recent years we cave learned that the cows should be in good condi tion at thellme of freshening during the dry period the cow stores energy and tissue for turning into milk after the calf has arrived this cannot be done unless she has more feed than is necessary for mere subsistence now that we have learned how to treat for milk fever the final argument for starving cows before calving is re moved good dairy cows are nervous crea tures so we exercise more care with them than with the draft mare or the sow particularly at this time of fresh ening a comfortable box stall is pro vided for the occasion when the calf comes in cold weather we also pro vide the mother with a blanket lest she be chilled her udder is not milk ed completely dry for two days after the calf is born where necessary the afterbirth is removed inside of forty- eight hours and the cow is not per mitted to eat it as is too generally allowed while we take pains at this time to have the cows in good flesh special attention is given to the matter of feeding for the first two or three weeks after calving overfeeding is dangerous the first day or two only some warm water a portion of scald ed bran or oats and some good hay is all that will be necessary or desirable gradually the cow is then worked onto full feed which sometimes requires three weeks was made up of phlox oriental poppy anemone shasta daisy

harness is to use plenty of coaloil in a pan and scrub the straps with a brush as i pull them through the oil that will soften them and clean the dirt and old oil out of the sewing and pores of the leather then after a few hours of drying i put on the harnessoil with a brush next day i wipe the oil off with a rag and then the leather is oiled all the way through so that the rain can not get in for a long time the coaloil will not hurt the leather unless it gets wet before the grease is put on if it gets wet before the grease is on the leather will be very hard and you would have to use more coaloil to get it soft again elmer e jones keep the bull full of good feed proper feeding of the herd bull is just as important as the proper feed ing of the milk cows too often the spoiled or musty hay is put to one side to bo fed to the bull again we find dairymen giving the waste feed left by other animals to the herd sire all of which is a poor practice the herd bull old enough for ser vice should be fed enough to keep him in a vigorous healthy condition free from excess fat most breeders feed their regular grain mixture to the bull at the rate of four to ten pounds daily depending upon the size and condition of the animal and the var iety of roughage a good grain mix ture to use consists of three parts ground corn three parts ground oats three parts wheat bran and one part linseed oil meal ground oats are especially good for bulls cottonseed meal is generally looked upon with disfavor since it may cause impot- ency legume hay whenever available should be fed at the rate of ten to twenty pounds a day legumes are high in protein and mineral matter and will keep tho heavily used biil in good condition when nonlegume roughages such as timothy hay fod der or straw are fed it is necessary to feed more linseed oil meal than with the legume roughages breeders differ as to the breeding powers of tho bull when silage is fed silago fed in large amounts will have a tendency to distend the p aunch which is very undesirable however ten to fifteen pounds of silage daily may be safely fed along with other roughages it is essential that the herd bull receive plenty of water and
