1t is quite a common practice
throughout the country o Hlairy-
men to allow their COWS to freshen
in a thin, rundown condition. This
is done in one of two ways. Either
the cows are bred back soon after
calving and MIXED up until very
near freshening, or they are dryed
up and compelled to rustic for them
selves without being fed enough for
them to build up their systems.
This is an Improbable method for
two reasons. First, a COW while
milking requires more mineral mat
ter than is usually supplied in the
feed. She is compelled to make up
the deficiency by rObbing her own
body. Quite often COWS are thin and
u down at the end of the lactation
period. A COW that is made to fresh
en- year after year in a thin condf-
ton and without sufficient rest soon
becomes run down and refuses to res
pond we'll to feed. This causes short
life and a less profitable produc-
ton.
Second, some farmers believe that
it is more profitable to withhold most
of the feed while the COW is dry.
This is a mistake because if the COWS
are to make their maximum produc-
ton it is important that they be pro-
perly fed and cared for before they
freshen. They should be dry for
about two months before they fresh

cow OUGHT TO GET GOOD
RATION BEFORE GAlW0MG

en- and fed all of the good alfalfa
and silage that they Will consume
and also eight to 10 pounds of a
grain mixture, the amount depend
ing on the condition of the COW. They
ought to lay on fat while they are
dry. tt is a well known fact among
expert feeders that a sack of feed
before a COW freshens is worth two
afterwards. If she is allowed to
calve in a thin condition 1T takes a
much greater amount of feed to get
her up to her maximum milk flow
and then perhaps she will not pro-
duce as much as when in good flesh.
Pure bred Holsteins have calved
in pool flesh and required rs pounds
of grain per day to get them up to
their maximum milk flow and pro-
duction. The same animals fresh
ened again in good condition after
a short rest required only about Is
pounds of grain to make them pro-
duce at their best rate.
Proper fitting is doubly important
to the purebred breeder who is test
ing the animals. 1t means much
higher records and so much higher
priced stock.
A good fitting ration follows:
Full feed of silage; full feed of
alfalfa; $40 pounds of concentrates
using the following ration-100 lbs.
bran. 100 lbs. oats, 100 lbs ground
corn, 35 pounds linseed oil meal.

That Cascade county with a 15-
mill maximum school levy is the only
county in the state that has sufficient
funds to maintain its schools until
the end of the present school years is
the report of Miss Mae Trumper,
state superintendent of public in
%struction. Miss Trumper attributes
this to the county unit system which
has been in operation in Cascade
county the last two years.
The report further records that
223 school districts in the state are
bankrupt and in order to provide for
the maintenance of these schools dur
ing the remainder of the year a bill
Is now before the state senate to pro-
vide bonds to cover the required ex-
penses as an emergency measure.
Due to the uniform teachers salar-
les provided under the county unit
system, Cascade county again ranks
first as almost the only county in the
state where there has been no teach
er shortage. All schools in this coun-
ty were filled early in October and
at present there are teachers on the
waiting list.
One district in Sheridan county a
already voted a special levy of AZ
mills in order to maintain its schools
and whole counties according to the
report have voted an average of 20
mills to keep their schools running.
A large number of districts have vot-
ed special levies varying from 80 to
40 mills. A maximum levy of 10
mills was levied by the rural school
board of Cascade county last July on
all districts in the county and this
has been sufficient for the year.

LIVE STOCK ON NEW
IRRIGATED FARMS

Interesting and valuable observa.
lions are made by Professor T. C
Mead of the Idaho Agricultural Elk
pertinent station, following several
years of work among new settlers un-
der irrigation projects.
Many farm developers, Professor
Mead points out, make the mistake OF
acquiring live stock too soon, or in
larger numbers than properly can
be cared for. Admitting that quick
returns frequently are secured from
stock, nevertheless, he shows that the
settler will need, first, a house, a
domestic water supply, a garden, pro-
vision for his horses, fences and
other equipment.
He can better devote his time to
acquiring these things as quickly as
possible and preparing the land for
irrigation and planting, than to car
ing for livestock with inadequate
equipment, the professor asserts.
Watch Your Step!
If the farmer has feed, he can. of
course, Are for a COW and some
chickens, but even they will need
shelter and special equipment. In
fluenced by favorable prices or an
abundance of natural feed, many a
settler has come to grief through too
heavy investment in live stock, the
care of which has delayed the i'm
provement of the land, Professor
Mead asserts.
1t is urged that fences, the feed
supply, stock watering facilities,
shelters, corrals, feed racks and
other equipment be provided before
live stock is purchased.
81 have come to believe says
Professor Mead, "after observing the
methods of many settlers, that not
only should the new farmer go slow
ly in acquiring stock, but also limit
his purchases to only one kind at a
time. 1t is a mistake for him to buy
a few hogs, a few COWS and possibly
some sheep, for each different kind
requires additional equipment and
separate pens, pastures or corrals.
The same effort and capital will go
further in caring for one kind of
stock than for two. Every farmer
knows that sheep and cattle should
separate pastures. In fact,
sheep cannot with safety be kept in
an enclosure where there are horses
and mules; hogs, too, do better when
kept separate.

DESTROYING Cattle Lice

The regular method of washing
cattle in summer with the various
di%sinfectants to rid them of lice is
not a safe procedure in the winter.
During cold weather the animal when
washed dries slowly and may con-
tract pneumonia.

chard, Chinese cabbage, kaIe and

Warm quarters, free from drafts
but well ventilated, with a dark cor
ner in which the birds may huddle at
will, r suggested by one breeder.
Free range, rest and quiet also are
valuable considerations.
