.PHYSIC is HIGHLY
IMPORTANT cow AID
Expert of Wisconsin Station
Gives Directions for Drench-
ing-Use Strong Bottle.

A physic is a very important aid in
the treatment of most diseases. DR..
A. S. Alexander of Wisconsin gives the
following directions for administering
a physic:
Dissolve one pound of epson salts,
for 1,000-pound COW, in three pints of
warm water Add half an ounce OF
ground ginger root and a cupful of
black-strap cane molasses. Shake well
and give as one dose slowly and care
fully from a strong long-necked bottle
or from a drenching horn.
Do not raise cows head above the
level of her back when administering
medicine. Hold her head in straight
line with her body. Do not grasp her
by the nostrils, or pull out her tongue
Standing at her right side, pass the
left hand over her face and into the
left side of the mouth. Insert the neck
of the bottle into the right side of the
mouth, and pour in the medicine, two
or three ounces at time, and allow
the COW time to swallow.
Let her head down at once, II she
coughs, and wait for few minutes be-
fore giving the rest of the drench.

vitality-that's the thing to seek in
selecting individuals for the poultry
breeding flock, because lack of it in
the parent stock is one of the great
causes of loss in poultry raising.
Marks of strong vitality: A head
that is short, broad, deep, compact
An eye that is bright, full, clear,
round, prominent. A beak that is
short, broad, well curved. Comb and
wattles that are well developed and
fiery red. A body that is well jointed,
compact, stout; back, long and broad;
breast, deep, broad, thickly fieshed,
with a keel running well back; ca
pacity, large, especially in hen which
needs room to develop digestive and
reproductive system capable of manu-
featuring many eggs. A strong bird
generally stands with shanks squarely
under its body and wide apart at the
knee joints. Its toe nails are usually
worn broad and fiat across the point,
evidencing great activity.
The marks of low vitality are the
opposite of those of strength. The
head is long, fiat, sunken, narrow; the
eye is small and dull; the comb and
wattles poorly developed or pale. The
body is often loosely jointed, with
knee joints close together; the breast
is narrow, shallow and poorly f1eshed.
Long, pointed toe nails indicate less
activity.

Tho greatest feeding value in skim
milk is always found in feeding it to
young animals.
Persistency in keeping up an even
flow of milk is of great Importance.

pounds of milk a day make better an

to As pounds a day on flush feed and

Timothy hay is poor because it is
not palatable to the dairy cow, and
because it is deficient in protein.
The economy of the ration is largely
affected by the amount of foodstuffs
which may be grown at home. If the

GREAT IMPORTANCE
OF A GOOD GARDEN
Select Only Best Seed of Most
Suitable Varieties of Vege-
tabIes-Adds to Profits.

When we consider the fact that the
farmers truck patch and garden sup
plies are nearly one-half his family's
support, and when he once realizes the
great importance of good garden, he
will then fully realize the importance
of procuring only the best seed of the
most suitable varieties of vegetables
Without good, clean and vigorous seed
the fundamental elements of good
crop are surely lacking. There is no
doubt but that small inferior seed will
produce weak, spindling stalks, while
large, full, well matured seed invari-
ably grows into big full crops, proyid-
ing they are grown under favorable
conditions. This has been as conclu-
sively proven in regard to seeds as it
has in animal breeding, and no we'll
informed farmer overlooks it.
There is no doubt but that the av-
erage farmer could easily add large
amount to his profits each year by
paying as careful attention to his seed
selection as he does to the harvesting
or cultivating of his crops, or to the
animal breeding, and there is no rea-
son now why the farmer of today
should not do this. He can test his
seed corn, and by the same method.
From each lot of seeds sample can
be taken, placed between cloths that
are spread in a plate and which are
kept moist and warm. Or the seed
NOV ba GOWN in soil in a hOx or flower
Dot and the terminating ability of the
sample will speak for the entire lot of
seed.
1t is such a simple matter to make
sure that all of the seed planted is not
only germinable, but vigorous, and it
is so serious to plant seed that will not |
develop and grow properly that there
seems to be no good excuse for anyone |
planting undesirable seed.

Providing she comes from good an

WHY FARMER SHOULD
HAVE A SEPARATOR
Little or No Loss of Skim Milk
Less Danger of introducing
Disease Into Herd.

(By 8. E. LEE, Wisconsin Experiment
Station-)
There Is a number of very good
reasons why farmer should own and
operate cream separator.
/. There is little or no loss OF skim
milk, which, of course, has high feed
ing value.
2. There is less danger of introduce
ing such contagious disease as tuber-
culosis into the herd If the milk Is
skinned at home and only the milk
produced upon the farm is fed.
8. Time is saved by not hauling
whole milk to the factory.
4. Less products have to be cared for
upon the farm.
s. There is wider market for cream
than for milk.
