PRODUCT OF THE DAIRY cow

prepared by Dairy Division Of Clemson
College.)
The Babcock test was first an
nounced to the world in 1890.
The greatest source of infection II
milk comes from the body of the ami
NAL and the air of the stable.
Anything that will make it easier tc
clean the stable will aid in the pro
duction of pure milk.
The concrete floor is by long odds
the most sanitary for a dairy barn and
should be used wherever possible.
In building a dairy barn, remember
that n is providing a place where
human food is to be produced.
Early breeding stunts growth.
Heifers should be bred to drop their
calves when about two years old or
older.
AS a rule, it is desirable to have
cow 60 dry at least a month before
calving. This has a beneficial effect
on the calf.
Dehorning is a good practice. 1t
makes cows quiet and docile and saves
them much pain that may be inflicted
when horns are retained.
Dairy cows have little spare flesh to
protect them from the cold. Comfort.
able housing in winter is, therefore,
very important.
The liquid anu of a cow is much
more valuable than the solid. 1t can
be saved by having watertight floor

fed horses will vary so much in their
requirements that it is difficult to
name any definite quantity which a
horse should have as his daily ration.
1t should be regulated by the man
feeding the horse, and should be gov.
erned by the capacity and needs Of
the horse. A stallion should not be
given more than he will clean up with
in half an hour after feeding. Always
leave him a little hungry. Do not over
feed on hay, as it is not necessary to
crowd the horse full of hay all the
time. Do not stuff his manger full Of
hay once or twice a day and allow him
to eat till he cleans 1t up. That is
a poor way to feed hay. Chopped hay,
mixed with the grain. increases the eff
ficiency of the ration. The horse
should be supplied with plenty of good,
fresh, clean water. During the hot
weather the horse should be watered
quite frequently. Overlooking and lit
tie or no exercise tends to cause swol-
len legs, scratches, grease: a wet
stall causes thrush and canker.
When you have done your part so
far as feeding is concerned, remetu
Der that the horse needs exercise.
If you have a paddock in which he can
run, so much the better. II there is
no other way to furnish exercise, the
horse should be walked. He must
have exercise if you expect results
from him. A horse that is confined Ia
not a very sure foal-getter. The very
best exercise for a stallion is to work
him daily at some light work. If ev-
cry stallion received a moderate
amount of exercise, the number OF
foals would increase from Is to ~
per cent. Keep him in a well lighted
stable, and don't have him alone away
from the other horses.
Another thing some people forget Is
grooming. Frequent and thorough
grooming is very essential to keep the
stallion comfortable and the skin In
good, healthy condition.

Animal Husbandry. Oklahoma A. and

Many stations are at least partially
ruined between seascns This is due
to improper feeding and care Some
men starve their stations after the
breeding season on the theory that
they cannot afford to feed literally
when there is no income. This is Ger.
tainly a mistake. 1t does not even re-
suit in a saving of feed, as it will cost
more to put the horse back into the
proper condition when the breeding
season opens. 1t is cheaper to keep
a horse in good flesh all the time
than to allow him to run down during
a part of the year and then by heavy
feeding for a few months bring him
back to the required condition.
Crushed oats and bran with good
hay is hard to beat. Ground corn or
kafir, together with plenty OF bran
and oilmeal also makes a splendid
ration. Horses that are overfed on
corn or kafir are never sure foal-get-
tiers. Bran is always a valuable sup
plement to any grain ration. 1t re-
lakes the system generally, corrects or
prevents digestive disorders, and at
the same time furnishes an abundance
OF bone and tissue-building material.
Soft, warm bran mashes once or twice
a week will serve to keep the bowels
in good condition, and a little epson
salts may be added. Roots should be
used in some form during the fall and
winter seasons. They certainly help
to keep the stallion in good condition
and to keep his digestive tract in a
good. healthy condition. In the spring
a few pounds of grass or other green
feed may take their place.
