Aneastern dairyman of~sonsiderable experience offers the following sugges- tions relative to the care of dairy cows: 1. Have the herd examined at least twice a year by a skilled veterinarian. . Promptly remove from the herd any animal suspected of being in bad health, antl reject her milk. Never add an awimal to the herd until certain it is free from. disease, especially tuber- culosis, 3 Do not move cows faster than a comfortable walk while on the way to place of milking or feeding. 4 Never allow the'cows to be ex- sited by hard driving, abuse, loud talk- ng, or unnecessary disturbance, do not expose them to cold or storms. 5. Do not change the feed suddenly. 6. Feed liberally, and use only fresh yalatable feed stuffs; in no case should decomposed or 'moldy material be used. 7. Provide water mn abundance, easy of access, and always pure; fresh, but. not too cold. 8. Salt should always be accessible. 9. Do not allow any strong flavored food, like garic, cabbage, and turnips to be eaten, except immediately after milking. 10. Clean the entire body of the cow daily. 1f hair in the region of the ud- der is not easily kept clean it should be clipped. 11. Do not use the milk within 20 lays before calving, nor for three to five days afterwards. Don't, oh don't, use a scrub bull as a sire. Remember that the cows are tender from having been shut up in the barn so long, and do your best to shield hem from the hard April winds. Never tie a calf with a rope about s neck. Ten chances to one it will ret chocked to death... A stout strap ibout the neck, with a ring and a chain, ire far better. A swivel will keep the chain from gwisting. ! Some very timely reasons are ad- vanced by a writer in an exchange why farmers should own their own farm, Observations of the Ontario enanted farms will lead anyone to de- ide likewise. on this question, The real and true value of farm lands, sewed from a commercial angle, are ust a little difficult to determine. Con- sidered as an investment to rent to the wverage tenant a right well improved and equipped stock and grain farm will ikely pay a somewhat less dividend, ifter all necessary repairs and improve- nents are maintained,, than a like umount invested in bank stock. But one nust not lose sight of the unexcelled ecurity of capital invested in good 'arm lands in a desirable neighbor- 10 After farms are tenanted for twenty ears they show such deterioration in oil, fertility antl building appearances, hat their prices have deteriorated near- y fifty per cent. This is amply borne ut by evidences noted in every com- nunity in -Qutario.- where rundown farms alongside good ones have sold for only one-half the value of the ther. However, there's another and higher value to farm lands which we should ver keep well in sight of, and that is he value of the home farm where we grow good and virtuous men and wo men; far removed from the contamina- ion of the evils of the city. It is here ve find a watchful eye is ever kept on he preservation of the soil. Clovers ave their regular rotation; manures are carefully applied; buildings are kept in repair and painted. Here's where we fmd a contented and . prosperous family which has been reared with more than the one idea of digging dollars and hoarding them, Libraries are in- stalled in these homes and filled with carefully selected volumes. The best magazines and the cream of the agri- cultural press are to be found on the library tables. These give value to farm lands, inestimable value to the homestead and an increased 'value to tho > of the community. Sol building, home making = and higher agriculture always appreciate values as well as~making for, the ele- vation of all that is good in a nation's life The «best ammunition: for our country's continuance in independence and progress lies in the brawn and fibre hat is nurtured on thie really home- like farms of eur rural Ontario. \ An effort is being made throughout many sections of Canada to concen- trate attention mpon the necessity of improving Canadian horses. There is no subject more worthy of attention, and it is- to be hoped that every horse- breeder will co-operate in making the campaign a success. There is a steady demand at paying prices for good horses of all kinds. * This demand is not likely to become less in' the near future Heavy draught horses are certain to bring good prices for many years to come, while saddle horses will always have a market, and will be needed to increasing numbers for military pur- poses. At the time of thé South Af- rican war the Britigh government was CURES CHILDREN'S|"" CROUPY COLDS At this season of cold, scarching winds and changeable weather, chil- dren will eatech cold, will contract croup, bronchitis and sore throat. The experionced mother knows of nothing hali so good as a vigorous rubbing of neck and chest with Nerviline--rub it well, and apply a Neeviline Porous Plaster. If the case is obstinate, give twenty drops of Newviline ip hot, sweetened water every four hours. This treatment is simply wonderful-- swollen, inflamed tissues are soothed and healed, cougitlg is promptly al layed, hard, strong phlegm is loosened and every trace of cold and cough disappears Nerviline is so safe to use, so power- ful, so penctrating--makes such a good all round houschold remedy that for nearly fifty years thousands of bottles are used every day. NERVILINE Remember the name Nerviline, and refuse any substitute that a droggist may ask you to take instead of Nervi- line. Large bottles 25c. cach, forced to go to foreign countries for a supply of remounts. It is stated that 10,000 horses a vear might be shipped from: Canada for this purpose alone. Great care needs to be exercised in the breeding of the various classes of horses at present in demand. Only pure-bred sires should be used. The blood horse, or thoroughbred, as he is usually designated, is the best possible sire to cross upon light mares of good quality and conformation. Thorough- bred crosses are strong, free, hardy, 'and, as a rule, reasonably sound. They are capable of doing ordinary farm work and may be hitched to a buggy for a drive, or saddled for a gallop, as needed. In case of war, they make excellent Yemounts. Of the heavier breeds, perhaps the best of all sires is the Suffolk, Punch. If this breed of horses were more generally introduced into Canada, and were crossed on the heavier farm mares, the results would be highly satisfactory. There are several different ways by which we can get a cow's production The most decurate method, and also the most successful method, so far as the stimulating of interest in the busi- ness it concerned is to weigh and test for butter fat for one or two days every month. Samples for testing should be taken for at least one day every month and two" days are better, for the reason. that they will = more nearly represent the quality of milk yielded for the whole month, It is of little or no value to test .the milk by only one milking, an account of the great variation in the quality of night's and morning's milk. By adding up the milk produced for the month and know- ing the percentage of butter fat in the milk, it is only a small matter for us toy estimate the production of each cow in the herd. Another method is to weigh the milk enly one day each week and take samples for .testing one or two days cach month, as in the preceding. weighing apd recording and in figuring up results, It' seems, however, thai farmers keeping records in this way do not take so much interest in their work as those who weigh the milk daily. Then again if a cow fails in der niilk, it is likely not to be noticed for several days or until the next day for weighing. For these two last named reasons we find that daily weighing is on the whole more successful. Eight gallons of water a day is the average quantity required for a cow, and the milk given is about 87 per cent. water. In some pastures there is no water, the cows being supplied night and thorning, which forces each cow to drink four gallons at a time in order to be supplied. As the cow does not know that she must drink four gallons, she may use less and she will reduce her milk supply accordingly. Extensive tests and investigations have been made by the experiment sta- tions to determine the advisability of adding salt to. the ration of dairy cows. As 'a result of these trials, it is re- commended that dairy cows be given at least one ounce of salt a day. Ex- ceptionally heavy milkers will require more than this. The uniform results obtained with all. cows employed in these trials indicate that salt in addition to_that obtained in their food is abso- lutely essential to the continued health of a dairy cow while producing milk. It is evident, moreover, that the amount of salt which must be supplied directly will vary greatly in different locations, it, being more at high elevations, and at places remote from the sea.
