their production records. In judging
Of q bulls ancestry the near relatives
should be given much more attention
than the distant ones.
1t is no doubt best to select herd
bull from dam who combines correct
conformation with heavy producing
ability. Producing ability should when
ever possible be judged by an authen-.
ticated years test rather than by q
shorter test Or the guess Of the owner
For the average herd it is safe to say
that the dam of the herd bull should
have q record of at least 400 pounds Of
fat as a mature COW or at least ESQ
pounds of fat as tWO-year-old.
In addition, the sire of herd bull
should have shown through his daugh-
tiers the ability to transmit desirable
conformation and heavy producing
ability.
The breeder who knowingly sells in
ferior bulls to beginners in the bust
ness certainly does not have the fu-
ture welfare Of the dairy industry at
heart. Such a breeder is really men
ace to the industry. On the other hand,
the breeder who sells good bulls, even
at high prices. is helping his fellow
man.

they were no more fit to become moth
ers than a six months old calf. This
forced them to become mothers before
they were two years old, placing them
in weak and nervous condition with
not enough vitality to support the calf.
They were expected to give as much
milk and the milk as rich in butter
fat and milk solids as the heifer tha'
brought her first calf when a three
year-Old.
a year old calf is growing so fast
that it takes about all the feed she can
consume to supply her with the proper
elements of bone and muscle making.
If she is bred at this stage her work
of bone, muscle and hair making is
doubly increased, which is too much
for her constitution. And as nature
forces her to divide certain portion
of the food consumed by her with her
calf Cor rather the substance Of the
food her own body does not receive
sufficient nourishment to keep it in
growing and healthy condition hence
some part of her body must cease to
grow, and after her calf has come she
is much smaller than she would have
been had she not been bred.
The calves Of such heifers are not
generally of much account-they are
small, weakly, peevish things which
are often not worth the trouble of rails
ing
I always try to breed my heifers at
the age of two years, never before that
age, and after I have bred them I am
particular about their welfare.
While pregnant little dry feed mix
ed along with what they get on the
pasture during the summer season,
with plenty of pure fresh water, goes
a long way toward bringing the COW
out in good shape after her calf has
come and insures a profitable dairy
cow and robust, healthy and valuable
calf

When Bred Too Young They Fail to
Develop Into Profitable Cows.
The present high price and the scar
city Of good dairy cows are great
temptation for the cattleman who has
a large herd Of yielding heifers Of a
milking breed to breed them at the
earliest possible period and get into
milk in order to get high prices for
them for dairy purposes, writes a cor
respondent OF the Farm and Fire
side.
This, however, is a great mistake, as
many a young cow has been weeded
out Of the herd as a Gull and found her
way to the butchers block, when if she
had been kept a few months longer
before breeding she would have made
a profitable mixer for the dairy herd

BULL CONTROLS FUTURE
OF The DAIRY HERD
By E. G. Woodward, University of Ne
braSka.

By E. G. Woodward, University Of Ne
braska.
The Importance Of wise selection Of
the dairy bull lies in the fact that he
may either improve or ruin the dairy
herd. There is abundant evidence to
show that the bull controls the future
Of the dairy herd. His influence is ex-
erted on all Of the calves born in the
herd If a few of the COWS do not
prove to produce good calves the flu
ture Of the herd is not greatly endan-
gered, but if the bull proves unable to
transmit good qualities the outlook for
the herds future is indeed dark.
DairymeQ, as a rule, especially be-
ginners, do not realize the Importance
Of carefully selecting the dairy bull
This is not to be wondered at, how
ever, because more publicity has been
given to the need Of carefully select
ing the COWS and also because the liz
fuence Of the dairy bull is not SO
plain to the casual observer. The fact
is, however, that the bulls influence
is the dominant influence on the future
of the herd.
Once a man realizes the Importance
Of the dairy bull the question arises
as to how a good bull may be select
ed. This question has never been an
swered satisfactorily. AS yet no one"
has been able to give directions by
which a good bull may be picked out
without risk to some ones herd. It is
commonly advised that a tried bull be
selected, and this is good advice, but
and that herd may suffer as result.
Possibly the best plan is to select the
bull according to the merit Of his ar
cestors, paying special attention to

BARLEY AS A cow FEED.
Experiments Indicate That IL Is Not Sc
Good as Mixed Grain Ration.

In order to determine whether barley
has a tendency to dry up milk COWS,
as is sometimes claimed, five COWS in
the university farm dairy herd have
been fed rolled barley as exclusive
grain feed for varying periods during
the past two years.
VOL reports that the production of
one COW during the past two lactation
periods on barley was considerably in
creased over that during the first lac
tation period when mixed grain was
fed, while the other COWS produced
somewhat less milk or butter fat on
barley than during the corresponding
periods when fed mixed grain.
The results do not indicate that the
feeding of barley tends to dry up milk
COWS, but they suggest that most cows
do not do as well on barley alone as on
mixed grain rations. Three Of the COWS
had heavier average body weights
when on barley than when fed mixed
grain, while the opposite was true in
the case of one cow.-Annual Report of

an empty shell, and this prevents the
chick from breaking through. Remove
the empty shells, but do it quickly,

Don't be in g. hurry about taking out

small foclzs rather than in one large
flock. Give dry feed, clean water, ex-

PREVENTION OF SCOURS.
Treatment of Calves to Prevent This
DANGEROUS Disease.

Treatment of Calves to Prevent This
Dangerous Disease.
White scours in calves is germ dis
ease, hence it's suppression lies in the
prevention Of infection. The Pennsyl-
vania state experiment station outlines
the following suggestions:
The cow should be permitted to drop
her calf upon clean bed Of straw in
a thoroughly disinfected stall. Imme-
diately after birth of the calf the UNI
bilical cord should be soaked in q 2
per cent solution Of some standard dip.
A wide mouthed vessel will be the
most convenient container for the So
luton, as it may be held close to the
body and the cord folded down into
the solution.
To prevent contamination the cord
should not be touched with the fingers.
After soaking, both the cord and an
area three inches in diameter surround
ing it should be painted with iodine by
means Of a small piece Of absorbent
cotton. A drying powder Of equal
parts boric acid, powdered alum and
flowers of sulphur should then be dust
ed on the cord twice daily until it has
dried off. The powder should be ap-
piled with a busting can.
Additional precautions include the
rinsing Of the cows udder with a dip
solution to destroy germs on these
parts before the calf is sucked and the
thorough cleaning of the stable, in
Guiding disinfection of the walls and
floors.

Care of Animals Eyes.

When the eye of an animal is irlitat-

using new swab of absorbent cotton
each time. Slightly darken the stable.

far as possible keep the animal out OF
dust. 1t may be that the tear ducts
are obstructed, and if SO they Should
