Fine  Devon  Cow 
Many  of  our  people  want  to  look  at 
different  breeds  of  cows.  They  know  the 
Jersey,  Holstein  and  Ayrshire  by  sight, 
but  there  are  some  breeds  unfamiliar  to 
them.  A  number  of  readers  have  asked 
us  to  show  a  picture  of  a  good  Devon 
cow.  They  often  see  the  big  red  oxen 
with  fine  long  horns  working  on  rocky 
New  England  farms,  and  such  teams 
really  present  an  attractive  picture. 
Most  people  seem  to  think  that  a  Devon 
is  a  beef  breed,  without  much  value  as  a 
dairy  animal.  This  cannot  be  said  of 
the  cow  herewith.  This  is  “Dolly  Dart¬ 
mouth,”  15586.  She  lias  just  completed 
a  test  known  as  a  world  record  for  Devon 
cows*.  Her  test  was  started  March  5. 
Devon  Goto  Dolly  Dartmouth 
1022,  and  during  the  full  year  she  pro¬ 
duced  14,417.0  lbs.  of  milk,  which  con¬ 
tained  001.8  lbs.  of  butterfat.  It  is  stated 
that  her  grain  value  was  a  little  less  than 
1  lb.  of  grain  to  4  lbs.  of  milk.  The  esti¬ 
mated  feed  cost  of  a  pound  of  m ilk  from 
this  cow  was  but  a  little  over  one-tenth 
cent,  and  the  cost  of  a  pound  of  fat  would 
be  under  20  cents.  Her  best  day’s  record 
was  62  lbs.,  and  in  the  month  of  April 
she  made  1,005.9  lbs. 
Of  course,  some  of  the  Holstein  men 
.will  say  that  this  doesn’t  amount  to 
much,  but  when  we  consider  the  value  of 
the  Devon  for  beef  and  for  work  as  well, 
we  will  see  that  this  cow  comes  close  to 
being  pretty  nearly  an  ideal  general- 
purpose  animal. 
Wool  Notes 
High  prices  are  being  asked  for  the 
new  clip  by  Western  producers.  The  de¬ 
mand  for  carpet  grades  of  wool  is  good. 
Prices  quoted  covering  recent  business 
are  :  New  York  and  Michigan  unwashed 
delaine,  55c:  fine  unwashed,  48  to  50c; 
half  blood,  53  to  54c ;  three-eighths  blood, 
54  to  55c.  Ohio  and  Pennsylvania  half 
blood  combing,  57  to  58c;  three-eighths 
blood,  55  to  56c.  New  England  half 
blood.  50  to  52c ;  three-eighths  blood,  55 
to  56c.  Texas  fine  scoured,  $1.25  to 
$1.42.  Oregon  No.  1  staple,  $1.42  to 
$1.45. 
Heifers’  Milk  Record 
I  saw  a  statement  in  The  R.  N.-Y. 
that  “it  is  a  good  heifer  that  gives  15 
lbs.  of  milk.”  As  it  did  not  state  whether 
per  milking  or  daily,  I  suppose  daily.  I 
have  two  heifers  that  freshened  second 
week  in  February,  half  Holstein  and  half 
Guernsey,  Holstine  sire  and'  purebred 
Guernsey  dam.  Each  is  giving  25  lbs. 
milk  daily,  doing  it  on  4  qts.  beet  pulp 
($3  per  bag  100  lbs.),  *4  qt.  40  per  cent 
gluten  ($2.35),  1  qt.  eornmeal  ($2)  to 
each  feed,  night  and  morning.  Poor  grade 
hay.  d.  M. 
Manchester,  N.  H. 
Painting  Silo 
I  still  have  two  doors  of  silage  of 
Eureka  corn  in  silo.  Is  it  advisable  to 
paint  while  silage  is  in  silo?  Does 
weather  this  time  of  the  year  have  any 
effect  on  outside  painting.  L.  B. 
Leonard’s  Bridge,  Conn. 
I  can  see  no  reason  why  you  cannot 
paint  the  exterior  of  your  silo  at  this 
time  of  the  year.  It  should  not  affect 
the  silage  or  the  wood,  since  you  say  there 
is  not  much  silage  left.  The  main  point 
to  consider  is  that  of  dryness  of  the 
wood.  If  you  are  considering  the  paint¬ 
ing  of  the  silo  lining,  you  have  an  alto¬ 
gether  different  problem,  because  it  is 
impossible  so  to  paint  a  wood  lining  that 
it  will  not  become  saturated  with  the 
silage  juices.  Under  these  conditions, 
when  the  lining  is  again  exposed  by  feed¬ 
ing  out  the  silage,  the  paint  greatly 
retards  the  drying  of  the  wood,  and  the 
result  is  decay  sets  in.  favored  by  the 
prolonged  dampness.  For  this  reason 
most  farmers  leave  the  wood  lining  with¬ 
out  paint,  or  use  some  antiseptic  which 
does  not  form  a  water-proof  coat.
