Hope,  of  New  Jersey,  sold  her  to  W.  II. 
Dupee,  of  California,  and  in  September 
of  the  same  year  she  commenced  her  sec¬ 
ond  test  for  the  advanced  register,  with 
the  result  of  13.665.5  pounds  milk  and 
689.56  pounds  butter  fat  for  one  year. 
quarts  at  two  pounds  per  quart,  450 
pounds  at  .046  per  cent.  With  butter 
fat  at  the  creamery  then  26  cents  we  fed 
it  $5,45  worth  of  cream.  The  skim-milk 
would  have  been  worth  one  cent  per  gal¬ 
lon  here  or  about  55  cents,  and  the  calf 
probably  ate  25  cents  worth  of  hay,  mak¬ 
ing  feed  cost  $0.25.  Thus  we  got  $4.85 
for  the  calf,  and  our  work.  Dairy  calves

Wintering  Horses  for  Market 
In  regard  to  getting  horses  in  good 
condition,  give  them  plenty  of  good  clean 
water  before  feeding.  Take  oats,  barley 
and  a  little  corn,  mix  them  together,  have 
them  ground.  Give  one  pint  of  molasses 
once  a  day  to  each  horse  on  his  feed. 
Give  mixed  hay,  as  I  do  not  think  much 
of  clover  hay  for  horses.  I ’y  fill  means 
give  one  tahlespoonfnl  of  ginger  to  each 
horse  in  his  feed,  three  times  a  week. 
This  keeps  the  stomach  in  good  condi¬ 
tion.  ELBERT  BOOS. 
I  would  feed  twice  a  day  what  clover 
hay  they  would  eat  in  20  minutes,  also 
taking  equal  parts  by  weight  of  oats  and 
barley.  Feed  <?ach  horse  one  pound,  for 
each  100  pounds  of  live  weight,  divided 
into  three  feeds,  also  one  handful  of  oil 
meal  at  each  feeding.  Give  once  a  day 
one  pint  of  molasses  and  one  tablespoon¬ 
ful  of  powdered  charcoal.  Feed  and  water 
regularly  and  give  moderate  exercise. 
Don’t  be  afraid  to  use  ‘‘card  and  brush.”

The  Sale  of  a  Calf 
We  had  a  veal  just  six  weeks  old  we 
wished  to  sell.  No  one  of  several  neigh¬ 
bors  could  tell  if  it  would  pay  best  to 
sell  him  on  foot  to  local  butchers  at  0V4 
cents  per  pound,  or  ship  him  dressed  to  San 
Francisco  commission  firm  with  quota¬ 
tions  13  cents  per  pound  delivered  there. 
We  decided  to  find  out  which  would  pay 
best.  The  veal  weighed  147  pounds  on 
foot,  dressed  10.”  pounds.  The  commis¬ 
sion  house  allowed  103  pounds,  13  cents, 
$13.39;  commission  10  per  Cent.,  $1.34, 
express,  95  cents,  $2.29 ;  net  to  us, 
As  to  Butter  Fats 
Will  some  of  the  dairymen  readers  of 
The  R.  N.-Y.  inform  me  how  I  can  in¬ 
crease  the  butter  fat  percentage  of  my 
dairy V  f.  b.  z. 
<  ikluhoma. 
This  was  one  of  the  questions  in  dis¬ 
pute  between  Abraham  and  Lot,  and  led 
to  their  disrupting  the  firm,  and  it  has 
never  been  satisfactorily  settled  to  every¬ 
one's  mind  since.  There  is  a  quite  gen¬ 
eral  belief  that  fat  can  he  fed  into  milk, 
but  it  seems  to  lie  assertion,  as  no  one 
of  tin*  believers  seem  to  have  confidence 
enough  in  it  to  supply  the  extra  feed  that 
they  admit  must  be  used  to  secure  the 
gain,  and  maintain  it.  On  the  other  hand, 
the  belief  of  the  best  dairymen  is  that  it 
is  impossible,  which  is  the  stand  taken  by 
the  experiment  stations,  and  investigators 
after  years  of  attempts  to  secure  such  a 
result.  The  scientists  claim  that  a  cow 
hqs  a  born  limit  for  percentage  of  fat, 
and  while  it  may  he  possible  to  increase 
it  slightly  for  a  few  days,  it  quickly  set¬ 
tles  buck  to  normal  and  there  remains. 
It  now  looks  as  if  there  could  be  an  in¬ 
crease  made  in  percentage  of  fat.  and 
maintained,  but  it  must  be  by  selection  in 
breeding,  and  development  of  the  milking 
functions  by  the  influence  of  feeding  be¬ 
fore  the  heifer  drops  her  first  calf.  I  am 
interested  in  a  series  of  experiments  a 
well  informed  dairyman  is  making,  and 
be  has  succeeded  in  four  or  five  genera¬ 
tions  in  raising  the  3  per  cent,  fat  of  the 
original  stock,  to  4  and  4.00  per  cent, 
for  year  averages  in  cows  that  have  more 
than  doubled  their  milk  yields  over  the 
amounts  of  the  foundation  stock. 
First  a  sire  was  obtained  that  had 
strong  dairy  inheritance  with  best  per¬ 
centages  of  fat;  then  these  calves,  both 
bulls  and  heifers,  were  fed  from  the  start 
milk  producing  foods  to  stimulate  milk 
secretion,  with  the  idea  that  it  would 
develop  tlje  fat  glands  to  secrete  more 
fills.  A  calf  was  fed  to  produce  growth, 
but  not  tallow  fat.  very  largely  a  variety 
of  protein  foods  and  bulky  ones  like 
clover  and  silage  to  give  bulk.  The  re¬ 
sult  was  noticeable  from  the  start,  and 
each  generation  lias  shown  an  improve¬ 
ment:  on  the  previous  one.  The  sires  were 
kept  within  the  family  so  to  concentrate

Problem  No.  2 — What  was  this  calf 
worth  when  a  day  old?  It  weighed  45 
pounds  and  gained  102  pounds  in  six 
weeks  on  three  quarts  of  its  mother’s 
whole  milk  twice  daily  for  just  six  weeks. 
This  milk  tests  .040  per  cwt.  Counting 
from  the  time  the  milk  was  good  (say 
the  ninth  milking)  the  calf  drank  228 
this  dairy  influence  until  now  these  cows, 
with  great  milk  records,  are  butter  fat 
champions  as  well.  The  bull  calves  of 
these  cows  tire  fed  as  are  the  heifers,  to 
see  if  dairy-food  feeding  of  the  sires  will 
not  have  its  effect  upon  the  milk  yield  and 
qualities.  It  now  looks  as  if  the  sire  is 
a  great  deal  more  than  half  of  the  herd, 
and  it  will  be  to  him  to  look  for  the  dairy 
bettering  of  our  herds  in  both  milk  and 
fat  yields.  j.  g.
