Flume Breaks

The break occurred at a point along
the river bank, hence no damage what
ever could be done other than short
interference with water delivery, the
water from the break emptying into
the Gunnison river.

was well and expeditiously performed
and no particular damage resulted to

but the air should be admitted through
windows or openings high enough
from the ground to prevent the wind
from blowing on the cows. The stall
must not become wet and miry with
or from rain. 1t should be
kept dry and we'll bedded with leaves,
straw, sawdust or other available ma
terial. This will not only keep the
COW clean and make her comfortable,
but will afford a pleasant place to
milk in. The bedding will also add
to the amount of manure that can be
carried to the fields.
The COW is a nervous animal and
should be treated gently and kindly.
If h steps on the mixers foot. or
slashes his face with her tail, or kicks
when her teats are pinched, she
should not be kicked in return; and if
the feed-room door is left open and
she goes in. she should not be beaten
for it. A careful mixer rarely suffers
injury by the COW, and she will re-
spond readily to care, patience and
Kindness on the part of the mixer.

WOODPEcKER ROBs A TOWN
Causes Short Circuit on Signal Wires
Resulting in Excessive
Water Bill.

Ilwaco, Wash.-A woodpecker is
blamed for large additions to Ilwaco's
bill for pumping city water.
The contract for filling the munich
pal reservoir is let to a power COM
pany and an electric indicator notifies
the engineer when the required depth
of water has been provided.
For some months the bill has been
regarded as excessive and the number
of hours required daily to fill the basin
has varied to a marked degree.
Investigation has placed the blame
on an innocent woodpecker which
chose n wire for a perch and with
its tail touching the other wire made
a short circuit SO that the engineers
signal to stop pumping vas con-
trolled by the woodpecker's rest rathe,
than the depth of water provided.

ture. More mixture can be added if It
will make the COW give enough more
milk to pay for the extra feed.
Cottonseed meal is one of the best
milk-producing feeds, but it is very
rich and if fed in too large quantities
may injure the COW. To avoid this 1t
is well to mix bran or some light,
bulky feed with it. If cottonseed
meal is the only grain or meal fed,
and the roughage contains no green
feed of any kind, about foul pounds of
cottonseed meal a day a be fed
without injury. By feeding turnips OF
any other green feed the meal may be
increased to about six pounds a day.
Corn meal is an excellent feed to
mix with ]cottonseed meal, but usually
If corn sells for more than 60 cents a
bushel it probably will not pay to use
1t as cow feed.
The use of stock powders and pat
ent stock feeds is a very expensive
and wasteful practice. When a COW
is well III needs no medicine or slim
ulants, and when she is sick she needs
to be treated for the particular all.
ment she has. The lean, roughhaired,
hollow-eyed condition of many cows is
not always due to sickness, but gen
orally to lack of feed or to effects of
ticks. If the COW receives plenty of
pea vine, soy bean, vetch or clover
and the other feeds mentioned in this
circular, she will need no condition
powders of any kind. When free from
ticks and plenty of feed is given and
h is not in good condition, then she
requires special treatment by someone
who knows how to treat such cases.
In addition to good feed, the COW
must have good care in order to make
the greatest profit. Exposure to cold
winds and rains greatly counteracts
the effects of good feeding. Stalls in
which the cows are kept should be
free from large cracks that admit cold
wind In drafts. Ventilation is needed
