14 the gveebev cuto gtpm-temcm (February 8, 190- ; THE FARM. H Protein for the Dairy Cow. On this Biibject Professor Otis of the Kansas Agricultural Society says: Profits in dairying depend very largely upon the ability of the farm and the farmer to produce what is needed by the cows right on the farm This does not mean quantity alone, but quality as well. Any practical farmer knows that there is a great difference in the feeding value of our different crops. It has been found by repeated trials at the experiment station and by practical feeders of both dairy and beef animals, that this difference in our feeds is largely, if not wholly, due the differing content of the i.roup of chemical elements known as protein. The experi- ence of both practical dairymen and sci- entific experts show that the average dairy cow. in order to show her best, needs all the way from two to three pounds of digestible protein per day. A cow feed on corn and corn stover will have just about half the protein she needs, and, as a result, will give some milk, but cannot do her best: and no matter how much corn and stover we may give her, she has nowhere near the capacity to handle enough to furnish the protein she needs, to say nothing of the wear and tear on her sys- tem in handling so much extra and un- usable material not protein. TVe muat bear in mind that protein is an absolutely essential ingredient of milk, I and must appear in the raw material if there is to be a finished product. Sup- pose a farmer brings home a wagon load of lumber and five pounds of xen-penny nails and instructs his hired man to take ' a saw, cut up the lumber into small pieces, ! and nail the pieces together into boxes. : The man would go to work and make boxes as long as the supply of nails held out, but after the nailB were used up he could not make any more boxes, no matter how ( much lumber he had. So it is wiih the cow; she will manufacture milk as long as her supply of protein holds out, but after that is exhausted she cannot make any more milk, no matter how much of the other ingredients she may have. So' the problem that confronts dairymen is not how to procure the maximum produc-' tion of any one crop, but the maximum ' production of a variety of crops which, ! when combined, will furnish the nutrients needed by bis cows, without much sur- ) plus of any one crop." Stopping Abortion in a Herd. Some twenty-five years ago I had con- siderable experience in Lincolnshire. Eng- I land, with contagious abortion among I pure bred Shorthorns in that and neigh- boring counties. In addition to local dis- infection we always used internal antisep- tics, principally pure creosote. After- wards when pure crystalized carbolic acid was put on the market by a large manufacturing concern we tried it with good success. Later on we returned to the use of pure creosote mainly owing to the fact that we found less of it was needed and that it did not canse the same bad effects on the kidneys which the con- tinued use of carbolic acid is likely in some cases to produce. During my term as state veterinarian of Colorado from 1893 to 1S99, I frequent- ly advised the use of internal antiseptics with considerable success where treat- ment was practicable, always of course with external disinfection, with a weak solution of bichloride of mercury. Acting on my advice printed in the veterinary >id Farm Eugene Grubb, of Garfield county completely and quickly eradicated contagious abortion in his purebred Short- horn herd by this means. I do not write at this time, however, for the purpose of showing that the antiseptic treatment of contagious abortion is new, but to repub- lish some practical pointers on the meth- od of administering carbolic acid or cre- osote in such cases. These agents are only partially soluble in water and unless exceedingly well mixed with the feed will blister the mouth or ether portions of the digestive tract. In such cases harm may result and there is always a decided aversion on the part o' the animal to cont nne the treatment. As both these agents are readily soluble in glycerine and wten so dissolved easily mix with water or damp feed, they cause no local irritation and in addition become much more palatable to the animal. Hence I have found that carbolic acid or creosote given internally should always be first dissolved in twice the bulk of glycerine and the mixture should be well shaken before the addition of water or feed and in all cases both agents should be used absolutely pure. One dram of creosote is equal in potency, as an inter- nal antiseptic, to four drams or one-half ounce of carbolic acid. The external dis_ infectant, with a weak solution of bichlo- ride of mercury, is equally as important as the internal treatment Chas. Ceesswell. Weil-Bred Stallions FOR SALE.

Address ROSE DALE STOCK FA KM. Santa Rosa Cal. Take Better Care of Calves. It is extremely doubtful if we can im- prove on the best specimens of beef cattle existing to-day, says the Live Stock J "World. They have almost reached the â point of superlative excellence, both as to build and economy in feed consnming. ' But unfortunately the cattle of indifferent â quality, and those ranking as poor and : scrubs are in the great majority, and it is to the task of bringing the grades to a higher plane than we must devote our- j selves. Stinting calves of food after weaning time is one cause of deterioration. The young animal loses its mother's milk at! a time when it is most needed, and left to shift for itself on scanty pasture, fails to make the growth needed to make it profitable. A continuous supply of food is imperative. The only way to secure bet er grade cattle is a distribution of pure-bred sires, and as the average farmer is reluctant to pay fancy prices, breeders must come to his terms if they are to claim him as a customer. Jersey cattle are now registered up to the number of 219,000 in the Herd Regis- ter of the American Jersey Cattle Club. Strike!âif they don't give you Jack- son's Nana Soda.' Lou's Piaelzer, Chicago, is quoted as saying that out of every 4000 or 5000 head of cattle he buys he does not get ten car- loads of really ripe, choice beef no matter what price he may pay or offer. The cat- tle, he says, are being sent to market about as fast as the feeders dare risk them and when they are dressed they show the results of the skimping policy that has been pn sued in feeding them. Mr. Pfael- zer further remarks that it costs the big packerB eleven cents a pound to lay good beef down in New York and that there they are wholesaling it at 9 to 9>£ cents per pound, which he remarks shows what sort of a game the packers are up against. When asked what he thought of the pros- pects for pricesthecomiugseason he said: "Good, ripe, fat finished cattle are bound to se 11 very high and all hands, butchers. slaughterers, buyers, wholesalers and re- tailers might just as well makeup their minds to face the music now as at any other time."
