FAEM AND GARDEN.
The Dairy Benefited by
the
Application of Science.
KEEP ANIMALS FREE OF WORRY.
Breed and Feed for Practical .Use
Rather Than for Show
Short Pointers.
The farmer who keeps a good dairy has
a more constant source ot income "than
one engaged in almost any other branch
of fanning.
Tlie trouble with a very large amount
of dairy butter is a lack of skill and sys
tem in its manufacture; hence the qual
ity is often variable.
A cow is a good cow simply because
she has an increased capacity for turning
raw material into the kind of product
the dairyman wants.
Breed and feed for practical use rather
than for show. The time will come when
practical points will be more appreciated
tnan mere snow points.
Have plows, harrows and all tools
ready for use a little paint will not hurt
some of them when you have the bolts
all in and nuts tightened.
The quality of milk that a cow can
produce depends upon her breed and in
dividuality, and in this sense there is
more in the breed than feed.
Try and keep the brightest of the bovs
on the farm. It wiil afford plenty of ex
ercise for his brains and for all the
knowledge that he can accumulate.
One of the principal advantages that
the creamery has over the dairy is that
as soon as tlie milk or cream reaches the
creamery it is in the hands of skilled
workmen.
Kesutts are the products of causes. If
von see better stock in your neighbor's
fields than are in vourown, vou mav be
pretty sure that he is a mbre careful
breeder and feeder.
Dairying is by the demands of the
market divided into three branches
milk, butter and cheese and in buying
cows you must get the right kind of a
cow for your business.
At present relative prices wheat is per
haps a cheaper food for stock than oats
or corn. Test it, and if you find this
true, do not let a mere matter of senti
ment stand in the way of feeding it.
"Quick turns" in cattle-growing mean
" large profits;" at least, larger than can
be had in any other way. Don't keep
on feeding a pig or a steer until there is
danger that it will die from old age.
Do you appreciate the value of wheat
bran for feeding young stock? At pres
ent prices we doubt if tliere is anything
that can be used to better advantage to
supplement the pastures and make rapid
glow LU,
Keep all animals free from worry if
you want them to thrive. The horse" iu
order to work well; the cow that she
may give much milk; the hog and the
steer, if you expect to fatten them
cheaply.
There has been no branch of agricult
ure more directly benefited bv tlie appli
cation of science than the dairy. Con
sequently there is no branch that gives
a better reward to the intelligent and
studious farmer.
There are a number of things about
the dairy that we see termed " first es
sentials." Vou all know the list. But
in our opinion the one essential is a good
dairyman. Given that, and all else fol
lows in due course.
The interest manifested in dairy
schools wherever thev have been held is
a reason why increased eilbrt should be
made to atlbrd instruction in this line.
Better dairy products will result and a
better income from the farm.
A prime article of milk is necessary as
a preliminary to the manufacture of good
butter. To secure this there must be
(food cows, good feed and good care.
Don't imagine that you can neglect one
of these things and have complete suc
cess. There are seventy-eight butter and
cheese factories in New Zealand. Farm
ers receive about 2 cents a gallon for
milk, and the butter is forwardod to En
gland. The freight clmrge for the entire
distance of 12,000 miles is about 3 cents
a pound.
RAISINO CALVES BV HAND.
Getting calves well started and taught
to drink is an important point. There
i s a di tference of opin ion as to tlie met hod
of procedure. If taken awav from the
cow at once, they are more easily taught
to drink, and cows are probahlv'less dis
turbed than when they are allowed to
suck for a few or several davs before
feeding by hand is begun, for" thev are
then much stronger and are less inclined
to take kindly to feeding from the pail.
Calves need the colostrum or first milk
to put their digestive system in ir.,.!
condition, as it acts as a physic and
cleans the fetal matter from tlie intes
tines. It should alwavs be given to
calves fed by hand. Young cows with
their first calf often fret hadlv, and
hold" their milk when the 'calf is
taken away after having been allowed to
suck for a time. Removing them at once
ih open to this objection. "Thev must be
fed often for a few davs. This takes
time, at a season when it cannot be well
spans! from other work, while if thev
are allowed to run with the cow thev re
quire little attention until taken awav,
w hen they can wait half-dav intervals
and be fed noons and " chore times."
Warm their milk to blood heat until
thev are two to four months old, and it
is better if it is warmed for the large
ones also. Put some linseed meal or
linseed-meal gruel, made bv Killing or
steeping it in water, into their milk to
make up for the cream which has Kvn
skimmed off. Later a little wheat bran
can K added, and when thev are cood
stfed calves some comment in addition .
will prove beneficial. Increase the quan
tity of grain added as thev grow larger.
Provide a good pasture of clover or mixed
grasses for them, and do not pasture it
too closely. When thev are old enough
to wean they can be gradually changed
to a grain ration, and their growth will
not lie checked. Calves raised bv hand
can le made to do as well as those al
lowed with the cow, but it requires much
work, careful attention and regular feel
ing to aecompijeh it.
