Producers who ship milk to city

milk shipped and those of the dealers
on the quantity received. In order to
locate the cause of complaint by study
Ing the actual loss between the coun-

the United States Department Of
Agriculture made an Investigation on
the Baltimore market. Records kept
on more than LOO cans showed that
the loss between the country station
and the city plant was less than 1 per
cent. The loss on trains probably due
to spilling was only 019 per cent and
from the city railroad platform to the

However, 1t was found that when
the milk was weighed in the city
plant there was shortage Of 2.56 per
cent on the amount shipped according
to can measure in the country OF this
shortage, OLA per cent was due to ac-
tual losses, while 1872 per cent was

for by the fact that cans become

few cows did that were fed on al
falfa hay and corn silage, without
grain.
A mature. HOlstein COW was pas
tured on irrigated, tame grass at the
department farm at Huntley, Mont
During the winter months she received
nothing but corn sllage and alfalfa
hay. She was under test and was
MIXED three times a day. For 1908
days and SO nights she was on pas
ture. During the rest of the year she
consumed 9,O14 pounds of alfalfa hay
and 1896 pounds Of corn silage,
rather large amount of bulky feed.
While this ration was fed the cow
maintained her weight at practically
what it was at the beginning Of the
test, and produced 14,21O.1 pounds Of
milk and 47O.24 pounds of butterfat.
For the ~ months following the
next freshening this same cow was
MIXED three times a day and given,
In addition to roughage, all the grain
she would eat. The surprising fact
is that she ate 1856 pounds Of grain

roughage as before. The actual guam
titles Of -roughage were 1908 pounds
Of alfalfa hay, 1926 pounds Of silage
and 4,230 pounds Of beets. She was
on pasture 100 days and no nights.
The milk production for the year was
26,499.4 pounds, and butterfat 823.11
pounds, and the gain in weight 200
pounds.
But notice the difference in the nu-
trients required to produce the prod |

RATION MUST BE ATTRACTIVE
Dairy Cow to Do Well Requires Feed
Containing Proper Elements
for Milk Flow.

Cows won't do we'll on food that
isn't palatable, say the feeding men
at the New York College of Agricul-
ture at Ithaca. Not only must the
dairy cows ration contain the proper
elements If she Is to be "worth her
keep" but 1t must be so attractive to
her that she will eat plenty and keep
up a good flow of milk.
On the other hand, say the dairy
men, it isn't wise to change a ration
suddenly even to make it better. A
COW Is a delicate mllk-producing ma
chine, and sudden changes in her food
are quite likely to upset some part of
the machinery, with resulting loss of
milk. -. :
The condition Of the food probably
has most to do with it's palatability !;
moldy grains or roughage don't appeal
to any self-respecting cow.

his next-door neighbor started his

AS soon as the music reached the
baby's ears she stopped bowling, only
to start with renewed vigor when it
ceased. Her father then started his
own machine with fox trot, which
had no effect on the offspring. He

the production of 1000 pounds Of milk
she used 7O.43 pounds of digestible
protein and 1859 pounds Of total d.
gestible nutrients.
From nutrition standpoint the
COW made more economical use OF
the roughage ration than Of the rough
age plus heavy grain ration. No at
tempt was made to compare the rel
alive economy Of the two systems OF
feeding on dollars-and-cents basis,
as the relation between prices Of
roughage, grain, milk, and butterfat.
which vary by localities and seasons,
would be a large factor in determining
this question.
There are now several cows on this
farm that have records made on rough
age alone. One made AIT pounds OF
butterfat in $50 days, and promises to
have record of 400 pounds at the
end Of her year, which will be within
As pounds Of the record made the year
before when grain was fed. Another
cow in the herd made 845 pounds Of
butterfat in 245 days without grain,
and still another 1915 pounds in 12O
days. 1t is now planned to try some
Of them on moderate grain rations to
make comparisons Of the amounts Of
nutrients required to make butterfat
and milk under all conditions.
Later and more complete figures on
additional COWS will show the effect
on production of three plans Of nu'
trition-no grain ration, light grain
ration, and heavy grain ration. The
relative prices of milk, butterfat, and
feed will then determine the method
of feeding most profitable for given

CARING FOR SPRING CALVES
Young Animals Should Be Chartered

Dairy calves should be kept in
clean shed or lot and fed regularly,
according to A. G. Baer, professor Of
dairy husbandry at Oklahoma A. and
NJ. college. He suggests the following
feeding schedule:
First week-Feed three times day
of mothers milk.
Second week-Feed three times q
day of whole milk.
Third week--Feed three times day
but substitute one-third skim milk.
Fourth week-Feed two or three
times a day one-half skim milk. Reg
ulate the amount Of milk to the size
and vigor of the calf.
"Afte~ the fourth or fifth week all
skim milk can be fed and little
grain, ground oats, corn, barley, and a
little bran," Baer says. "Let them eat
some good hay, as much as they can
eat.
calves can be kept on pasture, but
should receive some grain and hay in
addition. To prevent scours, all
buckets and cans must be kept clean.
The shed or lot should also be cleaned
regularly"

by qualified veterinarian. DR.. w. L.
Williams of the New York State Vet
Urinary college is to be given credit
for the plan Of procedure in handling
these cows. The treatment should not
be neglected too long after the cows
manifest this symptom.
A thorough examination Of the pa
tient is necessary to locate the trou-
BILE either in the uterus, ovaries or
fallopian tubes, and treated accord
irgly. 1t Is not uncommon for skilled
operator to restore five out of six cases
to reproductive state under favor
able conditions.
Cases Of long standing should be
sold to the butcher, as the treatment
fails to help them. A case Of more
than eight months to one years
standing Is very discouraging to the
operator, for he realizes that function
al changes have taken place in the
reproductive organs that will be diff
cult to correct by treatment. There
fore do not delay having an animal
examined and treated in the beginning
of the trouble instead of waiting until

by sterility would be surprisingly high

CONVENTIONS

HHON'T you think it is perfectly
l. splendid the way we are get
ting away from conventional" gush-
ing young married woman asked the
other day. "Why, my mother would
have thought it was disgrace to
serve dinner without table cloth
and linen napkins, and she would
have thought we were going to land in
the poor house if we had had break
fast in the kitchen. But we have
given up table cloths entirely, laundry
is so expensive, and we never use
anything but paper napkins. What's
more, some Of the most aristocratic
people know are having breakfast
hooks in their kitchens and don't
ever intend to have breakfast in the
dining room. Isn't it perfectly won
derful?"
And. Of course, agreed that it was
we'll that we could alter our customs
to suit the times without actually
lowering our standards. And she
went on:
"And it is just the same with other
things. Tom doesn't in the least mind
having me have my men friends, and
suppose he keeps up with the girls
he used to know. I go to dances
without him If I choose and accept
invitations from men to lunch-it is
all part Of this new disregard for
conventions. It's just like paper nap
kins-motheE would have been horri-
fed at the idea Of either, but mother
wasn't advanced"
And suppose that there are some
other people who have this same
hazy notion of the conventions" but
there really is vast difference be-
tween the slight innovation that
changes our precise mode Of having
breakfast or dinner and another fnno-
walton that means radical change in
our notion Of married life.
So we may change our manners with
regard to shaking hands; we might
give up hand shaking entirely, but
that would not mean that we might
change our basic ideas of friendship
and loyalty toward our friends.
If you have the gift Of thinking
clearly you won't confuse these two
sorts Of uaconventionality.

BIG cows GIVE MOST PROFIT
Records Show That Large Animals
Are Biggest Producers Of Milk
and Butterfat.

Prepared by the United States Department
Of Agriculture.)
Figures collected from various cow
testing associations throughout the
country and compiled by the United
States Department Of Agriculture tend
to confirm the previous conclusions Of
the department. that within the breeds
10 far as they were represented by
these animals, which were mostly
grades, the large cows are the biggest
producers Of dairy products and are
also the most profitable. The evidence
seems to point to the fact that in the
individual farmers herd it will be
found that on the average the larger
cows are more profitable than the
smaller ones, although there are some
indications that this may not hold true
In the case Of herds Of native cattle
containing much beef blood.
The cows whose records have been
used by the department have been
sorted out so that only mature animals
eliminating any differences that might
have been caused by the immaturity
of some cows.
In one group for which figures have
been prepared there were 100 cows
classified as small, POI as medium, and
100 as large. The small COWS aver.
aged 243 pounds Of butterfat year,
and made an income over the cost of

able Milk Production.

Successful dairy farmers find that
it pays to provide plenty Of good,
clean, cool water for milk cows.
Eighty-seven per cent Of milk Is wa
ter, as is nearly three-fourths Of a
cows body. Experimental data show
that the amount Of water required by
cows is In direct proportion to the
amount Of milk produced. In the
summer, the average COW will require
nearly three pounds Of water for ev-
cry pound Of milk she produces. In
one experiment cow giving ~ pounds
Of milk drank II pounds of water
daily. The same cow drank less than
half as much when giving no milk.
In all cases, it is decidedly good prac-
tice to provide an abundance of clean,
fresh water, cool in the summer and
warm in the winter.

STEPS TAKEN TO
AVOID Bee LOSS
Isle Of Wight Disease Cause Of
Serious Injury to Industry
in Parts of Europe.
SPECIALISTS HOLD MEETING
All Feasible Efforts to Be Made to
Prevent Introduction Of Queen
Bees From Foreign Countries,
Except Canada.

prepared by the United States Department
Of Agriculture.)
Serious ravages causing almost COM
plete destruction of the beekeeping in
dustry in parts of Europe by the isle
Of Wight" disease has started deter
mined action by American beekeepers
to save their business from similar
losses. Thus far the disease has not
gained foothold in this country or
In Canada, and it is believed that
should the disease become established
here beekeepers, queen breeders and
manufacturers of bee supplies would
quickly be ruined and horticultural in
terests would be seriously damaged.
AS first step toward preventing
this, a meeting was held recently at
the bureau of entomology of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, which was attended by special
lists from several states and Canada
who are interested in protective meas
ures.
Prevent Introduction Of Bees.
The meeting decided to use all FEAST
BILE efforts to prevent the introduce
ton of queen bees from all foreign
countries except Canada, and to dis
courage the introduction of adult bees
into the United States except for ex-
perimental and scientific purposes by
the United States Department of Agri-
culture. Since there is no known
Isle of Wight disease in Canada and
since it is hoped and expected that
the Dominion of Canada will establish
the same safeguards to the beekeeping
industry, it is planned not to establish
any guarantees or. prohibitions
against shipments of bees from and to
Canada.
All the men who attended the meet
ing were Of the opinion that the Isle
Of Wight disease would be such a
serious menace to Bookkeeping on this
continent that every possible step
should be taken to prevent it's intro

duction. All importation Of queen bees
should be stopped, they believed Pend
ing full legislation in this matter, the
conferees are hopeful that beekeepers
in both countries will cooperate to
the fullest extent by making no at
tempt to introduce adult bees. Any
queen breeder who introduced this dis
ease into the country would be doing
a great damage to the beekeeping in
dustry that would be a serious draw
back to future business, it was said.
Beekeepers who see any outbreak Of
any disease of adult bees are urged
to send at once samples for examina-
ton and diagnosis to the bureau Of en-
tomology, Washington. More detailed
information concerning the disease
may be obtained by writing to the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, Washington, for a copy of De-
partment Circular 218, entitled "The
Occurrence Of Diseases Of Adult Bees"
which is available for free distrfbu-
ton.
Source Of Big Loss.
Isle of Wight disease is caused by q
parasitic mite in adult bees, and is
easily transported by bees shipped
from Europe to America as was
proved during the past summer when
live bees carrying living mites arrived
in Washington from Scotland. The
disease is evidently a serious source
of loss to beekeepers Of the British
isles. It was first observed in 1904 in
the Isle of Wight, whence came the
name, and in succeeding years it has
spread with considerable rapidity to
all parts of Great Britain.

Owners Of cows usually put them

consequently takes more interest In
them, feeding them better and build
ing better barns to house them. He
does not need to do this, but usually
he finds that it pays him in gross re-

The results would have been the
same, though possibly not in the same
degree, if better care and feed had

it sometimes takes the stimulation
