She is milkins 22 lbs. of milk per day 
which we sell at the door at 10 cents per 
(piart. When this heifer is three years 
the age at which many breeders have 
them freshen the first time, she will have 
paid me more than $200, will owe me 
nothing, will be worth $100 cash, and will 
begin to pay me a greater profit by milk¬ 
ing about 40 lbs. of milk daily. 
In order to have heifers freshen at 20 
months, they must have the very best of 
care and feed from the day they are born 
till that time. They must have a suitable 
ration that will produce plenty of bone 
and muscle, and sufficient of it. They 
must not stop growing for a day. The 
heifer above mentioned never had the 
scours nor any other calf illness for an 
houi’. I cared for her myself altogether, 
always wuitching for symptoms of dis¬ 
orders, which never manifested themselves, 
and was always prepared to combat them 
if they did appear. 
I have raise<l heifers for 80 years, and 
by following this methotl I se<Mire more 
net jirofit than in any other way that I 
know of. JAS. O. COOl’KR.

Money in Angus-Holstein Steers 
I give you the return on some cattle 
recently shippod t<) Buffalo, and sohl by 
eomniission xnerohitnts to packers. All 
wa'i'C from gr.ade llolstx'in cows and all ex¬ 
cept one from a jxurebi'ed Angus bull. 
'J’hese < attle were culls last Spring, tlmt is, 
they did not ripmi u() so .is to be sold 
jis y(>arlings and I kept them over. One 
heifer had a <‘alf at foot iind had to be 
kept, .and this A\'inter h.ad iinother calf, 
which we are raising. This Indfer had 
white markings like her grade Holstein 
mother, but the Angus shapx;, and brought 
$12.8. She h.'id no grain until she had her 
calf in .lanuary. 
I asked to hiive the x-attle sold seimi- 
titely as 1 wanted to know the paclou-'s 
estimate <if the valtie of the heifers com¬ 
pared with the stem’s, and what elTect tlie 
I lolstein color markings on some of the 
Ciittle might have on their sale. The 
cattle were f<‘d Alfalfa hay and cornstalks 
with ii light grain ration of wheat mid¬ 
dlings mixed \yith Alfalfa chaff swefit 
from the barn floor.

was more money ixx the 10 he.ad sold last

cents per pound on a 000-pound yearling.

A Homemade Halter 
-V very handy and easily-made halter 
tor either horses or cattle is constructed 
!is follows: Using new half-inch rojie 
gives best results. Measure over the 
nose of the animal, allowing for stretch¬ 
ing or shrinking, and braid in the ends 
as in Fig. 1, first slipping on a small 
ring. Next measure over the head of 
the animal for the head-idece, and cut 
the tope, allowing for end enough to 
braid in on the nose-piece as in Fig. 2. 
Having the proper .size you desire, fin¬ 
ish braiding the ends into the nose- 
piece; it makes less of a knot to braid 
one end one way and two ends the other 
way on the nose-piece. In using thi.s 
halter on horses, especially colts, I in¬ 
sert a piece of quarter-inch rope be¬ 
tween the strands at the top of the 
head-piece, and tie under the throat of 
the animal. Figure 8 gives the idea of 
the finished halter with small roptt in 
place, which prevents the animal from 
slipping the halter off its head.

Simple Treatment for Lice 
I have noticed from time to tjme a 
remedy wanted for lice on Ciittle. My 
cows were full of lice last Winter, and 
I called my veterinarian’.s attention to 
it, when he came to treat a horse. I 
asked him about blue ointment treatment, 
which he said was all right, but to re¬ 
member it was poison. He told me to 
use buckwheat flour and sulphur in equal 
quantities and rub it into the hair, so 
it got down well onto the skin, especially 
around the top of tall, along the back 
and between the horu.s. He said there is 
nothing poisonous alxtut that treatment 
and the lice will leave. I repeated the 
tr<‘atment in 10 days and cattle were 
not bothered with any more lice. This 
treatment was cheap, safe, and did the 
job to perfection. Just why he recom¬ 
mended buckwheat flour instead of any 
other I do not know, and did not think 
to ask at the time, perhaps any flour 
would do, but buckwhetit flour can be 
ea.sily procured anywhere in the coun¬ 
try stores. GKOUGE dinkei.man.

Gadfly Grubs 
In the book “Domestic Sheep,” by 
Henry Stewart, mention is nuide of a 
certiiin kind of syringe to use in treat¬ 
ing sheep affected by “grub in the head.” 
Can you tell me if this is a i»ractical 
device, and if so where I could buy one? 
Virginia. J. V. Ii. 
Cadfly grubs in the sinuses of the 
sktill cannot be reached and destroyed by 
means of the special syringe alluded to 
or by any .syringe, hut those in the upper 
passiiges might so be reached. The only 
way of destroying grubs in the sinuses 
would be to open into the sinuses by means 
of a treiihine. We have also seen grubs ex¬ 
posed by .sawing olT the horns close to the 
skull. A. s. A.
