The question is often asked as to how large a skim milk calf should be and what weight it should attain at different ages. In order to' give a sat isfactory'answer to this question we have averaged up the weights of a large number of skim milk calve* that we have rais«-d at this station. We see that at six months of ag>- the av.rage calf weighs pounds. We sec that the average skim milk calf consumes S5-5.2 pounds of skim milk, l'Jt.l jiounds : of grain and 357.2 pounds of hay to 1 produce 100 pounds of gain. The feed cost of this PjO pounds of gain is S'J.'iS, the labor I>l cents, making a total of S3.JiC». This 858.2 pounds of skim milk represents !<53.5 pounds of whole milk, which, with an average test of 4.0S per cent, makes a butter fat yield of 38.9 pounds. The average price of butter fat at the college creamery during the past year was 21.08 cents per pound. This makes a total value of $8.20. Deduct from this the cost of raising a skim £ LIVING MONUMENT TO SKIM MILK. [Average daily gain for 105 days, 2.29 pounds.] luilk calf, $3.50, and we have left $4.01 to pay for the expenses of milking and hauling 05.'} pounds of milk to the creamery. These figures do not toll the whole story sis to the profit. Cows that are milked produce larger yields than when suckling a calf. For Instance, the college herd has averaged 0,278.6 pounds of milk per cow during the year 10<>2. The amount of skim milk consumed by the skim milk calf repre sents 1.978 pounds of whole milk. Sub tract this from the average product of tlx- average cow In the college herd, and we have 4,205.6 pounds to be cred- Ited to raising calves on skim milk. According to the average test of the herd, this milk would contain 175.20 pounds of inittcr fat, which, at 21.08 cents per pound, would amount to $31.05. This 4,205.0 pounds of extra whole milk produced by the cow that Is milked would yield 3,866.1 pounds of skim milk, which, at 15 cents per 100, would be worth $5.80, or a total of $42.75 additional Income i>er cow. Add to this the $17.01, the Income from the butter fat secured from the milk fur nishing the skim milk for the calf, and we have a total of $50.70. 1 >educt from this the cost of raising a calf, $7.43. and we have left $52..'13 to pay for the expenses of milking and the hauling of 0,273.6 pounds of milk to the cream ery. According to statements received from successful Kansas dairymen, it takes thirteen minutes to milk a cow. Assuming that an average cow will milk 800 days, we have a total of slx ty-flve hours, to lie charged to each cow. At 12% cents per hour this costs $8.12. It will probably cost 12% cento per 100 pounds to haul the milk, mak ing an expense of $7.84 per cow, mak ing the total expense for milking and hauling $15.00. Subtract this from $52.33, and we have left $30.37 per head to pay Interest on the money In vested In a common cow, besides pay ing for the labor of the men and boys on the farm. The figures Just given represent av erages. No enterprising dairyman will be satisfied with averages. The expe rience In raising calves outlined above indicates clearly that unless the cow gives considerably more inlik than Is needed for the calf It will not pay to milk her. Outlook For Horse Itrocriliiir. As to comparative profits In stock raising, my observation teaches ine that the average man will succeed In the following order: Cows, sheep, pigs, liorsi's. If the man has the ability and fancy, sheep far outclass all other stock for a sure thing. At the present time horses are very high and In great demand. In fact, In the twenty-five years that I have been In the business there has been no time, with the ex ception of 1803 and 1804, but that the demand for a strictly first class business and family driving horse lias • been greater than I could supply. The business of horse breeding Is the most alluring of all as well as the most risky and hazardous, says a Vermont corre«pondont In Itural New Yorker. Oniii f tillurr For t oilllnic Moth. Clean culture pays without question jgnlnst the codling moth. Clods fur nlsh places for the larvae to pupate, ind brush and primings furnish fa rorlte quarters for such purposes. Many cocoons were found under brush, and trees under which brush was allowed to lie showed a corre ipondlng decrease In the number of eo*oons under the bark flakes and bands. AN IDEAL SILO. \ ( onrrrlr Mlo In ia I'rrfrct Mllo/' No Snj Vlrirlttlft I'ftrmrra. If we were called upon to descrllsi lu Hi' 1 fewest possible words a concrete silo, we would say a perfect silo. We arc moved it make thU declaration from the fact thai for the last three years we have been feeding from fifty to seventy bead of dairy cattle from a silo that may Justly be called by cither name. This may seem to be putting II rather strong, but during all these yean >ve have not thrown utvay 100 pounds of silage, neither have we fed any rotten or spoiled silage. We feel justified, therefore, lu calling a con cretc silo a perfect one, says a firm of Virginia farmers In American Agrlcul turlst. lu making the ne-cssary e*oa willon for our silo we found an excel lent quality of coarse sand, almost gravel. This we saved for mixing with Portland cement of the very best tptal lly. We excavated twelve feet below the surface. This carried us four feet below the level of our stable floor. In this we made no mistake, as It was a very easy matter to raise the silage that distance from the bottom of the silo. Next we built a set of forms out of one Inch hemlock boards to be used In the construction of the walls. These forms were to be placed Upon the In ildc and outside of the walls and fas tened together by rods, so as to be easily detachable when It was neccs wary to raise them. They were about eight feet long and two feet high, This wn as high as four masons could lay the wall In one day and work conven lently. The forms were placed eight een Inches apart, the tiilclujcss of the , WHIIS, and firmly held together by the ( rods. This formed a continuous circle Uitt alio. Methods o( Construction. The bottom of the slk> -was thorough l.r grouted to the extreme outside of the walls, and the construction of tin walls was begun upon this grouting Each morning found the walls sufil elently set, or hardened, to proceed with the work. The sand and eemeut were mixed In the proportion of four of the former and one of the latter. The stones— Jagged ones are pref erable—■were of any size from a hen's egg to fifty pounds. Great care was taken that no stone should reach with in three inches of the forms on either side. This space was thoroughly grouted with mortar only. This pre vented the frost from having a con tlntious passage through the walls and freezing the silage. The door frames were securely attached by taking a number of old wagon tires, cutting them in five foot lengths. One end was bent over six inches and firmly imbed ded In the masonry. By cutting a heavy thread on the other eud, extend ing through the door frame and fasten ing with n nut, or bur, it was secure. The frames were set four feet from the bottom of the silo, on a level with our stable floor. The wagon tires were five feet apart and placed on each side of tho door frames. The walls when com pleted were comparatively smooth. The only additional treatment they re ceiVed was a heavy coat of pure ce ment washed Inside and outside with an ordinary mason's brush. Capacity* Coat and Quality. Our silo is twenty-two feet In diame ter, Inside measure; thirty feet high, with walls eighteen inches thick. It has a capacity of nearly 300 tons. It has a board roof, circular In form, cov ered with asbestus roofing felt. We can see no reason why this silo should not stand for many generations. It cost, counting all labor and materials, nearly .<7OO. We are confident that with our previous experience we could construct another of same size and quality for SSOO to $550. It seems strange that any one should hesitate about deciding which kind to erect, provided stones are enslly pro cured. When a concrete structure Is once linished It Is pracUcally finished for a lifetime. There is no shrinking of staves or tightening of hoops and no painting, no. admission of air be tween the staves and consequent spoil ed silage, no rotting down of the whole structure In a few years, to be replac ed by a new one. Xoot Device For a Cote. To make one of the best gate latches I ever saw for yard nnd garden gates take two pieces of wood Mi by 3 Inches, 10 Inches long, ami a short piece as thick as a girth ring and as long as the gatepost Is thick. Put the short piece between the two long pieces at one end; then nail all three pieces togeth er. Now take n common girth ring; L-| J-; : j*p SIMPLE GATE LATCH. put between the two long pieces at the open cud; let half of the ring come be low the long piece. Drive a nail through so us to hold the ring In be tween i«ieces. Drive another nail on Inside of the ring an inch nearer tho open end; put one on the Iwttom edge in front of the ring, so you can't push It forward.

"Sheep are In strong demand In-ths picture market," said the manager of u department store art gallery. "If I were a painter of animal studies I would confine my work entirely to pic tures of sheep. They sell better than any other animal pictures. I suppose Uie reason is that sheep lend them selves to more artistic poses than oth er quadruped subjects. They can be more effectively grouped, and the con-_ tour of their bodies Is In soft and rounded lines well adapted to artistic work. Then sentiment is a factor In the popularity of these pictures. The women and children always are at tracted by them, especially by pictures of sheep lost In n storm, which appeal to their sympathies. Cows are a poor Hecond to sheep In popularity, and the demand for horses Is very light. The horse is a somewhat conventional sub ject and one very difficult to portray artistically, while the sheep can bo easily and effectively Introduced Into a picture." -I'hlladelpliln Itecord.
