calves.
WORK OF MILKING MACHINES
Test Made by United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture in Dairy
Regions of Many States.
The United States department of ag
riculture has put out a bulletin on
milking machines. They made studies
in dairy regions in New York, Michi
gan, Ohio and Illinois. They found
that in herds of 15 cows or less the
average time required to milk a cow
by hand is a fraction over seven min
utes, and by machine a fraction under
five minutes. In herds of 50 cows the
average time required is seven min
utes, but by machine just a little more
than four minutes.
The cost per year to milk a cow In a
herd of 15 cows or less is $10.91 by
hand, and .$10.45 when the herd num
bered 50 cows or more. With machines
the cost was $11.75 per cow in herds of
15 cows or less, against $7.34 per cow
per year with 50 cows or more in the
herd.
In computing these figures, a total
of 156 farms were investigated. Inter
est on the investment, the value of
gas and oil, the cost of repairs, de
preciation and labor were all consid
ered. SCOURS IN YOUNG ANIMALS
Generally Result of Overfeeding or
Use of Unclean Utensils Best
to Reduce Feed.
Scours in our animals is generally
fte result of overfeeding or feeding
from unclean troughs or buckets, or
from feeding food that is stale. Milk
fed to calves should either always be
sweet, or always be sour. If It Is one
(t one time and the other the next,
it will result In scours.
The buckets should be as carefully
scalded out as are the pails in which
aJ milking is done.
Mnsty or bin-burned grain should not
H particularly to young animals.
Wheu the calf gets too much milk
or the young pig gets too much feed,
e have scours, possibly thumps in
the pig.
The best remedy is to reduce the
amount of feed, clean up the troughs
md buckets, and give a good dose of
castor oil. Two ounces is a dose for a
yj,f. and from a teaspoonful to a des-

HANDLING STOCK WITH DOGS
Well-Trained Collie I Unfailing
Source of Help and Satisfaction
Teach Him to Mind.
Upon farms where ctock is kept, a
well-broke collie dog is an unfailing
source of help and satisfaction, while
an unbroken, untrained dog is a con
tinual nuisance. In handling stock
with a dog, it is important that the dog
be well trained, and that great care
be exercised while the animals are get
ting used to being managed by him.
When these two conditions are fulfilled
it is surprising how easily and eco
nomically stock can be taken care of.
The first essential in breaking a dog
for any purpose is to teach him to
mind. Dogs are intelligent and affec-

tionate animals and are usually grati
fied to do the will of their master. If
possible, an animal should be broken
to mind without fear of punishment.
In breaking dogs to handle stock it is
a great advantage to have stock that
Is used to being driven by a dog, upon
which to break the puppy. Stock that
is not used to a dog is often easily
frightened, or it may fight the dog. It
is an excellent plan to have an older
and well-broken dog to assist in the
training, as dogs are imitative. The
puppy quickly learns what is wanted
by association with the older dog. In
training dogs avoid shouting. It is as
easy to teach them to mind a single
word or a whistle, and much more sat
isfactory, and remember that much
more can be accomplished by kind
ness than harshness.
RIGHT WAY TO CATCH SHEEP
Take Animal Either by Hind Leg or
Put Hand Under Jaw Never
Grab It by Its Wool.
An experienced sheep breeder and
flock master says never catch a sheep
by the wool. This causes the animal
unnecessary pain. But this is not all.
When you catch the sheep by the wool
you are likely to pull out the wool,
thus leaving a bruised place in the
flash of the animal. If the sheep is to
be sold for mutton the flesh will show
this bruised condition.
The proper w ay to catch a sheep is
to take it either by the hind leg just
above the gambrel point or by putting
the hand underneath the lower jaw
or neck. In using a crook it is impor
tant that the sheep are not caught be
low the gambrel joint, as injury to the
leg is liable to result from this.
UTILIZE STRAW FOR CATTLE
Strict Economy Should Be Observed
and Valuable Use Made of This
Neglected Product.
On many farms where strict econ
omy is observed valuable use is made
of straw of all kinds. Frequently the
straw is chopped up and mixed witb
other foods such as beets, mangles and
silage, so as to make the food more
palatable. Some farmers are so care
ful to get the fullest value out of straw
that after it has Deen useu iui ""
and later distributed over their fields,
it is raked up again and used for bed
ding, after lying on the ground until
it becomes clean.
POLL EVIL CAN BE AVOIDED
Hard and Badly-Fitting Straps and
Low Ceilings and Doorways, Are
Cause of Trouble.
Poll evil, an inflamed condition of
the horse's poll, very liable to the for
mation of deep-seated abscesses may
be in many instances prevented, since
the principal causes of this complaint
are Sard l and badly-fitting head straps

TIMELY PREPARATION
From the farm management stand
point it is always a great deal better
to have things ready for the silo long
before they are needed. It does not
bake any more time to see that the
inives of the cutter are sharpened and
ihat the binder Is In good working or
ier at one period of the year than it
Joes at another and it may mean a
good many dollars to the rancher,
writes C. W. Pugsley, in Field and
Farm. No money is saved by attempt
ing to get along with too little help.
Pilling the silo at the best is rather
heavy work and as a rule we do not
like that part of it which demands the
handling of heavy bundles of corn. If
teams and men enough are on hand to
complete the work in a short time and
less trouble will be experienced in get
ting help.
Heaviest Expenses.
One of the heaviest expenses in con
nection with filling is the cost of an
engine and an engineer, and when an
outfit is hired the farmer should see
that It is used to full capacity. This
FARMER CANNOT AFFORD
can only be done by supplying a suffi
cient amount of labor to keep every
thing running. Some farmers favor
a smaller cutter and letting the filling
period extend over more time. In some
instances this Is probably an eco
nomical practice. I know one man
who uses a small cutter with a chain
carrier the type that demands the
least power and runs it with his
farm gasoline engine. He uses the or
dinary help of the ranch with perhaps
an additional mar. or two and extends
the filling of a hundred ton silo over a
period of a week. This of course has
the disadvantage very often of allow
ing part of the corn to become too
rinp ns it is now, while that which
was put In first may be a little green.
Different Cutters.
The cutter selected will depend
somewhat upon the kind of silo and
upon the system of filling adopted. If
co-operative filling is practiced an Ohio
blower cutter of large capacity will
probably give best results. If the
grower, is filling his own silo and de
sires to own his machine, a cutter with
knives from 14 to 20 Inches, depending
upon the capacity of the silo, will give
the best results. If the silo is above
ground a blower cutter should be used
by all means. If he has an under
ground silo he can get along with a
chain carrier. No matter the style of
cutter, it should have a distriDUtor.

Evenly Distributed.
In this manner the ensilage is evenly
distributed all over the silo, which la
not the case when the cut corn merely
falls from the top either with a blowei
or chain carrier. The heavier parts
of the ensilage such as kernels and
pieces of ears will fall closer to the
point of distribution, while the llghtei
portions, the husks and the stalks will
be scattered further away. This makes
it necessary to fork over the ensilage
and with the greatest of care the corn,
husks and stalks are not evenly dis
tributed. The distributor will give an
absolutely uniform distribution and
will save the labor of at least one man

Weeds, Now Useful.
A score of years ago bur clover wa

menace to lawns, gardens and fields
that all feared to encourage it. Latei
it became a famed cover crop. Like
Wise Melilotus Indica, the yellow-flowering
melilot, is now a high-grade
cover crop for dry lands. Yet for all
time it has been a vile weed knowr
to all.
