BRIEF DAIRY NOTES. 
We brought home the last load of apple 
pomace November 1, and are sorry the 
season has ended, as apples were not 
plentiful, and we only had about six 
weeks’ feeding of it, but it has helped out 
much, and the silage will last so much 
longer. We pay 50 cents per load for all 
two horses can draw up our hills, going 
a mile for it, a-nd a load weighing 3,300 to 
3,600 makes two good feeds for 60- cows; 
We opened one silo November 15 that 
was filled mostly with rather dry mature 
sweet corn. It was so dry we put an inch 
hose on after filling, and let it run several 
hours. We overdid the wetting on top, 
and found over a foot spoiled where there 
ought not to have been over four to six 
inches. Under this was fine, but a little 
less water would have been better. 
We had a 50-pound sample bag of a new 
calf feed sent to us to be used with skim- 
milk, either in the milk or fed dry. We 
do not like to mix the feed with milk, 
preferring to feed dry. We tried this 
feed, which by the way retails at about 
$3 per 100, with six different calves, and 
couldn’t get one to cat it. Suffice to say 
that we shall keep on feeding bran and 
mixed feed at $1 per 100, which the calves 
e-njoy, and which we know is good for 
them. 
Hides are away up, and when green un¬ 
tanned ones bring more per pound than 
the beef hind quarters it doesn’t pay to 
fool away even bologna cows. We butch-^ 
ered last week a two-year-old Jersey heif¬ 
er, that seemed to think making milk not 
i-n her line; the best offer we could get 
for her was $18; sold by the quarter at 
five cents and seven cents and nine cents 
for hide, this came to $27.50, which paid 
well for the butchering, and will help 
mightily toward paying for a good cow to 
take her place. Another of the same class 
butchered comes to ovct $30. and these are 
the small runts that people complain about 
as not being worth anything when you 
are through milking them. ix. g. m. 
A YOUNG HOLSTEIN BULL 
Korndyke Butter Boy, see Fig. 429, is 
owned and bred by Henry Stevens & Son, 
Lacona, N. Y. He was first prize bull 
calf at the New York State Fair this year, 
and also champion bull under two years 
old at the same fair. He is an animal of 
high individual merit, and shows much 
constitution and vitality, which is one of 
the characteristics of the Korndyke fam¬ 
ily. 11 is dam, Korndyke Queen De Kol, 
has official records of 24 pounds 6.7 ounces 
butter in seven days, 98 pounds 5.6 ounces 
butter in 30 days, and over 437 pounds in 
six months. She is the only cow ever offi¬ 
cially tested for six months. Her dam, 
Belle Korndyke. has an official seven-day 
butter record of 25 pounds 12.3 ounces, 
and four daughters, with official records 
(two as four-year-olds) that average 21.77 
pounds butter in seven days. Her record, 
combined with theirs, gives an average 
for the five of 22.57 pounds, a showing 
that is not equaled in official test by any 
other cow and her daughters. De Kol 
2d's Butter Boy 3d, the sire of Korndyke 
Butter Boy, has 40 daughters in the official 
list, seven have records of over 20 pounds 
butter in seven days. Messrs. Stevens & 
Son have decided to retain this bull in 
their own herd, as he combines the blood 
in a strong degree, of what they believe to 
be the two greatest families of tile breed, 
the De Kol aild Koriidyke. 
IN A MASSACHUSETTS DAIRY. 
As a rule the simple method is the 
better one. As to feeding silage, for most 
the basket method is well. There may be 
instances where it is fed upon a large 
scale and stock so arranged that distance 
to be traveled is a large factor, in which 
case a carrier may well come into play ; 
My fafming—stock feeding and stock 
growing—has covered many years, and 
the growth of the barn has been by piece¬ 
meal. At first it accommodated three cows, 
one horse and a pair of oxen. Now the 
various apartments cover Pearly 60,cows, 
about 20 young cattle and 12 horses. 
Cattle that ate fed silage ate in seven 
strings, and so arranged as to be easy of 
access. We have one silo 14 feet square 
by 30 in depth. If we could find a place 
on the farm for a second one would like 
to have it, for by January 1 we shall have 
fed enough shock corn to fill a second 
large one. The corn now being fed was 
put into large shocks when about right 
stage for the silo, and that will last so 
far into Winter that the silage will reach 
green rye in the Spring. We do not count 
much upon pasture, but give green feed 
of rye, wheat and vetch, Crimson clover, 
peas and oats, barnyard millet, corn, 
beans, cow peas—and latest barley. If I 
had abundance of good pasture I would 
like it. as much labor is saved; still we 
get along quite well, as we have many 
modern implements and machines to save 
labor; besides, our fields are now clear of 
rocks and stone fences. More than 6,000 
tons have gone into macadam roads, and 
nearly half as many more put out of the 
way in various places. .No road fences or 
hedgerows to bother, and one field of 20 
acres about one-half mile in length and 
another just 160 rods long by 32 in width, 
so you can see that a rod in width counts 
an acre. Where rocks are out of the way 
and there is little turning a man with 
three horses abreast can do quite a job 
of work in a day. Grass is cut with long- 
cut mowers, raked with side-delivery rake, 
put on with hay loaders, and put off by 
horse power. Corn is cut and bound with 
harvester, so that most of the labor is 
done by horse power. Water is pumped 
both by wind and steam, and sent into the 
barn warm to about 100 degrees from No¬ 
vember to May. g. w. h.

Streaks in Butter. —E. S. L., Madison. 
Tnd., on page 875, asks the cause of streaks 
in butter. T think if he will examine his 
churn he will find iron in connection with 
his cream while churning: nails in the dash, 
iron dust from journals, or possibly dirt may 
have got into the cream. Anyone of these 
things would cause streaks in the butler. 
Clean salt could not stain butter.

More Than Clean Skimming 
Of course you want that. But you want something 
fnore. Separating cream is an every day, twice a day 
job. You want a handy machine. Do you know that 
the boasted clean skimming of many separators is at¬ 
tained at the expense of convenience? That's all 
changed in the new t 
PAPEC SEPARATOR. 
Built on a new plan. Its seven gallon reservoir only 
36 inches high. A child can fill it and a child can turn 
it. So simple it’s almost impossible for it to get out of 
order. You’ll take new interest in dairying and make 
better profits if you buy the right separator. It’s to 
your interest to investigate the Papec. Let us send

refuse. There are secret difficulties about other bowls the makers want to hide. Pictures

IMPORTANT FACTS 
FOR C OW OW NERS 
The mechanical Cream Separator has become a 
vital feature of every home dairy just as of every 
butter factory. 
Its use means much more and much better 
cream and butter, as well as saving of water, ice, 
time and room' 
The difference in results is not small but big. 
Few cows now pay without a separator. Dairying 
is the most profitable kind of farming with ono. 
98% of the creamery butter of the world is 
now made with DE LAVAL machines and 
there are over 600,000 farm users besides.

End 
\Oi 
is the Investment end. 
If the food makes it9 
proper amount of flesh, 
then the cost is well in¬ 
vested. If a large part of the food is 
wasted through poor digestion or non¬ 
assimilation, then feeding becomes an 
expense rather than an investment.
