THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEEX FRIDAY MAY 19, 1916. OVERFAT COWS AT TIME OF CALVING Is it possible to have a cow too fat at calving time? Many dairymen say no, writes a correspondent of the New England Homestead. They think the fatter the cow the better. I am’satis- fied this is wrong. A cow does need to bave abundant flesh at the time of calving, both-to support the strain on her system of milk giving and to sup- port the development of the coming calf:. T believe a cow can be too fat ‘when she calves to give the most milk. Fat animals are not the best for breed- ing purposes. Sows can be too fat to bave good litters of plump pigs. If they are too fat very frequently they do not have milk enough to nourish the offspring. I have had sows so fat at farrowing time that the pigs were constantly hungry. In one case a very fat sow gave birth to but one pig, and that ‘was not a fine one. I had a large black cow, a good milk- er continuously. One year she was highly fed on the theory that if she Freckles Now js the Time to Get Rid of Those Ugly Spots, There’s no longer the slightest need of feeling ashamed of your freckles, as the prescription othine— double strength—is guaranteed to re- move these hoimely spots.

For this purpose the Milking Shorthorns are considered the best. In England the Short- horns are preferred over the pure dairy cattle and have won prizes over all others in some public tests.

It was left with her for a few days. I noticed that' it was continually! sucking its mother and the cow's bag never looked empty. " On examination I found that the udder was milked out clean. It 'was not caked or inflimed. When the calf was taken away I found that the milk did not come freely. The bag seemed so full of tallow there was no room for storing milk, and the lactic fluid had to come directly from the milk veins. I could strip and strip an hour without any nfiparent cessation of the feeble flow. This cow improved as the season ad- vanced, but -did not give her usual ‘yleld. " In fact, she did very poorly that entire milking period. The next year this cow was not allowed to get 80 fat, and when she calved her milk flow started off'much better. Through- out that milking period her yield was very '‘much 'greater ‘than ‘the previ- ous lactation period. I believe that in the one instance her bag was so full of tallow that when she calved there was no room for storage of milk and the udder tissues were not of the milking kind.” I like cows to be in good rich flesh, not poor or thin, but, on the oth- er hand, not fat and beefy. If the pas- ture is short they should be fed bran or meal or fodder corn or silage to keep $hem in good condition, and when in that state they will give best results at the milk pail, S S8 Y 2 U2 U N U 07 02 2 2 02 002 02 02 0 O AROUND THE DAIRY. The invention of the Babcock test is what has put more chani> pions in the field than any other mechanical contrivance. Don't expect any kind of a cow to make something out of nothin She can’'t do it. She doesn’t Know how. Do not leave the opeil pails standing around the cow stable while you milk the next cow. Take the milk where it will be free from contamination. Keep the calf pen clean and dry and give plenty of clean bedding. Calves are like plants; they must have sunlight to grow right. The bacteria that cause sour- ing do not thrive in cold milk. Therefore to keep your milk or cream sweet cool it without de- lay.

Dox of lowa college has been carrying on some experiments in feeding sulphur to swine. That sul- phur and its compounds may be a ben- cated in preliminary figures which coy- er sixty days of feeding. However, it is only one trial, and it would hardly be in order to generally recommend sul- phur feeding on such meager data. The sulphur was fed in three forms— the common powdered sulphur, sodium sulphate and iron sulphate or copperas, Some of the hogs were fed one of these alone. Other's received all of them in self feeders, and still others were fed the sulphur mixed with their other feeds. All the sulphur fed groups, with the exception of the heavy fed copperas group, did better than the check lot. Where all three sulphur materials are 1‘1'110\ved. according to the free choice system, the pigs made the most rapid gains, ate the most, required the least feed for a hundred pounds gain and re- iturned most profit per head. Too anuch copperas mixed with the feed ap- pears to be a bad practice. . In only one instance did the sulphur feeding appear to do harm, and that Was where it was fed in the form of Iron sulphate mixed with the feed. Wherg similar pigs had free access to the iron’sulphate they dte but a small amount and prospered better than the check group. From'this one experiment it seems that the free choice system of the three sulphur materials is the best. . Provcntvon of Pig Scours. “Scours in pigs is declared by one of Nebraska’s prominent hog raisers to be more destructive to the swine industry of the state than hog cholera. The causes are overfeeding, change in feed, decayed feed, lack of exercise or dirty water. Sometimes filth in pens and ‘bedding is an additional cause when it is taken into the pig’s system from the sow’s udder or from the navel. The rrection of these conditions is the first measure to be adopted. In case Beouring has started, the sow’s feed should be cut down to a small amourt of oats or bran. When the trouble is corrected the ration should be increased graduaily. VE U8 M2 2 2 W 2 E E W U2 U2 2 2 B FARM STOCK. If you are working for lots of mutton use a good, large, meaty ram.

Powdered charcoal fed in the sow’s slop will usually control the trouble. ‘Wool of good quality, quantity and texture grows only on the backs-of thrifty sheep.
