As for the exercise, it le ar- gued the experience has proved that the dairy ,cow sSil;es more milk when kept warm, and with little exercise. Just how Hauch exercise a cow must have to keep her In good health and (0116tit11tion is a mooted question. We have the 11o1atein breed, for ex- ample.

THE COW IS A'GR.E+AT DRINKER. 'i'he dairy cow consumes about four pounds of water.'for• each pound of dry Matter in her ration: .When in full flow of milk cows often drink 100 pounds of water daily, Professor Beach, of Storrs Agricul- tural Experiment Station, says that in nyder to raise 100 pounds of water from a temperature of 32 degrees, the temperature 'of the body would require MAKES HARNESS .

But science liiforms us that heat is a by-product of energy, and only when the'quantity freed in this way is insufficient, is food burned in the body to produce heat directly. fn an experiment made by Babcock six per cent. more milk was secured from dairy cows as the result of warming the drinking water from 32 degrees to 70 degrees. But in a sec- ond experiment he •secured only one per cent. more milk. We also have the • testimony of Wolf, who secured 8 per cent. more Milk liy warming the water !from 98 degrees to 79 degrees. L. In all the above experiments it will `1)e seen the water was ice cold, un- • tioubtedly a bad temperature for the 'cows. But water of the temperature as drawn from' most wells le accepta- ble, and no further advantage would be secured in warning it. Individual water basins in the barn ere of great convenience, says Prof. Beach, especially during the winter time. These basins -should be provid- ed with a cover and be kept clean in order that the water may be pure and wholesome. FACTS WELL WORTH REMEMBER- ING. It is time well spent in grooming cows. One authority claims that he secured an increase in the milk flow of 'from 2.5 to 8 per cent, as the re- sultof grooming.The fact remains, that; awhile the cow does not excrete as ?aitch waste matter through the slixii as does the horse, an occadional application of the brush and curry- comb•' adds considerable to her cone - fort and well being. Professor WoI€, of the Wisconsin Station, says he- secures 4.5 per cent. more milk, and 9 per cent. more fat, by manipulating the udder after or- dinary operations of milking are com- pleted. The udder is similar tb a sponge, and the manipulation or squeezing of each quarter results iii the increase noted. The cow will hold up her milk when the calf is taken away from her. The result, of beating aepromising heifer for breaking out or the pasture was in her not giving down the milk far several milkings, This "holding up" became habitual, and the heifer was ruined. The cow certainly can and clues hoof up her milk, if she so chooses. The nervous eystent of the cow Wend not be disturbed, especially at milking time. For this reason the yr tri q`rrc •••,0 ir^•rr-�-Cir rrwr-tr°Jitl URAD CIGARETTES evevulete 47 -he Atenariiie feeding and milking should be done at regulate animal intervals. The g 1 i nal .must be treated kindly and" every effort made to win her favor and confidence. The dairyman should keep the fact constantly in mind, that as his dealing with a product. which, without any other preparation or manipulation, is used as an article of human food, the strictest cleanliness musty be observed. As one writer states it -"there Is ev- ery reason for maintaining that the cow stable should be as clean as, the kitchen, .and the milker ne fastidious as the cook, DRIN 1 UP THE CALF. It le generally acknowledged by dairymen that the only eafe way to maintain and improve the herd is to use a bull that will Increase the stan- dard of production and to raise the heifer ealves. However, some raise these calve i more economically and with better succees than others. lye 'not economical to let the cow raise the calf, and moreover this practice reduces the production of the cow. After• the cow's udder has returned to normal, the calf should be separated from its mother and fed by hand, Tito following rules should be observed. Feed regularly. Rave the milk fresh and warm; always the same temper- ature. Do not feed more than two quarts at a feed during the first three weeks. All utensile must be scru ;;e1- ously clean. Give the calves a little bright clean hay, and some ground grain, after they are a few days old; only what they will clean up readily. At 10 to 15 days, commence substi- tuting skim milk for whole milk - in slowly increasing amounts. Never feed skim milk from the separator with the foam en it. Feed the grain dry. At first a little may be put In the milk, but the calf will derive more good from it if eaten dry. Feed each calf separately and leave them tied up after drinking their milk for some time. Do not allow them to suck each other's ears and navels. Give two or three teaepoons of castor oil in the milk at the first signs of. scouring. Ar a general preventive of scouring, it Is good eractice to feed,' at all times, a little dried blood meal in the milk -about a teasponfu] to three quarts. Skim milk, 11 plentiful, should be fed to the calves up to six or eight months of age, or even a year; never more than 8 or 10 lbs. to a feed. 'Where the milk is needed for the market, or oth- er uses, water and calf meal may be gradually • substituted for the -skim milk. Calves do better when they get some milk, but many are raised sue• cessfully with no milk at all after they are seven or eight weeks old. NOTES, Flint and flour varieties of corn fre- quently produce heavier yields. than dent varieties. under draughty condi- tions. They are unpopular, however, on account of the many small ears and the difficulty of husking. When harvested by animals this difficulty is overcome. When setting out a young tree be sure to give the roots plenty of space. Cut off the broken roots and also the very long routs, making a smooth cut with a sharp knife. Use top soil around the roots, packing well and leaving a Iittle loose eotl over the surface to form a mulch, Remember that liquid manure con: 'tains 60 per cent, of the plant food value of manure and that the only ea. restive way of saving this Is by hav- ing concrete flooring , in the dairy barn. These are facte for lime users: Lime is best applied' just ahead ,of a tilled crop such as corn. Clay soil needs lar- ger applications of lime than does sandy so1I.

In deveoping the colt, it must he remembered that the feed it gets the f.(yst 18 months and especially the ftret winter determines to a great extant the size of the colt at maturity, says Dr. 0, W. McCampbell, of the Kan- sas State Agricultural College. The size of a horse determined very large- ly its value, Good breeding; gives wonderful pos- sibilities, but it takes feeding if these possibilities art, to be fully realized.

A draft colt makes one-half of its development by the time it is one year old, hence the Impot:.ance of a good start. The POit should be taught to eat grain before it ie weaned and atter being weaned should be alloeved a liberal ration of alfalfa or clover hay with other available roughageas, such es corn fodder, kafir butte, Cane hay and straw. The colt should be fed sufficient grain to keep it in good growing and thrifty condition. One should never be able to eeo a colt's rite. A ration of from six to eight pounds of grain a day should be fed for each 1,000 pounds ot live weight. Oats is an excellent food, but at present the price Is so high that it le not practical.

Moral of this -fish story is: the value of anything depends ou how It is used. A safety match used to light a beacon lamp and another Snatch used to set fire to a city have widely separated ranks in the realm of utility. On the same principle of values the sawfish belongs near the bottom rank in the ocean kingdom. His saw, the presence of Which you May have guessed already, consists of a long, beaklike mouth decorated with many sharp, firm spines. it varies in length with the size of the fish, some Monsters twenty feet long carrying saws six feet long and a foot wide. A saw, like a match, varies in value according to the way it is used. That's where the sawfish makes a fizzle of life. Think how much good he could accomplish by using his saw on har- bors choked up with weeds, channels blocked with logs and lagoons crowded with trees and undergrowth. Instead of a carpenter, a road buildr, a farmer, the sawfish becomes a butcher. He swishes his saw title way and that quite recklessly and cuts up entailer fish into steaks and eau - sage; then he eats the pieces. :11 IN Poultry World .� ■ IIOW TO SET A LIEN, As the time approaches for the hen to become broody or set, if care is taken to look into the nest it will be seen that there are a few soft, downy feathers being left there by the hen; also the lien stays Ion.eer on the nest when laying at this time, and on be- ing approached will quite likely re- main on the nest, making a, clucking noise, ruffling her feathers and peck- ing at the intruder. When it is noted that a hen sits on the nest from two to three nights in succession, and that most of the feathers aro gone from her breast, which should feel hot to the hand, she is ready to be transfer• red to a neat which had been prepared for her beforehand. The normal tem- perature of a hen is from 106 to 107 degrees F., which varies alightly dur- ing incubation. Dust the hen thoroughly with In- sect powder, and in applying the pow- der hold the hen by the feet, the head down, working the powder well into the feather's, giving special attention to regions around the vent and under the wings. Tho powder should also be sprinkled in the nest. The nest should be in some quiet, out of the way place, where the settin; lien will not be disturbed. Move her from the regular laying nest at night and handle her carefully in doing so. Put a china egg or two in the nest where site is to set, and place a board over the opening so that rite cannot get off. Toward the evening of the second day quietly go in where she is setting, leave some feed and water, remove the board from the front or top of the neet and let the hen come , off when she is ready. Should site re- turn to the nest after feeding remove the china egg or eggs and put under those that are to be incubated. 1 t the nests are slightly darkened the liens are less likely to become restless. At hatching time they should be confined and not disturbed until the hatch is compelled,•or unless they become rest- less, when it may be best to remove the chicks that are hatched first. in cool weather it is best not to put more than ten eggs under a hen, while later in the spring one can put twelve or fifteen, according to the size of the hen. BATCH EARLY FOR Sl'ZIC, Contrary to general belief and prac- tice, chicks do not 'grow or thrive as well during the warm months or hot summer days as they do earlier in the spring. Experienced poultrymen real- ize this fact. The average farmer, however, does not make an effort to hatch early so that the chicks will have the advantage of a longer and more favorable growing season. Early lgatchir._, not only insures more rapid gains in the growth of chicks, but has a favorable influence on the size of the individuals of the flock. Late hatched chicks rarely, if ever, attain the size of those hatched early: 11.arly hatching likewise influences early ma- turity and consequently early egg pro- duction. Given the same food, care and at- tention, chicks hatched the 1st of Itiarcit will weigh mare when they are four months old than those hatched a month later. This likewise holds true with chickta hatched the 1st of April as compared with those hatched May 1. This is due to the fact that the rate of growth of a chick is great- er during the first four weeks of its life than at any other time. Conse- quently, the early hatched chick, hav- ing the advantage of a more favorable growing season, makes greater gains during the •firer• four weeks of its life than the late hatched chick. During the early epring months, when the temperature is not ao varied, the growth of chicks is more uniform and constant than it is during the summed'. Millions of chicks die every year as a result of being infested with lice Which, under average farm conditions are ofttimes difficult to control, Hen hatched chicks are not as subject to lice In the early spring as they are during the warmer months, when lice are more prevalent. If for no other reason chicks should be hatched early, so their growth will not be Interrupt- ed:by the presence of lice. Many farmers realize considerable, money each spring from the sale of broilers, the price of which is usually governed by their size when sold and the time marketed. Theis it would seem that in order to increase the amount of xnouey from the sale of broilers and fryers early hatching L IIEVROLRT The Chevrolet has the famous valve -in -head motor which means &el economy and power.

When Adam and Eve Lived They Were as Tall as Trees. It was a French savant named flenrlon, wito 200 years ago gave to the world aethoritative statements as to the height of Adam and Eve. Ile said that the father of the race was 123 feet 9 inches high and Lave 1 i feet 9 inches. lie noted that from the creation of these enlarged editions of humanity degeneration had been rapid; that Noah was only twenty- seven, Abraham only twenty and Moses but thirteen feet in height. According to this French authority. If the Christian dispensation had not arrested this decrease man by this time --200 years ago -would have been a mere microscopic object, and we may conclude that by our time he would not have been at all. M. IIenrion did not give any explanation as to how ire arrived at his estimate of the height of these ancients. Perhaps the most gigantic story on record is that concerning an immense skeleton, said to hare been in Sicily, which measured 300 feet in length. This story, however, carries its own refutation, as it is said -that found beside this giant was his walking stick. which was thirty feet long and thick as a telegraph pole. A clever calcu- lator made the estimate that a walk- ing stick only thirty feet in length for a man who measured 300 feet would be as ridiculous as one of seven inches for a man of ordinary stature. w•',, �,.-:,,1.11,,•1.--'.,-°--r--•,.� Purely Herbal -No poisonous coloring Antiseptic -Stops blood -poison Soathint-Ends pain and smarting, etc. Pure -Best for baby's rashes.
