Satisfactory Feed for
Success With the Calf

The heifer calf dropped this coming
fall-the COW of two or three years
hence-should be given a fair start.
Whole milk from its dam for the first
week and from the herd for two or
three weeks longer is almost essential.
But as early as the third week Of the
calfs life 1t should be offered grain
and hay so that 1t will not miss the
fat Of the milk when changed to skim
milk. The change to skim milk Should
be made gradually. If whole milk is
being sold and there is no skim milk
available. powdered buttermilk diluted
with nine parts of water and fed at
the same rate as skim milk is equally
satisfactory. Experimental work has
proven the value Of buttermilk for
calf feeding only where there Is no
skim milk available as the cost Is
greater than of skim milk. Whole
oats, cracked corn and bran make q
good grain for the calf. Coarse alfalfa
hay is preferable to leafy hay. A
darkened shed will give the calf pro-
lection from flies.

RIGHTS OF WAY

Cities which are paying huge price,

sineer of Erie county, New York. writ.

THE Importance of securing rights

of old roads so they can be wldened

mated" says Diehl.
Diehl points to Erie county's pollcy
Recognizing that piecemeal rene
dies did.not provide q solution to the
traffic problem. the Erie county board
of supervisors directed tie county en-
gineer to make a comprehensive stud,

the work of constructing new high
ways or the widening of existing roads
is not to be done for 10 or 10 years.

Prevent Ropy Milk by
Proper Care of Cow

During the summer milk often be.
m abnormal in the respect that
1t becomes quite stringy and ropy.
This ropiness is not always the result
of a gargety condition of the udder
as is usually thought to be the case,
but is sometimes the direct result of
the action of an organism, B. viscosum,
writes G. NJ. Trout in the Dairy
Farmer.
This organism grows best in hot
weather and is found growing espe-
cially in stagnant pools and marshes.
Cows wading in such places get the
organism on the udder from which
they find their way into the teat canal
and into the milk pail during milking.
Scalding of the milk pals tends to
keep down the spread of the trouble,
but is not entirely satisfactory in
eliminating the condition from the
daily milk supply. The cows must be
kept from such marshes or else the
stagnant pools must be drained. Ropy
milk caused by b. viscosum is not in
furious to health in any way, but be-
cause of its stringy, Shiny appearance
IS far from being desirable.

More Poor Cows Should
Be Fattened and Killed

1t is a common practice among
dairymen to fatten q COW for the beef
barrel each year. More of our poor
COWS should be fattened and sold for
beef. After a COW has passed the mid
die of her lactation period or has been
bred it is natural for her to drop in
milk production and gain in weight.
Feeds which will fatten an animal for
beef should be wide in the ratio of
protein to carbohydrates and fat, or
in other words you should feed a ra-
ton low in protein, al protein feeds
stimulate milk production at the ex-
pense of body weight. Good cows
will, however, continue TO give some
milk even though they are receiving
a fattening ration. To fatten a milk
ing COW quickly allow her to eat from
eight to twelve pounds daily of a ra-
ton containing three parts hominy or
corn meal, one part bran, one part
oats and one part of linseed oilmeal.

I'LL THE NY
lWENURu
BREED COWS FOR
FALL

Breed the milk COW TO freshen In
the fall for she will then produce
more butterfat In a period of IL
months than If bred to freshen In the
spring.
Cows bred during the latter part
Of January or In February will fresh
en- in early fall and will produce more
butterfat during the year than when
the calf Is dropped in spring." says
John A. Arey, dairy extension special
list at the North Carolina State Col
lege. "A COW that freshens In the fall
does not suffer from hot weather apd
flies during the period of her heaviest
milk flow as does the cow that fresh
n in the spring. The owner is not
rushed with field work In the fall and
has more time I'm which to look after
his cows during the heavy milk pro-
ducing period"
Ing is also desirable because 1t makes
possible the heaviest fat production
when the butter market is highest.
December butterfat often sells for II
to 10 cents per pound higher than the
butterfat sold in May and June. This
means bigger profits for the same
labor.
1.-The majority of our creameries
have d surplus of butter during the
summer months, and it is necessary
for them to consign some of this sur
plus to the large central markets at
a sacrifice in price," says Mr.. Arey.
Therefore, they cannot pay the farm,
err as much for his fat during this sea-
son. During the winter months, how
ever, most Of the creameries run short
of butterfat and cannot produce
enough butter to fill local demands.
"a little more attention to the
breeding period Of cows on the part
of their owners would correct this
trouble and make possible a greater
annual income per cow"

Alternating Pastures Is
Helpful for Production

Dairymen who are located so that
they can alternate their pastures gen.
orally find that the practice is helpful
In securing greater production. Pas
lures which carried cattle late In the
fall on account of the rains which kept
the grass growing are often late start
ing the following spring.
Where pastures are divided so that
cows can be %alternated back and forth,
this practice allows the grass to get
started. Where there is a shortage Of
pasture, it is usually advisable to
plant a crop, such as sudan grass, to
supplement the regular pasture. Su-
dan grass is a hot weather crop and
will produce a surprisingly heavy
amount of feed if it is allowed to getl
a good start before pasturing. This
makes 1t a satisfactory crop to supple
ment the regular pasture during hot,
dry weather.

Che
DAIRY
CROSSING BREEDS
is 0

The results Of painStaking care
exercised by breeders for centuries
are being wiped out in some sections
where some dairy farmers are cross
ing breeds in a mistaken effort to Sc.
cure a higher quality of milk and
more of IL, says L. j. Perry, dairy
specialist at the College of Agriculture
In New Brunswick.
THE development of each dairy
breed" explains Mr.. Perry, "iS the re-
suit of a process Of selection covering
hundreds of years. Thousands of men
have spent the best years of their
lives in breeding up pure strains of
cattle. Through persistent selection
certain characters have become fixed
BY crossing different breeds we inter.
fere with the transmission of the fac
tors which account for the distinct
characters of each breed.
in crossing breeds there is not an
xac blending of the characters us is
often supposed. Instead. an entirely
new combination usually results. The
offspring of the cross may be fairly
desirable, bat for breeding purposes
they are always uncertain. For in
stance, in crossing a Guernsey with a
Holstein the offspring inherit the
quality of the HolStein and quantity
of the Guernsey fully as often as they
inherit the quantity Of the Holstein
and quality of the Guernsey.
The dairyman will do best to
choose the breed that best suits his
tastes and meets the market require
ments. Select good individuals of a
certain breed, and use a registered
sire of superior merit both as TO type
and as to production. Then the build
ing up Of a go~od-lcoking herd having
high average production is reasonably
certain

Dairy Squibs


Keep salt in the pasture salt box
every day.
The dairy COW must have what pro-
TEN she needs or she cannot produce
milk economically.
The consumer of dairy products ap-
preciates quality and is willing to pay
for products that are clean and
wholesome.
To make milk u more potent source
Of vitamine . In a practical way,
cows should be given access to fresh,
green pasture as long as possible dur
ing the pasture season.
Calf pals should be kept as clean
as the milk pals. Dirty pals cause
scours and make unthrifty calves.
Dairy cows should have all of the
salt they want. The quantity con-
sumed will vary with the kind of feed
and the size of the animal.
You may tame a lion by beating

you beat a COW, you won't get much
more milk from her than you would
