ESTABLISHING THE
COW'S MILK FLOW.
The time to bring herd of cows up
to their maximum uiilk production U
shortly after they nave calved. For a
wk or two after cow has dropped
her calf cre must be taken nt to
overfeed ber. for there is great danger
f dolug Injury. t least for that period
of lactation, Myt Hoard rialrynian.
Feed lightly at Bret, gradually lnereas
lug the allowance as the animal re
covers from the strain of parturition
and so long as she responds generously
to the Increased amount of feed.
For a cow weighing 1.000 pounds It
la well to feed daily thirty pounds of
silage and from eight to twelve pounds
of good clover or alfalfa hay. The
amount of grain fed will depend to a
large degree upon the capacity of the
nw and ber ability to do work. It
b well to begin with an allowance of
only three to four pounds of feed dally
and gradually Increase it so long as
the animal responds with an Increased
flow of milk. Wbeu she censes to do
this, drop the feed a pound or two.
As a rule, cows fed good silage and
clover or alfalfa hay and produce milk
testing from 3 to 4 per cent will re
quire Dot more than one pound of
grain for each four pounds of milk
produced. We consider this generous
Photo by Kansas Agricultural coug
Maid Henry, the cow here shown,
la a thirteen-year-old Holatein own
ed by the Kansas Agricultural col
lege. In the last ten months she
has made a net profit of 156i5l for
her owners. Her output In that
time was 8,532 quarts, which sold
for i centa a quart. It would have
made 72t pounds of butter. She was
fed corn chop, bran, oUmeat, a few
ground oats, alfalfa hay and com
and cane silage. The average coat
of her feed waa about 40 cents a
day, or J120 for the ten monthm.
The total value of her mil a at I
centa a quart waa KS2.5&
feeding. Of coarse If It la the object
Of the feeder to make a large record
to show the extreme ability of the cow
it would not be considered enough.
TTe look upon the cow as an animal
that has two functions to perform
milk production and the production of
strong calf. ' If a higher record Is to
be made the animal should not be bred
for five or six months and maybe long
er after calving, but if good dairy
work Is desired and there Is bd object
In raising a good, strong calf the ani
mal should be bred about three months
after dropping her calf. This will per
mit ber to freshen once a year, and If
she is not forced she will give birth
to strong and healthy calves. A rest
of from six to eight weeks should be
provided.
, Cows that have established their
milk flows that is, have been milked
for two months or more cannot be
materially raised in milk production
by any system of feeding. We have
mentioned the use of silage and hay,
which we believe should form the
foundation of all dairy rations, but If
there Is no silage the next best thing
Is roots. If roots are fed then give a
liberal amount of good bay, preferably
clover or alfalfa, and Increase the grain
as we suggested where silage Is Incor
porated into the ration.
I Charcoal For Hogs.
Charcoal, asbes and salt help to keep
the hog's digestive system in good con
dition and should be kept within the
reach of the animals at all times.
Corncobs make good charcoal By
digging a pit about four feet deep and
quite a bit smaller at the bottom than
at the top it is a simple matter to pre
pare the corncob charcoal In tbe right
form for the hogs. Start a fire at the
bottom of the pit and gradually fill tbe
pit with cobs and cover with a sheet
Iron cover as Boon as filled, and In
about twelve hours' time there will be
a good grade of charcoal. Five bushels
of this charcoal, one bushel of wood
ashe3, six pounds of salt, two quarts
of air slaked lime, two pounds of sul
phur and one pound of copperas make
an excellent mixture to place In feed
ing boxes, where the hogs may have
access to it at all times. Such a mix
ture Is at once a food, vermifuge and
tonic.

THE DAIRYMAN.
In selecting a dairy sire wo J
must bear in mind that good
J qualities may be bred out more J
rapidly by the use of aa Inferior
J breeding bull than tbey cau be J
Improved by the use of a well
, bred aire.
Incomplete milking not only
e robs the dairyman of the strip-
J ping, but It damage the cow,
tending to lessen her dally pro-
duetloo and to shorten the p-
rtod of lactation.
Of course we have all learned J
S before this- that long legs are
an Indication of a poor cow. but J
perhaps we do not always lay
enough stress on the fact
Half bred cows give half palla
J of milk.
Olve the cows a chance to get
J under the shed every ulght now.
If too cold keep thetu in the sta- J
I ble.
Keeping the cows comfortable J
is a neglected point 'n ,n man'
agemeut of the herd during the J
fall months.
FEEDING YOUNG SOWS.
An Abundance of Nutritious Feed
Needed For Development.
It is held by most farmers that the
brood sow must be kept iu thin flesh.
Following thhj rule, which is good lu a
way. many farmers allow the sows au
Insufficient amount of feed, and hence
both sow and r Urs sulfer, write V. H.
Underwood in the Iowa Homestead.
Also the young sow farrows before
she is mature In size, and through light
feeding she never attains the size aud
breeding capacity that she would had
she been giveu larger amounts of feed
during all her growing period.
The sow for several well understood
reasons should not be kept too fat, es
pecially at farrowing time. She has,
however, large demands placed upon
ber and hence requires large amounts
of feed to sustain normal vitality. She
needs much feed duriug pregnancy for
the development of the unborn pigs
and for ber own vital needs.
After the pigs are born, during the
suckling period, the sow requires an
extra large amount of nutritious feed
in order to furnish a full flow of milk
for the little pigs and maintain her
own flesh.
Too often the sow at the close of the
suckling period becomes poor and de
pleted in strength. Frequently she Is ab
solutely exhausted and requires many
weeks to regain flesh and strength, if
It la possible to regain all tho loss.
There to no doubt but that this fre
quent flesh and vitality weakening Im
pairs the health and value of tbe ani
mal. Were sbe kept In good round
Chester White swtne have long
been a favorite breed throughout a
large part of the United States. It
is one of the oldest breeds, and Its
good qualities are well known. The
hogs are easily fattened and have
large hams and shoulders. Combi

boar shown, is an excellent speci
men of the breed and has won
many prizes. He la owned by C C
Evans of Iowa,
flesh at all times there Is no question
but that she would live longer and be
more productive in advanced years.
The young sow often grows until
after her second or third litter of pigs.
Then Is the period when maternity
tells on an animal the most. If to tbe
physical drain of giving birth to pigs
and suckling them Is added the stunt
ing effect of too light feeding the
young sow cannot possibly attain ber
highest development This will not
only affect her future earning power.
but will also affect tbe profits in her
pigs. They will to some extent Inherit
ber undersize and weakness, and the
future stock will be small and poor,
If the young sow is kept In good.
round flesh until after full maturity
she will have a chance to develop Into
a large mother animal and be able to
transmit her size and strong vitality
to her offspring. If she carries an
abundance of flesh and some fat nearly
equal to that of the prime finished hog
for market she will have a surplus for
the draining weeks of maternity and
not become so poor at any time that
her system Is materially weakened.
It is much easier to maintain a sow
In good flesh than to restore It after
!t has been lost, and It Is better in
erery way fur the animal. A good
sow may lie fully half the herd In giv
ing quality to the pigs If she Is given
sullicient feed and care to make mani
fest her full powers.
Fall Born Lambs.
There Is ample evidence to support
the contention that the best sheep de
velop from fall born lambs that are
dropped during the early part of Oc
tober, writes D. II. iJaey In the Iowa
Homestead. At this time the weather
conditions are quite Ideal for the rapid
and promising development of the
lambs. In addition, at this season of
the year, destructive parasites are
prominent by their absence. By the
'
fiiowmK spring the lambs are nearly
