Using the Clippers.

The clipping of horses and mules in
the spring is generally conceded to be
beneficial: The clipped animals not
only appear better and are easier clean
ed. but they dry off quickly ut night,
get good rest and are more vigorous
and thrifty. Dairymen now regularly
clip the tanks and udders Of cows ev-
cry three or four weeks. 1t is easy
to wipe off the parts then before milk

Increase Milk by Dehornina.

Removing the horns Of cows lessons
the danger Of injury and increases the
production Of milk. In an experiment
with ten cows at the Kansas Agricul-
tural college it was found that for the
first five days after dehorning the
cows lost an Average of one-half pound
Of milk a day. At the end Of the fifth
day they began to return to their nor
NAL flow. and in a few days eight Of

the cows that had been hooked and
driven away from their feed previous
to the dehorning. The two that did
not increase in production were the

in winter no feed has more value than
good corn silage. If grain goes into

grain Is needed for brood mares, hay

killed. over the silage.
Horses to be wintered on q silaRe

about five pounds Of silage daily per
thousand pounds live weight, the grain
and hay ration being gradually de-
creased as the silage IL increased until
the ration Is twenty pounds silage and

creased somewhat, depending ON the
