Mr. Arey says that records from the local herd improvement association show that pasture has a value of from $6 to $10 per acre when cream from the cows so grazed is sold for butter making. The value is greater where milk is retailed.

Mineral Mixtures Very Important for Cattle The feeding of mineral mixtures to dairy cattle is very important, for dairy cows lose a large amount of mineral matter during the lactation period and do not store minerals at that time. This is the statement contained in a report of the Colorado Dairy Herd Improvement association, by State Dairy Commissioner George E. Morton and C. A. Smith, fie'.dman, which lias been issued by the Colorado Agricultural college. Even when cows are on rations containing large amounts of minerals, it lias been found that the addition of a mineral mixture helps prolong product! ui a number of years, nod Insures a large and more rugged calf crop, the report states. A little steamed bone meal or a mixture of equal parts of crushed limestone, steamed bone meal and salt added to the ration will insure a long er period of production, healthier cows and decrease breeding troubles.

Of next importance, then, is how to treat it when it conies. Dr. Caldwell always was in favor of getting as close to nature as possible, hence his remedy for constipation is a mild vegetable compound. It can not harm the most delicate system and is not habit forming. The Doctor never did approve of drastic physics and purges. lie did not believe they were good fin human beings to put into their system.
