MAKING A DAIRY HERD.
Raise the Heifer Calves and Purchase
a Pure Bred Bull.

Raise the Heifer Calves and Purchase
a Pure Bred Bull,
The cheapest and the safest way t.
build up a good dairy herd is to raise
the heifer calves of the best cows
These calves should be sired by a pure
bred sire, the female ancestry of
which have been COWS Of large pro.
ductiou. Thousands upon thousands
Of the most profitable dairy herds have
been established i'm this way.
So to do requires just a few years
longer time than would be necessary
If the dairyman should buy a bunch
Of dairy bred heifers. but with the
right kind Of a sire at the head Of the
herd it will be only a few years until
his offspring can take the place Of the
original herd and the advantages are
such as will justify the dairy farmer
in waiting for the results. He will be
learning the influence of the sire I'm i'm.
proyement, and this will be a valuable
lesson which he can turn to good ac.
count later. He will learn, too, the
means by which heifer calves are de
veloped, and this will be important
The chances are, too, that he will
learn much Of advantage in the mat.
ter of feeding.
II the farmer aspires to a pure bred
herd-and every real dairyman should
aspire to this-he may proftably and
safely buy a pure bred cow or two or
two or three pure bred heifers at the
time he purchases the sire, and the in.
crease from these will, almost before
it is realized, place a pure bred herd
on the farm. In the grading up proc
ess the quality Of the sire must not be
overlooked. The grading up cannot
be done with a sire Of mediocre abili.
ty. It is far cheaper to pay 5000 for
the right sort Of sire than 500 for one

What Corn to Plant for SiIage.

What Corn to Plant for Silage.
In a recent letter to the College
of Agriculture a Missouri far
mer had this to say:
Last summer built two con-
crete silos. l will fill them for
the first time this fall. Are there
any other crops besides corn
that can be used successfully as
silage? If l use corn what kind
should l plant and how should it
be planted?"
In answering this question w.
NJ. Regain Of the Dairy Depart
ment says: MANY crops are
used as silage with varying sue
cess in different localities. For
Missouri conditions, however,
corn is the only crop that can be
generally recommended. Corn
grows well in all parts of the
State and yields more food ma
terial per acre than any other
crop. 1t is more easily harvested
and put into silo than any of the
hay crops. With the harvesting
machinery that we have at the
present time the hay crops are
much more difficult to handle af-
ter being cut. Furthermore corn
makes an excellent quality of
silage. The legumes such as
clover, alfalfa and cowpeas are
liable to rot unless great care is
taken to pack the silage firmly
and force the air out. Cowpeas
are often planted with the corn.
A mixture of the two makes ex-
cellent silage but the difficulty of
harvesting makes the system un-
practical.
The best corn for the silo in
any locality is the same corn that
produces the largest yield of ears
in that locality. The corn that
produces the immense yields of
fodder are the late maturing
southern varieties. These in
Missouri must necessarily be
harvested at an immature state.
On most Missouri farms such
corn as Reds Yellow Dent or
Boone County White, make ex-
cellent silage corn. This corn
should be planted in exactly the
same manner as it would be
planted to get the largest yield of
grain"

The Eco and Easter.

A province of the ancients is that
everything springs from the egg"
Many writers assert that the custom
Of exchanging eggs was borrowed from
the Jewish use Of eggs during the feast
Of the Passover.
Others say that it is traceable to the
fourth century, when the church pro-
hibited eggs during Lent. This gave
an abundance Of eggs at Eastertide,
some Of which parents gave to their
children, decorating them to make them
more attractive.
In Italy, it is believed that q scarlet
Easter egg, carried about the person
during the year will bring good ucG.
The farmers believed that the land
over which an egg had been rolled
yielded plentiful %harvests.

Everything worked tine. but one

sudden he spied in the moonlight In the
grass the head OF Mother Hen on her

SoOth to say, it looked bad for the eggs
In the nest. But up from the barn in
the lane came Looping along, nosing
from side to side, a little brown bunny,
when suddenly he lighted on the vacant
nest. Creeping closer, he took in the

was Easter morn, he brought forth u

The sweetest bells Of Easter day

Their Easter message bllthe and gay
Although, Of course, ! love those dearly
But sweeter than their music, steals
A perfume on the sunlit air.
Until undoubtedly one feels
the hyaelnth has bells more fair
Little, tinted, curling bells,
Pink or purple, blue or white;
Beauty such as theirs foretells
Springtime Joy and delight.
They say there lived IN days OF old
A noble youth who was much famed
his curling locks OF gold
Hyacinthus he was named
lie was changed into the flower
That we hyacinth now cab.

For the flowers bells proclaim
Easter love and hope and Toy.

DAIRY WISDOM.

Handle the newborn calf with
care. First Of all, keep it warm
and be sure it gets its first milk
warm from its mother.
The milk scale is one of the
necessary implements in the
dairy, but it should weigh the
feed as well as the milk.
Keep the newborn calf clean
and keep the mother free from

SELECTING A DAIRY cow.
Points That Indicate the Ability to
Produce Milk A~bundantly.

No amount Of skin and feeding will
enable a feeder to get profitable results
from a really poor type of COW, writes
a correspondent Of the Kansas Farmer.
A good dairy COW is one with a large
capacity for using food and one that
uses this food economically for produc-
ing milk. 1t matters little to what breed
this COW belongs, but it is extremely
important that she is a good individual.
The essential points of a good dairy
cow r indications Of constitutional
vigor, good capacity, development Of
the nervous system, good blood cir
culation and the ability to produce milk
abundantly.

breed have made large records and
many are on authenticated test at

cows, with records exceeding 400
