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. Almost

Madam, as ,,anal J dge
Do ecu know, Mistress Housewife, they say that you don't know
good stuff from poor; that price Is your only guide ; that you
wouldn't know good flour if you saw it, and wouldn't take it except
it were cheap/
In short, th i anything labelled " FLOUR " is good enough for you,
We deny this libel on your discrimi-
nation, and appeal to you, Madam,
to nail the iinpeachme fl.
Nothing short of the very best is
good enough for YOU, and we know
If you have been getting miserably
bad flour, it wasn'tyourfault---but
fust because you didn't know about
FIVE ROSES.
When "baking accidents" vex your
soul, and hubby mutters about
"bread and projectiles, concrete
rolls, the vileness of some (?) baking,
Don't scold the cook; maybe she
didn't know about FIVE ROSES
either.

But all this is over now.
We're going to tell you about good
flour, so that you may have set
reliance based on actual knowl-
edge, avoiding cheap brands,
whose sole claim on exist-
ence is mere cheapness
marrted to the average
homemaker's ignorance of
fiver values.
len that so, Madam ?
Just think, Mistress Housewife, It
has taken all of twenty-one years to
perfect FIVE ROSES— to attain
our majority in quality milling.
You surely admit we must know
how to make good fiour, don't you?
And we make It as good as we
know how,
FIVE ROSES, Madam, Is the flour
you should try, and all other house-
wives who want their money's
worth.
You get it when you buy FIVE
ROSES — and keep on getting it.
Because itis " standard value," the
same to -day as yesterday,

You can prove them woefatlly wrong,

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
