[>,\TpY BADGER HOLSTEIN BEST AT MILKING Wisconsin Four-Year-Old Makes New Machine Mark. A new national record in the “Farmer’s Class’* milkings has been established by Wincowis Mandy Homestead, a four-year-old Holstein, according to the Holstein-Friesian Association of America. On a two-time milking, with a milking machine, “Mandy” produced junior-four-year-old, 682.48 pounds of butterfat (853 butter) in 20,114 pounds of milk in 365 days. This is 45 pounds more butterfat (56 more butter) and 1,047 pounds more milk than the previous record holder, Chesney Pietertje Sweet, owned by the county of Essex, Cedar Grove, N. J. At no time during the year, according to the owners, Charles Hughes and son of Neenah, Wis., was Mandy milked more than two times a day, and it wasn’t until she had been in milk for seven months that they suspected that she was headed for a record. A She was milked with a milking machine throughout the year. Mandy calved May 4, 1928, and started her test on May 7. She weighed 1,500 pounds at that time, and also as the test year closed. She carried a calf for seven months of the test and is due again in July. No special care was provided for Mandy, and she was put on pasture a few days after calving and remained there with the rest of the herd until November 1. According to Hughes, her ration consisted of ground corn, oats and barley, with the addition of bran, oil meal, and gluten feed. She ate from eight to sixteen pounds of this a day in addition to hay and pasture. No special mineral feed or mineral mixture was provided at any time, although several commercial feeds were tested but without result. Poor Dairy Ration Not Bad in Many Respects The commonly considered poor ration is not so bad in some respects, according to Dr. F. B. Hadley of the department of veterinary science of the University of Wisconsin. The data that have been gathered on this subject have come from the herds of dairy cows at the experiment station that are being put through a five-year test to determine the importance of ration in the ability of cattle to withstand the ravages of the abortion germ. The poor ration is one composed of corn, silage*, timothy hay, non-legume pasture and corn gluten weal. The ration is not balanced in protein and low in minerals. The other herd of cows is on a ration legume hay, silage, legume pasture, oilmeal, bone meal, salt and a well-balanced grain ratio plus a half pound of cod liver oil daily. The cows on the low protein and mineral ration maintained their weight and gave practically as much butterfat in a year as did the herd on the better balanced ration and getting the cod liver oil. Healthy Calves Raised Without Use of Milk Although it is much easier to raise cabves by feeding them milk for six months or more, good calves can be raised without milk after the first two months, provided that they have a good start and are strong, healthy calves at weaning time. It ’ls essential that such calves be allowed to eat grain and hay at an early age. The grain fed during the first two or three weeks is cracked corn or crushed oats, or a mixture of both, fed dry. When the milk is discontinued a more complete mixture is used. It is best to feed some form of leguminous hay, because of the protein content. *************************** Dairy Notes ************************** Higher production from the dairy cow means higher profits. Young bulls as well as older ones should have access to salt. • • • Every calf should be provided with plenty of roughage, such as alfalfa or mixed hay, as soon as it will eat it. • • * Members of New York dairy improvement associations prove that a larger ration of grain for cows is not an expense but an investment, and in some instances the return is, as much as 300 per cent. • • * It takes two purebreds to make a world record at the pail. The best cow in the world can’t do it with a scrub to handle her! There is no better dairy feed than silage, legume hay, ground corn and cob meal, cottonseed meal, and wheat bran or ground oats. That the feeding of silage to the dairy herd increases milk production and brings greater profits is just one of the many talking points in favor of the silo on the farm. « • • When a dairyman thinks of Improving his dairy herd he should think of three things; better breeding, better feeding, closer culling. Just as soon as the cows cannot find plenty of grass, then It is time to feed some supplement, both for the good of the cows and the pasture. • • • Many farmers now hold silage over for summer feeding, wltfch provides succulence for the cows as well as being helpful In relieving the strain upon the pastures, "— J

By W. A. RADFORD Mr. William A. Radford will answer questions and give advice FRIIE OF COST on all problems pertaining to the subject of building work on the farm, for the readers of this paper. On account of his wide experience as editor, author and manufacturer, he is, without doubt, the highest authority on the subject. Address all inquiries to William A. Radford, No. 407 South Dearborn Street, Chicago, 111., and only inclose two-cent stamp for reply. The goal of every flock owner Is to produce eggs in late fall and winter when prices are high. This can be done if the chicks are hatched early enough so that they will develop into pullets that will begin laying in the fall. No matter how good the pullets are unless they are housed in a building which will provide them with warm quarters and at the same time give them plenty of fresh air the maximum production cannot be secured. Shown in the accompanying illustration is a modern saw-tooth roof poultry house. This bulding is 32 feet long and 18 feet wide, which provides space for 100 layers. The building is set on a concrete foundation with a concrete floor and should be placed on a site so that it extends east and west and faces the south to get the benefit of all the sunshine available during the shortest days of the year and the early winter. Probably no building will waste more money for the flock owner than the poorly built laying house. Every poultry owner who has watched egg production drop when a cold snap comes on can testify to this. The same flock, same feed, the same degree of health bring a heavy egg yield in the properly constructed house, whereas in a house where there are drafts and low temperatures egg production will be cut materially, for the food the hens

Three Important Things When Building of Brick A beautiful brick may be chosen for the walls of a house and then have its beauty completely obscured by having it set In the wrong mortar joint. Three things must be considered in its selection—color, texture, and size and kind. Chosen according to these specifications, and providing of course, that the brick chosen is right to start with, the mortar joint will bring out the fine shades and tones of the brick in such away as to enhance very greatly its natural beauty. Texture in the mortar joint is produced either by finishing it rough or smoothing it with the trowel or a tool made for that purpose. Overdone, it is apt to give each brick the appearance of being framed. Done artistically, it provides shadows which make a tapestry pattern on the wall. The size and kind of mortar joint have a distinct bearing on the whole effect, both as to color and pattern. The choice might range from a thin “buttered” joint one an inch

consume in a cold house goes to sustain body heat rather than to produce [ eggs. To combat this condition farmers are paying more and more attention to the construction of poultry houses and to the materials used in them. Not only are the walls of the building constructed so as to be weatherproof but are insulated against cold. This insulation also makes the house cooler in summer and a great many owners use them for brooder houses in the early spring. • The insulated laying house is a profit maker in another sense. It keeps the flock in better physical condition than is possible with a drafty cold house. The insulated house is not only warm but it is dry and where an efficient system of ventilation is installed the air Is kept fresh. Therefore, the vitality of the flock is kept at a high peak. If disease does appear in one or two birds, it does not spread rapidly. It has been observed, that rupe will run through a flock kept in a wet cold house before the birds first infected really warn the owner of the presense of the disease. The laying flock is a big investment on any farm and must be kept warm and dry. Accompanying the exterior view of this poultry house are the floor plan showing the equipment required to handle the flock with the least amount of labor; an architect’s cross section of the building and some of the construction details. It will be noted that the cross section shows the dimensions of the lumber to be used In building the house and the height of the walls and the run of the rafters. A study of the plan and of the cross section and details will assist the builder materially in getting a house that will keep his flock productive.

in width. As to the kind, it may be cut flush, raked out or tooled in various shapes. Consider these things as carefully as you do your choice of brick, for they are important elements that go to make up the beautiful fabric of the brick wall. 4 Use of Varnish Stains, Enamel Interior Finish Varnish stains color the wood and let the grain show through. Enamels give a solid coat of color that is rich and satiny in its texture. The range of colors is wide and manufacturers give explicit directions for securing any tint or shade desired. Os course, the most satisfactory finishes are absolutely waterproof and can be washed without injury to gloss or color.
