Gows More Likely to Give Trouble
Than Young Heifers
STERILIZING MOST IMPORTANT
Only the best cows get milk fever
They get it because they are adapted
by nature for heavy milk production
Just before calving time there is a
large surplus of food material on the
body of a good cow that has been
well fed and this with easy and rapid
calving arc the chief causes of the
trouble Mature cows are more like
ly to give trouble than are young
heifers
There is no need for fear of this
trouble since the air treatment has
lioen discovered Most dairymen are
familiar with this treatment
The whole process of the air treat
ment is to pump air first sterilized in-

as soon as the cow shows certain

It is not wise to wait till the cow is
paralyzed and down on the ground al
though even as late as that the air
treatment will usually be effective
Sterilizing the air is the most im

IMPROVING THE
DAIRY HERDS
Amount of Milk is More Import
ant Than High Test
While the Bahcock test of milk to
determine the per cent of butterfat
is a help in improving a dairy herd
and picking out the most profitable
cows it is not so important an indi
cation as the amount of milk given
Some cows have a very high test
and yet they may give so small
an amount of milk that there will not
be an actually profitable amount of fat
It should not be expected that the
high testing cows give so large an
amount of milk as those with a lower
testing milk But because a cow has
a high butterfat test she is not neces
sarily a profitable producer The im
portant thing is to first find out how
tuany pounds of milk she gives in a
year and knowing this it is compara
tively easy to learn the other
The color of milk has nothing to do
with its richness The skim milk from
a Guernsey cow is more colored than
the whole milk of a Holstein or Ayr
shire The color is caused by a differ
ent substance and the fat is some
times in some cows practically white
Dairymen who desire to improve
their herds must learn that the ap
pearances of these things are not a
true index to the actual conditions
The records made with scales and
Babcock tester are the only reliable
data to judge from
Poultry requires exercise all the
time to keep in the best of health
This may be given to them by always
feeding in a litter of straw or leaves
in which they can scratch Some
men make a practice of hanging up a
cabbage so they will have to reach for
it This supplies them green stufr
Tfhich is essential for laying hens and
gives them exercise Almost any
roots suGh as beets turnips and ruta
bagas will be good to keep them

iDEAVER TELLS OF HUGE
WASTE IN CORN CROP
D Clem Deavci emigration ex
pert of the Burlington route has
addressed a strong appeal to the
fairmers of the country to build
silos and by ending waste add
substantially to the profiit from
their corn eircp Mr Leaver is
recognized as one of the great
est agricultural authorities in the
country and his counsel is invar
iably based on experience and ob i
sarvatiion covering wide latitude
Here is his counsel to the farm

By D Clem Deavcr
Think of it Sana sensible
men by the hundreds and byj
the thousands are working hairdj
almost the year round raising
and carinir for a lrighlv valuable
crop and then deliberately wast 1
ing from 30 to 40 p r cent of the
gros results cf their labor
Its the corn crop
a iiiait rney re malting a
good solid bunch of profits
Its haird to believe but fits
true
There is no other bushier on
face of the earth tliat will give
a profit after wafting 30 to 40
per ciiit of the possible inccaii
but corn ruicrng will

large percentage of fanners eithei
wont or dont build sLIos They
arent cutting the corn after itio
season and storing it away as a
rich fedder to increase th air in
comes rthe year round
Profit From On Acre
Just for instance One acre
of good Illinois or Iowa corn land
will produce 12 tons cf
This1 same 12 tons of rich
feed with hay will feed 2 milk

j These are some of the things
I that can be done to stop one of

When you stop to consider that
the entire 12 tons of corn silage
can be put in the silo at a cost
of only 25 you get an idea of
what a tremendous saving it
means Ten acres of corn 9ilage
would accomplish just 10 times
as much
There are innumerable other
ways and methods of getting
more money out of a farm but
considering the huge saving ac
