LACK OF SHELTER FOR COWS
Exposure to Cold Rains Causes Big
Drop in Milk Professionalism
Illness Is Important.

By C. H. ECKLES, Missouri College OF
Agriculture.)
The dairy COW often suffers the most
from exposure to the weather before
real winter has begun. After steady
cold comes the cow is generally
stabbed. Exposure to cold rains IS
often more injurious to the animal
than the colder but dry weather IN
winter.
The dairy cow is not like the fat
steer, protected from cold by q layer
of fat. AS result, bad weather
causes a big drop in milk production.
So long as the weather is dry it is just
as we'll to leave the cow outside nights,
but every cold rain should find her
protected. .
1t is not necessary in the climate OF
Missouri to go to any great expense
on most farms in order that the barn
may be warm. The main thing is to
have tight walls so there is no draft
or wind, and a good roof. Care should
be taken in arranging the stalls IN
the form of q platform of the right
length and a gutter Of sufficient depth
TO hold the manure. The cleanliness
of the milk depends to a considerable
extent upon having the barn built SO
the COW will keep herself clean.

SUGAR.

A number of causes have cu~;U'?ted
to make our sugar position mo i.l:.
cult than we could have Anticipated
at the beginning of the year. X: cc3
these causes are:
Increased shipping needed by orE
growing army in France.
Certain West Indian Islands and
other accessible sugar producing areas
have proved a less yield than waS
anticipated.
The domestic beet and Louisiana
/ crops have fallen below anticipation.
There has been some destruction ct
beet sugar factories in the battle area
| of France and Italy.
We have lost considerable sugar by
submarines.
A close, estimate indicates reason
able expectation from all sources Of
about 100000 tons Of sugar for Unit
ed States consumption during the last
half of 1918.
This 100000 tons necessitates s
considerable reduction in our con-
sumption. 1t will require 100000
tons for six months to meet the fol.
lowing needs.
To provide three pounds Of sugar
per month per person for household
use.
To take care of our Army and Navy.
To provide for the necessary preser.
walton of fruit, milk, ct cetera.
This conservation program means
that for household use, together with
the special allowance for home can
ming, reduction of 25 per cent. from
normal, but that is nearly double the
ration in the Allied countries.
Retailers must not sell sugar to
any except households and boarding
houses feeding less than twenty-five
persons without taking up the Ger
tificates of such persons. They must
not sell more than two pounds al
any one time to any town customer
or more than five pounds at any one
time to any country customer The
retailer will do his best not to sci:
more than three pounds per person
Der month to householders, whose CO
operation with the retailer is earnest
iy sought.
Retailers may as at present sell 2
pounds of sugar to any one househcE
for home canning upon the household
er's certifying that he has not bought
elsewhere and agreeing to return am
balance unused for this purpose. Th'
householder can obtain more than %
pounds upon approval Of local admin
!strator, If supplies are available.
It will be seen that there is 10 direct
rationing of the householder. 1t would
cost the Government $5,0G0,OC0 to put
he householder on ration card anf
would take the services Of 100000
people to take care CT the work Ell
tailed. We cannot afford the labor o!
money and If householders will &C
operate 1t can be avoided.

The cut herewith shows q combina-

think is quite handy, convenient and
time saving. 1t Is located between the
barnyard proper and the hog yards. 1t
Is necessary to have large sliding

pass from one yard to the other with
team and wagon or manure spreader,
writes J. A. Saul Of Hancock county,
Ohio, in Ohio Farmer. Also wanted
a place for the hogs to pass through
which I could open or close at will.
Since there was only room for the
large gate and not wishing to weaken
it by cutting hog door In 1t I devised
this plan.
1t is easily constructed. Simply set
two posts three feet apart and bolt
two 2 by 6 inch cross-pieces to them,
one two feet or more If you
wish, above the one on the ground.
These must be notched as shown to
hold the gate where wanted. When
the gate is in the notch D, the hog
door is open. In notch E-hog door is

KEEP DAIRY PRODUCTS COLD
Special Precautions Should Be Taken
to Cool Milk After Being Drawn
and Then Kept So.

Milk and cream are periShable prod
ucts and every possible precaution
should be taken at the farm and in the
home to keep these products whole
come. In the fall with the cooler
weather, there exists an opinion that
ice or other methods Of cooling milk
and cream is unnecessary to have
these products remain sweet in cold
weather, says Prof V. r. Jones of the
South Dakota department of dairy hus-
bandry. This is a false assumption.
Special precautions to see that these
dairy products are cooled Immediately
after drawn and kept cold until deliv-
cry are important.
Milk and cream will contain germs
or Qactic acid) bacteria no matter
how careful we are in its production.
The bacteria that cause milk to sour
multiply very rapidly at moderately
high temperatures (70-S0 degrees F.)
If the milk or cream is cooled to 90
degrees F. or less, the growth of these
germs is held in check and these food
products remain sweet for longer
period.
If the dairy farmer does his duty in
properly cooling milk and cream at
the farm, either with ice or cold run
ming water, and the same precautions
are taken in the home, there will be
less trouble with sour milk and cream

TROUBLE WITH CALF SCOURS

regularity in Feeding are Usu-
ally the Causes.

Probably the greatest difficulty with
which the calf feeder has to contend Is
scours. Overlooking, sour milk pals
cold water and irregularity in feeding
are usually the causes, says a writer
in Field. AS soon as signs of scours
are noticed it is recommended that the
milk be reduced to one-half, and that
a teaspoonful Of dried blood be added
to the milk fed. No dried blood that
has not been thoroughly sterilized
should be used. In severe cases or
scours, the addition Of one or two eggs
with the dried blood has been found to
be very effective. In severe cases, II
is recommended that the calf be given
one or two ounces of castor oil in the
morning which is followed in about l.
hours by Is drops Of laudanum ana n

of people who were not canVassed

All these pledge cards that were

DAIRY
FACTS
GIVE cow NUTRITIOUS FEEDS
Pennsylvania Experiment Station Rec
ommends Decrease in Silage in
Drying-Off Process.

For considerable period before the
dairy COW is due to freshen it is best
to feed highly nutritious feeds. About
60 days before the time for parturl-
ton the cow should be dried off. 1t
is necessary that this be done care
fully, as old milk left in the udder
may lead to garget or other ills.
For the drying-off process the
Pennsylvania experiment station rec
ommends decreasing the silage to
about 20 pounds and the grain to four
pounds daily. No change is necessary
in the amount of hay fed. After the
COW is dry the grain ration is re-
sumed and the amount OF grain IN
creased gradually until the week just
previous to freshening.
The grain ration ought to be laxa-
tive in character, highly nutritious
and palatable. During the last week
the COW should be placed in box
stall and her grain lessened. Equal
parts of wheat bran and ground oats
or chop with alfalfa hay and man
gels is recommended as good ration
So to feed at this time.
After parturition the cow should not
be MIXED until the second day, except
by the calf, unless, as is the practice
of some dairymen, the calf is removed
at once. For several days the COW
should be allowed only tepid water
For feed, good clover hay, mangels
and bran and oats are probably best
until her system becomes normal
again. BY the third day the COW may
be returned to her stall.

TREAT CALVES TWICE YEARLY
Don't Wait Until Animals Commence
to Die of BIackleg Before Ad-
ministering Treatment.

(By G. H. GLOVER, Colorado Agrlcul-
tural College, Fort Collins)
Calves should be vaccinated for
blackleg twice a year, making it a
regular chore, and do not wait until
they begin to die before getting ready.
The period of ordinary susceptibility
ranges from three months to two and
one-half years. Most of the vaccine
on the market is reliable and the IN
satisfactory results are usually due
to carelessness on the part Of the
farmer in not following directions In
using 1t.
The agricultural college distributes
the government blackleg vaccine free
to farmers of Colorado. Orders for
vaccine will not be filed promptly,
however, unless the applicant states
that he has vaccinating outfit, which
very necessary to administer vac
cine in this form. A pellet injector
will not do, neither will q hypodermic
syringe, without the remainder Of the
outfit, for placing the vaccine in solu'
ton.
