THE ADVANCE 41111111•100 # ft S4 WINGHAI 0 MO 111110111.11.11 THE WINGUAM ADVANCE, TITURSDAY, DECEMBER 80, 1909, STOPS COW MILKING HERSELF Cantrlvanoe.Arranged That WI1I Save to Dairyman Many Pounds of Sutter and Much Milk. The following instructions era given in answer to an inquiry regarding a device to prevent a cow from sueking herself; "Securing two lengths of small cord, also six pieces of round, light/ wood about 12 inches long and 1% inches in diameter, I bored % inch ]roles at each end of the sticks, then having tied a knot at one end of the rope, I thread- ed on the sticks. Not having shorter pieces of wood, I bored through the A Mlik Saver, center likewise to thread between the longer sticks. I knotted tho cord on either side of the sticks, then throw- ing the same across the cow's neck (having regulated the knots and sticks to suit the small of the neck and also the shoulder), I tied the ends of the cords around the first knot. The ac- companying illustration shows the re - suit. This device prevents the cow from reaching her flanks and in my case has stopped the failing and will save quite a few pounds of butter."

GOLDEN RULE IN BREEDING By Careful Study Breeder Will Have No Trouble In Producing Like from Like. "Like produces like" is the golden rule and summary of the science of breeding, says the American Cultiva- tor. It must be remembered that the resemblance is decided not only by the immediate parents, but by the grandparents and the great grandpar- ents, etc,, all being connected like the links in a chain, or rather like the twigs of a tree to the main branch. Hence the qualities of the fancily must extend through several generations, better a dozen generations, to appear with fair certainty in the offspring. When a characteristic has once struck into the organization 01 a lino of stock it remains with great persist- ence, eyen when mated with unlike In- dividuals, as, for instance, the. broad belt of the Dutch cattle, which is nearly always impressed upor, a cross , of that breed; or the peculiar build .and dispo (tion of the Morgan horse which. persists in spite of many re- moves from the pure Morgan stock. These prepotent families are usually established and fixed by considerable inbreeding at the start, which is the eadiest way of uniting individuals possessing similar good qualities. Then, by careful selection and out - breeding, the qualities once fixed have been maintained. By taking into ac- count the influence of the remote as well as the direct ancestors, the breed- er will have no great trouble in pro- ducing like from like with regularity. How Much Feed for Milking Come. For milking cows it is not desirable that more than five or six pounds of cottonseed meal per day should be fed. If this, in connection with the roughage she is getting, does not fur- nish the proper nutrients in amounts and proportions, other grainshould ba added. The cow giving but a small quantity of milk per day, say about a gallon, can ba properly fed on cot- tonseed as the only grain if it. is fed with some good roughage as prairie hay. With roughage like alfalfa it could be used as the solo grain ration for a cow giving two or three gallons per day. Coloring Suttee. There is no moral wrong in eo'or- ing winter butter judiciously.

WALKE Furniture and Undertaking CARING FOR PIGS IN WINTEK, Pigs make satisfactory growth :lar ing the winter if given sufficient care trod a suitable ration. They, of course, require more care than those farrowed to the spring, which, with freer range of pasture and plenty of succulent food, can to a great extent take care of themselves. The first requirement is comfortable housing. Pigs that have sheltered around 'straw stacks and in fence cor, ners, exposed to all kinds of weather, never produce as greet a profit for their owner as those for which good quarters have been provided—in fact, they hardy pay for their feed. if a house is provided that can bo shut up when the weather is inclement and opened when it is warm and settled the litters can be kept growing even during the most severe weather. The building should be arranged to open to the south to admit air and sun- light. A shed made of straw will not answer the purpose. It may be made warm enough, but it cannot be proper- ly ventilated, sunlight cannot be ad- mitted, and, above all, it cannot be WITLL BREED SOW, tr'1t properly disinfected. The house must have a good floor, for pigs that are compelled to sleep on the ground are sure to contract rheumatism. It is essential that the house be cleaned out each week and new bed- ding laid, then disinfected. The quar- ters cannot be kept too free from dis- ease germs. Contrary to common belief, swine have some habits which raise them above other domestic animals from the standpoint of cleanliness. Unless com- pelled to do so they will not sleep in their own filth. If part of the floor of the house is kept well bedded with straw, while the rest is not, the excre- ment will be left on the unbedded por tion of the floor, and the bed itself will always be clean. In order to obtain the best results from the feed, it is necessary that all the pigs should get equal rations. When the pigs' are hungry and the feed is such as they like, it is impossible to prevent some from getting more than their share if fed in a plain trough with either a flat or V shaped bottom. Feed troughs should be with cross- bars dividing them into sections, so that the largest and greediest pigs are prevented from getting into them and also from pushing along down the trough, with their mouths in it, shov- ing the stnaller pigs aside. Make the troughs in different sizes to suit the size of hogs fed therefrom. When the pigs are two or three weeks old they will begin to take a little extra feed in ' addition to the milk they receive from the dam. Care roust be exercised to start them in easy, feeding not more than twice a day, as they are likely to eat too much at the,beginning. It should be borne in mind that overfeeding as well as underfeeding will make the pigs stunty. The feed for the pigs when they first begin to eat is slop made of mid- dlings, to which is added a little blood ineal. The blood meal is a bone and muscle maker and improves the feed. It is needless to say that skimmilk is a most excellent feed for pigs, and sour milk ,may be fed if blood meal Is given with it; otherwise it is apt to cause some indigestion. A great variety of feeding stuffs can be used. The main point to be observed is that the stomach of the young pig is easily deranged, and feeds must be given that are easily digested. The trough from which the pigs are fed should be kept as clean as possible, and no stale feed should remain in it from one feed to the next. Young pigs that are well fed may become too fat. If such is the result, there is likely to be some loss unless abundant exercise is furnished. If any are inclined to Ile in bed, get them outdoors and see that they get the ex- ercise needed to maintain health and vigor. As soon as a pig is discovered to be droopy or falling behind the rest of the herd, it should be taken out and put in aft inelosure by itself. The best system of weaning is to re. move two or three of the strongest pigs in the litter to a separate pen and after a few days take away other strong ones, and so on until they aro all renloved, choosing the strongest ones each time. Thus the weaker pigs of the litter are given a better chance and the milk flow of the dam is al- lowed to decrease gradually until it ceases entirely. The pigs should easily make a steady gain of from half a pound to a pound a day, according to the size of the aninlal, throughout the entire growing period, Corn may be fed with excel- lent results, but it should be supple- mented by all the variety of feed at hand, This variety should consist of mill feeds, dairy byproducts and sue^ eulent feeds. If skimmilk, whey and bnttericilk are at command they can be combined to very goad advantage with the ration, commencing with n proportion of about two pounds of milk to one of grain at weaning time and reducing the quantity of milk un - tit the puts are finished tin grain alone THE LEADING BUSINESS COLLEGE.
