There mentis appeared a report of the test of a Ilolsteln cow nt the Minnesota Min-nesota experiment station, wh-rcln the leld of milk was SSI pounds In seven dajs, nnd from v hlch It was calculated by Babcock lest that 20 pounds, ST ounces ot butter might have been produced pro-duced Upon this record the claim Is based that the worlds butter record hns been broken I believe It Is customary when an Individual In-dividual holds n record for performance In any line, lo concede him tho champ, lonshlp until some other Individual shows a better performance in the rame line And Inasmuch ns the cow for whom the worlds record In claimed In this lest, made no butter whatever, I think It duo to the present holder of the chumplonshlp to contest tho claim It would be Just as consistent to de-prlvo de-prlvo a Hotting champion of his record by comparing It with one made by a galloper, or to create n new mile record rec-ord bs estimating tho time from that made In n furlong spurt The Ilolsteln cow did not make a butter record any more than the runner makes a pacing record Hut thero Is nnother and mor obvious ob-vious reason whs this Is not the world s butter record Kvcn If the eow s milk had been churned and produced Id pounds 6" ounces of butter In seven diss, she would not be tho champion butter row A nunibw of bottel records rec-ords lie betwten her and the championship champ-ionship In the Jersey bree-1 alono thero arc llfteen cows with weekly butter but-ter records of SO pounds 12 nuncen or belter Thlilecn of theso are published In the American Jersey Cattle clubs test book anl of the thirteen, five aro ofl'clal tests, vouched for by members of the club oprolnted by tho president to oversee them Fro&tablo Meat Animals The worll Is full of theory about this and that bMng ob good a form of animal for meat tho best piolllable meat we mean but there are worlds of undiscovered Information when one gets down to the facts which put aside many theories, and gives one solid grounds for his beliefs These ln general gen-eral are tho work tho agricultural col-leges col-leges nnd experiment stations aro doing do-ing for the countrs.

A good many seem lo lliluk That they cannot raise calves unless they havo sweet milk for them Tho expense of suppling this food Is so great that these farmers do not. feel like Incurring It, nnd tho co iscquenco Is they are compelled to buy their calves or go without them Is sweet milk neccssnr) 1 I do not think so Every ear since we came on the farm, nov almost thirteen years, wo havo raised calves and always without with-out using sweet milk save In the very earliest part of the calt s life. The calf Is taken from the mother not later than twenty-four hours ntter Its birth. Two things aio gained by this course Tho mother mourns less and docs better, bet-ter, and the calf docs not get the habit ot sucking so that it must be broken It Is better to put the calt somewhere out of sight ot tho mother, too Tor two weeks we give the calf fresh milk Just from the cow. This gives It a good start and by this time It has learnej to drink well Then wo gradually gradu-ally Introduce a llttlo sklm-mllk Into the nnltnnl s rnllnn At llrst not more than oi. unit li it ritton of thro or four quartz Is used Slowly the quan-tHS quan-tHS oi skim mlik is increase 1 until at the end oi two weeks the calf Is citing all skim milk OI coutse th skim milk does not contain all tho rich elements found In the whole milk and It Is desirable to put something into the ration which will take the place of the missing parts Dor this 1 hive fount nothing Iwltcr than v heat bian with n small amount of oil meil The ,nlf will begin to IIlI rran very calls riom a box 1 have made little boxes on purpose ror this These should be placed tar enough away so lhat the air cannot tip them over, or fa ten d se uil against tho side of the ba n The question mas bo flaked whs tie brun Is fed drs I answer 1 cause ir put in the milk the grain will ho cairled Into he stom ich In an almost entire condition, unmixed with sallvn them to prove a source of Irritation to thu tender stomich If cntcn cry. the bran will bo inKcd with the natural fluids nnd llttcd for dlges tlon much better I do not give mora thin an eighth of a pound of luan nt ("rst.

Beroro taking charge of the dairy herd ot tho Minnesota experiment sti-tlon, sti-tlon, I traveled extensively over the blnte, looking up Its dairy Interests, nnd tho prospect was not llatlerlnr Lo v prlcea for all dairy prolucls, little lit-tle knowledge nmontr dalrsmcn and a typo of cow n not suited for tho business the lule. M hen I went to the station, 1 determined to work out tho cost of production, and slnco I have been there, we havo weighed overs pound of fool tho animals were tel known Its cost weighed nil the milk received and tested It tor Its butter rat Wo reed each cow all she ran consume con-sume and os3lmilatc At tho end of the flrBt sear iv e found that some cows charged us 17 cents per pound ror hut-ter hut-ter made from their milk while others charged only 12 cents, and others. ranged rang-ed between theso two sums, Tho bree 1 mule no difference; some Shorlhorns made cheap butler, nn 1 some Jersevs costly butter. Breed had nothing to do with tho cost It was all In the cow. Size or color had nothing to do with It We put all the cows tint inado cheap butter on ono side, an I ranged tho cows who charged tho most for butter on the other side Duch side, no matter mat-ter what breed showed similar characteristics charac-teristics Those that charged a high price were sleek, nice looking animals that would answer tho description ot the gencinl purposo cow, while thoso that mado butter cheap had tho genuine genu-ine dalrs tspe, tha light quartern, and tho heavy wedged shaped barrel Every pound of food consumed was put to good use It tal es Just about so much food to run the machlners" of evers cow. The question Is what does she do with the rest of her food' If she returns It to you In the form of milk she may be a profitable cow , It she lays It on her back as fat, sho Is not a dairy cow. Always avoid tho cow that his a ten-dency ten-dency to lay on fat, If sou want cheap milk production I am going to tell you how to know a good eow It's a simple pmtter. One or two signs tell a good cow as well tin twenty In a poor cow the thigh runs down straight, so thero Is no cpaco between the thigh and udder, on one side, nnd tho tall on tho other There should be plenty of daylight between tho udder and tho tall One of the ht,t vnys to tell what kind of a cow you hive Is by her vein-pcinment vein-pcinment A good dairy type has a srarp iiplne, strongly developed nervous nerv-ous sjstem and sharp hip bones A good cow has a large nnd powerful digestive di-gestive sjstem to use her food quickly and make the best returns for It. Borne of the animals the first year made but llttlo over 500 pounds per eow, while others gave over J pounds Wa have kept up these records every year, nnd the last sear our cows aver aged 399 pounds per row and at a cost of only 4 2 cents per pound of butter for feed Ono cow give us S12 pounds during the year. These were not picked, pick-ed, high-priced cows, but the common run of dairy stock I'rof. T. L. Haecker. Curing Calves of tho Scours.
