Good butter can only be made from good milk, and good milk can only be had from healthy cows kept in well- It pays to select a cow according to her ability to convert food into milk and according to the character of the Ifnilk she produces. i. e., its richness in at. ' A dry season decreases the yield of p-oratoes, but increases the starch con- tent. A wet season has the Opposite effect. In some German experiments to test the desirability of large seed, small and medium tubers gave decidedly the hem yield. We feel sure that another loss is sus- tained when the cows have no shade into which they can run during the heat of the day. 1T0 have to stay out out in the sun all day long must be quite a trial on a highly nervous cow, and we believe that some shelter or protection from the sun will add much to the profits of dairying. An experi- ment at the Kansas station is worth noting in this connection. A grove was opened up for the cows to run in for shade, but, strange to say, they preferred to gather on the tOp of the highest: knoll in the pasture where there was usually a breeze blowing. The explanation was that the breeze blew away the flies which bothered the cows and allowed them to manu- facture milk in peace. Dairymen hav- ing a high knoll or bluff which can be added to their pasture, should fix it up as a summer resort for the cows. A natural shade is to be preferred, but, if that is not to be had, an open shed on the top of a breezy knoll will soon pay for itself. It should be kept in mind that bulldog flies, which are amongst the worst tormenters of cattle, will not follow them into a dark shed, and is worth all it costs as a protection from bull-dogs alone. Close attention to shade, water and protection from annoyance by flies and mosquitoes will yield a good profit on the cost of obtaining them and thus make dairying more profitable in the west. soon found a preventive, as it out too seriously into their profits. Kerosene emulsion and a number of Other sub- stances having an odor disagreeable to insects were used. At first they were rubbed over the cows with a cloth at points the flies settled on the most. this was too slow, so it was nOt long before the spray pump was brought into use. It has been found very ef- fective. A good spray pump will soon pay for itself in the saving made. in the loss of butter fat. The time re- quired to spray a cow is very small, and it will last for two or three days. Even if it had to be done every day we believe it will pay well and that a man has only to try it on a few cows to be convinced that it will pay him, and pay well, too, to protect his cows from the flies and mosquitoes. “' No experiments are on record, so far as we are aware, of the loss caused through the worry of flies and. mos- quitoes. If the cow spends her ener- gies, as she loften does, in fighting flies and mosquitoes, she cannot give as much milk, and we feel sure the per- centage of butter fat will be much lower. Practical farmers know that when the flies are particularly bad they can see a marked shrinkage in the milk yield. We have not found any one yet who has tested the milk given at such time-s for butter fat, but we feel certain it will be lower than that given under normal condi- tions. Will some one test this point for us? How to lessen or counteract the annoyance caused to milch cows by flies and mosquitoes is a question well worthy the study of every dairy- man in Canada. Dairymen in the east have suffered loss through the attack of flies, but the more progressive ones among them COWS NEED PEACE. a very large measure upon the ner- vous condition of the cow, the more highly developed the nervous system is the greater her power of making milk, says the Nor’-\Vest Farmer. From this it is easy then to draw the conclusion that it is very important that she should have comfortable sur- roundings free from all annoying in- fluences, where she can graze or chew her cud at pleasure, and be free to elaborate large quantities of milk rich in butter fat. It is, perhaps, not quite so natural to look at the other side of this question, i. e., that annoy- ance and worry, from whatever cause, are not conductive to best returns in milk. Experiment has shown that cows chased by strangle dogs, or, for that matter, by dogs the cows are fa- miliar with, do not give so much milk nor as high a percentage of fat in the milk.
