THL'DAIRY |j GOOD COLD STORAGE. How the Well Can Be Utilized to Splendid Advantage. On farms where ice cannot be con veniently obtained or where facilities are not at hand for storing ice the well ifl Milk and Butter Cooler. may be made into a very fair substi tute. The accompanying cut shows how this may be done. A windlass is placed on a frame made of two by four inch material securely braced to prevent shaking, says Hoard's Dairy man. The size of the box depends on the size and shape of the well. The box is hung by two ropes to prevent its turning and should be strengthened with galvanized iron at the corners. If the milk is to be cooled, it should be lowered into the water, otherwise the milk will not cool rapidly enough and may cause trouble from souring. THE MILK FLOW. Influences Which Affect the Quantity and Quality. Practically all the effects produced by season upon milk yields are indi rect. results due primarily to the influ ence of the season upon the food of the animals. At no period is this ef fect more marked in ordinary seasons than when the cows are first turned to grass. The sudden change from a dry, and more or less unpalatable food, to a succulent and palatable one, has a marked effect upon the milk. Pri marily it increases the flow of serum, and thi? often before the improved character of tho food has had time to show any effect, upon the cellular for mation. So, for a day or two, the milk becomes, especially in the morn ing, exceptionally poor, and a sample being taken, it looks bad. In such a case the appeal to the cow is useless, for in the course of a day or two na ture has righted herself and the cow will give a raore normal, though per hape still a poor milk. There is one further aspect of milk production which must now be briefly considered, says Farmers' Voice, name ly, that it is a process highly influ enced by the nervous system of the cow. Whatever excites tho nervous system will affect the milk yield, and mainly by checking cellular growth. It is no bad idea to think that It Is the system of tethering cattle prac ticed in Jersey, and the consequent freedom from excitement, which has in the course of years influenced the milk of these cows, so as to cause It to be as exceptionally rich in fat, as compared with other solids, and, as compared with other cows, in tho relation of cellular growth to serum secretion. Excitement of any description, owing to its effect upon the nervous system of the cow, immediately affects her milk yield. The period of heat al ways causes the milk to fall off in quality, and, should the cows be served, so great is the effect upon the nervous system that the milk yield becomes quite abnormal, both the fat and other solids sinking far below the standard. Put there are other sources of excitement, which may have far more general effect, such as the worrying of cattle in the fields by dogs, files, or great heat, and the ex citement produced by thunderstorms All animals dread a thunderstorm, and it has been noticed that the milk yielded at such time will produce scours in calves. Know a Farmer by His Stock. When you drive up to a farmer's door, even if he is a total stranger, it does not need a Sherlock Holmes to give you a hint as to his disposition, if any of his dumb creatures are near. When horses and cattle shrink in terror from a human being, dogs bark and snarl at everybody, cats rush off with arched backs when you try to pat them, and the her.s scuttle off "wild as hawks," be sure that cruelty is present. A good, kind man's cattle will be unafraid and disposed to make friends. The Cow Pays. A 700-pound cow wiil, by the time she is three years old, step on the scales with her calf and milk prod ucts and outweigh and be of more value than a three-year-old nhorthorn that is ready for the market. Dou't make the mistake of letting the cows run down on account of shortage of feed before turning to pasture. HOMEGROWN DAIRY FEEDS. Prof. Thomas Shaw Urges the Farmer to Plan Ahead. The dairyman cannot always grow nil tlie food that, he needs for liia cows, but usually the farmer daii"y man can. lie must look ahead, how ever, if he la to do this, and his -work must be well planned and promptly executed. When this can be done the profit is usually more than when a part of the food Is purchased. Usually the dairyman can carry hlg cows through from spring until fall on pasture and soiling food without the necessity of feeding grain. It may he necessary to stimulate the pastures. This can be done In good form by giv ing them a dressing of farmyard manure. If that is not to be had use such fertilizer as nitrate of soda and bone meal, but use them with great caution until their value for such •dressing has been proven. When the pastures become dry or fail, dairymen should have soiling food ready to supply the need. No farmer dairyman should think of go ing through the summer without hav ing a supply of such food ready in case that it is needed and just when it is needed. If the supply should only be needed in part then the bal ance may be cut and cured as food for winter. Not a particle of it need be wasted. Among the most valuable soiling foods are alfalfa, peas and oats, corn and sorghum. Wherever these will grow the dairyman can readily cover the entire season foi soiling food with a supply. Where alfalfa grows in good form, this plant alone may supply soiling food, cover ing a period of at least three months Soiling food 3 of less value include rye. millet, soy beans and cowpeas. Furnishing food for winter is not quite so easy. Every farmer dairy man, however, in nearly all the United States should aim to grow corn, either for the silo or to feed as cured fodder. When grown for the silo he should try and get. much grain on the corn. This wilj lessen the need for other grain. When grown to feed dry, the aim should be to grow it fine. The dairyman who can grow corn for his cows and yet does not grow it, does not know how much ho loses. More food can be grown from corn per acre for dairy cows than from any other kind of crop. The aim should be to grow hay leguminous in character to feed along with the corn. Such hay as alfalfa, clover, peas and oats, or vetches and oats, are very suitable. If these can be supplemented by roots, as man gels, to the extent of a peck a day to each cow, very little grain will be needed, not more probably than three or four pounds a day; even less may suffice. The grain may be grown alone, or probably what is better, in the mixed form. When thus grown, oats and wheat, oats and barley, oats and Bpeltz, or oats and peas, make good mixtures. Of these oats and wheat is probably somewhat the best. WORK THE BULL. Story of One Animal Who More Than Earns His Keep. Exercise he must have, for unlesa he is properly exercised he will not be thrifty and have a vigorous con stitution. This question of giving a bull proper exercise is a serious one jisissi^ Sir Jacob Poesh at Work. and the picture of Sir Jacob Poesh at. work, taken from Farm and Home, shows how a bull may be made to ex ercise and also be of great assistance to his owner. He pumps all of the water for a large dairy, cuts feed and makes himself very useful to liis owner. His calves all come strong and thrifty since he began work, and al though he weighs a plump ton, ho handles himself like a kitten. 1 think breeders might take a hint from his picture. I would like to have a pic ture showing him running the ma chinery, but could not get a good pic ture in the stable. DAIRY WISDOM. Do not turn the cattle on the al falfa. The crop is too valuable t« pas ture. A half-starved cow, even if she is turned on good pasture, cannot return B. profit at. once. Keep the best calves. They are as good for the man who raises them as for any one in the world. Take a little better care of the calves this year than ever before. You will get your money back. Open up the Springs that may have been closed during the winter months. Let the water that the cattle drink be fresh and clear. A farmer who will keep a kicking cow and kick her on the udder and pound her over the back with a milk ing stool once or twice a day is needl#ssly using up a great deal of energy. Is there <a bog hole anywhere in your pasture? Fill it iyp. If you can't do that, drain it.—Faxm Journal. CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, MAY 7, 1908. Easy Victory for Pat.

BABY'S ITCHING HUMOR. Nothing Would Help Him—Mother Ah most In Despair—Owes Quick Cure to Cuticura. "Several months ago, my little boy began to break out with itching sores. I doctored him, but as soon as I got them healed up in one place they would break out in another. I was almost in despair. I could not get anything that would help him. Then I began to use Cuticura Soap and Cuti cura Ointment, and after using them three times, the sores commenced to heal. He is now well, and not a scar is left on his body. They have never returned nor left him with bad blood, as one would think. Cuticura Reme dies are the best I have ever tried, and I shall highly recommend them to any one who is suffering likewise.

The Sunday school teacher was ei* tertaining her class with what she had fondly planned to bo a "social evening." To her disappointment she found that all spontaneity had been left at home with the boys' everyday clothes, and conversation dragged hopelessly until her bull terrier came into tho room. He sniffed about from one shy hand of welcome to another, when suddenly a boyish voice, gruff with embarrassment, burst forth: "I had a bull pup like that oncet, but he growed up into a bloodhound."

"Three years ago I was attracted by an article on Grape-Nuts and decided to try it. "My stomach was so weak I could not take cream, but I used Grape-Nuts with milk and lime water. It helped me from the first, building up my sys tem in a manner most astonishing to the friends who had thought my re covery impossible. "Soon I was able to take Grape- Nuts and cream for breakfast, and lunch at night, with an egg and Grape- Nuta for dinner. "I am now able to eat fruit, meat and nearly all vegetables for dinner, but fonnly continue Grape-Nuts for breakfast and supper.

"One day last spring I was plowing for a neighbor who had a horse with sweeny, and I told him about Sloan's Liniment and he had me get a bottle for him, and it cured his horse all right, and he goes off now like a colt. "We had a horse that had sweeny awfully bad and we thought it was never going to be any good, but wo used Sloan's Liniment and it cured it up nicely. I told another neighbor about it and he said it was the best Liniment he ever used. "Wo are using Sloan's Sure Colic Cure and we think it is all right." A. D. Bruce, Aurelia, la. Pants for the Orphans. There is a praiseworthy custom In some families of sending all the "pants" that the boys have gone through, wholly or in part, to the asy lum for orphans, and, as the orphans never mind a hole more or less, they are glad to get the garments. In one of these families a few days ago oc curred a little incident bearing on this laudable custom. Fred was engaged in that extremely fascinating, but rather dangerous, sport of sliding down the banisters. "What are you doing there, Fred?" asked mamma. "Making pants for the poor little orphans," answered Fred. Where He Drew the Line.
