GREGORY, Author of "Home Course In Modern Agriculture," "Making Money on the Farm." Etc. Copyright. 1609, by American Press Association. HEN properly carried on dairying is one of the most profitable branches of live stock farming. The -work is somewhat confining, but that is not a serious objection as long as the profits keep coming in. As shown in article 3, dairying removes less fertility from the farm than any other branch of live stock farming. Dairying is adapt ed to many localities where general farming cannot be carried on. Low, wet land or that too hilly to be culti vated can be profitably utilized as pasture for dairy cows. There is lit tle danger of the dairy business being overdone. As population Increases, the demand for dairy products becomes greater. The dairy cow produces food more economically than any other class of farm animals. In starting in the dairy business the type of cow to select will depend largely on conditions. For the gen eral farm, where dairying is* more or less of a side issue, the dual purpose cows have many advocates. They give a fair amount of milk and produce calves that feed into satisfactory beef animals. The worst trouble with dual purpose cows is that they cannot be bred true to type with any degree of certainty. Once in awhile an extra FIG XIV.GOOD TSTE OF SHORTHORN. good one will be found, but there is little certainty of her heifer calves being like her. They tend to go either to the beef or dairy type. A whole herd of first class dual purpose cows is hard to obtain and to keep when it has been obtained Selecting the Cows. If dairying is to be made a prominent feature of the farming operations it will pay to go into one of the special ized dairy breeds. These special pur pose dairy cows are machines for turn ing out milk, and the best ones do it effectively and breed true to type. There is little choice between breeds The Jerseys give very rich milk, but are small in size and cannot stand un favorable conditions well. Holsteins are hardier, larger and can use more rough feed to advantage Their calves can be turned into quick and profitable veal, and their large milk flow means more skimmilk for calves and pigs. Where milk is being sold the small per centage of fat is a disadvantage. Guernseys are hardier than Jerseys. They give a little more milk with a lit tle lower percentage of fat. The milk is valuable for city trade because of a high percentage of solids other than fat. Far more important than breed is in dividuality. There are three things to be taken into consideration in select ing a dairy cowtype, performance and pedigree. The dairy type is gen erally recognized as being wedge shap ed, wide and deep behind and nar rower in front. The three most impor tant points to look for are quality, con stitution and capacity. The skin should be pliable and the horns and hair fine. A coarse animal is seldom a satisfac tory milk and butter producer. There should be no tendency to lay on fat. A dairy cow is worked to the limit dur ing most of her life and must have a strong constitution to keep up under the strain. This is indicated by a roomy chest and large nostrils. The capacity of the cow is of two kinds, digestive and milk producing. She must have good digestive capac ity, as shown by a long, deep, roomy barrel, in order to be able to handle the amount of feed necessary to fur nish material for a large milk yield. Milk producing capacity is indicated by a large, well balanced udder, ex tending well forward and well up be tween the legs behind. The veins which run forward from the udder should be large and twisted, as this is an indication of a large milk flow. Some cows have a digestive capacity too large for their milk producing ca pacity, while some are the other way. The most economical producer of milk is obtained when these two are bal anced. The teats should be long and well placed for convenience in milk ing. By far the most important point in selecting a cow is her performance record. This shows just how much milk and butter she can produce in a given time. Directions for testing cows will be given later. The pedigree of a dairy cow is val uable mainly for the performance rec ords of her ancestors. The record of her grandmother on her sire's side is especially important as a good cow _.1W_ Is more liable to transmit her qualities I article 10 through her sons than through her daughters. Another point that should not be neg- J3 lected. especially If milk or cream is being sold. is. buying cows subject to the tuberculin test. It is definitely known that tuberculosis can be trans mitted from cows to man through the milk. It will pay to keep only cows that are known to be free from dis ease. In the hands of an experienced veterinarian the tuberculin test can be relied on to give satisfactory results. Selecting the Bull. The selection of a bull to head the herd is of fully as great importance as the selection of the cows. The main points to look for in a dairy bull are quality, constitution and roominess of barrel. He should be of good disposi tion, but should show plenty of mascu linity in a strong head and a thick crest A bull that looks like a cow will not have the ability to reproduce his good points in his offspring with any degree of certainty. The bull's pedigree is also important. The rec ords of his mother and other female ancestors are very good indications of the. inherent milk producing qualities that he possesses. In most cases it pays to breed dairy cows for fall calving. The greatest milk flow will then come in the winter, when there is no field work to do. Then when grass comes the milk flow Is stimulated, and the cow is kept up to her maximum production for the longest possible time. When cows that calve in the spring are put on dry feed In the fall the milk yield is reduced and the total yearly product lessened. The cow should always be dried up at least three weeks before calving, even if she is still giving a consider able quantity of milk. She will come through the ordeal of calving in enough better shape to make up for the milk lost. A day or two previous to calv ing she should be shut up by herself somewhere and given loosening and cooling feeds, such as bran mashes with a little oilmeal added. Some one should always be with the cow when she calves in order to render any assistance that may be necessary, though if the cow is in good health she will usually have no difficulty The worst trouble to which highly bred dairy cows are subject is milk fever, which is described in article 5 The calf should be given the farst milk, as this T\ ill start its digestive system to working The milk will be all right to use in four or five days if the cow is not sick. Until that time the calf may be allowed to suck. Disposing of the Calves. The question ot what to do with the calves is an important one on the dairy farm. The heifers should generally be saved, as some of them will be needed to replace some of the cows in the herd, and the others can be readily sold at good prices Probably the best way to dispose of the bull calves is to veal them. After they are from ten days to two weeks old they should be changed to skimmilk gradually, raking two or three days to make the complete change. It will not be long after this until they will begin to eat a little cornmeal. if it is given after they have had their milk and are looking for something to suck. The meal may be increased in amount slowly, being care ful not to teed more than they will eat up clean The care and feed of the heifer calves which are to be kept for cows should be much the same as advised for steer calves in a preceding arti cle, except that the grain ration should consist of oats or bran instead of corn. The heifers should be kept growing well, but should not be given fattening feeds or feed of any kind in large enough quantities to cause them to be come fat. If the tendency to lay on fat is developed in a heifer she is lia ble to continue to fatten after she is grown. In case the calves get to scouring, a little blood meal put in the milk will stop it. The amount of milk should never be more than eight to ten quarts a day. Most of the failures in raising skimmilk calves are caused by feed ing too much milk or by putting grain into the milk. Plenty of clover hay should be kept where the calves can get at it. Fed in this way, they will make profitable veal at from eight to ten weeks of age. In order to tell just which cows are the most profitable it pays to keep record of them. The most practicable way to do this is to weigh the milk for six consecutive milkings once a month at the same time each month Multiplying the average of these six weights by the number of days in the month gives the amount of milk pro- FIG. XV.GOOD TYPE OF DAIBY COW duced during the month. To deter mine the amount of fat in the milk a sample should be taken from each of the six milkings. Before taking the samples the milk should be well mixed by pouring from one dish to another several times. The samples should be proportional to the size of the milking In warm weather a formaldehyde tab let should be put in the milk to keep it from spoiling until it can be tested Most creamerymen are glad to do test ing for their patrons, or you can do it yourself with a small hand tester. A four bottle tester, with equipment for testing, can be bought for about $5. Directions for testing will be given in OUR FIRST MWT- 0m Ru, an lt Curiu R..u. h*A CumU Regulations. The first United States mint at Phil adelphia was naturally a very unpre tentious affair. The* material for coin age was secured from abroad. There was found much difficulty to get any one of experience to operate the coin age, and the salary list of the first mint employees was: David Ritten house, director. $2,000 per annum Tristram Dalton. treasurer, $1,200 Henry Voight, coiner, $1,500 Isaac Hugh, clerk, $312. The regular coinage of copper began in 1793, silver in 1794 and gold in 1795 The following curious extracts are taken from the mint rules and regula tions of the early days: "The allowance under the name of drink money is hereafter to be discon tinued. "The operations of the mint through out the year are to commence at 5 o'clock in the morning. "Christmas day and the Fourth of Julyand no other daysare estab lished holidays at the mint. "He (watchman) will keep in a prop er arm chest, securely locked, a mus ket and bayonet, two pistols and a sword. "The watchman must attend from 6 o'clock in the evening to 5 o'clock in the morning, must ring the yard bell every hour and send the watchdog through the yard immediately after ringing the bell." Besides the Philadelphia mint, which is now established in palatial quarters at Seventeenth and Spring Garden streets, there aremints at San Fran cisco. Denver and New Orleans and an assay office at Carson Citv. OLD LONDON BRIDGE. it Linked the Twelfth Century With the Eighteenth. For centuries old London bridge, with its double row of houses, was the home of generations who lived and traded over the Thames waters. Holbein lived and painted there. Os borne, the prentice lad, leaped through a window in the house of his master. Sir William Hewet, to the rescue of Sir William's daughter, who had fallen into the swollen flood of the river be low, and by winning her for his wife laid the foundation of the ducal house of Leeds Crispin Tucker had his shop on the bridge, to which Pope and Swift and many another author of fame made pilgrimages to purchase books and gossip with the waggish shopkeeper. Crocker's Dictionary was printed "at the Looking Glass on Lon don biidcre." and gigantic corn mills dominated the south end of the struc ture, not many vards from the wonder ful Nonsuch House, a huge wooden pile with turrets and cupolas brought from Holland. Such in brief outline was the London bridge which linked the twelfth with the eighteenth century and which when it was on its last tottering legs was removed to give place to its fine successor of our day. the stone in which is said to be "nearly double that employed in building St Paul's cathedral."Montreal Standard His Danger. In these days of almost pre-eminent German music and musicians it is rather amusing to read the opinions of former generations concerning Teu tonic singers. Frederick the Great was so impo litely unpatriotic as to declare that he would rather hear the neighmg of a horse than the singing of a German prima donna. Perhaps in his day there was some excuse for such a remark, but the times have changed. There is a diverting anecdote of an Italian who was convinced that no German could sing. A friend induced him to go to the opera where Hen riette Sontag sang After hearing her first ana the Italian got up to go. The friend urged him to stay, assuring him that he would be convinced soon. "I know it," repied the Italian, "and that's why I go." Doves and Coronations. At the ancient ceremonies of coro nation of the French kings after the anointing had been performed some white doves were let loose in the church. This was supposed to symbol ize the power of the Holy Ghost in di recting the king's actions. A similar idea seems to have inspired all early kings, for among the English regalia is the rod of equity or the scepter with the dove. This is simply a golden rod with a mound at the top, which sup ports a cross. On this cross is a dove, fashioned of white enamel, with ex panded wings. Some fine diamonds or nament the rod in various places. Gender of Garlic. "Why is garlic masculine gender?" asked the man who markets. "It must be masculine because the greengrocers I buy from call it 'he.' They are most ly Italians and ought to know the sex of garlic if anybody does. Of all the vegetables and aromatic herbs I buy garlic is the only one to which mas culine virtues are ascribed. Every thing else is neuter. To call garlic 'it' would be an insult. The garlic, he is fresh, he is fine, he is cheap, he is dear. Funny, isn't it?" New York {Times. He Had Quit. "You say you have quit smoking?" "Yep never going to smoke again." "Then why don't you throw away those cigars?" "Never! I threw away a box of good cigars the last time I quit smoking, and it taught me a lesson."Houston Post Not what you do. but how you do it, to the test of your capacity.Btudley. ^e stfiv i i Farmers* Exchange and Gen'l Store I "HEREIS I SOMETHING EVERY FARME (First Pub April Citation for Hearing on Petition for Probate of Foreign Will.
