PROTECTING COWS FROM FIRE
Lever Attached to Stanchions Will
Open Them All at Once—Quite
Handy at All Times.
Just the other day a dairyman near
bere lost 17 head of good cows in a

tanchions in the barn when the barn
jmmroed. One of the men risked his
ife to go in and open the stanchions
of two of the cows, but the fire was
go intense that the others perished,

Constantly Recurring Question on
Which Dairymen Do Not Agree—
No Danger of Stunting.
The age at which to breed the
heifers is a constantly recurring gues
tion. Opinion differs considerably on
this point, and unfortunately experi
ence as related by breeders is not
uniform by any means, writes E. E.
Kaufman in the Town and Country
Journal.
The writer has always tried to
make his opinions conform to his ex.
perience and observation, but in the
case of breeding the heifers his views
have always been backed up by both
experience and observation
When the heifer is bred to drop
the first calf at the age of two years,
nearly all instances this can
be done, the habit of giving milk is
early stimulated, besides the young
