When we were buying cows occasion- ally, says the Boston Cultivator, it was not much satisfaction to us to have the one who wanted to sell a cow tell us she gave so many quarts a (lay “in the best of the season.” We had handled cows and milk for years and in selling milk would have been willing to have obtained considerably less in the flush time if we could have got more in the worst of the season. Replying to :1. question as to what 511‘- rangements had been made to employ oi- viiian doctors to assist in the cam of the wounded in South Af1ica, M1. \V v11d11.1111 said he was glad to take the omronunity 0f announcing that Sir William Mae-(Mr- 111:1(-.the distinguished president of the Bowl (0110!; of Surgeons had intimated his readiness to accompanv General Sir Redvers Buller‘s force and place his great skill and ability at the disposal of the army medical authorities. M12 \V’yndham added : ”We have not hesitated to accept this pat- riotic offer." We had owned two cows standing side by side in the barn and running in the same pasture, one of which gave 18 to 20 quarts at her best, while the other never excelled '14 quarts a day. The 18 q :art cow received the most grain, but shrank to 12 quarts as soon as the other and to six quarts before the other did to eight, while she went dry nearly a month earlier and did not keep in as good flesh. We think if the milk had been weighed every day the 14 quart cow would have had the best record for the year. A test made three or four months after calving and another two months later give a much better idea of the quality of the cow than a test made when she is fresh, but the weighing of the milk for the year tells the whole story. Six thousand pounds of milk, or nearly 3,000 quarts, is a good record. It is an average of about nine quarts a day for 11 months, and a cow which gives 20 quarts or more when fresh ought to reach very near that. Many times when they do not it is not the fault of the COW. The drying up of pastures and no green food ready to give to her; an unwillingness to feed any grain in summer, With the idea that it is not needed, and but little in winter. because she does not give enough to pay for it; no shade in sum- 1101‘ to protect from the heat and a too well ventilated barn, which does not protect from tI-ae cold in Winter; irregâ€" ular hours of feeding and milking and a lack of proper care generally may re- duce :1 0,000 pound a year cow to two- thi 1115 of 11133111011111: daily.

Dairy Fodder.

The harvesting and feeding of the oats and peas begin just as soon as the peas are coming into bloom and the oats are beginning to run into head, and they remain in a good succulent condition from a week to ten days after this pt.- riod, the time depending upon the sea- son. If dry. they mature more rapidly: if wet, more slowly. The same is true in the case of rye and barley, the bar- vesting beginning just as they are com- ing in head, though with these crops the maturity is more rapid than in the case of oats. The morning feed of the cows is given immediately after cut- ting, and enough is cut to feed through- out the day; hence the noon and night feedings are a little wilted. but no at- tempt is made to wilt the morning feeding.

Round off the inner corner at both ends and bore an inch hole diagonally through the telly at each end. Plane the folly smooth and round off all sharp corners to avoid wearing the rope. Proenre 12 to 15 feet of half inch rope and tie a knot in one end and wrap the other with soft Wire. Now tie a ring about an inch in diam- eter on one end of a short piece of strong cord and tie the other end through the hole in the felly that comes on the left hand side when the binder is in use. This cord should be just long enough to reach the end of the crank handle, as its use is to prevent the crank from unwinding while the twine is being adjusted around the shock. Drive a small wire nail a short dis- tance into the upper side of the folly near the left hand end and bend the top so as to form a hook. Your ina- ehin is now complete.

Read what Rachel Patton, Cape Chin, Bruce Co., Ont., says : ’1!le Nervous Cow GiVes Most Milk and Requires the Best Food. It is the nervous cow that gives the greatest amount of good milk. One in- clined to go to fat makes an excellent beef cow, but a relatively poor milker. As the nervous cow is apt to be smaller in proportion than a large. fat. beef- making cow, the idea gains some head- way that she requires less food. Indeed, there is a tendency in some quarters to reason that a cow needs food in propor- tion to her size; that is, a large cow re- quires more than a small one. This is an error of a most pronounced order. It is nervous energy that absorbs and uses up food, and it requires more to feed such a nature than it does one of a phelgmatic disposition. If anything the opposite to What is true in general practice should be observed. More rich and highly con- centrated (cod should be given to the small milker than to the large beef maker. The good milker, if her digestion is good, can change more of her food into milk than another animal can con- vert into beef or fat. A good deal of this food that is given to the milker is con- verted directly into milk, and is thus more profitable than when fed to the beef cattle. The nervous animal’s mechanism is more easily deranged than that of the heavy beef-making animals. A plow horse can stand more abuse than the high-strung race horse. Many dairymen do not appreciate this thoroughly, either in their feeding or caring for good milch cows. As the whole value of the animal’s products depends very closely upon the condition of her digestion, a study should be made constantly of the cow’s health. In a normal condition she can take a great amount of food and convert it directly into milk. rI‘his food should be given with the best possible caution, so that it will not injure the health of the animal. Give all to the cow that she ’will eat up clean is a good rule to go by. but if her appetite declines there is something wrong with her digestion that needs in- stant attention. Very frequently this cause is so simple that one overlooks it. In a nervous cow a. sudden fright. undue excitement or running in the field, or anything that will upset the nerves, may cause the flow of milk to stop tempor- arily, and upset the digestion so that the full quantity’ of milk will not be given for Weeks. It is to guard against such slight accidents that the dairyman must exercise his Supervision and authority. His cows are high strung milking machines that will easily give out under ahusc or misuseâ€"C. W. Jones, in Amer: ican Cultivator. Have an Onion Patch. Every person raising poultry should have a patch of winter onions. says a correspondent in Kansas Farmer. I have two patches. one near the house and another farther away. that I keep for sets to use in winter.
