Increase Productiveness
of Herd by Better Sires
Keeping books with your cows Is
the only sure way to build a herd of
high producers. By selecting cows on
their records, discarding the unprofit
able ones, using only good pure bred
sires, and raising heifer calves from
the best cows, one Is sure to Increase
the productiveness of the herd.
It Is also advisable to weigh each
milking because It enables one to feed
Intelligently and If sickness, neglect
or abuse has caused a cow to drop In
milk a remedy may be applied before
the loss becomes serious.
Weighing milk creates Interest
among the milkers and encourages
clean milking- and careful treatment
of the cows.
The greatest source of loss to the
dulry Industry Is the unprofitable cow.
A certain cheese factory paid one of
Its patrons $877 for the product of
eight cows while It gave another
patron $SG8 for the milk from 22 cows.
It pays to keep records.
Ropiness in Milk Caused
by Growth of Bacteria
A ropy or slimy condition of milk,
sometimes noticeable after the milk
has stood several hours, Is caused by
the growth of a certain class of bac
teria which gain entrance after the
milk Is drawn.
Though probably not more Injurious
than ordinary sour milk, this condl-1
tlon Is especially troublesome, as the
bacteria are passed along through ves
sels and otherwise to other milk and
even to the dairies of an entire com
munity. The remedy Is thorough washing and
sterilizing of everything that In any
wny comes In contact with the milk.
Chlorinated lime, or bleaching powder,
at the rate of 12 or 10 ounces to the
100 gallons of water is recommended
by the dairy department of the Ohio
experiment station as a safe and ef
fective disinfectant.
Find Crushed Corn Best
at New Jersey Station
At the New Jersey station ear corn
was compared to corn and cob meal
for feeding cows. The corn was broken
nn th enh nnrl comnared to corn
crushed in the ear; 6 pounds wheat
bran, 10 pounds corn stover and a.4
pounds of hay produced 20.2 pounds
milk with .89 pounds of fat for each'
cow, while 6 pounds corn and cob
meal, 6 pounds wheat bran wltn same
amount of hay and stover produced 22.1
pounds milk, 93 pounds fat. Thus
corn-and-cob meal exceeded corn from
the ear by 9.4 per cent for milkand
4.5 per ce.nt in yield of fat.

Something to
Think About
b) F. A. WALKER
LANGUAGE
THE scenes and the sounds of a
great city speak' In a vernacular
which Is reacMiy understood by him
whose eyes and ears are attuned to
the splendor and the din.
And what is true concerning the
seasoned citizen, Is proportionately
true of the verdant visitor who, at a
glance Interprets the meaning of the
mile of a sturdy beggar grinding a
hand-organ while his picturesquely
frocked companion rattles a tambou
rine, and passes It solicitously among
the gaping group of music lovers to
catch the stray pennies.
The chimes In the church steeples,
the tinkling bells of the Itinerant ped
dler of many wares, Bpeak to all in a
familiar tongue.
The Russian or the Greek who can
not frame a word of English knows
well the lingo of the clattering milk
cans In the early morning and an
swers their call with alacrity.
Who is so untutored that he cannot
read the joy of the sound of the bab
bling brooks, or the love In the song
of the happy bird that is singing
among the green hills to his mate.
And the cumulus clouds with their
ever-changing forms, their happy
tints of purple and gold and silver,
go sailing by In the evening sky tell
ing their tales of magnificence which
cannot be put in words, but which are
easily comprehended hy the lovers of
the sublime and the worshipers of

sleep, . half dreaming, closes weary
eyes to refresh and give them new lus

Their language Is universal, under

by men and the angels.
This Is no dead classic whose mes
sage Is obscure.
Every word is a liquid gem, requir
ing no scholarship, no knowledge be

make its meaning comprehensible and

O-
THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
"CANNON"
SOMETIMES a slightly differ
ent method of spelling dis
guises the fact that two appar
ently dissimilar words rest on
the same common foundation and
are really so closely related that
they may be said to be one and
the same. A notable example
of this is the "canon" or law as
used in Scripture and church
writings and "cannon" or heavy
artillery.
The word "canon" first meant
the measuring rule or line of the
carpenter. Then, figuratively,
any measure or rule by which
we gauge other things. But the
carpenter's rule was properly a
reed or "canna," this being se
lected on account of its stralght
ness, and mention of this meas
uring reed Is made in the twenty
first chapter of Revelation, A
reed, however, In addition to be
ing straight, is also hollow.
Therefore, when the hollow en
gines of war artillery were In
vented, It was considered appro
priate that they, too, be called by
a word derived directly from the
Greek "canna," the additional
"n" being supplied to distinguish
the military armament from the
ecclesiastical. Much the same
process appears In the German,
where "rohr," at first signifying
a cane or reed, has In like man
ner been applied to the barrel of
a gun.

Rat Trap and Dry Mash
Feeder in Combination
A combination rat trap and dry
mash feeder Is a rather novel addition
to the poultry house. The feeder Is
a long box, 1 foot high and 1 foot wide,
with a sloped and slatted top, through
which the hens put their heads to eat
during the day. To convert this Into
a Nit trap, a 4-Inch hole was bored
in the end of the hopper, a short length
of 4-Inch stovepipe fastened In the
bole, and a bag tied over the other
end of the pipe and spread out on the
ground. A heavy board cover was
hinged to the feed box ; this was kept
open by means of a hook during the
day, but the book was released, and
Poultry Feeder and Rat Trap. ,
a small prop with a string attached to
it used at night. The string led away
to a distant window so that the poul
tryman could pull It without entering
the poultry house and disturbing the
rats. A yank at the string let the
cover drop and trapped the rats In
side. Then, by beating on the cover
with a stick, the rats were made to
run through the hole, down the pipe,
and Into the bag, where a few blows
killed them. As long as the hens ate
from the feeder the rats never seemed
suspicious. L. Harris Hlscock, Ska
neateles, N. Y., in Popular Mechanics
Monthly. , ;
Pay More Attention to
Feeding Poultry Flock
With the coming of cold weather and
higher prices for eggs, careful poul
trymen pay more attention than ever
to the feeding of their flocks, so egg
production may start early and be .
maintained as long as possible. To
help meet the demand for information
on feeding, the college of agriculture
at Ithaca has published a bulletin con
taining the rations It has found by ex
periment to be the most efficient. Di
rections for the use of these feeds and
for the management of flocks are also
discussed, twq things which, In the
words of the bulletin, are as Im
portant as the mixtures themselves."
The amount of feed depends upon
the appetites of the birds, and no
definite rule for feeding will apply to
all conditions. Scant feeding in the
morning and at noon, followed by a
heavy feeding of 'grain In the litter of
the hen , house early enough so the
birds will find It before dark, has
given best results. Green feed, oyster
shell, and clean, fresh, pure water are
also essential.
Equal parts by weight of mash and
grain are fed; the former is made as
follows for laying hens: 100 pounds
each of wheat bran, wheat middlings,
cornmeal, ground oats or ground bar
ley, and meat scrap, and three pounds
of salt. The grain mixture consists of
BOO pounds of cracked corn, 200 pounds
each of barley and wheat, and 100
pounds of heavy oats.
A copy of the bulletin will be sent
to those who write to the college at
Itliaca for E 45.
Important to Note Size
and Shape of All Eggs
For those who are shipping eggs to
special markets, it Is important to
watch the size and shape of the eggs,
as well as to see how many the hens
are laying and what color they are.
Too long an egg crushes from the top
in shipping, and cuts down the re
ceipts over a period of months; too
wide an egg crushes from the side.
Customers demand a fair amount of
uniformity in size and shape, because
It makes more attractive selling. They
are willing to pay more for such qual
ity. "The new breeder of today can
make more money by breeding for
egg quality than for more eggs," says
an eastern authority: "Many who go
In for producing more eggs overlook
so many tilings. I recently saw a
poultryman who had a number of hens
with records up to 300 eggs per year
each, and he had a flock of 200 aver
age, but of nearly 100 eggs I saw, from
as many different hens, not over
20 would pass for fancy eggs on the
market and bring top price. Some
would simply have gone as miscel
laneous eggs; they were too small and
tinted."
Day of Definite Methods.
The day for haphazard methods In
breeding poultry has passed into the
pages of history. This Is the day of
definite, accurate methods. The mod
ern poultryman must know definitely
the sire and dam of the birds he
raises if he is to have their exact
pedigree.
Pullets Lay In Winter.
Young stock that begins to lay In
the fall of the year will usually lay
throughout the winter, , the period
when eggs, are highest in price.
