Napoleon Ended Warfare |
The prophesies of Joseph de Maistre |
are often cited as forecasts which have
not “made good,” yet worthler “proph-
ets” have gone astray, as witness the
following curious passage from a chap-
ter in Chateaubriand's “Memoires d’-
Outre-Tombe™ : i
“Napoleon has closed the era of the |
past. He .has made war too great to be- |
He has slammed upon his heels the
portals of the temple of Janus and
against them he has piled moantains
of corpses so that never may they be
opened again”

some spite that Chateaubriand will

Experts Have Found That

Modern living conditions have caused
people to pay much greater attention
to the milk supply in recent years,
Laws have been made to Insure
tleanliness and sanitary conditions in
handling milk, that the health of the
gonsumer may not be endangered.
Rigid Inspection to prevent sale of
milk from diseased cows has been es
tablished throughout the country.
Clean, well ventilated Larns are ab

Value of Concrete Seen.
With the increase in demand for san-
itary barns the value of concrete Is
coming to be recognized mere and
more. Many farmers are tearing pp
old plank floors and building sanitary
concrete floors In thelr barns.
These floors can be lalid even in the
winter if the temperature Inside of the
the concrete is hardened. ’
Agricultural colleges and many barn
equipment manufacturers are now fur
nishing free to farmers the plans for
construction of sanitary dalry barns.

The concrete mangers may be placed

should be finished with a steel trowel
to insure its smooth surface for the
animals to eat from. Litter and feed
alleys may be constructed after the
mangers and stalls are finished. Con-
crete floors should be hardened from
ten days to two weeks before belng

Warring on Insects in
Winter Is Proper Plan
The surest and cheapest way to de
crease the flies and all insect pests is
to destroy by burning or plowing un-
der deeply everything that will afford
them safe “housing”, during winter,
Spreat]l and plow under manure and Jit
ter. Cover deeply all weeds, trash or
other things that afford shelter for
insects. Plowing will get most of
them by breaking up their
homes. Polsoning Is expensive and
better results will be obtained by kill-
ing them before they come out in the
spring. Never-ceasing warfare will be
necessary if good ylelds, from beans
to nuts, are to be had.- After insects
are out and ready for attack birds will
prove their value.
Water Warmed for Cows
Increases Flow of Milk
Water warmed for the cows during
very cold weather Increases the milk
flow. Good cows naturally must drink
lots of water, but are averse to cold
water. When that is all they have
they will not take nearly so much as
if it were temperate. The drop in the
milk flow In extreme weather is many
times directly traceable to lack of wa.

Value of Timber Not
Realized by Farmers
Owner Should Watch Close-
ly to Sell at Best Price.
Too many farmers, according to the
forestry authorities at the New York
State College of Agriculture at Cornell,
do not have any idea of the value of
the timber In the farm wood lot, and
when they come to sell this timber
they are likely to be fleeced by unseru-
pulous buyers. It is almost as if they
had deposits In the savings bank and
then sold the sum of these deposits to
any one who eame along and made an

Biggest Profit in Fall
Calf, Says an Expert
A very common question asked the
Missouri College of Agriculture hy
dairymen, according to C. W. Turner
of the dairy department, is whether
cows should be bred to «walve In the
fall or spring. Unless there are spe-
cinl conditions which must be consid.
ered, the department beligves that the
fall calf generally has the advantage,
In the fall the farm work is not so
urgent as it is during the spring and
summer, and the enlf usually will re.
celve more attention from the feeder.
The disadvantages of winter feeding
are more than offset by hot weather
and annoyance from filles. The fall
calf Is weaned in the spring and can
be put on grass without further atten-
tion. Not only is fall the best time for
the calf, but ordinarily the cow which
calves in the fall will produce a larger
yield of milk during the lactation
period. ,
Lack of Cleanliness Is
Cause of Calf Troubles
Lack of cleanliness is directly or in.
directly responsible for nearly all dis
orders and diseases of calves. Filth,
whether In the feed pens, bedding or
pails, is dangerous to the health of
the calf. In filth the bacterin that
cause disturbances (n the call's stom

ter, sterilize them with steam. Feed
boxes, in order to be sanitary, must be
cleaned daily and all left-over material
removed. Freedom from filth usually
means freedom from disease.
