HINTS FOR DAIRYMAN
Keep Cows Clean by Careful and
Easy Brushing.
Animals Bred TO come-in In Fall Are

Keep the old hair brushed off as fast
the cow TO get it mixed with her feed
or get it in her mouth while licking
herself when turned out in the yard.
To some it may seem as an over
refinement to brush COW, but there
is no doubt of it's being useful and
beneficial when done in an easy and
careful manner.
II COWS are bred so as to come-in IN
the fall they are in their best flow. of
milk during the winter. BY spring,
when they begin to fall off in milk the
grass comes In to stimulate q larger
flow and they keep it up until time TO
be dried off for the next calf This
gives the nonmilking period at time
in the year when butter and milk are
the lowest.
Don't be afraid to begin feeding
early in the fall if the pastures are
short. for it does not pay to have COWS
fail in their milk at this time in the
year.
The total solids in milk are largely
dependent on the quality of the food
given, while the richness OF the in
gradients depends on the breed.
We know little dairy of Is COWS
which has brought in its owner just
about an even hundred dollars a
month all this season. The COWS are
selected mixers and the owner is a
careful man in every way. This kind
of dairying pays.
The farmer should keep a record
OF his individual COWS in order that
he may weed out the poor producers.

DISEASE OF FOOT AND MOUTH

Foot-and-mouth disease has broken

transportation agency Every out
break that has occurred i'm this coun-
try has been traced TO imported in
lection.
The chief symptoms of foot-aB6-
mouth disease are small ''water-blis-
ters' or vesicles which develop on the
membrane covering the lips ana
tongue, and upon the skin of the feet
or the udder. Cattle are most sus-
ceptible to the disease, then follow
hogs. sheep and goats. Persons rare
ly become infected Naturally infected
animals may show symptoms after
two days but sometimes not until il
days after having been exposed. A.
moderate fever develops in the first
or second day. Cattle ''slobberv when

result of blisters appearing between
the toes. These blisters soon break,
discharge a straw-colored fluid and
leave raw sores which become. in
fected with dirt, SO that pus forms.
In the great majority of cases, re-
covery will occur If the disease is al
lowed to run its course. The mortality
amounts to less than per cent as a
rule unless complications set in. How
ever on account of the serious conse--
quences which would follow an uncon-
trolled outbreak, both federal and
state live stock sanitary authorities
exert every means TO stamp out the
disease. All cloven-footed animals on
infected farms are killed and buried
in quicklime. The premises are thor
oughly disinfected and quarantine
rules strictly enforced. Treatment is
out of the question
Healthy animals should be pro-
tected in every way possible from

jects to prevent introduction of the
disease. 1t is advisable to keep stock
out of the highways and away from
pastures bordering on main-traveled
roads.
Among the reasons why every ef--

Don't let the COWS sleep out on cold,
rainy nights when you need a fire to
keep warm in the house. 1t takes feed

treatment.
What is each of your COWS costing

1t is good plan to test the cows
occasionally to see If there are any
deadheads in the herd. Might be a
good plan to watch the owner care
fully, too. He is just as susceptible
to deadheadedness as the cows.
Before you rid the dairy herd of the
"robber COW" make sure that she is
having a fair show by being supplied
with the proper rations, care and
shelter.
Keep the fall calf growing and you
will have a good one to turn out on

In the feeding of calves there is a
