TO DISINFECT cow STABLES
In Case of Contagious Abortion Any
of the Standard Coal Tar Mixtures
viii Be Found Good.

For a disinfectant in cases of con-
tagious abortion in COWS, any of the
standard coal tar disinfectants are
good. Crude carbolic and bichloride
of mercury are two good ones.
Contagious abortion of COWS is a
serious trouble and must be handled
with extreme care if it is to be sup
pressed. The proper disinfection of the
cow stables and the entire premises
that may become infected is very
Under ordinary farm con-
ditions the infected animals should be
separated from the rest of the herd
and kept where there is no chance for
the infection to spread. If it is found
that they cannot be cured they should
be disposed of.

BABCOCK TEST AND SCALES
Instruments for Ascertaining Correc
Value of Dairy Cow-Outlay Is
Not at All Large.

The Babcock test and scales are in
struments for ascertaining the correct
value of the dairy cow with reference
to her milk and butterfat production.
The test is simple, accurate and easily
mastered by anyone who will give the
matter careful study and attention,
taking the necessary time for the
work. Those who prefer not to de-
vote the time should join a cow-test-
ing association, for it does not pay to
keep improbable cows.

CONTROL DISEASE OF APPLE
Most Effective Treatment for Blight
Is to Cut Out Every Affected
Twig and Canker.

CBy J. B. S. NORTON. Maryland Expert
ment Station1
The most effective treatment for
the control of apple blight consists
in cutting out the diseased parts. In
young orchards and in nurseries
where there is naturally but little
blight and in old orchards in seasons
when blight is not serious, by cutting
out every blighted twig and canker
as soon as possible, giving special at
tention to the body and base of the
tree, bad outbreak may be prevented
in following years. 1t is also neces-
sary to destroy all blight in the neigh
borhood on wild or cultivated trees as
the bees may carry it long distances.
Bees are, however, necessary to pol
lenate the flowers.
When old bearing trees are badly
infected, winter is the best time to
cut out the blight The cuts on large
branches or in the trunk should be
brushed with a disinfectant and when
dry protected by painting with white
lead in linseed oil. In cutting blight
in the growing season, it is important
to wipe the pruning instrument after
each cut on cloth or sponge wet with
either carbolic acid, concentrated
lime-sulphur, per cent formalin, or
other disinfectant to prevent reinfec-
ton of the next cut Cut twice sew
eral inches below where the blight
shows, as in spring the germs extend
much farther in than they show on
the outside.

tions have made large and profitable
productions of milk and butterfat.
Breed heifers at the age Of sixteen
to twenty months.
Feed heifers literally and milk regu-
larly.
Do not try to save feed by turning
to pasture too early.
Provide plenty of pure, fresh water,
shade and protection against flies dur
ing hot weather.
Supplement poor pastures with corn
silage or green soiling crops like rye,
peas, oats, green corn fodder, cabbage
and other available feed.
Feed COWS daily one pound of grain
In winter for every three pounds of
milk produced, 25 to 40 pounds of
corn silage, and what clover or alfalfa
hay they will eat.
Do not turn cows out to remain and
suffer in cold, stormy weather
Allow them to have water which is
not colder than that from deep well
twice or three times daily.
Brush COWS daily if you can possibly
find the time, for it pays better than
does grooming of horses, which as a
rule is not neglected.
Keep COWS in clean, well-lighted,
properly-ventilated stables.
Treat COWS gently and avoid excite
ment.
Weigh the milk of each COW at milk
ing time.
Get your neighbors to share with
you In owning a Babcock milk tester
and test the milk of each cow.
Discard the COW which has failed
at the end of the year to pay market
price for all the feed she has con-
sumed.

ESTABLISH THE MILK FLOW
Best Time Is When Cow Is Fresh and
Should Take From Three to Four
Weeks-Feed Literally.

The time to establish the milk flow
of the COW is when she is fresh. 1t
should take three to four weeks to
bring her to full flow of milk and to
eating full ration. There is no other
time in the period Of lactation when
care and judicious feeding have more
important bearing upon her years rec
ord.
The dairy COW should be fed liber-
ally, but care should be taken not to
overfeed her and carry her beyond her
capacity. This works injury not
only to her milk function, but to her
breeding powers.

Selling butter to private customers
is almost business by itself. You
must have the market close to hand
and you must be able to manufacture
gilt-edged butter and give proper de-

Really, furnishing butter to private
customers might be separated from
dairy farming. 1t is separate bust
ness but one man can handle both.
