one Of our men called my attention
to another house which we had
missed. It was badly damaged by

with French uniforms, bloody cloth

I'm the cellar OF this house we cfs-

heard the faint cry Of a baby. and in
looking around l discovered in one
OF the corners young mother hold

was sick and the mother told me It
was starving. II It had not had any
milk for two days i .5y s;y .sts.
1T seems the women had told our
soldiers about the baby, but they had
not understood what was wanted.
Then I remembered we had kept the
COW we found two days ago In our
barn. so we went for the COW. g IS

milk and got busy. But there was no

milk, hut the result was the same

where SO many soldiers wanted milk

been MIXED dry. So placed a
guard in front Of the cows stall and
ordered him to let no one come near

WINTER in THE DAIRY.
Careful Feeding and Warm Shelter
Needed to Keep Up Milk Flow.

Careful Feeding and Warm Shelter
Needed to Keep Up Milk Flow.
The pinch of winter falls with De-
culiar force on the dairy. We do not
always place due stress upon this,
writes e. T.. Vincent in the American
C%ultivator. Stop and think what a
change it is from the fresh grass Of
the pastures or perhaps the still more
juicy feed Of the meadows to dry hay
and grain. No wonder the COWS shrink
badly for a time in their yield Of milk.
Besides this. the difference in tempera-
ture has a tendency still further to
narrow down the productivity of our
herds unless we are watchful and take
prompt steps to sustain the flow of
milk.
One Of the best features Of the silo
is that it provides s%ucculent feed for
this critical period. The corr stored
in this way is juicy and goes far to-
ward making up for the loss of sweet
ness from grass. Still further to over
come this first pinch of cold weather
certain grains may be added to the ra-
ton. OF these gluten stands high in
Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1915-03-04

the estimation of the dairyman. Where
this is fed in connection with some
wheat feed or ground oats it makes a
good substitute for pasture grass.
Then, too, we have found that sta
bling out OF the cold storms and the
no less uncomfortable winds has a
good effect in maintaining the yield ct
milk, Nothing more surely reduces
the vitality of ii cow and thus lessons
the ability TO make milk than cold.
A COW to do her best needs to be COM
Portable, and Il chilled COW is never
comfortable. 1t takes Il lot of extra
feed to sustain the milk producing
machinery of Il COW where she is com
PEELED to battle with wind and storm.
Warmth lessons the demand for food
and helps a COW to make more CT the
feed given her. In other words, good
stabling lessons the cost of production
oc milk.
Still another simple thing helps to
bridge over the sharp crisis of early
winter, and that is careful grooming.
Cleanliness keeps the body in good
working order and enables the COW to
use the feed given her to better ad.
vantage.

Important Dairy Utensil That is FIRE.
quently Misused.
SO many users Of separators do not
seem to know how to care for Il ma.
chine of such delicate adjustment and
consequently do not get the best re-
suits, writes l.. W. Lightly in the Ma
tional Stockman. 1t is roughly handled,
abruptly started or stopped. carelessly
washed and frequently out of balance.
Often a poor grade of oil is used, and
sometimes oiling is sadly neglected.
Often the machine is pitched over with
waste oil, dust, milk and fig specks.
Thus handled the machine wears and
depreciates rapidly and must soon be
replaced. But the greater loss is sus-
tanned because a machine thus treated
or mistreated does poor work and yields
a contaminated product that never
brings the best price On the market.
A standard cream separator is ad-
justed nearly as carefully as a watch
and must be kept clean, carefully oiled,
set level on a firm foundation, firmly
fastened so it will run smoothly with
the least possible vibration. A little
carelessness will not only mean Excess
sive wear on the machine, but entail
loss in butter fat and quality Of prod

ing value. where Il few years ago the
demand was principally for illuminat-
ing power. This change has been
brought about by the increased use of
gas for cooking and in the arts. Coal
gas should have Il heating value Of
not less than $50 British thermal units
per cubic foot, while water gas is usu-
ally higher. In many towns q COM
bination of coal gas and water gas is
used. For instance, in New York,
where this plan is adopted. recent tests
made showed an average Of 1862 Brit
1sh HERNIA units and an average illu-
minating power of 2S.S candlepower.
Water gas is produced by the de-
composition Of steam in contact with
lncandescent carbon. The process con
sists in alternate "blows" with air to
heat the fuel and runs" with steam.
which is decomposed by the incandes-
cent fuel, continuing to form water
gas until the temperature becomes too
low, necessitating another period of
heating.
In the c~arbureted water gas process
the fuel in the generator is burned by
the air blast only to Il sufficient degree
OF heat to form principally carbon
monoxide. Another process much in
vogue in Europe produces about twice
as much water gas for the same
amount of fuel. In this process the
volume Of air during the blows is so
proportioned to the bed of fuel and
the apparatus is SO designed that in
stead of carbon monoxide carbon diox-
lde is formed, developing three times
the heat from the fuel that is deveI-
oped when it is burned only to carbon
monoXlde. In this process coke Is
therefore converted into water gas
with a maximum of economy, trans
ferring to the gas about 10 per cent
of the heating value of the fuel.
1t is the practice abroad to use seam
less welded steel tubing for the dis
tributing mains instead Of cast iron
pipe. The steel pipes have for gas
mains the advantages similar to the
use Of steel pipes for water mains, al
ready pointed out. They are lighter in
weight, easier to handle, have fewer
joints, are not subject to breakage and
when laid are free from leakage. be-
sides lasting longer.
What has been said about the gen.
,aral arrangement of water mains and
