CARE FOR COWS -
AFTER CALVING
‘Because of Her Low Vitality
Good Treatment Needed.
The care of the cow after calving
4 | depends upon a variety of things. Her
/ ‘vitality is low following parturition
‘and she should bg treated according-
‘ly. She should be protected from cold
‘drafts and in cold weather her water
‘should be warmed for two or three
days or at least she should not be
compelled to drink very cold water.
i ~ For the first” few days the ration
frosts should be light in character and not
? ? ‘very abundant. A bran mash made
by moistening bran with warm water
is well adapted for the grain portion
with which may be fed such hay as
the cow will consume. If the udder
is swollen and hard, the grain ration
should be, increased very slowly, pos-
he sibly using two weeks hefore attempt-
ing to get the cow on full feed, With
heavy milkers it may be well to post-
pone this even longer. No alarm need
be felt if the udder remains inflamed
and hard for a number of days, pro-
viding milk can be drawn freely from
each quarter. It is recommended that
'if the cow is a good milker she should
be milked at least three times daily
or oftener until the inflammation
leaves the udder.
It is preferable to allow the calf
to suck for at least the first twenty-
four hours and some allow them to
} suck for even a longer period than
i this. With high producing cows li-
able to have milk fever, it is quite a
“ common practice to milk out a little
milk “several times a day until dan-
ger from this trouble is past. This
. may be continued for two- or three
days or until such time as may seem
necessary with the individual cow. It
. is believed advantageous to leave
. enough milk in the udder to cause
considerable pressure during the dan-
gerous period and for this reason only
sufficient milk is drawn to relieve the
' extreme pressure.
After the first two or three days the
frequency of milking will depend very
largely upon the ability of the cow to
produce milk. As a general rule, it is
advisable when a cow produces 50
pounds or more a day to milk her
more than twice daily. For lower pro-
ducing cows it is of doubtful advan-
tage to milk oftener than this, at least
so far as profit in milk production is
concerned. It is estimated that milk-
ing cows three times a day instead of
‘twice will increase the production by
12 to 18 per cent, particularly with
the better producing animals.
Red and White Holsteins
Are Not Very Desirable
Occasionally the offspring of a pure-
bred Holstein bull may be red and
even when the dams are likewise pure-
bred animals of the same breed. When
this happens it shows the cows also
carry the red color, but it is not seen
until mated with a bull that also car-
ried it, then about half the calves
will be red and white in place of black
and white. Red and white Holsteins
are not accepted for registry but are
just as good for ordinary use.
As a matter of fact when such an
imals appear in a Holstein herd they
are usually disposed of at once. This.
red and white color is very interest-
ing from a scientific breeding stand-
point and the facts as stated are well
understood, Another interesting fact
is that if red and white offspring of
black and white Holsteins are mated
the offspring will be all red and white.
The black color is lost forever unless
plack and white blood is again intro-
duced. !
I —————.
Keep Milking Machines
Sanitary at All Times
The milking machine is coming in
common use on dairy farms. It is a
splendid labor-saving device for milk-
ing, but it does require some extra
labor to keep it clean and this is apt
to be overlooked.
Off-flavored cream is often traced
to unwashed milking machines. It
should be remembered that milk is
the most fertile ground for the growth
of bacteria, and when the milking ma-
chine is not kept clean it is very apt
to become unsanitary.
The extra labor required to keep the
machine clean and sanitary is small
in comparison with the amount of la-
bor it saves in milking. It is simply a
matter of seeing that it is properly
done every day.
Keeping the milking machine in
proper condition requires study and
care the same as it requires study and
care to learn how to run any impor-
tant piece of machinery. Give it your
attention!
Maintaining Cows
The cost of maintaining cows is
best shown by example. A dry cow
weighing 1,000 pounds, if maintained
on corn silage and clover hay, would
require daily 20 pounds of silage and
eight pounds of clover hay. "This does
not appear to be much, but a herd of
12 cows of similar weight would re-
quire in a year 43.8 tons of silage and
17.5 tons of hay if fed throughout the
year on these two roughages. If no
more than this were fed there would
be very little milk produced.

HATCH TURKEYS
IN INCUBATORS
Eggs Given Same Treatment
as the Ordinary Hen.
- It takes 28 days but turkey eggs
can be hatched in incubators just the
Turkey raisers
in several parts of Colorado are s&v-
ing hours and days of hard labor that
way and in the eastern part of Wy-
oming it is almost the universal prac-
tice. ¥
The big job is to get enough eggs
together at one time for a full-sized
setting. They should not be held for
more than ten days, according to
Charles N. Keen of the Colorado agri-
cultural college, should be kept at a
temperature of from 50 to 60 degrees
Fahrenheit, and turned daily. The in-
cubator should be thoroughly cleaned
and disinfected then warmed to the
correct temperature.
The temperature of hatching tur-
keys’ eggs in the ease of small ma-
chines, where the heat is at the top,
may be one-half degree to one degree
lower ‘ average than for hens’ eggs.
As a guide for those who do not have
the instructions for their machine, the
average temperature starts at about
101 degrees and, increases to about
103 or 104 degrees the last week. If
the eggs carry good fertility, the body
heat from the developing peults will
gradually bring up the temperature
of the machine.
Additional moisture is needed as
with hens’ eggs. (A tray of sand kept
wel will supply it.) Turkey poults
should not be taken from the incuba-
tor until they are thoroughly dried off
and appear strong on their legs.
When the eggs are set under hens
or turkey hens, steps should be taken
to insure freedom from lice or mites
as these parasites cause very serious
losses among the young poults. The
nest boxes should be sprayed before
the eggs are set. The setting hen
should be dusted thoroughly with
saponified sodium fluoride or some
other good lice powder at least three
times during the latter part of the
setting period, but prior to the twen-
ty-fifth day.
Define Good Litter
for Brooder House
There is no best litter to use in the
brooder house, but there are certain
requirements a litter must meet to be
It should be light in
weight, thus allowing the droppings
and dirt to work to the floor so the
chicks are less likely to come in con-
with contaminated material; it
should be absorbent, and therefore
capable of keeping the floor of the
brooder house dry; cheap, so one can
afford to replace it every five days
after the first four weeks; and should
be clean, which means free from mold,
mustiness and dust.
Shavings, cut straw and cut hay
meet these requirements. These are
not the only materials that one can
use, but they are among the best.
Straw or hay used for litter, should
always be cut. If the straw or hay
is not cut it becomes matted and cov-
ered with droppings, and is therefore
of no value for litter. .
Bacillary white diarrhea, coccidio-
sis, and intestinal worms are spread
to a large extent by dirty litter, the
Cornell experiment station warns. One
rule in brooding chicks that should be
followed, if all others are forgotten,
is “clean the brooder house every five
days.” This means removing the lit-
ter, sweeping the floor of the brooder
house, and putting in clean litter. °
Poultry Hints
CE REE
Do not condemn the late molting old
hens, for they are very often our best
and most continuous layers.
* * *
If the poultry house is not provided
with ample window space so that the
entire floor may be well lighted even
during the winter days, additional win-
dows should be put in. :
* * *
The use of cod liver oil in rations
for baby chicks that are hatched in
early spring has been well established.
* * *
Egg-shell formation necessitates the
use of large amounts of lime. Poor
egg-shell texture is due to faulty sup-
ply or utilization of lime for the pur-
pose.
* .
Fewer chicks on new ground with
good management will bring better re-
turns than many chicks hatched and
put few saved, by raising them with
the flock on old ground.
; * x %
Keep pullets away from the old
hens so that they can be fed and han-
dled differently.
* - ®
Feed for setting hens should-consist
mostly of whole grains, such as corn
and wheat. Green feeds and meat tend
to make them desire to quit setting
and begin laying.
*
* %x
Provide plenty of hopper space to
give each chick a chance to eat. If
the chicks are raised with hens there
should be a feed coop that the large
chickens cannot get into.

WHEN the new Ford was de-
signed, it was immediately
apparent that a new tire
would have to be made to
match the car’s perform-
ance. It was distinctly a new
problem, for here was a car
with quicker acceleration,
greater speed and more
braking efficiency than any
car of similar size or weight.
So that every Ford owner
might be assured of maxi-
mum tire mileage atthelow-
est cost, the Ford Motor
Company devoted many
months to research and
experiment in conjunc-
tion with the leading tire
manufacturers.
As a result, certain defi-
nite specifications. were de-
veloped for tires for the new
Ford. These specify cords of
certain strength and texture,
a large volume of tread and
side-wall rubber, sturdy non-
skid design, and reinforced
plies for protection against
bruise breaks—all the
strong features of construc-
tion formerly considered
for only the largest tires.
Great care also was taken
to secure the best riding qual-
ities in connection with the
transverse springs
and the Houdaille
shock absorbers.
Tires for the new Ford
are specially made
to give long wear

Though the Ford tires are
designated as 30 x 4.50,
they have the resiliency and
air space of much larger
tires because of the drop
center rim of the steel-spoke |
wheels.
For best results, the tires
on the new Ford should be
kept inflated to an air pres-
sure of 35 pounds and
checked regularly to insure
this pressure all the time.
This is important. Low in-
flation breaks down the side-
walls of a tire. By causing
overheating, it also destroys
the rubber that acts as an
insulation, with consequent
separation of the cord.
At the end of each 5000
miles, when you have the
front wheels packed with
grease, it is a good plan to
have the wheel alignment
checked. This will prevent
premature wear.
When punctures come, as
they will with any tire, you
will find the Ford dealer
particularly well-equipped
to make repairs quickly and
at small cost. See him, too,
for replacements. Then
you will be sure of getting
tires built specially for the
Ford car according
to definite Ford |
