ward at an angle of 45 degrees. I nail a 
2x4 the width of the stall and four feet 
above the bottom of the rack to nail the 
boards to, at the top of the rack. The 
boards should be about six inches apart. 
I then lead the cow in and up to the 
rack just in position to eat, and put a 
2x4 edgewise just in front of the hind 
feet. This compels the cow to get in 
front of it to lie down. She won’t lie 
dotvn across the 2x4 many times before 
she will learn to get in front of it ; the 
opening under the rack makes it possi¬ 
ble for her to get ahead far enough to 
lie down ahead of it. If it be fixed just 
right, the cow will be as clean as though 
she ran in a clover pasture. The advan¬ 
tage over a gutter and stanchion, is the 
adjusting to fit a big cow or a small one, 
and it’s much more comfortable for the 
cow, as she can be tied with anything 
one wishes. j. h.

Veai, or “Deacon”?—A reader in 
New York State sends the following 
problem : 
This morning’, one of my cows gave birth to a 
three-legged calf, one fore leg being missing, and 
seems to have no shoulder blade. It is a nice, 
strong calf. Would you veal it, raise it as a freak 
of Nature, or deacon it? 
The question is, What would you do 
with such a monstrosity ?

Average per cow 7,050 pounds. Average butter 
fat of herd 5.2 per cent. 
This would make an average of 431 
pounds of butter per cow. The milk of 
No. 1 tests five per cent of butter fat, 
which woul^ make her yield of butter 
655 pounds. Several others started in 
the race, but for one cause or another, 
were distanced aud sent to the slaughter.

The grain ration, summer and winter, 
averages per cow four pounds of linseed 
meal, eight pounds corn meal. In sum¬ 
mer when feed was short, I gave six to 
ten pounds of bran in addition. The 
winter feed is 40 pounds of well-eared 
ensilage and six pounds of hay. 
Bristol, Conn. s. D. n. 
Roots Save Grain.— Much is said late¬ 
ly about feeding cows in winter. I have 
grown sugar beets and all root crops for 
20 years, to feed in winter. The only 
way I make out a balanced ration is to 
feed my cows what they like and will 
eat the most of. There has never been 
a spring yet but I have wished that I 
had planted more roots. It has been 
said that cows must have some grain ; 
but I have a cow six years old, in milk 
m winter, from which we can make four 
pounds of butter a day, on good hay and 
all the roots I can afford to feed, which 
is not more than a bushel a day. I have 
Republican Nat. Convention at St. Louis in June 
“ The Big Four Route ” which is the Western con¬ 
nection of the New York Central, Boston & Albany 
and Lake Shore Railroads, is the through line to St. 
Louis from all Eastern cities. The “ Southwestern 
Limited ” is a solid train from New York. Boston, and 
Buffalo dally, with through Wagner Sleeping Cars 
from these cities to St. Louis. Elegant Dining Car 
service is provided throughout and the equipment is 
unexcelled. For full particulars write C. S. Black¬ 
man, General Eastern Agent, 40 Exchange Street 
Buffalo, N Y.—Ad® 
also a cow coming three years this 
spring, which calved last May, and is 
not due till next August, which will 
make 1 M pound of butter a day at pres¬ 
ent, with no feed but good hay and 
roots. The roots are sugar beets and 
mangels and some rutabagas, all mixed, 
just as it happens. 
On each side of me are farmers who 
keep from 20 to 30 cows, which are 
grained all winter long, and the feed is 
bought. They tell me that it takes half 
of the next summer to pay the feed bill. 
They sometimes come to look at my crop 
of roots, and say that it is too much 
trouble to grow them. I can grow 300 
bushels on one-quarter of an acre; it 
may cost me $5 to grow that many, and 
then I have them. But some one may 
say that I cannot keep my cows in that 
way. I simply point to my cows, and 
let them speak for themselves ; they are 
always sleek and strong and ready for a 
frolic. I would not change if I could get 
the grain for nothing, that is, to drop 
the roots altogether. Perhaps, if I 
wanted to crowd my cows for all they 
were worth, I might add some feed ; but 
my system suits me well enough. A 
man should learn something by what he 
sees among his neighbors.
