportunity
FOR exercise entirely. The run of the
pasture field. or in the winter of rye
or wheat lots. or in fall OF harvesting

cleaning up old meadows. all add v.gor

tai:"- of plenty CT sunshine. pure
: air. tight floors. walls that are
. easily kept clean and comforta-
; bic stalls.
The more grain there Is in
silnEe the better ii will he. ST.
lage can vary in quality as much
as corn fodder. ana this should
be remembered when comparing
results with some other feed.
; Good bright corn fodder is
worth more than timothy hay to
; feed the cows. but it won't
bring AS much Oh the market.
The good pasture fills the milk
pail. and the silo does the same
in the winter.
The silo is one of the funda-
mental necessities for profitable
winter dairying.

Sheep Wisdom,

Good sheep are good property at
any time.
For fitting sheep for winter no bet.
ter feed can be found than just plain
oats.
1t takes more to make a yearling
lamb gain than it does one four months
younger. Think always of the cost and
act accordingly.
Don't send any of the lambs to mar
ket in thin condition. The buyers dis
criminate against them. and they so
for less than their real worth.

CAUSES OF WEAK LAMBS.
Mcager Rations and Exposure Reduce
the Ewes Vitality.

Mcager Rations and Exposure Reduce
the Ewes Vitality.
Weak lambs ut birth are one of the
most perplexing difficulties. the cause
Of which may be traced to various
sources. writes w. II. Underwood In
the Iowa Homestead. Lack of proper
assimilative ability on the part OF the
female may weaken the growth OF the
fetus during the stage of develop
ment. This condition is more prev
aient among old ewes which have lost
their teeth. However. poor assimila
ton may be brought on In young ewes
through weak digestive organs. I'm
thriftiness is one Of the most apparent
evidences OF poor assimilative ability
and can generally he reInedied in the
case Of young animals by sorting out
and feeding extra with variety Of
foods until the system reguins it's nor
NAL condition.
The cause of weak lambs at birth
can frequently be traced to a too
limited ration. Many flock owners
carry the idea that sheep. unlike the
dairy COW, can survive on a much mar
rover range Of diet. This il very
erroneous impression. In order to
properly mature their unborn progeny
they need to be supplied with ration
varying in its composition to ~ mark
ed an extent as any animal. A ration
composed Of clover hay. corn stOver.
oat straw and silage. II available.
should constitute the range Of rough
ness. The grain ration should be Sc
lected with care. Oats, bran. little
corn and oilmeal make good ration.
Exposure to variable weather condi-
lions during winter influences the de-
velopment Of the fetus, and In some
instances It is a cause Of weak lambs
at parturitioh. When weather Is IA.
vorable pregnant ewes should have ac-
cess to large yard Of exercising. but
should never be allowed to remain In
drenching storms. When the fleece
becomes thoroughly soaked from rain
or snow the wool flbers mat and form
a cold blanket. which lowers the tenn
perature Of the body and retards the
escape Of waste matter from the sur
face. 1t requires an increased con-
sumption Of food to maintain an even
body temperature. thus imposing ad-
ditional labor upon the digestive sys-
tenn. which sooner or later weakens its
activity and influence In the develop
ment Of the fetus.
Those who desire to obtain the high.
est percentage of strong, healthy
lambs at birth can well afford to give
special attention to the eve flock dur
Ing the period Of pregnancy. The ra-
ton should be regularly and judicious-
" supplied. 1t should possess sufficient
nutrition to maintain the parent body
IN strong. vigorous condition. and
also supply the fetus. which is under
constant development, with proper
nOurishment.
The yard should he spacious. dry
and. II possible. with southern ex.
posture. The shelter should possess
good ventilation and plenty Of sunshine
and should he kept In such condition
that the ewes will occupy it from
choice rather than from compulslon.

FEEDING DAIRY
COWS FOR PROFIT

Many good cows that might make
brilliant records are never heard from
because they are not properly cared
for. They get ordinary care: conse-
quently their production is ordinary.
Feed aud care. says o. L. Reed. pro-
fessor of dairy lusbandry at the Kan
sas Agricultural college. are two of
the three most important factors de-
termining the profits from dairy cows
Even IN small herd. says Professor
Reed. 1t will pay the owner to keep an
individual record of every COW One
giving less than 1000 pounds of milk
a year should be sold.
To obtain the best results from feed
ing cows they must be fed as individ-
uals and not as a herd. When fed as
a herd some cows are overfed. while
others are underfed. A desirable sys.
TEN is to feed according to the amount
of milk produced.
The main object An feeding is to sup
ply sufficient quantity Of feed ut all
times to satisfy the appetite and feed
Ing capacity Of the animal and to fur.
nish the amount Of nutrients needed
for the work the cow Is doing
Undertaking is more common than
Overfeeding. The effect of underfeed
ing may not be noticed at once. as the
COW will produce the milk at the ex.
pense of the fat stored within the
body. II the COW declines in weight
while producing milk it shows that
she is not receiving enough feed. Over
