other  in  the  open  if  they  wanted  to  get 
the  goods  and  the  farmer  had  the  option 
to  refuse  to  sell  should  prices  not  reach 
expectations.  A  commission  was  charged 
for  all  goods  auctioned  and  auction  com¬ 
pany  guaranteed  ail  sales. 
By  paying  a  fee  ot  25  cents  per  cow  or 
steer  the  auction  company  insured  the 
stock  against  loss  to  the  tanner  through 
disease,  otherwise  any  loss  occasioned  by 
disease  had  to  be  borne  equally  by  the 
seller,  buyer  and  auction  company.  Grain 
dealers  and  potato  merchants  always  at¬ 
tended  those  sales,  and  the  farmers  could 
get  best  prices  going.  Result,  was  that  it 
was  hardly  possible  to  buy  privately  from 
the  farmers,  unless  in  very  remote  dis¬ 
tricts,  I  see  nothing  to  prevent  some¬ 
thing  of  like  system  to  be  used  in  this 
countrj',  only  in  dairy  districts  possibly  a 
monthly  market  would  be  sufficient.

Homemade  Butter-worker 
The  little  device  shown  at  Fig.  579 
is  used  by  E.  C.  Oswood  of  Maryland. 
It  is  a  homemade  butter-worker  for 
handling  the  product  from  one  cow.  It 
Handy  Homemade  Butter  Worker  Fig.  579 
is  so  simple  that  the  picture  practically 
explains  it.  The  dimensions  of  the 
board  are  16x18  inches,  one  inch  thick, 
the  end  pieces  are  six  inches  wide  at 
back  and  three  inches  at  front,  the  end 
piece  projecting  one-half  inch  above  the 
table.  Of  course  in  working  this  device 
the  butter  is  placed  on  the  board  and 
the  handle  worked  up  and  down  over 
the  butter,  gently  pressing  the  moisture 
out. 
The  Young  Cow  Mother 
I  have  a  registered  Jersey  heifer  two 
years  old,  due  to  calve  Dec.  25.  I  wish 
to  give  her  as  good  a  chance  as  possible 
to  make  good — she  is  still  in  pasture. 
Owing  to  the  extreme  weather  condi¬ 
tions  here  last  Summer  my  hay  is  of 
poor  quality.  Much  of  it  overripe  and 
nearly  all  damaged  by  rain.  Would  it  be 
advisable  to  feed  grain  hefore  she  has.  her 
calf?  If  so,  wh..t  would  be  a  good  mix¬ 
ture  for  her,  and  how  much  should  I 
feed?  She  is  in  very  good  flesh  now. 
New  Jersey.  j,  w. 
I  would  say,  if  the  hay  is  not  musty  it 
will  be  all  right  to  feed  to  the  heifer ; 
would  not  feed  grain  until  a  little  while 
after  she  has  calved.  Theu  feed  dried 
brewers’  grains,  after  they  have  been 
soaked  some  hours,  and  a  little  eornmeal 
With  it.  CHARLES  Y.  FOSTER, 
New  Jersey. 
Our  method  of  handling  such  heifers  is 
to  place  them  with  the  milking  herd  at 
least  two  months  before  freshening ;  bring 
them  to  the  barn  each  day  with  the  herd 
and  place  them  where  they  are  to  calve. 
We  have  box  stalls  in  cow  barn.  Bogin 
by  feeding  a  light  ration  working  up  to 
full  feed  iu  two  weeks.  Continue  this 
up  to  time  of  calving.  We  feed  a  mix¬ 
ture  made  up  as  follows:  400  lbs.  corn 
and  cob  meal,  200  lbs.  ground  oats.  200 
lbs.  ground  barley,  400  lbs.  dried  corn  dis¬ 
tillers’  grains,  o2  per  cent. :  100  lbs.  bran 
and  25  lbs.  oil  meal,  of  which  we  feed 
about  eight  pounds  a  day  as  a  full  ra¬ 
tion.  Continue  this  up  to  freshening, 
then  bran  with  a  little  nil  meal  for  a  few 
days,  gradually  shifting  back  to  the  mix¬ 
ture,  increasing  about  a  half  pound  every 
two  days,  so  long  as  the  heifer  responds  to 
the  increase,  then  drop  off  a  pound  from 
this  feed  to  be  on  the  safe  side.  You  will 
then  find  you  are  feeding  about  one  pound 
of  grain  for  every  pounds  of  milk  if 
the  heifer  does  ns  she  should.  Heifers  thus- 
fed  will  develop  more  udder  and  milk  bet¬ 
ter  than  those  not  fed  in  this  way.  Don't 
be  afraid  if  your  heifer  has  a  pretty  big 
and  hard  udder  for  a  week  after  calving 
and  gives  little  milk ;  this  will  come 
around  all  right,  and  she  will  do  better 
than  if  she  did  not  have  it.  Be  patient 
with  her  at  this  time;  massage  the  udder 
gently  and  milk  carefully,  and  your 
heifer  will  respond  in  a  way  that  will 
please  you.  evan  w.  mosheb.

A  heifer  due  to  calve  Dec.  25  should  be 
taken  in  from  pasture  at  once  and  put  on 
a  good  grain  ration  along  with  dry  rough- 
age.  A  good  many  people  make  the  mis¬ 
take  of  underfeeding  at  this  time  just

New  York. 
For  a  month  or  six  weeks,  and  some¬ 
times  two  months,  previous  to  freshen¬ 
ing  we  feed  heifers  a  liberal  quantity  of 
ground  oats  and  bran,  and  also  all  the 
good  clover  hay  that  they  waut.  Then 
just  before  freshening  (say  a  week  or 
10  days,  possibly  not  more,  than  a  week) 
we  feed  one  quart  of  bran  in  a  pail  of 
warm  water,  and  at  this  time  we  elimin¬ 
ate  nil  other  grain.  This  should  prepare 
the  heifer  for  freshening  and  keep  her  in 
ideal  condition.  It-  is  also  best  to  keep 
the  heifer  in  a  box  stall  for  the  last 
week  or  ten  days,  not  neglecting  to  see 
that  she  gets  out  of  door  exercise  for  a 
few  hours  every  day  and  a  hove  all  things 
to  have  the  stall  thoroughly  clean  and 
well  bedded.  Would  also  suggest  that 
these  box  stalls  should  always  be  white¬ 
washed  and  the  floor  disinfected  before 
the  heifer  is  put  in  before  she  calves, 
and  just  before  freshening  she  should  be 
provided  with  a  good  blanket  and  kept 
in  good  warm  condition.

I  would  feed  the  heifer  grain  before 
calving,  as  there  is  no  time  in  a  heifer’s 
life  that  she  has  more  need  of  grain  feed 
than  when  making  up  to  freshen  with 
first  calf,  as  she  has  not  only  to  grow 
her  Calf,  but  she  herself  has  not  ceased 
growing  and  consequently  has  to  make 
muscle,  bone  and  fat  for  herself  as  well, 
and  the  added  muscle  and  hone  that  she 
has  to  build  up  is  a  burden  that  a  ma¬ 
ture  cow  does  not  have  to  carry.  In 
these  enlightened  days  nearly  every  good 
dairyman  has  come  to  realize  that  a  cow 
heavy  with  ealf,  needs  a  grain  ration  in 
order  that  si’  *■  may  do  justice  to  herself, 
to  say  nothing  of  her  ealf,  when  she 
comes  to  freshen,  but  many  have  not 
stopped  to  think  how  much  greater  is 
the  heifer’s  need,  and  as  a  consequence 
there  are  a  very  large  number  of  heifers 
freshening  every  week  that  have  not  had 
a  “square  show.” 
A  most  excellent  grain  ration  for  heif¬ 
ers  and  cow's  heavy  with  ealf  consists  of 
equal  parts  by  weight  of  bran,  eornmeal, 
ground  oats  and  oil  meal.  I  would  ad¬ 
vise  your  inquirer,  if  he  has  not  already 
done  so,  to  take  his  heifer  up  from  pas¬ 
ture  at  once,  and  place  her  in  a  good 
warm  comfortable  stable,  and  feed  her 
two  pounds  of  the  above  grain  mixture 
each  feed  morning  and  night.  If  he  has 
silage  I  would  feed  her  about  15  pounds 
of  same  morning  and  night  with  the 
grain  mixture  fed  on  the  silage;  iu  ad¬ 
dition  I  would  feed  her  all  the  hay  she 
would  eat  up  clean  twice  a  day.  onre  in 
the  forenoon  and  once  in  the  afternoon. 
If  he  has  no  silage  1  would  feed  her  all 
the  hay  she  would  clean  up  three  times 
each  day,  morning,  noon  and  night.  If 
he  has  no  silage  it  would  pay  him  to  pur¬ 
chase  some  dried  beet  pulp  and  feed  her 
three  pounds  of  this  morning  and  night 
with  her  grail).  The  beet  pulp  should  he 
of  course  well  soaked  up  with  water  be¬ 
fore  feeding.  The  morning  feed  should 
be  put  soaking  the  night  before,  and  wlieu 
that  is  fed  in  the  morning  put  another 
batch  soaking  ready  for  the  night  feed. 
If  inquirer  has  silage  his  heifer  will 
need  watering  but  once  a  day,  preferably 
after  dinner,  when  if  the  day  is  pleasant
