Pasture and Barn Notes 
Tuberculosis and Production. —Now 
that the results of the post-mortem on our 
reacting rows is known, we have been 
thinking back and seeing whether there 
has been any relation between the pro¬ 
duction of these cows and the disease 
from which they suffered. I have already 
told how that the cows that were slaugh¬ 
tered were among those in the best con¬ 
dition in the barn. As we remember 
their performance at the milkpail. there 
is little to indicate, in our case at least, 
that milk production is affected through 
an animal’s having tuberculosis, as long 
as that animal remains in a strong phys¬ 
ical condition. Two of the cows that 
had generalized cases have milked better, 
or at least as well, as any animal in the 
barn; yet. after seeing the post-mortem 
it seems a wonder that they were able to 
live at all. Of course, with animals in 
such a condition there must always be the 
possibility present that they will go to 
pieces. Quite likely, sooner or later this 
always happens. Again, we say that we 
are not sorry that we applied the tuber¬ 
culin test, but in honesty we must draw 
the conclusion that tuberculosis and the 
ability to produce milk do not seem to be 
very closely related in a dairy cow. 
Lining Up the Cows.—A s we get in 
more purebred cows we are taking more 
pains in selecting the stanchions they oc¬ 
cupy, so as to have the string of cows 
appear to the best possible advantage. It 
certainly makes an impression on a man 
when he steps into a barn to come smack 
up against three or four tine-looking 
cows on the end of the string nearest 
him, and a man would be a fool for put¬ 
ting the little runts in this strategic pos- 
sition. Then, too, a man will get a much 
better impression of a row of cows if 
they run more or less even in size, or if 
they vary considerably in size, if they are 
so placed that they grade off into the 
various sizes gradually. Nothing will 
spoil the appearance of a herd in 
stanchions like having two or three extra 
tall cows mixed into the middle of it. 
The Sloping Rump. —While we are on 
the subject of appearance of dairy cattle, 
1 want, to say that it seems to me that 
thei’e is no one bad point that is so uni¬ 
versally condemned in a dairy cow as a 
sloping rump. Nobody wants these “slop- 
ers.” as they are called, despite, the fact 
that some of the best. Cows that ever ate 
out of a manger have had sloping rumps. 
In our own breeding we are exercising the 
utmost care about, this characteristic, apd 
will not waste time and feed on a calf 
with a sloping rump, no matter how 
promising in other ways. Breeders who 
are .beginning, and especially men who 
are buying one or two purebred females, 
should keep this idea of a long, level, 
smooth rump on a dairy cow in mind iu 
selecting their foundation stock, and es¬ 
pecially iu the choice of a herd sire. In 
the latter case, by far the best bet is the 
aged bull whose daughters can be seen, 
and who can generally be bought for less 
than the cost of raising him. 
Changing Feed. —One of the results 
of the almost impossible railroad situation 
that now exists is the famine iu concen¬ 
trated feeds which exists at various points 
through the East. We have had our own 
experience with this situation. All Win¬ 
ter we have bought concentrates and 
mixed our own dairy ration. Then we 
began to be unable to get iirst one feed 
and then another. For a while we got 
along by changing the mixture. Then 
with the high protein feeds practically 
unobtainable, we turned to the better 
grades of proprietary mixed feeds. With 
these we have had some unique experi¬ 
ences. Iu the first place, we nearly got 
the same production with them that we 
got with our home-mixed ration, only the 
cost is greater. Iu the second place, we 
found that these higher grade feeds are 
so practically identical in composition 
that we could switch with full feeds from 
one to the other of them and not appar¬ 
ently bother the cows a bit. I give this 
bit of information as interesting to me 
because one of the agents of these feeds 
spent about an hour at milking time last 
night showing me why his feed was su¬ 
perior to all others, and to home-mixed 
rations especially. There are certainly 
some good patent, feeds on the market, 
but these feeds for the same percentage 
of protein must be practically identical 
with a home-mixed ration, dairyman. 
HOLSTEINS 
How a Purebred Holstein 
Sire Increases Profits 
Here is just one instance of the results 
obtained by the Iowa Agricultural Experi¬ 
ment Station in tests covering leu years. 
A scrub cow had a record of 4,58S.4 lbs. 
milk and 201.07 lbs. fat at 0 years of age. 
Her daughter by a purebred Holstein bull 
produced as a 4-year-old, 6,822.8 lbs. of 
milk and 283.75 lbs. of fat, an increase of 
49 per cent in milk and 41 per cent in fat 
over the dam’s best record. 
That evidence, easily verified, should be 
pondered over well by farmers and dairy¬ 
men who are desirous of more profit per 
cow, but who are putting off buying a 
Purebred Holstein 8ire. Send for our 
extremely interesting booklets today. It

Mr. Cow Man 
Did it ever occur to you that there is more 
money in ten good cows than in twenty aver¬ 
age cows? Why do you feed and care for 
the extra ten? 
The only way to compete with present prices 
of milk is to breed better cows, keep the best 
and kill the robbers.
