Too Many Cows, Are Below the Standard of Profitable Production. One may have a fairly'gwod herd of (awe but when 'their production ie compared with that of many other herds in the country, the 'room for improvement becomes "abundantly evi- dent. Careful estimates have placed the average production of »til1drug' cows in Canada at 4,000 pounds of milk and the average production of fat at 150 pounds, Since:' it is known that a very large number of cows pro- duce much above this amount, the in- ference is that many fall below it and are meeely an unpi+ofitable'barden to .their owners. Through cow -testing conducted ' by the Dairy and Cold Stor- age Branch of the •Department of Agriculture, Ottawa, herde have been brought up and rap in •production until they have become highly 'profitable as well as a source of pride to their own- ers. The average production of al- mlost a thousand cows under test in the Province of Ontario in"1920 was 7,186 pounds of milk and 246 pounds of fat. One centre in that province showed an average of 9,418 pounds of milk and a little leas than 350 poundal of fat. Whole herds have given an l average of over 11,000 pounds of milk' per eow and as high as 871 pounds of fat. Individual grade cows in some of the high producing herdshave pro duced-15,000 lbs. ot"m,ilk each and a quarter of a ton butter fat And even these records, are surpassed by highly bred, well selected and well fed cows that have given almost 18 tons of milk and two thirds of a ton of butter fat in the 365 days. At a {rime when labor means so much it is unfortunate for one to be working away with an aver- age herd which could' in a few years; be brought up to a profitable standard.' Testing involves weighing and test- fertilizing value, if any, of fresh cow manure and clover chaff on a garden spot, or for a potato and strawberry patch. Answer:—A• ton of cow manure carries _12 pounds nitrogen, 3 pounds phosphorie acid and 9 pounds of pot- ash, while a ton of clover ehafe carries a4 pounds of nitrogen, 15 pounds phosphoric acid and 10 pounds of potash. From this you will be able to estimate the value of the material that you have suggested. C. H. R.:—I ant milking seven cows, nearly all fresh, and out of tato seven, five of them hold their milk'until they are very disagreeable to milk. Have been'unable to learn either the cause, or a cure. Answer:—Aboout this only cause for the condition that you name is a tenderness of the cow's udder. Have your cows been exposed to a draft in the stable where they are housed?, An application of a land' liniment followed by •some softening applica- tion such as ft warm oil of some kind •'would have a beneficial effect . F. 11:—Are potatoes a good win- ter feed for calves seven to eight months old? If oats are fed should they be ground? Answer:—Speaking generally, po- tatoes are notcens4d'ered good stock feed, that is, if fed in too l'ar'ge quau- tities. In a German experiment re- ported in 1907 the writer found that oowa shottad not receive more than 33 po'tmds per 'head of cooked potatoes, and' leas of raw potatoes. Director Hilts of Vermont claims that potatoes at 155c per bushel are more costly than corn ensilage. If oats aro fed to calves the oats should be ground iso es to aid in their di- gestib'ility. H. RI.:—I would like to know if Sudan grass is any good for hog pas- ture;. also ho* many March and April hogs can I pasture on one acre under average conditions. Answer: -.--Soudan grass is not cen- t -dared a good pasture for beige. It Methods of Destroying the Rat. It has been estimated that the an- nual loss in the United- States due to rats is equal to at least 320,090,000. This estimate was made by Mr. E. W. Nelson, Chief of the Biological' Survey of the United States Department of Agriculture, who also abates that the labor of 20,000 men is required, annu- ally to provide the food destroyed by this enormous army of rats. The brown rat is also a serious menace to health, spreading, it is believed, in- fantile paralysis and even :bubonic plague. In Europe it is estimated after full' enquiry that the average an- nual loss caused by each rat in Great Britain equalled $1.80, in France -$1.00 and is Denmark $1.20. The English Board of Agriculture has applied spe- cI•al efforts to combat the rat pest, while 'a Sanitary League in France has carried on a similar vigorous cam- paign Methods of :destroying rats are out- lined in Crop Protection Leaflet No. 7 of the Entomological Branch of the Department of Agriculture at Ottawa.

These traps may be baited with meat, oat- meal, -cooked eggs, or fruit. The ware cage traps are also excellent when rats are abundant. Poisoning has proved a speedy method of destruc- tion.

A. chart in this pamphlet 'shows that the intprovem,ovt made in ono herd in eight years am- ounted to raising the yearly average ;motheaten from 5,500 pounces up to 12,500 pounds per eow. This pam- phlet and other publications on cow testing are available at the PubLca- tions Breach, Department of Agricul- ture. Ottawa. The exact cause of 'warts one cows' teats is unknown, but constant irrita- tion of the affected parts seems a like- ly eause. Warts that have slim necks may be snipped off with scissors, a few at a time, and titneture of iodine then applied to the wounds. Masan of small warts will disappear after a time if you immerse the affected teats for five minutes night and morning in water containing all the bioarbonete of -soda dt will dissolve when hot. After the evening immersiondry the teats and apply freely a thick paste made of equal quantities of salt, flowers of sulphur, and coldpress'ed oastor oil. Cleanliness, neatness, order; sahift lossness, untidiness, dirt; which?w Either has its reaction. If we could farm forever without any setbacks it wouldn't be zeal liv- ing. Adversity holds an important place in the regular order of business. The Sunday School Lesson FEBRUARY 25 The Parable of the Pounds, Luke 19: 11-48. Golden Text— I-le that is faithful in that which is least, is faithful also in much, Luke 15: 10. Leeson Setting—Jesus was drawing nigh' to the 'city of Jerusalem. There was a great multitude with him. It had been stirred, by his nviraoles, to great enthusiasm. Jesus saw that the peopls seemed to thick that the dawn of the kingdom of heaven was at hand, and that they were ready to hall"him as the Messlani'e king. Jesns•felt that he ntust restrain this blind: enthusiasm and dispel their - expectation of an immediate .kingdom; and , speaks to them the parable of our lesson. It showe that the immediate duty of his .1ollaveers is workingg and waiting in expectation of the Mastev°e return. L Testing The Servants, 11-15. V. 11, 12. Nigh to'Jc+ruselem.- As.

Now was the time for I the steadying woad and the teaupeting thought. A certain uab}eman went into a far country. The setting of the parable 'seems to be histoeical. Arebe- I laws, the son of Herod the Great, went ' to Rorie at hin.father'.s death and beg- l gad that- the Emperor might allow him 'to succeed to the throne. He was la'cruel prince, and the Jews sent rep- I'resentNtives` to Rome to oppose lis claims.., After a long delay, Arche}aus t waa granted his request- He went :home and rewarded those who had 1 watched 'his interests in his absence, by - giving them governorships, and slew the leaders who had appeared 1_ against his claims. This historical reference would strike a chord' of in- terest in lets hearers. W.
