Whitewash for Cow Stable.
In preparing whitewash for the
walls, cellings, posts of the cow barn,
etc, it is best to add some antiseptic.
Black the fresh stone lime by adding
water gradually and stirring it until
is is a smooth, thick creamy body.
Add a pint of crude carbollc acid for
every ten gallons. If it is to be put
on by hand, it needs only a little more
thinning with water. But if it is to be
applied by a spray pump, much more
water is needed, and the wash must
be strained through a cloth. The
whitewashing should be done when
the cows are not in the room. The
doors and windows should be open fo
allow rapid drying. Ordinarily, 1t is
not necessary to do the whitewashing
oftener than every six weeks through
the winter season, but let the fall ap
plication be done and very thoroughly.
Buying a Dairy Cow.
It 1s a mistake to buy a cow for the
dalry herd solely on the recommenda-
tion that she Is an “easy keeper,”
meaning, of course, that she will con-
sume but little feed. The only cow
worth having in the dalry herd is one
that has the room and abliity to
change a large amount of feed into
butter fat, the more the better.

Careful Study of Records of Herds in

Very Essential,
The Bureau of Animal Industry of
the Department of Agriculture has
two men specially engaged in giving
assistance to state officials in organiz.
ing and conducting cow-testing asso
clations. During the last fiscal year
33 new assoclations were formed and
seven were discontinued. There are
now 81 such associations In this coun-
try, the greater number of which the
dalry division has been Instrumental
in organizing. These 81 associations
comprise about 40,000 cows. An offi.
cial of the dalry division in talking of
the work in this direction, showed a
record of two herds in one of the as
soclations as an Interesting example

The feed and feeding !s the first

Remember that the cold raln is

Care should be taken that the cow
does not have to wade through filth
in the barnyard.
To obtain a maximum supply of
milk, small pastures, allowing fre
quent changes of feed, should be pro
vided.
A cow testing assoclation should
consist of 25 or 28 herds, contalning
not less than 400 cows and better 500
or 600,
From being a winter feed for dairy
cows silage is coming to be an all
yearround feed for all kinds of

The best dairy cow is the one that
will convert the forage ralsed on the
farm into the greatest amount of
butter fat.

Art of Stealing Bases.
“Stealing bases Is not for the fact
of stealing bases alone” sald Fred
Clarke In discussing the running end
of baseball. “It is a double-headed ax
that works for or against you two
ways. The fast man who steals bases
not only advances himself toward the
plate, but he unsteadies an opposing
plicher more or less and often helps
the man who follows him to a base
on balls. Stealing bases may bring
fortunate points to your side, but the
altempt may waste a run for you and
cost the game.”
Demaree Wins Again.
Another thirteen-inning game was
played In the Southern league, this
| one In Mobile, and it was won by the
Gulls from Chattanooge, with Dema-
| ree pitching. In thirteen innings he
| allowed five hits. Chapelle pitched a
good game for the Lookouts.
