Perpetuating the Good Qualities of the Tested Mothers', Making a Herd
Much Better Than You Can Buy.
It has become an axiom, with some
dairy men, that the best results are
obtainable only with the best breeds
of animals. But success with such
animals implies also the best manage
ment; and not every beginner is capa
ble of the skillful handling necessary
■with high-bred cows. The higher we
go in the scale of animal life the
more delicate the animal mechanism
becomes, and the greater the need of
wisdom in the human agency which
controls its movements. It is a long
time before a baby can care for itself
as well as can a bronco colt at one
day old. A bronco colt can stand
more simple hardship and abuse than
can a colt of a standard high-bred trot
ting mare or a high-clas draft ani
mal; but the bronco will never have
the-, great speed, at the trot, of the
standard-bred, nor will it grow large
enough to have the power of the
drafter. The scrubby native coxy can
stand more hardship and abuse than
a highly-developed dairy cow capable
of doing great work, and the latter
loses her superior commercial value in
unfavorable surroundings and under
unfavorable treatment.
It is found, therefore, that success
in dairying depends as much on the
kind of care and management be
stowed on the herd, as upon the
breed. Care and m^hagement are, for
this reason, given the first considera
tion here. These should include a
much greater degree of attention to
the comfort of the animals than is
ordinarily bestowed. In fact, it can
be demonstrated that the nearer we
coine to applying the Golden Rule
to the treatment of the dairy herd,
and treating its members as we would
like to be treated, the larger will be
the satisfaction and rewards of dairy
» ing.
These are the touchstones of suc
cess. When the cow is comfortable
and contented, she responds with a
flow of milk far in excess of that
which she gives when she has been
uncomfortable and irritated.
Everybody knows that In June
weather cows give a larger amount of
milk than in cold and wintry weather.
If we aim to produce, all the rest of
the year, in stall and barn, conditions
as nearly as possible like those of June
—in warmth, light, freedom from |
flies, etc., with succulent food in the i
CAUSE OF THRUSH
IN HORSES’ FEET
Trouble Due Frequently by Ani
mal Standing in Filthy Stall
and too Dry Floors.
•
(By M. H. REYNOLDS. Veterinarian.
University Farm. St. Paul. Minn.)
This trouble is due quite frequently
to standing in manure or other filth,
which alters the condition of the horn
and may be accompanied or followed
by infection. Long continued stand
ing on very dry floors may lead di
rectly to this trouble. In some cases
thrush seems to be associated with
contraction. The frogs in horses' feet
need exercise just the same as any
other part of the body. When a horse
is shod with high heel and toe calks,
or the wall is allowed to grow down
very long and the horse stands on a
board floor without getting frog pres
sure, the condition of the frog is im
paired and it easily becomes subject
to infection and disease.
Such cases need a clean, dry stall.
The hoof should be properly trimmed;
the diseased parts removed as thor
oughly as possible; and a strong dis
infectant used over the sole of the
foot. Any of the coal-tar disinfectants
may be used in full strength, or even
pure carbolic acid, care being taken
that the disinfectant does not run
down the heel and burn the skin.
After this first strong disinfectant
calomel is s very satisfactory treat
ment for ordinary cases. The calomel
can be dusted over the diseased sur
face and then some thick clay applied
over the entire sole of the foot
i form of silage an.d roots to replace the
June grasses—who shall say that
Bossy will not make ample returns in
•the milk pail?
In nothing have most farmers so
sinned against their herds, probably,
as in the inadequate shelter pro
vided them against winter’s cold
and the hot sun of summer. Warm,
well-lighted and ventilated stables are
essential to a high rate of production.
A sanitary barn should have from four
to six square feet of window space for
each cow kept. Where cows are kept
in the stalls much of the time, it is
not unreasonable to say that the barn
should be light enough for one to read
in. Good ventilation is essential; but
it should be so arranged that the cows
shall not be exposed to a draught.
“While warmth without ventilation is
conductive to disease, ventilation with
out heat is a consumer of feed.’’ The
rage of temperature in the barn
should be kept between 40 and 60 de
grees F. In summer, the shades
should be pulled down, lest the well
lighted barn become too warm. They
will/al so keep out the flies. It is well
to have gunny sacks hung in the door
way, so that, as the cow forces her
way through, the flies will be brushed
off her back.
Nowhere on the farm is cleanliness
more desirable than in the dairy barn.
Stalls and calf-pens should be kept
free from filth and moisture. Plenty
of bedding should be used at all times,
and the pens cleaned out frequently.
If the calf pen is not a large one, it
should be cleaned out every day. In
the gutters, it is well to use common
slacked lime, or wood ashes, as an ab
sorbent.
Cows should not be kept in “an ice
house, a hog pen or a dungeon.” A
dark, damp and dirty place is very
favorable to the growth of bacteria,
which may attack the health of the
animals. Plenty of sunlight keeps the
place dry, purifies the air, and kills
bacteria.
When kept in the barn, cows should
be brushed daily, not only to keep the
dirt and hair from falling into the
milk pail, but to keep the pores of the
skin open. This makes the cow more
comfortable, and it cannot be too often
repeated that anything done to add to
the comfort 'of the cow adds to her
productiveness.
VALUE OF SILAGE
AND CORN STOVER
Interesting Tests Made at Ne
braska Experiment Station
in Cattle Feeding
(By H. R. SMITH. Animal Husbandman,
University Farm. St. Paul. Minn.)
While at the Nebraska experiment
station the writer conducted tests to
determine the relative value of silage
and shredded corn stover (stalks) far
cattle feeding. In order to determine
the amount of stover fed each steer, it
was necessary to husk the corn from
the stalk, and as the cattle were kept
in the barn, shredded stover was more
convenient although more expensive.
The use of bundle corn, however,
would greatly reduce the cost as it
can be harvested and shocked as eas
ily as the ears alone can be husked
from the stalk and cribbed. During
the fail and early winter the use of
bundle-corn containing ears might
even prQve more profitable than the
use of silage.
The further fact that this experi
ment was conducted during the sum
mer months vi'ithout the use of grass
pasture, is evidence that calves can
make very satisfactory gains by using
corn silage and alfalfa as a substitute
for grass.
In sections where enough grass can
not be grown to carry the number of
cattle wanted through the year, but
where a large tonnage of corn can be
grown on a relatively small acreage
the silo will become an important sac
tor for use in summer as wet! as in
winter. w

OTHERS ALSO IN HARD LUCK
Youthful Artist, However, Was in No
Mood to Extend Sympathy to
Fellow Unfortunate.
Two youthful artists having a studio
in Philadelphia, wherein they not only
work, but lodge as well, were obliged
to make shift, not long ago. during a
period of financial stress, with such
meals as they could themselves pre
pare in the studio.
One morning as the younger of the
two was "sketching in” the coffee he
gave utterance to loud and bitter com
plaint. "This is a fine way for gen
tlemen to live I” he exclaimed.
“Oh, I don’t know,” was the airy
comment of his friend. “Lots of peo
ple are far worse off. I was reading
only this morning of a recluse who
cooked his own breakfast for 19
years.”
“He must have been awfully hun

HIRED MAN KNEW THE GAME
His Dexterity on First Base Surprised
the Youngsters Until They Learned
More of His Career.
In the American Magazine Hugh S.
Fullerton writes an article entitled
"The Making of a Big Leaguer.” It is
the story of one of the greatest ball
players in the United States as told
by himself to Mr. Fullerton. This
player was a country boy and, of
course, began to play the game early.
He tells the following story about, an
Incident of his boyhood:
"Father had a hired man named
Ned, a tall, quiet fellow with a pair of
blue eyes that seemed always about
to laugh, but seldom did. He had been
with us a year. He got drunk peri
odically, and after each spree father
hunted him up and brought him back
to work. We asked him to play with
us, and he laughed and said he reck
oned he would try to play first base if
‘paw’ would let him off. I fixed it with
father, and Ned played first barehand
ed, making catches and stops that
filled us with astonishment. Also he
made five home runs, two into the
railroad pond and three into the barn
lot back of left field. Walking home
that evening he toM me he had played
ball professionally, yet it was not until
two, years later that ! learned he once
had been a famous outfielder with a
great team.”

—
Chance Phrases and Ideas That Have
Been Utilized and Found to
Have Real Value.
Richard Mansfield told me that
when he was a lad in London he often
nearly starved. There was a certain
bakeshop where he would go and feast
upon the odors coming from the door.
The boyhood notion gave him the idea
of putting those lines in his play.
"Beau Brummel,” about “dining on
the names of things”—a suggestion
he used with powerful dramatic ef
fect.
This idea of suggestion has done
many a good deed. About ninety
years ago a thirsty 7 man walked up
Wall street—l understand the habit of
getting a thirst no longer prevails
there, or maybe it is only the manner
of allaying it—and pumped a tincup
full of water from bis own well. “Not
so good as I used to get from my fa
ther’s well,” or something to that ef
fect he remarked to his wife. “A pret
ty idea for a song.” said she, and so
he sat down and in an hour wrote
"The Old Oaken Bucket.” —Philadel-
phia Ledger.
Changes Her Mind.
"I used to think Gus Simpson was a
nice young man, our i yust hate him
now.”
"Why, what has he done?”
"He treated me shamefully.”
"In what way?”
“Why, the other evening at a party
I said to him: ‘Let's play the old game
of “Questions.” If I say “Yes” or
“No” to your questions, I owe you a
box of gloves; and if you say "Yes” or
“No,” you'll give me a box.’ ”
Then what?”
“Well, after the party he took me
home, and all the way there he talked
as sweetly as could be about love, and
that man should not live alone and all
that, and when we got to the front
gate he said, 'Fannie, will you marry
me?’ I, of course, answered, Yes,' in
a suppressed voice.”
“And what did he do then?” inquired
her listener, eagerly.
“He just chuckled and said, ‘You’ve
lost, Fannie. I take No. 9s. . Then
laughed with all his might—that’s
what he did.”
No wonder she hated him'
