Feeding a Bull Terrier. 
Will you advise me how to feed a 
young bull terrier properly? He weighs 
about 35 pounds. What to feed, how 
much and how often? mrs. b. c. 
Hempstead, N. Y. 
Young dogs should be fed milk and 
bread, the latter home-made, dog biscuit 
or cooked oatmeal, with occasionally 
bones to gnaw, but little meat. Food 
should be given three times a day in 
amounts that will readily be cleaned up. 
Older dogs should be fed twice a day 
with bread and meat In about equal 
quantities, with milk, if obtainable. 
Bones and waste meat from the table 
may be given when convenient. There 
is no set rule for feeding dogs. These 
are the principles which may be varied 
to suit conditions. w. H. H. 
The Old English Sheep Dog. 
E. K. Dunne, on page 1276, desires 
some information concerning the old 
English sheep (not shepherd) dog. In 
the first, place I would point out that 
the old English sheep dog and the Scotch 
collie, though both used for the same 
purpose, viz. sheep hording, are two very 
distinct breeds, differing from each other 
in appearance almost as much as, say, a 
British bulldog and an Italian grey¬ 
hound. The pups purchased by Mr. 
Dunne were, he says, kennel dogs. From 
this I presume the parents were inmates 
of some breeding establishment, and, as 
such, probably never did any practical 
work. However, the pups have the 
sheep herding instinct, but it will not 
develop of itself in the right direction. A 
course of training is necessary, and this 
should have been begun at quite an early 
age. British shepherds lead their pups, 
while working among the sheep, so that 
the youngsters can watch the older dogs 
and see how things are done. The dog’s 
education does not, of course, consist in 
merely observing the work of his elders, 
but the process is long, intricate and 
often tiresome, and nothing could be 
learned from a written description as to 
“how to do it.” 
I hardly think that attacking stock at 
the heels is a characteristic peculiar to 
the old English sheep dog; in any 
case it is not a desirable trait in a dog 
used for herding stock, and in the old 
country a dog which started that trick 
would receive a severe licking. I ought 
to say my experience with stock dogs is 
confined to the herding of sheep. 
Maine. c. g. freer. 
In regard to E. K. D.’s article on 
page 176 as to “cow dogs,” a few years 
ago we had exactly the same experience 
with two registered Scotch collie pups. 
They seem to be too finely bred, and are 
timid. Later we purchased two collie 
shepherd pups at different times for less 
than half the price paid for the pedi¬ 
greed stock, and both turned out to be 
excellent cow dogs. I have never had 
any experience with the old English 
sheep dogs, but I think the German shep¬ 
herd the best general purpose dog for 
the farm. Gertrude terhune. 
Passaic Co., N. J. 
A New York Dairy Section. 
Primarily this is a dairying locality. 
Nearly the entire milk production is de¬ 
livered to the railroad shipping station, 
and sent to Greater New York. The 
Alex. Campbell Milk Co. own the ship¬ 
ping station, together with two interior 
factories, one located five and the other 
seven miles back from the railroad. Dur¬ 
ing. the Spring and Summer at these inte¬ 
rior factories the milk is made into but¬ 
ter and other by-products, but when the 
milk flow decreases in the late Fall and 
Winter the milk is hauled from the fac¬ 
tories to the shipping station every day, 
and sent to New York. The prices re¬ 
ceived by the farmers are the same as 
scheduled by the milk company last Win¬ 
ter to the producers located within the 
26-cent freight zone. The September 
price for 3.7 per cent, butter fat content 
was $1.45 per hundred, and the October 
price is $1.71. 
Buckwheat is selling at $1.60 per hun¬ 
dred delivered at the railroad. Hay, 
which brought $15 per ton in July and 
August is dull at $11 to $12 now. 
Apulia Station, N. Y. C. R. B. 
Grazing Wheat Stubble. —The Penn¬ 
sylvania Experiment Station gives this 
good and timely advice: 
“Grazing on clover pasture on wheat 
stubble is a common practice in Pennsyl¬ 
vania. In pasturing wheat stubble or 
any new land, care must be taken that | 
the cows do not tramp where the ground 
is too soft. The Fall feeding of clover 
is not a bad practice, since care must be 
taken to see that the young clover does 
not go to seed the first year. Plants 
which do go to seed will die that Win¬ 
ter. Some farmers feed new stubble too 
closely. A happy medium should be the 
aim. Because weeds are often found in 
the stubble fields a weedy flavor gets into 
the milk unless the cows are taken from 
such fields three hours before milking. 
Bowen may be used for pasture during a 
good year for this crop. In such a year 
little can be said against the practice. 
In years when the rowen is light, un¬ 
doubtedly close feeding is bad for the 
grass crop of the following year. The 
more clover there is in the rowen the 
better will be the pasture.” 
Horses $200; cows $100; hogs $6.50; 
hay $15; oats 40; potatoes 60; barley 
75. The following is the association 
price per hundred pounds of milk, de¬ 
livered at bottling plants and condonser- 
ies of the Chicago district for the Winter 
period : 
October . 
November . 
December . 
January . 
February . 
March . 
This being an average of $1.00 5-6 per 
hundred pounds, or four cents per quart. 
Every effort is to produce more milk 
and taxes. e. m. m. 
Batavia, Ill. 
Sophie 10th of Flood Farm, the world’s 
champion Jersey cow, has completed an¬ 
other year’s record. In 1014 “Sophie” 
broke the Jersey breed record with a 
production of 17,557.8 pounds of milk, 
000.1 pounds of butterfat. She calved on 
August 21, 1014, and was started on 
September 20th on the test which she 
has just completed. Milked but twice a 
day, and carrying a calf 175 days of the 
test, “Sophie” completed her sixth lacta¬ 
tion and sixth year’s record with a pro¬ 
duction of 11,015.4 pounds of milk, con¬ 
taining 680.5 pounds of fat. or 800.6 
pounds of 85 per cent, butter.
