SELECT EGGS FOR MATCHING
Should Be Fresh az Possible and From
Sound, Vigorous, Healthy Breed
Ing Stock Only.

All eggs intended for Matching pur-
poses, whether under hens or In incu-
bators, should be as fresh as possible
when set. These eggs should be from
sound, vigorous, healthy breeding
stock only. Choose medium-siaed
eggs that are we'll formed and that
have smooth, normal appearing shells.
Thin or rough shelled eggs should not
be set, neither should eggs be used on
which there are any little warty-like
excrescences of lime, as these will be
sure to chip of in turning and leave
holes in the egg shell which will pre-
vent further development Of the en-
bryo. Eggs intended for Matching
should be kept in cool, dry, clean
place and should not be turned while
being 30 kept. The temperature OF
the room In which they are kept
should not fall below 40 degrees or
go above 60 degrees F. Prolonged ex-
posture Of eggs to a temperature Of 70
degrees or above will injure the vital
ity of the germ and be almost certain
to- result In dead germs or fully
formed chicks dead In the shell.

COMPOSITION OF MILK
MucHpERENOe, UPON THE BREED
OF ANIMALS USED. :,
Jerseys and 0uernseys Produce Rich
:, Milk on Which Cream Rises
; Quickly and Completely -
n Holstelns Big Producers.
(By r. PEARsoN.)

L
| The proportion OF constituents In
milk depends largely upon the kind
Of cows used. Jerseys and 0uernseys
produce a rich milk. on which the
cream rises quickly and completely;
this Is a decided advantage to those
who wish to raise cream. II milk IL to
be used whole, 1t is not always an ad-
vantage to have the cream separate
too soon. Durham and Ayrshire cows
give milk OF an average quality from
which the cream rises slowly, and on
this account they are sometimes said
to be good "milkman's cows" Hol-
stein milk usually has small proper
ton of fat or cream, but some families
Of the black and white" supply q
product Of most excellent quality. The
Holstein cows are noted for producing
enormous quantities of milk.
Although these statements refer to
pure-bred lows of the different breeds
named, they also apply to grade ami
mails having one-half or more OF the
blood of these breeds. ALL cows Of
the same breed do not give milk Of
the same quality; in fact, the compost
ton of milk from cows of the same
breed may vary as much as that from
cows of different breeds. AS rule,
however. similarly bred cows, under
like conditions, give about the same
quality of milk at corresponding
times during the period of lactation,
1t is q popular notion that the feed
given a cow influences the quality Of
her milk more than anything else;
but II q COW in normal condition gives
q rich milk at one period her milk
will be Of good quality at all times.
unless she is badly neglected or dis
eased. Feed has a much greater in
fiuence upon the quantity of milk pro-
duced than upon its quality.
The first milk given after calving Is
called colostrum. 1t contains large
proportion Of albuminoids and Ia
somewhat laxative. 1t Is not fit for
food. In natural milk small amount

IMPROVING THE DAIRY cow
Several Excellent Suggestions Given
by Colorado Experi Int St7t'' -
Get All ct, .pplnos.

The Colorado experiment station
gives the following suggestions for
increasing the efficiency Of dairy
cows: The dairy cow may often be
brought up to the high degree of eff
cheney by some simple means. The
persistency Of the mixer will pay well
for all the extra time spent. Try to
make the COW think she has not given
enough, and she will set about to
make 1t up next time. ~
A little milk left In the udder Will
make her think she is giving more
than she Is expected to give, and at
the next milking she will not have
quite SO much for you. There Is
great difference In the per cent. or
butterfat in the first and last milk
drawn. The first will sometimes be
as low as one per cent, and the last
has been known to run as high as IL
per cent. 1t pays to work for the
strippings.
The manipulation Of the udder VIII
often result in the increase of a pound
of milk. This Is usually done after
the mixer has secured all the milk
he can, by taking the teat in the hand
and pushing the udder up close
against the body, repeating this about
three times with each quarter. Then
take each quarter. In turn, between
the hands. with the hands close to
the body. and rub down.
The extra milk secured at single
milking may not pay you for the time
but it will stimulate the cows to give
that much more at the next milking
without extra work. Here Is where the
profit will come In.
We all know that a COW with which
the calf Is allowed to run will very
soon adjust the flow of milk to the
needs of the calf, and 1t is equally
true that the dairy COW can and VIII
increase the milk flow II encouraged
by the mixer. Get all the strippings.
1t will pay.

PREVENT SPREAD OF DISEASE
When Dangerous Parasite Appears on
Farm Healthy Animals Should Be
Removed to High Land.
CBy w. L. BoYD.)


Parasitic diseases have caused seri-
us losses among our domestic ami
mails, and are often diagnosed as some
other malady showing similar symp-
toms. Heavy rainfall serves to con-
vey eggs and young worms from place
to place. Animals pastured on low
ground or on infested ground are quite
liable to parasitic diseases.
Medicine is often of little value In
dealing with parasites. AS soon as a
dangerous parasite appears on a farm
the healthy animals should be removed
to high ground and allowed only pure
water to drink. Pastures and yards
where infested animals have been kept
should be planted with cultivated
crops for several years. Infested ami.
mails should have dry feed at frequent
intervals and access to salt at all
times.
Carcasses of diseased animals must
be burned or deeply buried.

"The place Is furnished. The family

and the others stood in semicircle
and stared around. The room was a
typical country kitchen, a huge stove
side by side with q large chintzcov-
cred rocking-chair. A dresser for the
crockery and haircloth lounge took
up one side. There was center table
with a red checked cloth, a few chairs
and sewing machine near the win
dow.

unfamiliar object his heart sank low

suspicion became a painful fact. He

OF albumin is present, but In colo
strum the albumin often exceeds the

stituents may form over Is per cent.
Of the milk. The percentage of sugar
In colostrum Is low; the fat is normal.
The composition of colostrum changes
Npidly, and within a few days after
birth Of the calf natural milk is given.
After this the percentage of fat in the
milk from any COW varies more or less
from day to day, even II her feed, care
and general treatment are always
alike. The causes of sudden changes
are not always known; in fact, the fat
often seems to increase or decrease
without any cause. Sometimes the
fat content changes 30 per cent. within
"a hours. In well-regulated dairies
each COW Is MIXED ten months Of the
year; the remainder Of the year she is
