Heifer With Wooden Leg. 
This heifer was found in the pasture 
with her right foreleg broken below the 
knee. The leg was first set by a veter¬ 
inary surgeon, but it did not knit prop¬ 
erly. The heifer was then etherized, the 
bone amputated, leaving enough below 
the knee to be fitted into a leather 
socket. Iron splints were attached, the 
lower ends of which were fitted into a 
wooden peg having an iron shoe at the

end. This operation was a success, and 
the animal is now able to walk about 
as well as usual. w. o. G.

Practical Dairying Advice. 
Pasture is the most expensive way to 
keen a cow. This is the opinion of a 
prominent Ohio dairyman. He states 
that pasture is only at its best six weeks 
out of the year. On the other hand an 
acre of good silage should keep a cow 
500 days. It would require three acres 
of pasture, and many farmers are using 
more for each cow. Two to three acres 
of exceptionally good pasture are re¬ 
quired for each cow, and if that two 
acres were placed in a silo, it would not 
only provide succulent feed for a few 
weeks, but would supply the cow with 
good succulent feed upwards of three or 
four years. “There are many farms,” 
he said, “with an acreage of hilly or 
wooded ground which affords pasture, but 
there are thousands of farms in Ohio and 
many other States which have open pas¬ 
tures, free from stumps and stones, which 
would pay the farmer dollars and cents 
to tear away the old fence rows, build 
new fences and put this acreage into 
silage.” 
“It don’t pay to jump from one breed 
to another, or to try to cross breeds,” 
is the opinion of a prominent corn belt 
farmer. “I have paid dearly for my 
rattling around in a box as far as breed¬ 
ing is concerned. Stick to your breed, 
and if you think that you are going to 
get what you want by cross-breeding, 
have your mind made up to live two 
centuries to win out.” 
A sow may be in the scrub class as 
well as a cow, and neither should be 
tolerated, is the opinion of one success¬ 
ful brooder. lie figured from the dollar 
and cents point of view on three sows. 
Strange to say the sow that produced 
the largest number of pigs produced those 
which made the greatest gains during the 
six months, and the sow producing the 
smallest number, also produced the pigs 
which made the poorest showing at the 
end of six months. 11 is first sow pro¬ 
duced eight pigs, his second seven and 
his third sow six, same sire used. Each 
of the second sow’s pigs returned him 
$1.81 less than the first sow’s pigs. Each 
of the poorest sow’s pigs returned $3.09 
less than the first sow’s average pig. lie 
sat down and figured further. Why not 
have all sows measure up to the best one 
on the farm? lie found he was out of 
pocket on the third sow a little over $25, 
and on the second sow a little over $37, 
compared with the best. He says the 
best is not too good, and why not put in 
a good sow in place of the "charity 
patient” which will clip the year’s 
balance from $20 to $40? “Swat the 
scrub sow.” w. J. 
Many farmers utilize their clover fields 
for hog pasture early and later in the sea¬ 
son, but in the middle of the Summer 
there is a time when hogs are short of 
pasture. Mr. Nicodemus of Van Wert 
County, Ohio, in his institute work ad¬ 
vises the following: Sow half bushel each 
of rye and barley, then sow about four 
pounds of Essex rape to the acre. This 
should be started early in the Spring, and 
the pasture will care for 20 to 30 Spring 
pigs to the acre nicely. The pigs will 
not wallow nor tramp it down, but will 
make paths through the pasture. About 
the time the oats come in head is the 
proper time to turn in on the pasture. 
Site was a little girl and very polite. 
It was the first time she had been on a 
visit alone, and she had been carefully 
instructed how to behave. “If they ask 
you to dine with them,” papa had said, 
“you must say. ‘No, thank you; I have 
already dined.’ ” It turned out just as 
papa had anticipated. “Come along, 
Marjorie,” said her little friend’s father, 
“you must have a bite with us.” “No, 
thank you,” said the little girl, with 
dignity; “I have already bitten.”—Tit-

Holstein owned by the Kansas Agricultural

of 19,600 pounds of milk and 835 pounds of 
butter in a year’s time, dairymen prophesied
