‘ YOUNG STOCK.’ 
We may look to our first page this 
week for something of what the Hope 
Farm man calls “the conquering spirit 
of youth.” This is a good way to begin 
the year, for the future is to be con¬ 
trolled by the young. The old man in 
the picture is happier and better off to 
have the colt about him. We are all 
better off to have children or young 
stock or young trees and shrubs growing 
about us. For this is one of the com¬ 
pensations of maturing years—and no¬ 
where else can it be so beautifully 
worked out as on a farm. 
As for the lower first page picture, 
the Michigan farm that carries this 
young stock is certainly blessed. The 
man holding the horse is uncle to all 
these lively boys and girls. You remem¬ 
ber what “The Child” said to Carl 
Schmitt: 
“Why, every good man is a father or 
an uncle, ain’t he?” 
We have great respect for the man 
who brings up a family of his own, but 
he probably misses much of the satisfac¬ 
tion of the “uncle” who takes children 
“for the sake of the child.” 
SILO OR GRINDER FOR CORN. 
With regard to the question of B. D., on 
page 1235, we should certainly say the 
silo, if he is feeding cows. We have never 
had the grinder, but have had about eight 
years’ experience with the silo, and have 
kept watch of other farmers’ methods of 
handling the silo. In the first place, not 
so much grain will need or have to be 
fed cattle eating plenty of good, well-made 
silage, and then we know some who plant 
Soy beans with corn and put in the silo. 
If this silage "is fed with Alfalfa, or even 
a good grade of clover, little or no grain 
would be necessary. In fact, we know 
some farmers who are doing just that way 
and get good results. At the price charged 
here for grinding; $150 would pay for 
grinding 903% tons of feed, so unless B. D. 
has a large amount of grain to be ground 
and fed, we think we would feed whole and 
with silage, and build a silo, unless, per¬ 
haps, enough custom grinding could be se¬ 
cured from the neighbors to make it pay. 
Fulton, N. Y. c. b. m’n. 
I notice on page 12S5 an inquiry in re¬ 
gard to “A Silo or Feed Grinder,” and will 
say that I have used a feed grinder for 12 
years. I have a dairy of 10 cows, keep 
six or eight hogs, three horses and about 
200 liens. I raise all the grain and rough- 
age for the above and grind all the grain 
used on the farm. About all I have to 
buy is beef scrap, oyster shells, charcoal, 
and during the year about a ton of wheat 
middlings. I raise 12 acres of corn, four 
acres of rye, four acres oats, two acres 
of wheat. I have a four-horsepower en¬ 
gine, a feed grinder, corn and cob cracker, 
corn shiver, fodder cutter, corn husker, 
wood saw small thrasher, emery wheel and 
grindstone, and a wood drag saw. My en¬ 
gine is installed in the barn and is sta¬ 
tionary, so arranged with counter shaft 
to connect with all the above machines. 
In regard to the poultry, I raise about 400 
chicks, save out the best pullets and fit 
the rest for broilers; which takes quite a 
lot of grain. My experience in feeding 
live stock has taught me that unless one 
can raise his own feed and put it in the 
best possible shape himself, there is very 
small margin for profit. In regard to feed 
for dairy cattle, my experience has proven 
that good, well-cured corn fodder and good 
mixed clover hay, with a ration of beets, 
with a mixture of grain ground as follows, 
Is the safest and he s' - all-round feed : Two 
bushels shelled corn. . bushels oats, one- 
half bushel wheat, is LJ e proportion that I 
use, and gives me the Dest results. My 
engine is the best help I ever had. I could 
not do without it, and I am quite sure 
that B. D. of Iowa will say the same if he 
gets a good engine and learns to use it 
properly. j. s. &. 
East Windsor, Conn. 
Bloody Milk. 
I have a cow that gives bloody milk from 
one teat; her udder is not swollen, and does 
not seem to have any fever in it. When 
1 first start to milk clots of pure blood 
come out and then bloody milk. Can you 
give mo a remedy for this? t. o. ai. 
Maryland. 
A ruptured blood vessel is a common 
cause of such trouble: or there may be a 
growth in the teat, or the udder may have 
been injured or affected with garget in 
one quarter. Bathe the affected quarter 
with cold water three times a day and 
at night with strong alum water. If 
she is not in calf give her a dram of dried 
sulphate of iron and two of salt in her 
feed night and morning until the milk be¬ 
comes normal. Iron is not safe for a 
pregnant cow. Better keep her in a well 
bedded box stall while under treatment 
and feed light, laxative rations. Do not 
stimulate milk flow by heavy feeding, so 
long as the milk contains blood, a. s. a. 
Pin Worms. 
One of our horses is badlv infested with 
worms; he passes a multitude of worms 
one and a half to two inches long, some¬ 
times one from 12 to 14 inches long. One 
veterinarian prescribed sulphate of iron, 
sulphur and gentian; another gave him 
iron and powdered dry pink-root, followed 
by aloes. Both cures were of no avail. 
Can you suggest a remedy? The horse is 
about nine years old, weighs about 1,400 
pounds; he is in good condition but looks 
rather dull. E _ c 
These worms live in the rectum and are 
not killed by drugs taken in the feed. In¬ 
ject into the rectum a gallon of soapy warm 
water containing a cupful of tobacco tea, 
made by steeping tobacco stems or leaves 
in boiling water. Repeat the injection two 
or three times a week until worms no 
longer are seen in the manure. As in¬ 
testinal worms usually are present when 
pin worms are seen, it is well, however, t4 
give internal treatment for their destruc¬ 
tion. A tablespoonful of a mixture of two 
parts of salt and one part each of sulphur 
and dried sulphate of iron may be mixed 
in the feed night and morning for a week; 
then skip 10 days, and repeat. Intestinal 
worms are killed b 3 r this medicine and. 
being digested, do not appear in the 
droppings. a. s. a. 
Colts or Fillies. 
On page 1210. A. S. A., replying to W. F. 
L., says “not colt, that means a male.” 
Webster says colt is either male or fe¬ 
male. there being horse colts and mare 
colts. Mare colts are called fillies. Ilorse 
colts are stallions or geldings. I have 
handled horses all my life, and never be¬ 
fore heard that colt indicated the sex anv 
more than pig, lamb or calf does. What do 
you say? j. M . 
New York. 
What our correspondent states as regards 
the dictionary is correct, but the distinc¬ 
tion we have suggested is now being made 
in expert judging of horses at Wisconsin 
University, and elsewhere. Some State fair 
catalogues used to make the mistake of 
classifying foals as “colt foals: either sex.” 
It is certainly much less confusing to call 
a male foal a “colt” and a female foal a 
“filly.” and we shall continue to advise 
that distinctive nomenclature. a. s. a.

CREAM SEPARATORS 
Many of them who formerly shipped their milk 
are now selling the cream and feeding the skimmed 
milk to the calves, pigs and chickens. 
The high price of veal, pork and poultry pays them well to do this—and 
they re making more money than ever before. 
They are successful, progressive men.
