THE KURAL NEW-YORKER 
1403 
This action will prevent the importation 
of several hundred head of Jersey cattle 
this year. How long the embargo will 
continue, of course, it is impossible for 
me to say. The Jersey breed in America 
is now so widely disseminated, and its 
numbers are so large, that I do not anti¬ 
cipate that this temporary stoppage of 
importation from the island will have any 
very serious effect upon the breed in this 
country. I think that in future some 
countries, especially Australia and New 
Zealand, will look to this country for 
their Jersey stock, not only on account of 
the United States being more accessible, 
but because the Jersey breed has been 
developed to a higher productive stan¬ 
dard here than on its native island.

The Brown Swiss. 
I N regard to what effect the European 
War is likely to have upon the Brown 
Swiss cattle, I do not see any reason 
for it affecting our cattle in any way at 
the present time as we have not been 
able to import any cattle during the 
last five or six years. The thing that 
seems more likely to trouble us is trouble 
at home, with the foot and mouth dis¬ 
ease. IK A INMAN.

Outlook for Guernseys. 
A S to whether or not the European War 
is likely to interfere with the Guern¬ 
seys I am somewhat at a loss to 
make any statement. It has of course 
materially lessened the number that will 
be imported. I sincerely hope that noth¬ 
ing will happen that will affect the Is¬ 
land of Guernsey. Aside ti.,m that we 
have in this country now a very line rep¬ 
resentation of the best of the Island, and 
English strains. I judge that from the 
standpoint of breeding we would not be 
materially affected. I think that we have 
enough to perpetuate the best strains in 
this country. The war will have noth¬ 
ing of the effect that this unfortunate 
widespread, area of infection from foot- 
and-mouth disease will. At the present 
time all movement of cattle from the At¬ 
lantic to Iowa is restricted. The magni¬ 
ficent and valuable cattle which were ex¬ 
hibited at the National Dairy Show, 
which included the very best of all the 
breeds, some animals which it had taken 
years of careful and intelligent breed¬ 
ing to produce, are now under quaran¬ 
tine. It is to be hoped that nothing will 
happen to them, as their loss would mean 
an irreparable one to the future of the 
improved dairy stock husbandry.

Care of One Cow. 
W E expect to start keeping a cow. for j 
the first time, about November 1; 
we have a suitable place for hous¬ 
ing her. but our land is somewhat lim¬ 
ited. How closely confined to the stable 
could we expect to keep her? I expect 
she will freshen about April 1, or possi¬ 
bly a little earlier. We have about 100 
square rods of land, beside a small vege¬ 
table garden, about evenly divided, one J 
half grass land, rather poor seeding, bal¬ 
ance been used for garden. The 100- 
rod lot is rented for one year, from No¬ 
vember 1. I am plowing up the plot 
used for garden and sowing Winter rye 
(Oct. 8) to be plowed under. What 
can we plant on the 50 rods in the 
Spring that will give the largest returns, 
in connection with the pasturing of the 
other 50 rods. We desire, if possible, 
to support the cow on the 100-rod lot to¬ 
gether with such stuff as we may have 
from the vegetable garden of about 80 
rods. Would it be policy to pasture the 
rye this Winter? What do you know of 
the Bod Polled cows? She is a natural 
mulley, rather large and dark red. 
Plymouth, Mass. w. l. ir. 
We should give this cow a roomy box ■ 
stall, say 10 or 12 feet square, and not 
tie her. Keep her well bedded and give 
plenty of fresh air. On warm, bright 
days of Winter let her out in that pas¬ 
ture. We would not pasture the rye 
this Winter, but let the cow have it in 
Spring. We should divide the 50 rods 
into three parts. On one part seed oats 
and Canada peas early in the Spring. 
On another third sow fodder corn thick¬ 
ly in the drill—on the other third man¬ 
gels or carrots. As the oats and peas 
are fed off sow more fodder corn, and 
as the corn is cut seed barley and rye, 
half and half. The Red Polls are good 
cattle—a combination of beef and dairy. 
For a family cow we find equal parts 
eornmeal and wheat brau with a handful 
of oil meal at a feed very satisfactory. 
Purdue Calf Meal. 
W E have all heard of the Cornell lay¬ 
ing-house, and the latest is the Pur¬ 
due “calf meal.” Indiana must have 
more cows, and raise more calves. The 
Iloosier people sell enormous quantities 
of whole milk, and it has been considered 
expensive to raise heifer calves. Mr. 
Lawrence, of the Extension Department, 
says: "We developed the meal for the 
dairyman selling milk to the comlensery. 
or retailing his product. If he has skim- 
milk we advise him to feed it. if he can 
get 35 or 40 cents for his skim-milk, we 
advise the calf meal.” One pound each 
hominy, red dog flour, linseed meal and 
blood meal; if red dog flour is not acces¬ 
sible use wheat middlings. The oil meal 
should be old process. This meal takes 
the place of skim-milk. Do not make the 
change to skim-milk suddenly, feed whole 
milk until the calf is a week old. The 
change from milk to the substitute must 
be gradual. It should be spread over a 
period of five or six weeks, starting with 
but au ounce, for the day. diluting with 
seven times this w ight in water. The 
feed may be increased to three ounces for 
several days, and th< a to five ounces until 
at the end of 80 days the calf is receiving 
two pounds of calf meal, and the milk is 
entirely eliminated. It is figured that in 
mixing seven pounds of water to one of 
the meal this is equ: 1 to the same quan¬ 
tity of skim-milk. With the calf meal is 
fed ground corn and oats as soon as the 
calf will oat the mixture dry. Corn sil¬ 
age and Alfalfa or clover hay should be 
supplied the calves. 
Possibilities in Pork. 
U'THTERE never was such a chance af- 
X forded our bright men as today 
in the raising of hogs. They can 
make more money raising hogs than in 
any other line of farming. Of course, 
this means that the young men must give 
to the raising of hogs the same careful 
attention as in any other line of busi¬ 
ness.” 
This advice is credited to E. T. Cash 
and it is sensible. In most Eastern 
States near towns or villages there i3 
fair profit to be made at selling little 
pigs for others to raise. In many cases 
there is more in this business than in 
trying to raise pork. 
“ Pixey’’ Cattle. 
W ILL you ask your readers if there 
is a breed of cattle known as 
“Pixey?” I have just bought a 
young cow and was told she was half- 
bred Jersey and Pixey. What, if any, 
are the markings? A. h. a. 
New York. 
We ask the question herewith. Nev¬ 
er heard of the “Pixeys” ourselves. It 
is probably a local name for some family 
of native or grade cattle. If there is 
anything to it some of our readers will 
know.
