of the ears and In a narrow line along
tbe back. Horns, which are rather
short, are waxy aid with black tips.
None is black and, with the mouth,
surrounded by a mealy colored band.

THE DAIRYMAN.
The ways of the cow should be
studied. Some will give more milk on
one kind of food than on another.
Some are easily injured with concen
trated grain. Others do not like cer
tain kinds of feed and will waste it.
Keep the Cows Comfortable.
The cold rainstorms and the frosty
b- i nights are on us and our cows are
ed laws of hereditary ':!. the pe- j happiest In a comfortable stable. The
cullarities of oth-r brec-ds with which 'most careless observer is aware that
this might have been crcs-ied would - ill usage or neglect has a decided ef

horses if possible, for two or three
days, and It may then be turned out In
the daytime and fetched up at night
A f'ai's future depends a great deal
on bow It is treated during the first
winter of its existence: therefore to do
full justice It is essential that it should
be liberally but not lavishly fed from
weaning time till the time arrives tbe
following spring to turn away Into
some luxuriant pasture for the summer.
To keep a foel on short commons
with the idea of reducing the cost of
the keep is, according to the old say
ing, cent wise and dollar foolish.
I'oals invariably do best when they
have com pan v, and If two or threa
I foals can live together so much the bet
ter. Uefore they are turned out in the
morning they may have a feed of
craned oats, chopped hay and bran.
The same ration may be given when
they are brought in again at night,
with the addition of an armful of
whole hay.
An occasional linseed mash may
also be given, as it is beneficial In
keeping the bowels open.
Two or three pieces of rock salt in
the manger for them to lick Is also a
xr thing.
After the mare has left the foal steps
must be taken to suppress the secre
tion of milk, and with that object in
view dry food and plenty of exercise I
may be given. I
A small quantity of milk may be
drawn away daily, and rubbing the
udder with molasses has also been
found beneficial.
A dose of physic will also hasten the
process, but it should be withheld If i

Stanchion For Ringing Hogs.
There is a difference of opinion about
go uo ttch HiguH of crosses with for- ; change, but Insufficient or poor feed i tbe desirability of putting rings In
eign brr-eds have ever been exhibited.
This Integrity of the breed Is ail the
more important because many of the
tralM exhibited by these cattle are
among the most valuable.
from actual observation we find
they cross well with other breeds, pro
ducing a very desirable grade of cat
tle. Many importations of Hwfss catlle
have been made Into this country. A
herd was imported recently to the cen
tral states, and the progeny of a herd
A IsUOW.V BWIKS CO.
that was imjiorted several years be
fore and whii'h has been scattered
through all the states has resulted In
the production of some remarkably
g'Xd dairy cows. The Jirowu KwUs
have lf-ii given a good try out In
Green county. Wis., where they have
proved to be an excellent and hardy
breed of dairy cattle, l;-M-s the gen
erous flow of milk each cow will pro
duce a healthy and hardy calf and
keep up the i-erforinnnre year In and
year out. We find It no uncommon
thing for cows to produce sixty pounds
of milk T day ami to be milked up
to cubing time. At the age of eight
een to twenty years the Swiss cow Is
still profitable without Including her
calf.
There are many classes of cattle, but
In none of the herds lib Ii I have In
spected bine I seen cattle that I con- j
sldend the fijiinl of the Swiss Hbck.

the pure mountain ulr of the Alps,

and undue exposure will cause a per-
i rnanent depression in the production
; that no amount of feed or later atten
j tlon w 111 bring up to the normal.
Like a Bank.
The silo has been likened to a sav
ings bank by some writers. They
! claim that the deposits are made dur
jing the summer season and the drafts
(are honored during the winter. Corn
j that might otherwise be lost Is put in
the silo, and in the winter it provides
jan abundance of excellent feed which
good cows would rapidly turn Into
good profits. It Is a well known fact
that this form of succulence Is espe
cially economical and yields the best
returns in dairying. Silage Is good
for all kinds of farm stock, but it is
found to lie especially profitable when
fed to cows.
Some Good Advice.
A prominent dairyman gives this
advice: lietter not raise calves at ali
unless they are kept growing all the
time. Stunted calves are hardly worth
the trouble of bringing to maturltv.
The cow that remains fat during the
full milking period should be viewed
with suspicion. It Is likely that too
much of her food goes to flesh Instead
of milk. The essentials for the dairy
row are a dry fhxir, n good bedding
and warm stable, plenty of wholesome
fed and Hire water, f'ream that con
tains too much Kklmmilk and Is too old
will foam. Never add hot water to
the cream. It should le taken from
the churn and heated by placing the
pan In a pan of hot witter mid stirring
until l he desired temperature is n ached.
CARE OF THE FOAL
! hogs' noses. Those who favor the
) practice usually do the work by main
j strength and awkwardness. The illus-
trution shows a stanchion that may be
i built Into the fence in the corner of
the pen or it may form one end of a
large crate and
be placed Just
outside of the
pen so the hogs
may be driven
into It one at a
time through a
small gate or
doorway. One

mirfaco of this pool, upon which It lin
liusllalcly spreads and forms a coating.
The hot; do not dUIIke this till, ninl
frc.iiciitly they wallow Just the same.
Wean Slowly, Feed Liberally and Han
dle the Animal Before Weaning.
The most suitable way to wean a
foal Is to liegln to keep him from his
dam two or three hours daily, increas
ing the time till they lire together from
about 1 p. in. to about 1 a. m., finally
parting them some morning or some
evening.
A dally feed of crushed oats mingled
with n Utile chopped bay and hrau
given to the foul a week or two before
weaning w ill soon teach him to he in
dependent of the mother, but care must
be taken not to allow the niaro to have
access to (he manger while the foal Is
eating. She would pinbahlv eat it her
self. I'.ef'oro the foal Is weaned It Is Im

other stands with

chion is shut Just behind bis ears and
he Is held firmly until the rings are
adjusted. Two men in this way can
ring a pen full of hogs In a very short
time and with very little labor. As
soon as the rings are adjusted the
stanchion Is opened and the hog per
mitted to pass on through.
An Object Lesson.
One of the best examples of suc
cessful modern dairying and one of
the most instructive is the experience
of Charles Toss of Illinois. He In
creased the income of his ninety acre
farm from $1,000 to well over $2,000
and believes that he can double the
Income again along the same lines.
The best of It Is that his methods
would seem to apply In almost any
dalty section. I'robubly his own ex
planation of his success Is the best.
He says, "This Improvement has
come about by weighing and testing
the milk, by selling the low producers,
buying and raising better cows, using
the silo and feeding a more nearly
balanced ration, und by studying and
supplying the Individual needs of the
cow."
I a plan very similar to the Babcock. In
I brief, it consists of the precipitation of
' the casein by dilute acetic acid, treat
ment with chloroform to dissolve the
fat. and the separation of tbe casein
from the mixture by centrifugal force.
Unlike the fat, the casein is heavier
than tbe rest of the solution, and ac
cordingly the bottles used in testing
are of quite different type.
This test Is by no means so simple
as the Babcock. Country Gentleman
says It Is better adapted to use in the
laboratory than In the dairy and that
It is doubtful if It will prove of much
direct usefulness to tbe dairy farmer.
To some the test appears Important
in the possibility which It offers of the
development of dairy herds for the
specific purpose of producing milk rich
in casein for the manufacture of
cheese.
Useful Instrument For Dairymen.
A small silver, nickel plated or hard
rubber tube Is sometimes used to draw
the milk from a sore teat and Is a
useful Instrument to have on the dairy
farm. It Is simply inserted into the
milk channel, when most of the milk
will run out without any squeezing or
sucking. But It ahould be U6ed wltb
great care, so as not to injure the teat

Curing a Puller.
It Is claimed by one who has tried
It that a driving horse that pulls on
the bit tail be cured by fastening a
Kiuall ring on each side of the bridle
and as near the brow baud as possible.
Pass I lie lines through bit rings and
snap t lii' id Into the rings at the brow

It can be used on a fast horse in

It Is cheap and easily applied, and It
won't make the mouth sore.
Indications of Disease.
An Irregular pulse In a horse is a
strong symptom of grave disease. In a
healthy horse the pulse beats thirty
two to thirty-eight per minute, but
forty-eight per minute may not de
note disease lu some horses. To take
the pulse place the linger of the right
hand across the artery below the Jaws,
holding the watch In the left hand, and
count the beats. A rise of temperature
aliove 11)0 degrees denotes that some
thing Is wrong. To take the tempera
ture use a thermometer, liy practice
a high temperature can be easily de
tected by inserting the hand in the
mouth of the animal. Cold legs and
cold ears and cold sweat are bad symp
toms. DlthYult and quick breatulnir

Feeding Wheat to Horses.
Owing to the very high price of corn
and oats many farmers have since har-
esi ueen reeding wheat to their
horM-a. Wheat Is about the poorest of
an lue grains aa horse feed, not on ac
count of Its lack of nutritive qualities,
but by reason of the fact that It
fonua a pasty masa In the equine stom
ach. Consequently If t Is Bt fed
with great care In limited amount
and with sn adequate supply of some
