ceived at a certain cheese factory
this fall as in former years, although
the same number of cows are supply
ing milk. The patrons of this cheese
factory are trying to make money
by feeding their cows sparingly. We
have never found a dairyman who
has made money by scant feeding.
II may be calculated on paper that
to deny COW liberal ration will
yield larger profit than correct
feeding, but in practice the dairyman
who feeds his herd literally is the one
who is making money. That is
what men keep cows for.
The prices of dairy products are
now wholly keeping with the
prices of feeds. If there were money
in dairying before the present ad-
vance in prices of both feeds and dali
ry products, there surely is money in
dairying now. If the farmer finds
he has not sufficient roughage or can
not obtain an adequate supply of feed
for his entire herd, 1t is better for
him to dispose of few of his poorest
cows and feed and care properly for
those that he retains. There was
never a better time to dispose of I'M
profitable cows than now and 1t is
nothing short of ridiculous to urge
anyone to keep an Improbable COW.
The world is short of grain and for
age for cattle. This makes it ad-
vantageous for the man with unprOfi-
table cows to dispose of them and
thereby save the forage so the good
cows may have an adequate supply.
If the patrons of the cheese factory
mentioned above would dispose of
one-half of their cows, say the poor
est. and feed the remaining so that
they would produce twice as much
milk as they did when on a poor sys-
TEN of feeding, 1t would mean a larg
er net profit and saving Of at least
25 or more per cent of the feed of
the patrons of that cheese factory.
1t has been demonstrated beyond
doubt that a dairyman who feeds
his cows literally and eliminates the
improbable COW will make money.
This has always been true and it al
ways will be true. We have a record
in our Office of herd of % cows fed
sparingly that did not produce as
much milk in year as a herd of
cows fed literally and the % cows
consumed more than twice as much
feed. The man who owned the 2S
cows received only enough milk to
buy his scrimpy ration, while the man
with the s cows. feeding literally,
made a good profit. We have many
such instances on record that were
gathered from farms where the cows
have been tested In the face of such
evidence and facts, no, sane man will
keep a lot of improbable cows or
feed his herd sparingly. ,...

RED CROSS APPRECIATED.

THE Red Cross puts the soul in
soldiers" judging from a manuscript
that has just been received at Lake
Division Red Cross Christmas Roll
Call Headquarters from the London
Headquarters of the American Red
Cross. The message reads:
The boys of Ward "A" at the big
American hospital at hartford. near
London, held a mass meeting the 9TH
er day.
1.-The meeting was called by "com-
mon consent" and for no other parti-
cular purpose except to discuss
things in general" including the re-
suits of the election in the United
States and the armistice negotiations
over at the front, and the satisfactory
conditions OF everything and every
body around the hospital
In other words it was Just one of
the many things that the ingenious
American soldiers is always doing to
keep life sunny and happy.
There were speeches about the
election, and speeches about the Kali
ser, and speeches about the hospital
and speeches about the American Red
Cross.
unfortunately there was no secre-
tary at the meeting and no minutes
were taken of the proceedings and
the speeches.
But a little while after the meet
ing, one of the Red Cross women hap
pened to pass through ward "A" and
as she went through, the chairman

moved from the racks daily and may
we'll be fed to horses.
The amount of grain advised is
based upon the supposition that the
lambs have had grain since being
weaned and are In good condition,
and that the hay was cut at the
right stage and put in good con-
dition. If the lambs have not had
grain start with one-third of a
pound each, and IL they are pretty
thin, or the hay poor they will need
more grain than advised.
Oats have never proved profit
able grain in a fattening ration un-
der normal relative prices of oats
and corn, but for growing lambs they
are valuable; and when the cost per
pound is no greater than that of
corn, oats may be profitably fed.
Barley has a slightly greater feed
ing value per pound than oats. None
of the grains need grinding for
sheep. 1t will not pay to feed bran
at the price given, nor oilmeal If
the hay is half clover of good quail
ity. About 80 days before the lambs
are to be sold begin to- increase the
corn and decrease the proportion of
oats. Within 80 days have them eat
ing one pound each daily, preferably
in two feeds, and displace the oats
entirely with corn. The barley may
be retained in the ration or not de-
pending upon its relative market
value and the supply.
There is an old adage that the eye
of the master fattens lambs. No one
by following a hard and fast rule
prescribed by some one who does not
see the flock will have the highest
success in feeding sheep. The feed
er must be able to tell when they are
doing well, and just when the feed
needs increasing. Then sheep need
more in steady weather. To be
successful sheep feeder one must
watch the appetite of his flock, and
vary the amount with weather
changes.-(H. p. Miller, Delaware
Co., O)-Ohio Farmer.
The Hartford republican. (Hartford, Ky.) 18??-1926, 1918-12-27
Feed For Fattening Lambs.

Please advise ration for lambs
which are to be sold fat after shear
ing. Feeds available and prices of
same are as follows: Corn, $3.50;
oats, Use; barley, 81; bran, So; Oil
meal. 1925 cwt., and mixed hay $40
per ton.-C. E., Killbuck, o.
With lambs in good thrifty con-
dition 60 days is long enough on full
feed to finish them for market;
hence the feeding should be govern
ed accordingly. If these lambs are
cross-breeds and now weigh 20
pounds or more it will probably pay
better to finish them as soon as pos
sible and market. Heavy lambs are
Disseminated against. Merino lambs
should be cared through and shear
ed.
With the gains on hand and at
the prices mentioned, mix them in
about equal proportions by weight
up to within so days of the time
they are to be sold, and feed a half
pound per head daily together with
all the hay they will eat, or more
than they will eat as sheep should
not be required to eat the coarser
portion of the hay. 1t should be re-

The MAKING OF
A FAMOUS
MEDICINE
How Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound
Is Prepared For
Woman's Use.

A visit to the laboratory where this
successful remedy is made impresses
even the casual looker-on with the reli-
ability, accuracy, skill and cleanliness
which attends the making of this great
medicine for woman's ills.
Over $50, 900 pounds of various herbs
are used annually and all have to be
gathered at the season of the year when
their natural juices and medicinal sub
stances are at their best.
The most successful solvents are used
to extract the medicinal properties from
these herbs.
Every utensil and tank that comes in
contact with the medicine is sterilized
and as final precaution In cleanliness
the medicine is pasteurized and sealed
in sterile bottles.
1t is the wonderful combination of
roots and herbs, together with the
skill and care used in its preparation
which has made this famous medicine
SO successful in the treatment Of
female ills.
The letters from women who have
been restored TO health by the use Of
lydia Il. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound which we are continually pub
fishing attest To its virtue.

Cows Resting Period.

have some Jersey heifers that
were bred quite young. They will
be milking 10 and IL months when
freshening again. Which would give
the best results. to give them three
months or six weeks rest? And If
you give them three months rest
would they have a tendency to go dry
too soon next time?
Phoenix, Arizona. r. r. S.
AS a rule it is not good policy to
allow a cow to go dry much over six
weeks il it can be helped. Too long
a period of rest often makes it diff
fcult to get the cow in calf, while too
short rest lessons likelihood of a
full flow of milk. Six to nine weeks
dry period should suffice in the cases
mentioned, provided the cows are
well fed.

Loss of Horns.

Through an accident Jersey heif-
err of mine lost the shell off her horn.
| Immediately cleansed and steriliz-
ed everything thoroughly, put the
shell snugly on again, and fastened
IL to the core with small sterilized
screws. What are the prospects of
this shell growing permanently fast
again? III | should lose ii and re-
move also the shell from the other
horn, would these cores become suf-
fciently hard and smooth to be dress
ed up into a nice matched pair of
.shapely horns, as they were before?
Chicago, Ill. III. j. II.
What happens when human nail
is knocked of? 1t grows again from
the pododerm and. In the same way,
a new horn forms from the sensitive
core of matrix. Injury. however,
may cause the matrix to secrete an
abnormal or deformed horn. Exam
nation, no doubt, will show that the
sloughed horn is simply acting as a
shield for the new horn forming up
on the vascular core.-Hoard's Dairy

A visitor to a small country town
lost his dog, an animal which he priz-
ed very much.
Rushing to the Office of the local
newspaper, he handed in an adver-
tisement offering five dollars reward
for the return of the dog.
Half an hour later he thought he
would add to his advertisement the
words: mo questions asked" So he
hurried off the the Office again.
When he got there the place was
empty save for small boy, who look
ed very sulky.
where's the staff?" asked the tou-
rist, glancing around the deserted
room.
"Out looking for your dog" was
the aggrieved reply.-Our Dumb An

Profit In Hens.
National Stockman.)

Eggs are now retailing here at 73c
per dozen. Merchants tell me they
get few from the country and much
of the time are unable to fill orders
On account of the high prices of feed
not nearly as many chickens as usual
were raised this season, and for the
same reason the flocks wintered Will
be considerably cut down. SO high
prices may be looked for all winter.
Prices, present and prospective,
fully warrant extra feed and care for
hens. There is little danger of maxi
ing laying hens too fat except per-
haps in the case of the big, sluggish
Asiatics. kept In continent. One OF
the most productive focks | ever
knew were the pure-bred White Leg
horns that had corn lying before them
all the time. There is little danger
of overlooking either the American or
the Mediterranean breeds. Kept In
CONTINENT hens should have variety
of feed, and it Is safe to follow to the
letter the rations made out and used
in some one of the different egg-lay-
ing contests.
The question of profit in keeping
hens seems never yet to have been
satisfactorily settled. am now liv-
ing in town and keep 25 hens, and
keep account of them. i buy my
feed. NASTY at wholesale of farmers,
and get net profit per hen of right
around $3.50 per year, on a receipt OF
10 to IL dozen eggs per hen.
Because It costs farmers much less
TO keep hens with their free range.
they should make a greater profit, but
know with most farmers the poultry
business is side-issue and often neg
lected. Few keep any account with
them and can only guess at results.
believe the business merits better at
tention than 1t generally gets.
