In the same way there is not much pleasure owning a “talking machine” with a fixed volume of tone. Tone- control is just as essential to enjoyment as tone-quality. “l]lith a Columbia Grafonola you get both. A convincing example of the triumph of tone plus tone- control is this complete and completely enclosed upright Columbia Grafonola.

DAIRY ano CREAMERY PURCHASED FEED PAYS. Interesting Comparison of a Number of Ohio Dairy Farms. Cows are being asked today to pro- duce at the pail. They may or they may not have the color that denotes perfection. They may or they may not have a large escutcheon or mirror, but they must be able to produce profit- ably, says the Farm and Fireside. At the same time that this is-true it might be said, if the cows could:speak, that they are requiring of the owner a proper consideration at the feed box. It is a rule that works both ways— that is, If the profits are what they may be. An Ohio county through its county agent 1s pointing to this fact in.a com- plicated table of facts and figures, which go to-show that on the forty: The pure bred Guernsey cow Bel- dame IV. herewith pictured is a fine specimen of the breed. She is own- ed by Florham Farms, Madison, N. J. Beldame IV. has a record at two years of age of 10,056 poupds of milk containing 457.88 pounds of fat. y| S nine farms in the county producing a labor income of nothing or less the sum received for every $100 feed con- sumed was $86. On the six best farms in the county for each $100 fed there was a return of $188. These facts are Interesting in the light of the corresponding figures af- fecting the feed that was purchased in each case. On the forty-nine farms $9 worth of feed was purchased from the outside for each cow in the herds. On the six best farms each cow received $32 worth of purchased feed. The conclusion cannot be drawn that the buying of feed from outside sources is to be recommended and the grow- ing of feed at home to be discouraged. It does say that purchased concen- trates added to home grown feeds in- crease the earning power of the home crops. It pays to give the cows what they need. THE KICKING HEIFER. Milker Often to Blame For Bad Habite Developed by Cows. Most bad habits are detrimental to the individuals that possess them, but in the case of the kioking cow I is the milker who pays the price by the loss of his temper and his patience, to say nothing of the milk which is spill- ed. In nine cases out of ten, however, the milker is the direct cause of the trouble, for he has been careless dur- ing the first two weeks of the heifer's motherhood. The reason that some cows learn to kick and others do not when milked by the same person is easily explained, says the Iowa Homestead. Cows are like people—some are much more sen- sitive than others. The moment one finds that a heifer Is inclined to kick she should be milked as carefully as possible. The teats should be squeezed firmly, but gently, for the opening through which the milk flows is fre- quently quite small at first. It should be remembered also that there is al- ways more or less inflammation in a heifer’s udder—in fact, many of them suffer with caked udder to some ex- tent. Hence very little. pressure causes pain. Another reason for the kicking habit is the long hairs which surround the teats of some heifers. In most heifers and cows these are short, but when they are long it is extremely difficult to keep from pulling them while milk- ing. To realize how severe the pain is it is only necessary for one to catch a bunch of his own hair and pull it sharply. A fine sensitive cow cannot stand such pain, so she Kkicks in.self defense. These long hairs should be kept clipped from the udders of both young and old cows. If the milker fails to recognize these simple rules in handling a fine cow he should kick himself and not the cow. Feeding a Dry Cow. Bran and oilmeal are excellent feeds for the dry cow previous to -caiving. Aim to have your cows calve in .a me- dium fat condition. If they are not getting in good enough condition with what you are feeding them add ome part hominy or corameal to the ration and increase the amount of the grain so the cows get four or five pounds daily and the heifers two or three pounds. During the week previous to calving this can be cut down so they are getting one or two pounds. After calving feed ten pounds mixed hay, fifteen pounds rutabagas and one pound of the following grain mixture for each three and one-half pounds milk pro- duced daily: Three parts distillers’ grain, two parts hominy or cornmeal, two parts gluten, two parts wheat mid- dlings. The cow should be given a hot bran mash after calving and be brought on to full feed gradually. Tur- nips should be fed after milking to avoid possibility of flavoring the milk. —Rural New Yorker.
