——"W— 1 ^DAIRT PREVENT COW MILKING SELF ►Excellent Device, Cheap of Construc tion and Eaaily Made, la Shown In llluatratlon. An exchange recently printed an lllluBtratlon of a device which it was claimed would prevent a cow from .milking herself. The thing Ih easily and cheaply made. It consists of but lengths of illght rope and six pieces of round lllght wood about eleven or twelve Prevents Self-Milking. Inches In length. Holes, a little larger than the diameter of the rope, are bored at each end of the slickH. The pieties are then threaded upon the rope tying a knot on each side of each stick to prevent It from slipping out of place. The sticks are so arranged that there will be three on each side of the eow's neck as indicated lu the accom panying drawing. The collar Is then adjusted and seldom falls to have the1 desired effect. PRACTICAL SCALE FOR BARN Problem of Weighing Cow’s Milk la Important One—Illustration Shows Gnalln Type. In these days of cow testing, the ^problem of a practical and withal re liable scale for weighing each cow's 'milk Is an Important one. The spring scales so very handy are, as we all -know, not reliable In the long run, especially If exposed to damp air which rusts the spring, says Hoard's 'Dairyman. The Swedish Mejentidnlng Illustrates the gnalln scale which con slats (as shown In sketch) of two parts fastened on the wall. One Ih a scale arch which Is so large that the weight may easily he read even In the often dim light of the stable. The other Is a long balance, pivoted on a Gnalln Scale. ball bearing, the long pointer being about feet long and heavier at the end, while the short part of the bal anee is bent away from the wall and j provided with a chain for hanging the pall on. it Is claimed to give good satisfaction. BUILDING GOOD DAIRY HOUSE Detailed Directions for Constructing Suitable Structure Over Spring on Hillside. iBy J <i WKATHKRSON.) A fine dairy house may be built over a spring You know about what size room will be required for your 'Work. Build the spring house with the end against the hillside and ar range it so the overflow stream from the spring will run along one side, leaving just room enough to walk be tween the water and wall Have space enough on the other side of the room for a work bench and shelves, .also a walk. If convenient make a cement floor. If not pave the floor and also the bot tom and edges of the stream closely with large flat stones. Put boards over the stone floor to walk and stand on. Construct a drain pipe to carry the water for some distance after it leaves the interior of the house so the ap proach will not be damp. Have no board foundations that will rot or mold. Everything about the dairy house must be clean and sweet. Have plenty of light on the side where your work bench is. if you have good ventilation a gas oline stove for heating water to wash the utensils would be practicable as It would make little heat, if you must use a coal or wood stove the room for It should be above the spring house, not in it. In placing the stones on the bed of -the stream prop them carefully so they will be perfectly flat so the pans or crocks may be set upon them in the water. MANAGEMENT OF DAIRY BULL Practise of Allowing Animal to Run With Herd Hat Serioua Draw backs—One Method. On the majority of farms tt is cus tomary to allow the bull to run with the herd. This practise la open to serious objections In the first place, a hull running with the herd la un safe from the standpoint of human life. No bull Is absolutely safe, be he ever so gentle. In fact, It Is the •gentle" bull that usually kills, be cause fewer precautions are taken with animals of this kind than with those that show an ugly disposition, writes John Michels, In Homestead. Then there Is the annoyance and worry, especially for children and women, to have a bull run about. Hired men also complain about get ting up the cows when there Is a bull with them sad who knows bow many have cpilt their Job because of the bull. A very vital objection to running the bull with the cows Is that It im- ; pairs the usefulness of the bull, due to excessive service. One Hervlce Is sufficient and this can be luid only 1 when the bull Is kept away from the rows. Again, It Is difficult to tell when cows have conceived, which makes It Impossible to know when the cows are due to calve, a matter of no small Importance, A further serious objection to run ning a bull with the herd Is that many a valuable hull Is disposed of to the butcher because he has become un manageable with the herd. Most bulls are sold to thi* butcher before they have hail a chance to demonstrate their value. The question now, arises, if I lie hull Is not to run with the herd, how Is he to lie managed? There are sev eral ways of doing this, hut I wish to give here only one of them, one which I havo used for a number of years and Bull Pen. found satisfactory In all respects. This consists of an inclosure with stable and breeding pen us shown In the ac companying illustration. The bull run Is BO feet square, Including the stable, and is Inclosed by a solid board fence G>4 feet high. The boards are milled onto 4 by 4's from the Inside, which Insures great stability. The breeding pen Is also made solid by using one inch boards and Is GVA feet high. The cow Is bred In this pen by tying her to the front end ami then letting in the hull l>y opening the stable door. The latter closes the pen when opened as shown In the cut. The hull Is fed through an opening in the stable. Water Is supplied In the same way. A board walk, about one foot wide and 2 Vi feel high, is placed along the outside of the breeding pen. The at tendant stands oil tills walk and drives the hull hack Into the stable after the cow has been served, k’or convenience of Inking the bull out of the Inclosure, a door Is put Into the front of tho right Imml end of the breeding pen While a bull can be managed In a pen such as Is here described without coming In contact with him. It is best to lead him out occasionally with a stick snapped Into the ring of Ills nose. It Is always well to keep a hull accustomed to being led with a stick. * Think twice before selling the good cow and then don’t sell her. Care must be taken not to get the cream too sour for churning. Remember the cow likes regular meal hours as well as you do. See that the dairy cow at all times has access to clear, fresh water. The best thing with which to clean a separator is a small, stiff brush. if the eow is to produce pure milk she must have pure food and water. One cannot properly clean milk pails without the use of boiling water. The hand separator has been a step i to greater dairy profits on many a farm. The real butter-maker of our conn- j fry Is the farm cow whose milk never j goes to the creamery. As the calf is so is the cow. Poor care in calfhood means a poor eow when she comes to maturity. The Iowa state dairy law forbids selling milk from cows within two weeks of calving and five days after. In dairy herds, even where stables are darkened and tin* cattle kept in a part of the day, the loss in milk fields resulting from the annoyance paused by flies is often quite mate rial. Milk containing less than twenty per cent, of butter-fat cannot be churned at a temperature below 50 ' degrees, but milk containing 35 per cent, or more can be churned at lower temperature with good results. ^DAIRY PROGRESS OF AYRSHIRE COW Experiment* at Iowa Station Show Breed Making Rapid Stride* In Popularity. During the past few years, since Ibn Ayrshire Breeders' association Insti tuted official tests conducted by anti under the supervision of the experi ment stations, Ihe Ayrshire cow has made rapid progress in popularity, as the perfect dairy cow, writes C. M. Winslow, secretary of the American Ayrshire Breeders' association, in an exchange. This official testing haH brought to the front a clnss of dairy Ayrshlres, noted for utility, and has more and more influenced the breed ers in trying to eliminate any defects she might have, and bring to the front her remarkable qualities as a profit able dairy cow for every day service. One hopeful featur»* of the breed is that she has built herself up on all lines of dairy utility in dairy con formation and dairy lines of beauty, and the Ayrshire cow stands today unique among the dairy breedR, with no aristocracy of family distinction, but maintains her popularity from her individual and breed qualities. While there are minor differences in her appearance, under different breeders, ami in different countries, die Ayrshire is an Ayrshire wherever found, and shows the same strong breed characteristics, of shapely in! dor, strong constitution and vigorous appetite, shows herself to lie a great dairy cow under any and all condi tions, and carries the type of the breed in her every act. Ayrthlre Heifer. In Scotland, In Canada and in the stntes she has been bred not for fam ily booms, or Individual phenomenal excellencies, but alt along the line she has been pushed as a breed of uni formly dairy superiority. This is 1 believe greatly to her ad vantage, and greatly to the advantage of all purchasers of Ayrshire cows, for the uniformity of her dairy excel lence makes all buyers pleased with their purchases and maintains the gen eral good name of the Ayrshire cow. In studying the results of the testing for advanced registry the two facts arc strongly brought out I hat there is great uniformity in the breed in pro duction at the pall, and while we can not boast of any world beater in one or two individual cows, we rejoice In ihe fact that there are none very poor, the general run being from good fair cows to very superior ones. PREVENT COW FROM SUCKING —— Excellent Device Is Illustrated and Has Proven Very Satisfactory —Is Sasy to Make.

In the j first place, see that they skim clean. J Select one of the standard makes of j machines, even if it costs a little more I than some other make. Don't be in a ! hurry to Invest in some new and un tried make of machine under the pre text that they will do about as well. Suppose one machine leaves two tenths of one per cent, of fat in the skimmilk more than another, with a j herd of 20 cows giving 100,000 pounds i of milk annually, It means n loss of 200 pounds of butter fat at 20 cents i per pound, which means $40 annual loss by the use of Inferior machines, i Value of Dairy Cow. The true value of the dairy cow, is by necessity fixed by the amount of fat there is In her milk and what It costs to produce it.

Mow to Cure Chronic Colds and Bronchitis Bluevale, Ont., May 4, 1910. “I was sick for two years with a chronic cold and bronchitis and a consequent run-down condition. I received no benefit from doctors, and had to give up work. VINOL was recommended and from the sec ond bottle I commenced to improve — I gained in weight and strength, my cold and bronchial trouble dis appeared, and 1 am at work again. I want to recommend VINOL to anyone who is in need of such a medicine.”—Thomas I Ik joins. It is the combined action of the curative elements of the cods’ livers aided by the blood making and strength creating properties of tonic iron contained in VINOL which makes it so successful in curing stubborn colds and bronchitis. VINOL is a constitutional rem edy for chronic coughs, colds, bron chitis and pulmonary troubles, not a palliative like cough syrups. Try a bottle of VINOL. If you don’t think it helped you, we will return your money. A. G. WANNER, Druggist, Falls City, Neb. Salem O. It. Ross was down from Salem Tuesday.
