Many dairy farmers realize fully the
additional profits that would be
theirs if the majority Of their cows
were bred to drop their calves in the
fall and so give winter milk. But
from lack of proper herd manage
ment or a well planned system Of
regular breeding Of their cows the
calves come mostly in early summer.
1t is essential that records be kept
Of when cows freshen, when they are
bred and attention given to the time
of breeding.
To change a herd Of cows from
springers to fall, the bull should not
be allowed to run with the herd and
so have promiscuous breeding. He
must be confined separate from the
herd and strict attention given to the
periods of heat.
There are two ways of securing
this desired change in a herd Of milk
cows. The first and preferable sys-
tenn is to breed the cows as soon after
calving as possible. The period Of
CESSATION for a COW is nine months.
Normally she may be expected TO
come into heat from four to six weeks
after calving. If she is bred prompt
ly in two or three years time the
change is season can thus be advanc-
ed six months. This is the method
which Prof. Eckles Of the Missouri
State Experiment Station recon-
mends.
The second and less desirable way
is to let the cows go about six months
after calving before breeding and so

PLAN OF HERD
MANAGEMENT
BY ROSS MARTIN, Manager Rock Spring Dairy.

in two or three years time effect the
change. But by this practice there is
danger Of the COW becoming a shy
breeder and more time is required
for her to stand dry between calves.
But the best practice is to begin
with heifers to build up a fall fresh
ening herd. Plan to have the heifers
drop their first calf in the spring.
Then plan to have the second calf
come about IS months later which
makes fall freshening cows. This
fixes a long lactation period, estab-
fishes milk producing qualities early
and gives chance for additional ma
turing Of body after the first calf.
1t prevents a beefiness tendency.
Cows that fail to come into heat
regularly or as expected can often be
stimulated by feeding a restricted
ration Of coarse dry feed with very
little grain for a few week, then
within a few days by degrees radical
ly changing this to a generous feed
of soft succulent feeds as silage,
green fodder and brand mash.
To the milk producer following this
system Of herd management two
sources of extra profit are open, first
from more milk at the season of high
prices, and second from cheaper bet
ter growing calves. This system does
not necessarily reduce the value Of
pasture for milk production, but
rather it increases it because the pas
ture is best utilized by cows that are
stimulated to renewed production by
turning on fresh grass in spring.

Notes From Hardin
Even though We had a pouring
rain most of the day Friday, the May
Fete was a big success. The costumes
were very attractive, and folk or
national dancing beautiful. Miss
Miss Eleanor Conely was crowned
Queen of the May. There were many
spectators and all were very enthus-
iastic, and many asked that the fete
or pageant be repeated on the first
bright day out on the campus, that
the public generally may see its beau
ty. Miss Rule, Miss Gupton, Miss
Bratton and the young ladies who
took part are seriously considering
the matter.
