By W. T. MACOUN. Canada.
If potatoes have not been affected
with late blight or rot the best time to
dig them Is as soon as th# tops have
died If the weather Is favorable, po
tatoes are usually dug just after the
com Is harvsstsd or before the frost
becomes severe enough to freeze the
••11 to the depth of an Inch or so. When
the soil Is well drained and not wet
there Is not much danger to the crop
by leaving It in the ground for this
length of time.
Potatoes which have been killed by
tat* blight will usually rot as soon as
the conditions are favorable, and for

Yellow Fever.
There is a marked peculiarity about
yellow fever which distinguishes It
from most epidemics. It Is essentially
• disease of a hot climate, and It takes
a certain amount and duration ef heat
to awaken It to life. It is said that It
can never prevail where Indian corn
will not ripen.

CONCERNING GARGET.
The Csaic, Symptom, and Treatment
of Till. Dîneuse.
Garget Is an Inflammation of the ud
der and may affect one quarter or more
at a time, writes IX. G. Manchester in
Rural New Yorker. Sometimes it is
confined to the teat. There are a num
ber of causes, such as injuries, as by
kicking, being stepped upon by other
cows, being booked by other cattle, ly
ing on cold and wet floors or frozen
ground. These latter more often occur
when the cow Is fresh and udder dis
tended. The more common cause in
my opinion Is Injudicious feeding, ei
ther too much of a one sided ration—too
much cornmeal, hominy, gluten or cot
tonseed meal will cause garget.
There is also an Infectious garget, be
ginning usuully with a slight swelling
at the toat opening. A scab forms and

a
Cause ot Udder Trouble.
The more highly developed the dairy
cow becomes tbe more important Is It
to give her more consideration at the
close of her laetutlon period, says
Hoard's Dairyman. Frequently a cow
Is supposed to be thoroughly dry and
turned out Into the dry pasture when
she should be kept with the cows that
arc giving milk aud until all secretions
In the udder have stopped. It Is a mis
take to permit the udder to retain any
thick, mattery substance, for undoubt
edly many cases of udder trouble can
be traced to not removing this sub
stance from the udder. Moreover, it Is
not well for the animal to absorb this
material Into her system.

FEEDING FOR. MILK
There are those who think that you
can feed a cow anything under the sun ! «
and have the milk and butter of a good
flavor. Don't let that notion get Into j
a
your head. Feed good sweet things If
you want your butter to bave a nice
flavor.
Pumpkins as Cow F,«l.
It Is an old notion that a cow will
fall in her milk when fed on pumpkins,
but there Is no truth in this theory.
Apple Pomace.
From fifteen to thirty pounds of ap
ple pomace have been fed dally to
dairy animals at the Connecticut sta
tion with satisfactory results. When
fed In a balanced ration It la estimat
ed that -four pounds of apple pomace
is equivalent to one pound of good
bay. Feeders are cautioned against
feeding too large quantities of apple
pomace at first. Judging from all the
data available, It is believed that farm
ers living In the vicinity of cider mills
will find It good economy to utilize the
pomace as a food for their dairy stock.
Peed Liberally.
What to feed and bow much to feed
is often a hard question for the farmer
to answer. A cow weighing 1.00C
pounds and kept In a good barn most
of the time will need about seven
tenths of a pound of digestible pro
tein and seven pounds of carbohydrates
for body maintenance. And it Is what
we feed In excess of this that we get
our profits from. - Kimball's Dairy
Farmer.
a
Producing Milk In Winter.
Silage, clover bay and a proper grata
ration are all good for the purpose.
A feed a day also of oat hay Is fonnd
to be relished. The cows should have
what they will eat clean,, but not to
waste, and the more a good cow can
eat and properly digest the better she
should do.
Feeding Large and Si
To feed moat economically each cow
must be Individually fed and the quan
tity of feed she Is given governed by
her size and the quantity of miUc ah*
produces, says Kimball's Dairy Farm
er. Four pounds of grain dally may
lie us much as some cows can profitably
be given, while others will make most
profitable returns from ten or twelve
pounds. Other things being equal, a
large cow requires more feed than a
small one and a cow giving a large
quantity of milk more than one giving
a smaller quantity.
