PRACTICAL FENCE FOR STOCK Barrier Constructed of Wire Froves Entirely Satisfactory With AM Kinds of Animals. A good stock fence is one that will turn all kinds of stock without inj'iry to the animals. The cheapest and best fcnco to build is a wire f?nce. At tlie +op of the picture ir. shown a fence which I have on my farm that has proven satisfactory in every par ticular, writes R. O. Clr-g^tt ol' Carroll county, Maryland, in the Farm and Best Stock Fence. Home. The posts are set '?0 inchos In the ground and placed 10 feet ] apart. >.*o. 9 galvanized wiro is run j through holes in the posts. 'This has; proven to be one of the great attrac- j tions of the fence, as there are no | staples to pull or rust out and the wires are always held in their proper position. A ratchet is piaced on the end post and the wires can be kept1 tight at all times. With a monkey wrcr.ch ard winding ratchet the wire on the entire length I of fence is stretched at ene time. The wire can be loosened in thc ia!l ol' thc ! year and tightened in thc spring, and j in this way the fence can be kept in \ perfect condition at all times. Wood pests were usc-d from the farm wood, lot, but w?re all materials need to be purchased, concrete posts with ! holes for wire would not only be the cheapest, but a fence put up iu this1 mani.er would last a lifetime. A fence ;::nr=t have strong and well braced end posts. Figure 2 shows a good brace for this purpose. The three end posts are placed three feet in the ground and are a foot in diam eter. The braces aro -1x4 inches. In figure 3 is shown bracing arrange ment for corners. FLOOR FLAW BARN AND SILO Building Will Accommodate Sixty! Head of Cattle and Tank Holds 200 Tons of Ensilage. I am sending you floor plan of my cattle barn and silo, writes R. P. El liott of Lathrop, Mo., in the Missouri Valley Farmer. The barn accommo dates 60 head of cattle and the silo bolds 200 tens of ensilage. The en silage is carried to the troughs by a Loudon carrier that runs on a track attached to the rafters. Tiio hay rack is built irom the lirst floor to the up per floor and is op^n at the top so Barn and Silo Plan. that when tho hay is put in it is con sumed on the ground. The mow holds I j 100 tons of hay and is equipped with | a hay fork. The cribs hold 4,000 ? , bushels of corn and have doors next | ( the troughs that make it convenient to get the corn in troughs. Clarifying Milk. By running milk through the sep arator and then remixing, a good many genus are removed, but this does not imply that the disease genus are re- j moved. The chief effect of the separa- ! tion is the purification of the milk from solid filth, and this is some gain. The keeping quality of tho milk is not, however, greatly improved bj' the clarifying. If there were disease germs in the milk before being separated they will most certainly be in the milk alter being separated. Incomplete Milking Bad. Incomplete milking nut only robs the dairyman of the richest portion of the mi.k, the drippings, but dam ages the cow, tending to lessen her daily production and to shorten the period of lactation. It takes a littlo more time to draw the last ...tnt ot milk from the udder, but the time is well spent in view of the gain both to the cow and to its owner. Should Be One or Other. The dual purpose cow that gives about three gallons of milk a day, and produces a long-legged, slab-sided steer . that takes three years to mature to j make just passablo bec!', Is not the animal suitable to run on the high priced farm of the twentieth century. Water Supp.'y Important. Watch the water supply. Milk is 90 per cent, water, and if something hap pens the supply so that the cows are forced to without for a few hours the drop in the milk flow will be as tonishing. Heavy milkers are always heavy drinkers. GWMW? CHhtSES Bi PARAFFIN Protecting Coat Prevents Considerable Loss of Weight by Evaporation Method I s New. Nearly all cheese of the cheddar type made in the United States is paraffin before it reaches the public. Sf et it is not mere chan six years since Lt became a general practice, and less than ten that parai?iuing to prelect [rom loss of weight was first brought Lo the attention of cheese handlers. At first the process was in order to improve the appearance, but when it was found that the protecting coat Df paraffin to a great extent prevented the considerable loss of weight b7 evaporation it became the usual treat ment. A circular, No. 181, bureau of animal industry, recently issued by Lhe United Slates department cf agri culture discusing the n.itliofJs and results of paraffining cheese, con cludes that it is an effective way of preventing'losses in weight, and the growth of mold; that for one to ten seconds in a paraffin bath at '?'?0 de grees P. is sufiicieut; that treatment on the third day after coming from Lhe press gives the best results; and that cheese should not be allowed to remain in a warm curing room for a:ore than one day after paraffining. TO SECURE THE BEST BUTTER Good Gracie Cattle, Kept in Clean Stable, Regularly Milked, Are Fi?*?t Requisites. To produce thc best butter I think jood gra'le Jersey or Guernsey cattle, kept in a clean stable and regularly milked, are the first requisites. Next is to have the cream properly ripened md a temperature of just C2 degrees maintained during churning. At this temperature we aro sura not to make a soft, salvy butter, says a writer in Excellent Type of Guernsey. va exchange. It is necessary to keep Lhe cream free from anything that ivould taint or fir.vor it, and above all :o have everything around the dairy, ind milk house sweet and clean. 1 lave always sold butter to private cus tomers cn Saturday; Just enough to SSep them supplied during the week. [ have never received less than 25 :ents a pound, and often have had the price go to 05 cents. Usually 1 Averaged 40 pounds "a week during the summer. I have had the good for :une never to need artificial coloring. Tho breed and feed have a good deal :o do with this. DEVELO? LONG MILK PERIODS YiXioh Depends on Breed, Individua' Character of Cow and Feed One Good Plan Given. The length of the milking period if a cow depends largely on the breed, he individual characteristics of the ?ow ann her feed. It is generally be ieved by dairymen, however, that the length of the lirst milking period of a lieder will influence tho milking peri ods of ber life, and to this cud the Srst milking period is prolonged as long as possible. In developing a milker the plan is to deep up the milk flow clear up to with h two cr three weeks of calving the second time in order to fix the habit if long milking periods. The milk Irav.m will often be in too small amounts to pay for the time and trou ble spent in getting it. If the heifer comes of good stock it is well to ;ivc the phm a trial at any rate. Cement makes the best foundation [cir the separator. Intelligent care of cows brings a lib eral rate of interest. Clover or alfalfa seem to contain just, what the dairy cow needs. About the best fertilizer that can be found is good barnyard manure. Fed to hogs, skimmilk has been found to be worth 45 cen^s per lill) pouuds. The great secret in keeping butter i&. to have it made right to begin with" then keep it cold. There are, or should be, four sources of profit in the dairy business-butter fat, skimmilk, calves and manure. There is nothing that will build up the efficiency or the dairy herd quicker than the use of a pure bred sire. No man ls in a better position to build up his soil than a dairyman, If he uses wisely the forces at his com mand. No more feed should be given than the cows will eat up cloan, but lt is equally important that they have all they will eat. Usually it takes about 75 per cent, of what a cow eats for her mainte nance. The way some people feed it takes much more than that. The average milk cow will drink from SO to 100 pounds of water per day, and the more we can induce her to drink the better for the milk flow. THE FARMERS BANK of Edgefield, S. C.
