on edge from seven to eight feet from
front of stall on the floor, depending on
size of cow. Fasten the 2 by 4 down
to floor, if set iu dirt, with a good sized
stake. If floor is made of plank, nail
a block to floor, then spike the 2 by 4
to blocks.
The cow Trhen eating will stand with
her W.nd feet just behind the 2 by 4.
leaving the droppings behind it. When
she lies down she Will be compelled to
lie in front of the 2 by 4, with her head
under the feed rack. It is not neces
sary to have a gutter in a stall of this
kind. There should be short partitions,
however, to keep the cows from turn
ing around.
Testing the Dairy Herd
Records of the performances of dairy
cows form the only accurate and safe
basis for judging their value. It is
the constant aim of progressive dairy
men to improve their herds, and such
improvement must depend largely upon
culling the herd
and getting rid
of the unprofit
able . animals.
From the breed
ers' standpoint
records are espe
cially valuable
in assisting in
fluding custom
ers for their
stoqk. Many
buyers Insist on
seeing records
of dairy per
formance before
purchasing.
. A record is al
so of great help
to the feeder. If
he knows exact-1
ly what a cow
Is- doing he can
prepare the ra
tion accordingly

The cows should be well bedded
both for comfort and cleanliness.
A brnn mash now'and then q short
time before calving is most beneficial.
If the udder Is excessively caked and
hard, it Is well to draw a little milk
from it. This will help to ward off
inflammation and garget.
It's poor policy to use anything but
the best bull. A grade has no place at
the head of your herd.
Do not move cows faster than a
comfortable walk while on the way to
place of milking or feeding. , .
The breeder who has a definite Idea
in view can improve his animals. TI12
one who goes at it blindly never can.
Too many dairymen do not know
whether their cows are paying or not.
They do not know which are the good
and which the poor ones.
