February 12, 
A GOOD HOLSTEIN COW. 
The picture below shows the young 
cow, Ginseng Linden Dawning Pearl 
75360, which we think deserves due con¬ 
sideration as a typical representative of 
the breed. The picture shows her in her 
four-year-old form. Besides possessing 
beauty of form and richness of breeding, 
being backed up by some of the very 
best families of the breed, she is a very 
deep and heavy milker. We consider 
her fully capable of making from 23 to 
26 pounds of butter in seven days under 
BREEDING PURE STOCK. 
How many years will it take to get pure¬ 
bred chickens from half-bred females and a 
purebred male? How many days do you 
have lo keep male and female together be¬ 
fore the eggs are tit to set? l. v. l. 
Laurel, Del. 
I do not know just how long it takes to 
call them pure, but the second year they 
would be three-quarters, and the third 
year seven-eighths and so on. I would 
much prefer to get a few hens that were 
pure, and only breed from them, as 
otherwise there would be constantly

favorable conditions. She is a very per¬ 
sistent milker, her last milking period 
extending up to a few days before fresh¬ 
ening, in fact it was with difficulty that 
we were able to have her dry at all. She 
not only possesses beauty and utility, 
but has been pronounced by experts as 
having the points that indicate her su¬ 
periority as a high-class dairy animal.

more or less reverting back to their 
maternal parents even when you think 
they are fixed or purebred. We 
generally consider two weeks the right 
period, although we always mate up as 
we get time, often a month or two before 
we want the eggs, and I think that 
the different breeds would change the 
period of time needed. f. q. white.

A SUCCESSION OF COW FEED. 
This Spring, about 1st of April, I intend 
lo begin in the fruit business, and I am 
going to keep a cow. There is no grass on 
my place. What plan shall I. pursue to ob¬ 
tain forage and roughage for my cow during 
tiie Summer and the following Winter? 
There are no fences, and I must keep the 
cow in the stable. What rotation shall I 
use to get feed as early as possible, so that I 
shall have feed during the entire Summer? 
About how large an area will it require for 
one cow? I see reference made in the 
It. N.-Y. to oats and pea hay. I would like 
to know when I shall seed them, how much 
of each to the acre, and about when to 
cut and how to cure the hay? tv. w. B. 
I’axtonville, Pa. 
We advise you to use oats and peas, 
fodder corn, Japanese millet and barley 
and peas, with a small piece of ground 
in mangels. As soon as the 'soil can be 
worked seed about half an acre to oats 
and peas; scatter three pecks of Canada 
field peas over the ground and turn 
them under with a small plow or disk 
harrow, four inches deep. Then seed 
in the furrows two bushels of oats and 
work them in with a harrow. You will 
of course, use manure or fertilizer on 
such land. The oats and peas will grow 
up together. When two feet high you 
can begin to cut them for green feed. 
When the little peas are forming in the 
pods cut the crop and cure like clover 
hay. As you cut off the oats and peas 
fit the ground and sow Japanese millet 
for a second crop. At corn planting 
time sow corn fodder on another half 
acre or more. Make drills three feet 
apart and sow three pecks of corn 
thickly in these drills, covering about 
as you would peas. Cultivate the corn 
thoroughly and begin cutting for green 
feed about when it comes in tassel. As 
you cut a row or two work up the ground 
and sow a mixture of Canada peas and 
barley. As you cut the Japanese millet 
which follows the oats and peas work 
up the land and sow barley and peas. 
This crop will grow late into the Fall. 
Cut what you need green of all these 
crops and before the seeds form hard 
cut what is left and cure as hay. Feed 
the land well and give good culture and 
the acre ought to provide cow feed— 
with wastes from the garden. 
In a primary school the other day the 
head master presented a problem for the 
scholars that would require the use of 
fractions. He expected the answer, “I 
don’t know.” The problem: "If I had 
eight potatoes, how could I divide them 
among nine boys?” One bright looking 
youngster raised his hand. “Well?” said 
the master. “Mash them,” promptly re¬ 
plied the young mathematician.—Mel¬

Y OU are doing a vast amount of useless work and losing a big lot of 
money if you are skimming milk “the same old way" your grand¬ 
parents did. 
Better turn over a new leaf and try the I. H. C. Cream Harvester way. 
That means you’ll gdt all the cream—and you can’t do that by hand- 
skimming. Every morning and evening you are feeding good cream or 
butter-fat to your calves. That butter-fat is worth 25 cents a pound and 
upwards. Can you afford such high-priced feed for the calves, pigs and 
chickens when skim-milk and corn meal will do just as well? 
You can find hardly a trace of cream in milk separated with an I. H. C. Cream Harvester, 
which separates to a ten-thousandth part. And that’s not half of the story. 
Four or More Cows Make a Cream Harvester Pay. 
It will pay because it practically cuts in two the work of keeping cows. It does away with 
washing numerous pans, crocks and strainers. You skim right at milking-time and have done 
with it all. You have only pure cream instead of a wagonload of whole milk to haul to the 
creamery. You have fresh, warm, sweet milk—that has life in it—for the calves. You can keep 
more cows and greatly increase your profits without any increase in labor. 
You are not keeping cows for the fun of it; but for the money you can make out of them. 
The I. H. C. way is the money-making, labor-saving way. There are two I H. C. machines— 
the Bluebell and the Dairymaid—each made in four sizes. Both are easy to turn and easy to clean.
