THREE IMPORTANT PRINCIPLES
IN FEEDING A DAIRY cow.
Ey PROF. c. LARSEN.

% Feed the dairy COW a %succulent
feed. such as silage. Having silage or
the farm will enable the farmers to dc
winter dairying. Such a method is al
so convenient to the farmer. To com
pei the cows to go out into ~cornstalk
fields and behind the straw stack is moi
conducive to the greatest profit IL
dairy farming. Have the corn fodder
In tho silo. the hay In the barn, anC
the grain in the bin and have the COWS
freshen In the fall.
(2) Feed a balanced ration. Mar
selects or balances his own ration al
the table. but the COW must eat what
she IS given. All feeds may be classi
fled into two groups. Namely, those
that are rich in milk and muscle pro
ducing substances (protein), and those
that are rich in fat and heat produc.
ing substances (carbohydrates). The
common feeds belonging to the first
group are clover hay, alfalfa hay, and
bran. Those common feeds belonging
to the second group, or fat and heat
producing. corn, barley, wheat, oats
speltz, rye, corn fodder, wild hay, tim
othy hay. Some OF each of these
should be fed to a cow giving milk te
enable her TO do her best.
CD Feed a COW plenty. A COW
makes use OF her feed for two pur
poses: for maintaining the body, and
for milk production. She uses abou'
one-half for maintaining the body an.
the other half for milk. II she is cuj
down 10 per cent In her feed, then tho
milk she yields IS diminished by about

Handle the calves kindly.
Low.headed trees are best.
Feed hogs three times a day.
Red clover makes a fair grade of en-
silage.
Young chicks are babies-treat
them as such.
Selection is what brings results both
in crops and in animals.
Chicks should not receive feed until
they are t~hirty-siX hours old.
Cowpeas, alfalfa and SOY beans can
be successfully made into silage.
A treeless pasture is good neither
for sheep nor any other animal.
Feed corn to the setting hens. 1t
digests slowly and keeps up heat.
Immediately after the pigs are far
rowed allow them to suck the dam.
An egg is never in better condition
for setting than on the day it is laid.
Chicks require about the same food
that full-srown hens do, only less OF
it.
A man who drives over a bad road
and is contented with it IS a moss
back.
1t is astonishing how the good seed
movement does wake up the boys on
the farm.
Don't SOW seed on poorly prepared
land. It means more work and often
poor returns.
It is far easier to destroy n weed
this year than a thousand of It's off
spring next year.
If chicks are kept growing and free
Of lice they are less liable to become
victims Of disease.
Oatmeal boiled and made into a
Cruel and mixed with milk, Is an ex-
cellent feed for calves.
IF you want to be really up to date
sweep down the ceilings Of your sta
bles and whitewash them.
Well-fed hogs possess great resist
ance against disease and are not so
liable TO attacks Of worms.
A solution OF copper sulphate will
destroy weeds in gravel and cement
walks. Apply with a sprinkler.
Where June grass or ~dandelion is
troublesome the alfalfa should be cut
while these weed pests are still green.
The water wallow in some brook
or creek in which crude oil or coal
tar dip is s%prinkled also spells rout
to lice.
The successful farming communities
are those that pay some attention 10
the social side of life as we'll as the
industrial.
Chicks should have access TO a clean
drinking fountain which should be so
constructed that they cannot get them
selves wet.
A too liberal diet Of corn will bring
on indigestion and liver troubles-con-
ditions that are so frequently taken
for cholera in chickens.
A piece OF growing corn near the
hen houses is an excellent thing for
the birds to run through. They will
get a lot Of feed from It.
Don't over-tax the mares when they
are sucking a young colt. Go easy
with them. Remember they are doing
double duty. Feed them generously.
The first eggs laid by pullets should
not be set as they are small and will
produce weak, understood chicks. Let
the eggs come to full size before set
ting.
When handling a horse selscontrol
is essential. Don't get out Of patience
and abuse him. Don't expect the
horse to guess at what you want him
to do.
If owners OF dairy stock would al
ways remember hat the calf OF the
present is to be the COW OF the future
the treatment would be different In the
majority OF cases.

A Specific Case.


DampneSs coming from soil under
or surrounding the house will aid in
producing consumption, rheumatism,
malaria, and various other diseases.
A medical correspondent Of the MasSa.
chusetts Board Of Health gives an ac.
count OF a home in Hadley, built by a
clergyman. 1t had an uncovered well
in the cellar, and a sink drain with its
deposit box had full opportunity to dis.
charge its gases, there being no prop.
or ventilation to the drain or box.
The cellar was also used for the stOr.
{ of vegetables and its windows
were never taken out. There was nc
escape for the damp, foul air, save
through the creviceS of the floor into
the rooms above. He goes on to tell
that within three years among the diff.
ferent inhabitants Of the house there
were three deaths. two others came
lea dying, and all the inmates were
in poor health during their ~sojourn in
this particular house. The fatality OF
the property became so marked that
it was unstable. Finally an intelli.
gent person bought Il and by a thor.
ough attention to sanitary conditions
made II a most desirable dwelling.

To start an alfalfa field where
the soil is deficient in lime and plant
food is sometimes quite a task, but
when once established 1t is like q
bank account for years.

The Value Of LIGHT and Ventilatio

We especially need a condition OF
air that can be maintained only under
the influence of light and free venti.
lation. The great difficulty with Il
houses is that the cellars have a nor
or less complete communication with
the rest of the house, through open
doors, imperfectly laid floors, etc.
ling, even though the means Of their
communication in imperfect. their in.
creasing tendency day apd night is to
communicate their impurities to the
air Of the house.
The Mobridge news. [volume] (Mobridge, Walworth Co., S.D.) 190?-1917, 1914-07-10

OF the ground air. As a rule there is
little to hinder ground air penetrating
dwellings. air being drawn in by
changes in temperature. and artificial
heating through the cellars.
The organic impurities allowed to
drain into the ground pollute the
ground water and source of water sup
ply, and poison the ground air which
rises into the atmosphere we breathe.
Vegetable matter and animal matter
are mingled with the soil. Warmth
and moisture favor decomposition IN
animal and vegetable substances, and
during the process Of decomposition
dangerous. disagreeable gases are Civ.
en- off. These gases circulate through
the porous earth and when warmed
rise. and mingling with the air are
taken into the system with every
breath. These poisonous gases are
diluted with pure air and therefore
work so slowly in the system that we
do not realize the damage that is be.
ing done until illness develops. Even
then we are liable to attribute the
cause to other things than the damp.
ness, and poisonous gases that come
from cellars, drains, cess pools
swampy land and decaying animal and
vegetable substances in and about our
homes. If the earth under the house
Is damp and filed with such gases
they will rise and distribute them
selves throughout the whole house un,
less some special means is provided to
prevent Il.

Keep the Cellar Clean.

Not only must a house be construct
ed to keep out foul air and dampness,
but after its such construction il must
be properly cared for to allow no de
composition products to remain in it
nor let water stand in it, as these have
the effects previously described. The
cellar should be thoroughly cleaned
at least twice a year. After it has
been thus cleaned. If 1t has a rough
finish, w~hitewash will freshen it very
materially and the coal and wood bins
should not be omitted from the clean
ing. The cellar should be inspected
at least once every week. In the sum
mer leave the windows open at night
but close them during the day. In
winter open the cellar TO air on milo
days. II a house IS vacant leave two
cellar windows open IL possible to
prevent musinesB.

HOW TO PREVENT
ACID STOMACHS AND
FOOD FERMENTATION
By a Stomach Specialist.

As a specialist who has spent many
years in the study and treatment OF
stomach troubles, have been forced to
the conclusion that most people who
complain of stomach trouble possess
stomachs that are absolutely healthy
and normal. The real trouble. that
which causes all the pain and difficulty,
Is acid in the stomach usually due to
or aggravated by food fermentation.
Acid irritates the delicate lining of the
stomach and food fermentation causes
wind which distends the stomach abnor-
mally, causing that full, bloated feel
ing. Thus both acid and fermentation
interfere with and retard the process OF
digestion. The stomach Is usually
healthy and normal, but irritated al
most past endurance by these foreign
elements-acid and wind. In all such
Cases-and they comprise over 30 per
cent. of all stomach difficulties-the first
and only step necessary Is to neutralize
the acid and stop the fermentation by
taking in little warm or cold water
Immediately after eating from one to two
teaspoonfuls of bisurated magnesia, which
Is doubtless the best and only really
effective antacid and food corrective
known. The acid will be neutralized and
the fermentation stopped almost in
stantly, and your stomach will at once
proceed to digest the food In healthy.
normal manner. Be sure to ask YOUR
chemist for the bisurated magnesia, as
have found other forms utterly lacking
