GOOD DAIRY FACTORS form of a Cow ls Valuable fedex to tts Qualities. [However, There Are So Many Point? Entering Into Growth and Devel opment of Animal That Many Good Judges Are Deceived. We must study the temperaments of .our cows, for no two cows lu a herd .are alike. To the close observer the form of .an animal is a valuable index to its qualities; however, there are so many factors that enter into the growth and development of a dairy cow that many excellent judges of form and function .are deceived by outside appearance. The new cow has an individuality .of her own and the feeder should be .come acquainted with her as soon as possible after she is brought into the .herd. The most of the loss that comes to A Thoroughbred. us dairymen is through a lack of knowledge and a wrong idea of what "we are about. The feeder should waste very little effort in trying to feed fat into milk, for every such attempt has resulted doubtfully. The amount of fat in the milk is a metter of individuality and breed more than of feed. To induce tte greatest possible milk flow in heifers, their calves should be removed from them the first week after calving. All milk should be thoroughly aerat ed before it is set away or sent away. Some of the reasons why cream re fuses to churn may be found in most feed, impure water, lack of salt or al lowing the cream to o icome too sour before churning. Where butter ls brine salted the butter maker it rarely bothered with mottled butter. If the man who causes two blades -of grass to grow where one grew before is to be called blessed the same thing should be said of the man who improves his dairy until it pro duces twice as much butter as it did before he began with it. STUBBLE AFTER HARVESTING .Anything That Will Thoroughly Stir Surface of Soil Will Prevent Loss of Moisture. .(By ALVIN* KEYSER. Afrronomlst. Colo rado Experiment Station.) Land in growing Bmall grain ls well shaded. This shading, with the pro tection furnished by the crop from winds, amounts in practice to a very effectual mulch so that loss of water from the soil by direct evaporation is almost reduced to a minimum. The only loss is the amount taken up by the plants. When grain is har vested the soil is left in condition to lose water from two sources. First and most important is the loss of water through the growth of weeds; second, on the heavier soils there ls some loss by evaporation from the surface which causes contraction of the soil followed by more or less severe cracking. This permits the air to penetrate farther and thus dry out the soil to a consid erable depth. Weeds, however, ara usually the most so?ere source of loss at this period. To check the losses which occur from these causes it is only necessary to stir the surface of the land with a disk harrow, double disking by lapping hali, cr the use of some of the heavier spring-tooth harrows or cultivators. Anything, in fact, which will thoroughly stir the surface and kill the weeds will efect the purpose. These processes not only kill .the weeds and prevent cracking but they also protect the tilth of the soil so that plowing can be done more leisurely with the soil in better physical condition. Quarantine New* Pig. If a pig is brought to the farm from the outside it should be thoroughly examined and kept in a separate pen some distance from the home herd long enough to determine that it is absolutely free from diseaae. Deduction for Stags. Every farmer should know that 80 pounds Is deducted from the stags by the buyers at the big stockyards. This is a pretty big discount for the own ers' carelessness.
