nection with a good quality OF hay |
and the proper grain ration. Root
crops in general cannot be counted |
on to furnish much more than the
succuIence necessary for dairy ra-
ton. They are composed principally |
of water. hence, it would be necessary |
for the COW to eat an enormous guam
tity to furnish all the nutrients es-
sential to maintain the body and pro-
duce milk. 1t is practically impos-
sible to compare rutabagas with bran
or shorts since they are so very diner
emf, the one being concentrate and
the other a roughage. Rutabagas
conta in in each 100 pounds one pound
of crude protein, 81 pounds of car
bohydrates and 2 pounds OF fat. CIV
ing a nutritive ratio of one to 90.
Bran on the other hand contains
8. 8 pounds of protein. 675 pounds OF
carbohydrates and /. 3 pounds OF fat
in every 100 pounds, giving nutri-
tive ratio of lila. From this it can
be seen that these feeds cannot be fed
Interchangeable Rutabagas are usu-
ally fed at the rate of 20 to % pounds
per day.
CAN | DEHORN MY COW NOW?
I have young heifer that Will be
fresh May 1st that would like to
dehorn. Would you advise dehornlpg
her at once, or waiting until later!
And would like some information as
to the treatment after dehorplng. j.
w. M, Priest River. Idaho.
Answer: 1t is not likely that de-
horning the COW at this time would
cause her to abort, although it may
be left until after the COW freshens II
it can be done before the flies get too
bad. In removing the horn good
ring of hair should be taken OFF with
the horn to prevent stub from grow
ing out later. After the horn is re-
moved some pine tar may be applied,
and layer of absorbent cotton placed
over the wound to stop the bleeding
and to keep out the dirt. 1t is not
wise to allow a dehorned COW to go to
a straw stack since the Infection
which results from having the COW
burrow her head in the stack is apt
to become serious.

last. Little can be done after the
animal has contracted the disease ex-
cept to keep the parts soft by apply
ing some healing ointment such as
oxide of zinc ointment.
You do not state whether the bitter
taste In the milk is noticeable as soon
as the milk is produced or whether it
shows after standing "a hours. In
the former case it shows either an in
lection of the udder or an advanced
stage of lactation; while in the latter
case it is due to the growth OF organ :
lsms which produce bitter milk. We
shall be glad to test this out for you
ii possible, and for that purpose we
would like to have you send sample
of the milk in the bottle which we
have sent you under separate cover.
We would also like to know If you
use hand separator, and any other
information bearing on the subject.
MILK HAS DISAGREEABLE
Question: I am having trouble
with milk cows eating wild onions
and, of course, the milk and butter
have an onion taste very badly. What
can l do to dispose of this taste? f.
j., Almira, Wash.
The disagreeable taste which milk
has after COWS have been eating wild
onions is due to the presence Of
volatile oils which can be largely re-
moved by thorough aeration of the
milk. This may be accomplished
by allowing the milk to run over one
of the common coolers, such as the
Champion, Star or Root, being sure
that stream of cold water is circulat-
ing through the cooler. I know of
no substance which can be added to
the milk to destroy the bad flavor.
l am enclosing bulletin on butter
making which may be of help to you,
and If you wish further information l
should be pleased to hear from you.
LOUSY BULL; "BEST'' BREED
OF DAIRY CATTLE.
Question: I have an eight
months old bull that is lousy.
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1914-05-01

Would you kindly tell me what to do
to get rid of them? Will you tell me
what breed of cattle are the most
profitable dairy cattleY K. c., Van
couver, Wash Route 6.
Answer: One of the best remedies
for lice is an alkaline coal tar product
such as creolin or zenolium, which
when added to water produces per-
mauent milky emulsion. These dis
infectants can be used in the proper
ton of one part to 81. Darts of water.
IF stronger solu ton is used it is
liable to remove the hair and blister.
Other remedies that have given good
results are: An infusion of tobacco,
two to three ounces boiled in a quart
of water; and kerosene emulsion,
which is made by dissolving one
fourth pound of hard soap in two
quarts of boiling water, and adding
one pint of kerosene.
There is no "best'' breed of dairy
cattle, but any of the standard breeds
such as Holstein, Jersey, Ayrshire
and the Guernsey will give satisfac-
ton il the proper individuals are Sc
lected and given proper care. Ii you
expect to breed pure bred stock. it
would be wise for you to consider the
breed which has already been estab-
lished in your community so that
YOU will be able to practice COmmuul-
ty breeding to some extent. This
will allow the trading of bulls, or the
clubbing together Of several breeders
to purchase a good bull to be used IN
common thereby making the expense
for each breeder very small. In any
case get high producing COWS, and IL
possible large COWS Of the breed be-
cause large COW is sure to be more
economical prod ucer than small
one.
A bulletin on the selection OF the
dairy breed has been prepared and is
now on the press. II you will write
to the experiment station and ask
that your name be placed on the
mailing list, this bulletin together
with others will be sent to you as
soon as published.

Order of St. George
GiOen IL Year Old Boy
For BraOery in Battle

Petrograd. Russia, Dec. 26.-By
deeds on the battlefield a child Of L
years has gained the Order of St
George. equivalent of the British Vic
toria Cross.
He is a little Jewish lad, the son OF
an old soldier. He became an orphan
almost as soon as the war broke out
He went to a regiment about to be
sent to the front ard pleaded to go
with it. The commander was not will
ing to take, child with him, but at
length allowed him to be adopted by
the regiment. in the fighting in the
Hungarian plain the boy was taken
prisoner by the Austrians, who thought
that he would tell them about the
number and disposition of their
enemy The little Jew refused to say
a word, and the Austrians in disgust
threw him into a barn, setting SOL
der on guard at the door.
One night the soldier went to sleep
and the boy fled. He took day or
two to get back to the Russian head
quarters, for the way was long and ne
when he at last stumbled into the
camp Of the COssacks.
They took him before the commander
and he told what he knew. The Aus
TRANS had talked openly before him.
The commander listened eagerly and
when the boy finished asked him TO
step closer.
You are but II years old" ne said
"but from today you are a corporal
and you will get the Order of st.
George"
The child corporal is in the hospital
at Kieff now, wounded in the battle
which followed, but he has the Order
clasped tightly in his hand.

Early Saloon Closing
Reduces London Crimes

and disorder, according to judge Rob

Sessions court.

in addressing the December grand jury.
ARE so remarkable that they ought to
be known. For instance, the Septem-
Der grand jury had before it II cases
II O'clock closing order was introduced
with the result that in October the
number fell to five. Then the closing
hour was altered to 10 o'clock and in
November the cases fell to two, while
