B0D11Y VISOR OF
DAISY BRED COWS
It is uot unusual to hear slighting
remarks with reference to the consti
tutlon of dairy bred cows. Not long ;
luce we discussed this subject with a
reader, says the Kansas Farmer, who
faid that he believed that the everyday
farmer was not justified in keeping
pure bred stock; that three-fourths
or seven-eighths grades were about as
highly bred as a farmer should own.
Further inquiry developed the fact
that this man believed that as dairy
nlmal8 approached pure breeding
their constitution became weakened
mnd so required the very best care and
even then were short lived. He gave
it as his opinion that the large, husky,
fat beef animal possessed the most
rugged and vigorous constitution. We
asked the question as to whether or not
this applied to the human family. The
gentleman immediately saw the point
and botran to sidestep.
Beef animals belong to what is
known as the lymphatic temperament.
This temperament is exemplified in the
?ana a# qiiaK
produce butter economically. Many
Jersey breeders think that If a cow
isn't a Jersey It isn't a dairy cow,
but Impartial observers know that
there is rood in any really excellent
dairy cow. Rose of Oreenbray, the
| Jersey cow here shown, is owned !
by the Delaware Agricultural col- 1
lege. In five months she has made
over 5,000 pounds of milk and 310
pounds of butter. She weighs about !
800 pounds and promises to produce ? !
600 pounds of butter during the
year.
I 1;
" v male do have vigorous constitutions.
bowing that the constitution does not
follow or depend upon the size or the
amount of flesh carried. The dairy
cow belongs to what is known as the
nervous temperament and which cor-!
responds with the same temperamentj
in humans. Such temperament does j
not indicate nervousness, but is the;
temperament applied to humans as j
well as to animals, spare in physical
makeup. Humans built mi this plan i
are ofteu extremely vigorous. The size j
or the amount of flesh carried is not at i
all an indication of constitution.
'mere is oniy one test ui i-uiisuiuuuii. j
and that Is the amount of work the ,
animal Is able to do and stand up un- j
der the strain. In the case of the beef ,
animal this is the amount of flesh it
is able to put on as a result of the
: amount of feed it consumes. If the
beef cow is a vigorous animal, eats
heartily, grows fat and so is not susceptible
to disease we may say she
has a vigorous constitution. If, on the
other band, she is not anxious for her
feed, is finicky in the selection of her
feed, she is regarded as lacking in constitution.
The same condition applies exactly
-? to dairy cows, the 6ize of the frame or
the quantity of meat on that frame not
being a consideration. The fact is
that the dairy cow in the production
of dairy products has a strain on her
animal body which is in no manner
equaled by the beef animal. If she

not be able to withstand this strain.
The life of the dairy animal is as long
as that of the beef animal, and there
is no evidence whatever to show that
dairy animals do not have a constitution
in every respect equal to beef animals.
It Is a fact that in the very
makeup of the dairy animal she Is not
able to resist cold rain and sleet to the
same extent that the animal clad with
thick coat of fat and beef Is. If in
the handling of the dairy herd It is the

^ animals will not resist the elements as
do the beef animals. He will find at
the same time, too, that he will not

under srfeh conditions.
Rat;on For Work Horses.
In government tests of feeds for
work horses, made with artillery horses J
at Fort Riley. Kan., it has been found
that the cheapest ration and the ,
?ne which gave the largest gains
ronsisted of eight pounds of corn, two i
pounds of oats and ten pounds of al- !
falfa hay and cost 13 cents per head I
per day. The tests were made with !
ten lots of horses, with about seventy- !
nve in eacn iot, ana seven 101s con- i
tainlng from seventeen to twenty
horses each. The pain made was 25.6
pounds per horse in 140 days.
A ration consisting of oats, corn,
wheat bran and timothy hay in the
ratio of 4:6:4:12 produced six pounds of
gain In 120 days, and the animals
showed the best condition of any in

Colic In Horses.
Horses should not take colic from
eating corn if you gradually accustom
them to this feed and allow it in the
ear form. Where horses have to eat
corn off the cob they take it in smaller

than when fed shelled corn. Ground

and pure water in abundance for hogs
in summer Is overlooked by a majority
of the swine growers throughout the
country -says H. T. Morgan in Country
Gentleman. It is astonishing to note
the negligence of farmers in this matter.
Hogs having access to a wood lot
or an orchard will be amply provided
with shade. Throughout the greatest
hog producing states, however, these
animals are pastured in open lots, and
there they will suffer greatly from heat
unless proper artificial shade is provided.
A cheap and efficient shade can be
erected in a few hours and at no expense.
aside from the labor involved.
by setting six or nine forked posts in
the ground to support some old fence
rails which may be covered with a few
armloads of brush and then covering
the whole with a load of old straw.
This makes an excellent shade and is
preferable to one of boards, as the
straw roof is far cooler than one of
lumber. The shade should be open on
all sides and should be built at the
highest point in the field, in order to
take advantage of every breeze. The
loss of hogs from overheating is very
great, and such losses can be guarded
against ouiy ny unonuiig ioe hiuuiuis a

Right here a word of advice nbout
treating au overheated hog. Never
|wur cold water on the animal; pour it
It is said of the Duroc-Jersey breed
of hogs that they will put on more
pounds for an equal amount of feed
than any other breed. They put on
flesh and fat so economically that
they return a better profit on feed
consumed than hogs that bring a
Ww cents more per hundred pounds
on the market. The Duroc-Jersey
hog. it is claimed, is a bigger hog, &
better hog and a healthier hog than
' any other. The sow shown is an
excellent type of this breed. She

under him. A hog that is on the ground
and not too far gone will respond to
treatment if water is supplied in this
manner. Never attempt to drive an
overheated hog. If possible, after sup" "i""

shade, such as a blanket or sheet supj>orted
by a couple of poles. On extremely
hot days It is an excellent plan
to pour u barrel of water under the
shade which has been built for the
hops, and this will afford much comfort
for the entire herd throughout the
day.
The greatest care should be exercised
In preventing the hogs from having
access to streams which may have been
subject to disease germs. Under no
circumstances should hogs be allowed
to run in fields opening on large
streams. The prevalence of cholera
in past seasons has taught many a
ihruier we tuny ui wui uu& uuasm
by allowing his hogs to water at a
stream which muy have watered a
score of herds of diseased hogs.
In supplying well water to the animals
It is easy to make provision
against their getting their supply
tilthy. There are a number of commercial
hog waterers which are inexpensive
and are admirable. These
may be attached to a water line or to
a stock tank or a barrel. They are
fitted with a float valve which automatically
keeps the drinking vessel
full. The drinking vessel is small and
does not admit of the hogs getting
their feet into it. Where a barrel is
used for supplying the animals it Is
advisable to add a handful of lime to
the barrel of water, since this will render
it more palatable after becoming
heated by the sun. Stagnant water is
wholly unfit for hogs, and it is unwise
to allow them to have access to places
where it exists.

COUSIN TO THE CABBAGE.
Kohlrabi Liksd by Soma Dairyman aa
Food For Cows.
Kohlrabi is a cultivated variety of
the kale or cabbage, distinguished by
the swelling of the atem just above
the ground, in a globular form, to the
size of a man's fist or larger, leafstalks
springing from the swollen part and
adding to the peculiarity of Its appearance.
This Is the part which is used,
and its uses are similar to those of the
turnip.
In quality the kohlrabi more nearly
resembles the Swedish than the common
turnip, and the use of it for feeding
cows does not give their gallk aa
disagreeable a flavor as when they are
fed on turnips. Kohlrabi 1s Tery

this is jH'rhaps not the best method.
It ought, however, to Ik? sown earlier

of the same size. There are numerous
subvarietles. Kolilrabi grows best in
a strong, rich soil, with the use of
abundant manure. One authority says
of kohlrabi:
"Sow in spring, in rows eighteen
inches apart, afterward thinning the
plants to eight to ten Inches. If the
weather is suitable the thinnings may
be planted, but it Is considered difficult

down, and when the thickened stems
above ground are two or three inches
through they are fit to eat and should
be used at once, being tough when
old. Cook same as turnips."

Everv vounar farmer should m
strive to own a borne. The home
owner has more opportunity for
efficient service to his commu

Why W# Cultivate Corn.
The purposes of lnterculture tillage
are, first to kill weeds; second, to keep
the surface soil receptive to rainfall;
third, to prevent the evaporation of
soil moisture. Cultivating corn four
Inches deep as compared with two

per cent owing to pruning the roots.

A good way to keep off disease Is to
dig up a portion of the soil where the
hens assemble, so that they can scratch
and hare a dirt bath In the clean fresh
earth.
Provide a good open shed for the
young turkeys to roost In and don't allow
them to wander off. Their value is
too great to allow them to take up with
the neighbor's flock.
Always make the nest boxes easily
removable, so that they may be frequently
taken out of the bouse and
cleaned, dlsinrected and treated ior tne
destruction of vermin.
Ducks and geese do not roost and,
when boused with chickens, are obliged
to inhale the bad air from the floor
under or near the perches. low shelter
and a smaH yard will make them
comfortable.
