use this wet. masli, especially on a flock 
of pullets which have not developed dur- 
in the Summer as well as usual, and 
which are not as uniform as they might 
be. Towards the last of the Summer, or 
just previous to their coming into produc¬ 
tion, a wet mash once a day consisting 
of the same mixture as they are getting 
in a dry mash, will help very much. 
This mash should not be too moist, but 
sufficient water or skim-milk or liquid 
should be mixed into the mash to make it 
crumbly. At first, if the flocks have not 
been used to the wet mash, they jvill not 
consume very much. As they become 
more accustomed to this feeding more 
mash will be consumed, until the point is 
reached where the hens are consuming 
quite a large proportion of wet mash. 
It is usually a good practice to give them 
all they can oat up clean in 15 or 20 min¬ 
utes. In feeding wet mash, one should he 
very careful that the birds are not getting 
too much mash, or that the mash does not. 
go had. or that it is left before them too 
long, and that they become indifferent 
towards it. It should be fed in such a 
way that they will be very anxious for it. 
and seem to like it, and under no consid¬ 
eration in feeding wet mash should the 
dry mash be shut off. In conclusion, one 
may vary the mixture of scratch feed to 
a considerable extent, provided he is care¬ 
ful that his mash feed has a proper bal¬ 
ance and is uniform ; and since the mash 
carries practically all the protein, espe¬ 
cially the animal protein, it. is really the 
important part of the ration for layers, 
and the liens should he made to consume 
large quantities of mash during the peri¬ 
ods of high production.

Experience with Cross-bred Cows 
< in page flt> W. asks if he could use 
a Holstein bull on his Jersey rows ami 
get results that would be satisfactory. I 
will give him some of my experience on 
that line of breeding. Back in the seven¬ 
ties and eighties I was breeding Jerseys 
and making butter on the farm, milking 
from 25 to 20 cows. Some of them were 
grades and some purebred. T had been 
breeding them for 17 years, and in 1S88 
I bought a purebred Holstein hull to head 
my herd of cows. 
The first, season I bred 15 of those 
cows to the Holstein bull, and I got 
seven heifer calves, good, strong, healthy 
stock. Some were white and black and 
some were fawn and white. When these 
heifers were two years old they were all 
giving milk. Now the point I was breed¬ 
ing for was to increase the flow of milk, 
and at the same time retain the richness 
of the Jersey, and I did increase the flow 
to a large extent, but lost some of the 
butterfat. The increase in the flow of 
milk was so much more that it made up 
for what I lost in butterfat. I wish you 
could have seen those grades when they 
were a few years older; they were fine- 
looking cows. The first one of those 
grades I sold T got $50 for her, and that 
was a big price for that time, when 
butter was selling around 20c per lb., 
and cheese from five to six cents per lb. 
My son. who has a farm in Jefferson Co., 
N. Y., is one of the patrons of the 
creamery, and he has descendants of that 
line of breeding in his large dairy, and 
his milk tests the highest in butterfat 
of any patron who delivers milk there. 
T would say to C. W.: get a good pure¬ 
bred Holstein and go ahead, for you will 
get some fine-looking cows.

Sick Calves 
I would like to know what ails my calf? 
She seems to stretch herself out full 
length and has a lot of pain; very little 
movement of the bowels, so T am sure it 
isn’t scours. I gave her some castor oil. 
but it did not help her: have lost two al¬ 
ready in exactly the same way. I keep 
them on the cow for three or four days, 
and then give them skim-milk (from the 
separator). I thought it might he the 
separator milk, so gave her half calf meal, 
but. she went just the same. T have kept 
the new one on the cow for a week and 
am now giving her half new and half 
skim-milk. She is perfectly well now. 
The other two died. Is the so-called 
“calves’ cordial” worth anything to a calf? 
Maine. u. a. b. 
The sudden change from nursing to 
skim-milk causes such derangement. Feed 
whole milk for at least a month, then 
gradually change to skimmed, which 
should be fed blood warm and at least 
three times a day. Make the calf drink 
slowly and he careful to keep the feeding 
utensils perfectly clean and sweet. We 
do not know the ingredients of what vou 
call “calf cordial.” a. s. a. 
Hard Milker 
How may I cure teat of a cow which 
has become somewhat hard in the upper 
part, giving much trouble in getting the 
nnlk out of it? At the advice of another 
farmer T have bathed it in kerosene and 
rubbed it with lard, but with no avail. 
J. s. 
Twice daily immerse the teat for a few 
minutes in hot water containing all the 
boric add it will dissolve. Also use a 
sterilized dilator of the glove-stretcher 
pattern, to enlarge the orifice of the 
teat. At night rub in best castor oil.

Because —Unicorn Dairy Ration is suitable
