Theoretically, if food is burned' in
the animal body to produce heat, cone
slde1,'abte saving would be had by
h. warming water for stock. 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

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

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.

In deveoping the colt, it must he

Dr. 0, W. McCampbell, of the Kan-
sas State Agricultural College. The

A safety match used to light a

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

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

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

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.

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.
