IfiEOTip WELL PLANNED COW STALL. Features Which Will Add to the Com fort of the Animal. I do not like stanchions of any kind. I think thev .roy the naturalness of the cows ....d they trouble each other a great deal, besides often treading j upon each other. The only point in favor of stanch- j lons is that they take up less room, nJSji 11 i-Jj I —:Ej) IB I L - - fa—« Plan of Cow Stall. but 1 believe the increase in milk is a , reward for allowing more space and to each cow. The cut shows the kind of stall ■which 1 prefer, writes a correspondent of the Missouri Valley Farmer. The rack, a. is of hardwood 30 inches high, with the slats wide enough . 0 cow cat: thrust her no o thi -ugh up to her eyes. The bottom of the rack is IS inches v.-ide, extending into the stall toward the cow. The feed box, b, slides through an opening in the stall on the barn floor. It can be drawn into the feedway, cleaned out and a new feed putin without being disturbed by the cow. The halter strap, c, is just lons enough to allow the cow to lie down comfortably. The slitter, d, is eight Inches lower than the stall floor. When she lies down she will put her bead under the rack in kneeling and when she gets up she will move back ward so that she can look through the rack. The length and width of stall can be made to suit the cows. AN ESSENTIAL FACTOR. The Dairy Woman and the Part She Has Had in Developing the Dairy Cow. It is doubtful if any of the valuable breeds of dairy cows could have been produced without the help of women. That is, these breeds have been brought to their high state of perfec tion because the people that have had the care of them for centuries have been mostly women. The cows of the Channel Islands and the cows of Holland have been under the super vision of women for so long a time that "the memory of man runneth not to the contrary." Imagine, says Farmers' Review, some of our western cowboys trying to develop a breed of dairy cows. Any dairy breed they might evolve would have the ability to run a four-minute gait and to scale fences with little trouble. The cow naturally partakes something of the nature of the one that has charge of her. Kindness has made the Dutch cow and the Jersey cow kind. Harshness would have made them into animals that few could milk. Gentleness has made them of a quiet disposition, inclined to chew the cud in contentment, in a feeling of perfect security. This con tentment has made the work of the mammary glands easy, and great capa cities for the production of milk and cream have been evolved. The United States is little likely to have a distinctive breed of dairy cows. In the main, our cows here are in the care of men, especially in the larger dairy establishments. On the farms where women milk that is the only part they have in dairying Men have most of the care of the ani mals. The dairy woman is best adapted to take care of the dairy cow. If more women take up dairying as an occupation it will be a good thing for the dairy interests. They appreciate the value of the fine points in dairy ing. and the fine points are what reg ulate the value of the dairy output DAIRY DOTS AND DASHES. A hand separator well taken care of will last for a generation. The man that owns a hand separ ator can feed warm skimmilk to his Btock. The average person's idea of clean liness corresponds with everyday conditions and conveniences. A cow so milked that she does not enjoy the operation will soon retire from the business of giving milk. Generally the failure to make dairy ing pay is due more to inefficient man agment than to poor cows. In purchasing a cow for butter and milk do not be carried away by the breeding of the animal, but see that ehe has individual merit. The application of elbow grease may be disagreeable, but it. insures clean milk, clean separators, clean butter, and generally a clean reputation. A gallon of 30 per cent, cream weighs about eight pounds and five ounces. If it weighs less than that, it will surely test less than 30 per cent. It is better to milk the cows before feeding them, as they will then keep more quiet. Besides the dust from the hay or the odor from the silage and other things will not get into the milk that is being drawn COWS FROM GRASS TO HAY. Prof. A. L. Haecker, Nebraska, Tells How Change Should Be Made. Cows are generally taken off pasture some time during the late fall when a big storm is in progress and it be comes necessary to house them. This method, while very natural, is not to be recommended, as the chances are the barn will not be in condition to receive the animals, and such little matters as bedding, feed, stalls, etc., will hardly be in shape for this new condition. The best method, in my experience, to change stock from pasture to win ter feed without causing a shrinkage in the milk flow or a loss in body weight of the animal, is to make such change gradually. A week, at least, should bo taken to shift the animal from grass to dry feed or from pas ture to winter. Very often during the season of tin; year when cows are changed the pasture is rather short and sometimes tough and dry, though if fall rains have been plentiful the grass may be in fairly good condition, but somewhat frosty. The cows if allowed access to a rack well filled with hay will begin eating the hay, even while the pasture is good. They will in this way become accustomed to the change gradually and will not suf fer as a result of the new ration. One of the best foods to give im mediately after removing from pas lure is roots. Hects, turftips or man gles may be fed at this season to tlio very best advantage. Beetn arc, as a rule, in the best shape at this yea son of the year, and may be fed in large rations, as silage or hay would be. A beet ration to a cow on full milk can be made from 15 to 30 pounds daily from four to ten pounds of grain, according to the amount of milk the animal is producing, and its capacity. When forage or hay is given, it should be to the best quality at this time of the year, for the animal must be tempted with rations of the most palatable kind. If there is some spoiled hay in stack or barn do it feed it at this time, for it. will co e in much better during the cold wii tor months, when tin animal has nat urally a good appetite and is well ac customed to dry food. Keep the cows out of doors as much as possible, that is, stable only when necessary. If <he general custom is to stable nighls, see to it that the windows and doors are left open, for the season is gen erally mild during the late fall and early winter and animals will suffer more from close confinement than too much ventilation. Remember that a cow requires as much fresh air as ten people. Then if you are stabling 20 cows in a barn, consider what 200 people could stand in the way of con finement Tuberculosis would be un known if this were duly considered and made allowance for. Several years ago we njado a little test to ascertain the effect of stabling as compared with allowing the animal access to the open yard with sheds ad joining. The test was carried on dur ing November, when the nights were cold and frosty. We found in this ; short test that in every instance | where the cows were compelled to sleep in the barn in stalls they did not give as large a yield of milk as when allowed the open air. We were ! quite surprised about this for the nights were quite cold, though dry. i The barn was well ventilated and the i animals had plenty of good, dry bed ; ding and were in clean stalls. Never theless, a stall is not as comfortable | for an animal as the ground, pro i viding it is not muddy or disagree- I able. We make it a practice, when chang ing from grass to dry feed, of allowing the cows as much liberty as possible in yards or paddocks about the barn; also to put them in the barn only when the weather is bad or at milk ing time, until they are well accus tomed to the new condition. While cows are on pasture they naturally take considerable exercise. In graz ing they walk many miles. The change from this condition to a nar row stall is naturally rather severe, and due consideration should be made in allowing the cow at this time as much freedom and open air as pos sible. —Orange Judd Farmer. ANTI-SPILL MILK STOOL. A Contrivance Which May Prove of Value to Some Milker. "B" is made of lumber Ixlo incliea and 1G inches long, with a piece of 2x4 for legs togo through nailed on the under side, the back piece going cross ways and the front one lengthways. Jc "A" Swings the Bucket. Bore holes for legs so they will stand well apart at the bottom. "A" is a bail Tor holding milk pail and is made from tooth of an old rake. It is bolted on just, far enough away from stool so the pail will not strike when swinging either way. When cow goes to step, says the Missouri Valley Farmer, just swing pa'l out of the way and save the milk and your temper. Milk Preservation.

PROLIFIC GARDEN ENGLISHMAN'S FIRST AND SUC CESSFUL ATTEMPTS IN MANI TO3A—SOIL PRODUCES STRIKING. RESULTS. The Winnipeg (Canada) Free Press of a few days since contains account of the success that followed the ef forts of William Knowles, an English man who located near Winnipeg, Man itoba. This is but one of many let ters pivinK experiences of settlers, and should be. encouraging to those who are looking about for a new home in which they may better their conditions. The following is a copy of the article referred to: William Knowles, who cultivates some twelve acres of land just below Middlechurch ferry on east side of the Red River has probably as flue a dis play of horticultural products as any in Manitoba. The whole of his hold ing is in a high state of cultivation and literally crowed with splendid vegetable specimens, which have for tunately escaped damage by hail, al though heavy storms have more than once Get u; red within a few miles. Tli * potatoes are a wonderful crop, aL' expects to raise 1,500 bushels from his patch of 4 '/a acres. A half dozen of tubers selected yesterday average more than a pound each. Adjoining the potatoes may be seen a marvelous collection of tomatoes. There are GOO plants, all growing tinder an encr mcm weight of fruit. One single' stock picked yesterday contained eighteen tomatoes and weighed four pounds. This extraordinary example of marvelous growth, together with some of tue potatoes were sent to the Free Press office. The proprietor was the first in town with several specimens, includ ing green corn. The season has been favorable for onions, and one square patch of nearly an acre is looking re markably healthy. In addition there are good crops of cabbages, cauliflow er, turnips, parsnips, carrots, pump kins. marrows, cucumbers, celery, peas, lettuce, rhubarb, etc. The floral de partment has not been neglected and a charming display of all the well known blooms were shown, including a specially choice lot of asters. Mr. Knowles, who gained most of his gardening experience in England, is loud in his praise of Manitoba soil for vegetable raising, and is gratified with the result of his first attempt at extensive horticulture. PROVIDENCE WAS IN IT. Fortunate Meeting Surely Brought About by Hand of Fate. A farmerish-looking man shared my seat on the train as 1 was traveling through Indiana, and after we hr.-l been talking for a couple of hours a very common-looking woman got on at a station. I saw the man look very hard at her, and directly after she had taken a scat he rose up and said: "Excuse me, stranger, but 1 think I used to know that woman, and I'll go over and see her." He was gone about an hour, and I had forgotten all about him when he | returned to say: "Yes, I knew her. Durn my cats if it didn't turn out to be my first wife!" "it did?" "Sure's you live. We was divorced 'leven years ago, and since then I've ! been married twice and lost both i women by death. I surely believe the I hand of Providence is in it." "For just what reason?" "Why, I've got nine children that i need a mother, and Hanner is willing j to try it again and see if we can't get i along better!" —Exchange. I Tripped. Gunner —So you think the DeBlow ; ers are faking about their extended ■ European tour? Guyer—l should say so. They said ! there were so many Americans in I Venice that many had to walk in the j middle of the street. Gunner —Well? Guyer—Why the streets of Venice are canals. —Chicago Daily News.
