DAIRY ana
CREAMERY
GROWING A MILK HERD.
Pays Farmers to Buy Good Bull and
Raise Their Own Cows.

Pays Farmers to Buy Good Bull and
Raise Their Own Cows.
AS those taking up the milking of
cows in Kansas get further into the
game they are becoming more and
more convinced that the only way to
secure Il thoroughly satisfactory and
profitable herd is to raise them, says
the Kansas Farmer. Where there is
such strong demand for good milk
COWS as there is at the present time
satisfactory animals are seldom Offer
cd for sale The cows put on the mar
ket and sold are almost sure to be the
discards This is true even in older
dairy communities, but where dairy
cattle have been handled a good many
years the standard of production for
COWS good enough to keep in the herd
has been raised until many fairly good
COWS are culcd out and sold.
That is not the case in Kansas, how
ever, although as our stock Of dairy
cattle increases there may be a sur
plus of good cows produced at some
future time. and some Of these will be
offered on the market.
Thomas Wells, Sedgwick county
farmer, recently remarked: "a good
sire, with heifer calves well handled
until old enough to breed and then
carefully tested as to milk production,
is sure to build up a paying herd Of
milk COWS. When / bought my COWS
l found them unsatisfactory, but when
I raised them the profits from milking
soon began to increase. l now milk
more than thirty cows. Most of them
freshen in the fall" This is the COM
mon experience Of all who have made
any pretense of buying to improve
their herds of milk cows.

FROM COAST TO COAST
A Most Remarkable Chain of Home Testi-
mony to Which Langdon Adds Its Voice
in the Universal Grand Chorus of Local
Endorsement by Those Benefited.

Pain is natures signal of distress.
A warning not to be ignored. Those
sharp twinges in the back-those sud-
den, stab-like pains when stopping,
are frequent signs of kidney trouble:
signs that must not be neglected. To
remove kidney pains, you must assist
the kidneys. Use tested and proven
kidney remedy. None more highly
endorsed than Doan's kidney pills.
Mrs. O. G. Thorson of Park River,
N. Dak., says: ~ had lot of trou-
BILE with my back. 1t ached all of
the time, and when l Strengthened up
after STOPPING over, sharp twinges of
pain caught me in my sides. l was
also bothered with headaches and
dizzy spells and the kidney secretions
were unnatural. l tried different
medicines and consulted doctors, but
got very little relief. l finally used
Doan's kidney pills and they greatly
benefited me. l take this medicine
once in while and it keeps me in
good health -
Price SOC at all dealers. Don t
simply ask for a kidney remedy-get
Doan's kidney pills-the same that

KEEP THE BARN CLEAN.
Milk Fit For Food Cannot Be Produced
In Filthy Stables.


Milk drawn from filthy cows or from
COWS kept in stable that is not well
lighted or ventilated or that is filthy
from an accumulation of manure or
milk exposed to foul or noXiouS odorS
cannot be lawfully sold or manufac
tured into articles of food for sale.
Keep the barn clean, well ventilated.
we'll lighted and free from dust.
Whitewash the barn at least once Il
year. 1t will add to its appearance,
increase its value. tighten the dark
corners and make it more sanitary.
1t is desirable to have dairy cattle in
Il barn by themselves. The odor from
horse stalls, filthy calf pens or hog
pens is Objectionable, because it will
taint the milk when it is drawn.
When constructing 4 new barn or if
the old one is rcmodcled see that the
walls are smooth and that the ceiling
is tight The floor and the base of the
walls should be constructed of cement
in order that the liquid manure may
be saved and removed.
Give the COW Il chance to keep clean.
She cannot do it if the stall is TOO long
or too short or not high enough Cow

ABOUT THE SIL0.

Here are some truths sent out by the
Minnesota Agricultural college:
"The silo walls must be air tight.
"They must be smooth inside.
"The best type Of silo is round.
"The silo should be a substantial
building since it has to withstand great
pressure"
How much should silo cost? De-
pends on the location. But if you get
good silo for from So to SIS per ton Of
capacity you have not paid an exces-
sive price.
The concrete silo should be washed
inside with a thin mixture Of cement
put on like whitewash before filling
This protects the inside of the silo
from the acid of the silage.
It must be applied as soon as mixed
and mixed fresh every few minutes
while the work is going on.

SEED WHEAT.

There is little or no seed wheat
coming into the markets owing
to the damage by dampness. 1t
; is moldy, sprouted, shrunken,
rusted, smutted, and much Of it
is rotten. Reports of heating in
the bin come from every direc-
ton. termination tests show that
much Of the seed is of low vital
ity and should be selected with
unusual care.
Therefore it is necessary that
every farmer should test all seed
grain for vitality, and every
farmers club and every CONNER
cial club in the winter wheat
belt must sound the alarm in
each locality to locate good seed
; which will arrive. Select the va
riety Of the seed best adapted to
soil and climate. If it is neces-
sary to import seed get as many
as possible to grow the same va
ciety. Fan out all trash, weed
seeds, and treat for smut with
formaldehyde

One of the outstanding character
istics Of the Guernsey COW is her
ability to turn grain and fodder into
high colored milk, cream and but
ter. In the matter of color of milk
she eXcels all other breeds. In
richness, too, she has few equals.
To the farmer who sells his milk
on the basis of quality and who
wishes to improve his herd the pure
bred Guernsey will fill the bill. The
males are prcpotent to a marked
degree. The COW pictured is a pure
bred Guernsey.
