Pasture and Barn Notes 
Public Saxes. —Recently we purchased 
a purebred Holstein cow at a guaranteed 
public sale. Now that we have her, we 
find that she is a non-breeder, and is prac¬ 
tically useless. On tracing the matter 
hack, we find through an acquaintance of 
ours that the man who included her in 
the sale knew about her condition. As 
far as we are concerned, we are not going 
to do anything about the matter, prefer¬ 
ring to take our medicine to going to the 
trouble of fighting out an adjustment. 
One thing is certain, however, that we 
will not buy any more animals at public 
sale unless we know about them in ad¬ 
vance, which leads us to make the point 
that it is just such a short-sighted policy 
on the part of the consigners of Holstein 
cattle to sales in this State that has prac¬ 
tically killed these sales, and cost the 
honest owners of Holsteinsr thousands of 
dollars in the decreased valuation of their 
herds. 
Milking Machines. —During the last 
week we had engine trouble, and had to 
stop using the milking machines for four 
or five milkings. The result was a good 
10 per cent shrinkage in the production 
of the herd. While we are not yet to a 
point where we want to take an agency 
for a milking machine, we are pretty 
much of the opinion that machine milking 
beats'indifferent hand milking, and that 
from now on the milking machine is going 
to be a big factor in the production of 
milk. 
Keeping Bacteria Count Down.— 
We get a premium for low bacteria count. 
In an endeavor to be sure of this premium 
we have studied about all of the literature 
that has been written on the subject, and 
at some time or another observed prac¬ 
tically all of the rules and regulations 
that have been laid down. The result is 
a very simple practice on our part, ex¬ 
pressed in two simple rules. The first 
rule is to use only utensils that have been 
thoroughly washed and dried; the second 
is to cool the milk down very cold in the 
shortest possible time and hold it there. 
We can’t see anything very complicated 
about these two rules, and we know that 
if they are carefully observed they will 
get results. 
Milk in Hay.— Each Winter feeding 
a dairy of cows teaches us something. 
This year the lesson that we think we 
have learned is that we have been neglect¬ 
ing our roughage. Our experience is that 
when cows are milking on a full grain 
ration and can’t be raised another pound 
with grain, by varying the amount and 
quantity of the roughage they can still 
be made to gain. Next year we are going 
at the problem from the angle of feeding 
more a*d better roughage and less grain. 
Mature or Immature Silage.— Soon 
now, almost before we realize it, we will 
be planting corn. Certainly we have got 
to order our seed corn immediately. The 
practical question is what to plant. Fol¬ 
lowing the popular movenfent of the last 
three or four years, we believe that we 
, have been led to grow corn that gets too 
mature, and that we have filled our silo 
with too mature silage. This last year 
we used a more immature variety, and 
our experience in feeding the silage from 
this more immature corn has been fully as 
satisfactory as feeding it from the mature 
corn last year. Our guess is that there 
is a happy combination to be struck be¬ 
tween succulents and digestible dry mat¬ 
ter and silage, and that in tiie long run 
each dairyman himself has got to solve 
the problem according to his own judg¬ 
ment. dairyman. 
Durhams for Draft Cattle 
J. G. W. asks for the best breed of 
oxen for draft purposes and Devons are 
recommended. If he wants fancy c-attle 
the Devons are all that is claimed for 
them, but I would prefer the Durhams 
for draft oxen, as they grow larger and 
are strongly built. They mature sooner 
than the Devons and are nice in dispo¬ 
sition. J. T. u.

CRAINE TRIPLE WALL 
The strongest, 
handsomest silo made 
Invariably choj *n by architects on fine estates, 
not only for b auty but for strength. The 
Craine will lithstand the severest tests of 
weather and weight, because of its triple 
wall construction. In¬ 
side are closely fitted 
upright staves ; around 
these is heavy, water¬ 
proof, frost-resisting 
Silafelt; outside is the 
handsome, protective 
spiral Crainelox cover¬ 
ing that binds the whole 
silo into one compact, 
permanent, rain-proof, 
frost-repelling, leak- 
_, --— proof structure that 
- ^ -- keeps th« silage from 
freezing and spoiling 
and saves expense. 
You can rebuild 
your old stave silo 
into a Craine, at half 
the cost of a new silo.
