The first step In the selection of S
better suitable for the dairy herd Is to
take luto consideration both her sire
and dam, especially the sire, as his
traits are more apt to be dominant
than that of the dam.
Both parent stock should be of good
dairy strain. If either of them posseBi
strong blood from any other breed,
the offspring le very liable to Inherit
the characteristics of the beef type
and be utterly unlit for dairy purposes.
Having ascertained that the heifer’s
breeding Is suitable, her Individual
traits next should be considered.
Choose the heifer with a trim, well-
formed head, wide between the eyes;
large, dilated nostrils, denoting deep
respiration; large, brilliant eyes, sug-
gestive of a highly nervous tempera-
ment and consequent heavy milk flow;
thin, tapering shoulders and good
depth to forequarters, trim shanks
on both fore and hind legs.
See that the milk veins. Immediately
in front of and leading to the
udder are large and prominent, the
ribs long and convex to admit of good
feeding capacity and proper calving
apace.
The hindquarters should be tapering
and somewhat sharp at the hip end
back bones, rather than plump and
round as In the beef type of cattle.
There should be an ample space for
a large udder, the hind lege being
spread well apart, the flanka being
wide and extending well up on each
side.
One Bhould begin with the calf to
teach the future dairy cow to be
bandied.
She Is not only easier to train at this
age, but she will be so much easier to
handle than after she drops her first
calf at three years old; besides a gen-
tle. tractable milch cow Is more apt
to be a heavy milk-producer than If
ehe Is unruly and difficult to handle.
We slip the baiter on the calf before
she Is a yearling—often before she Is a
month old—then, by slow degrees,
teach her to lead. In only a very
short time till she will lead any-
where. stand tied and be of even less
trouble than the older cows and
horses.
We also teach the heifer to be ap-
proached from either side—no “right
side" for us to milk from after she
comes fresh.
She Is also petted and rubbed about
the flanks and around the udder to
accustom her to milking when the
time comes. These are all important
Items In handling and will mean a
saving of much time and patience at
the first calving.
If the heifer Is allowed to run out
with the common herd, eat the same
food and receive the same care, she
Is more than apt to be no better for
milking purposes than the other
helfere.
We keep the dairy heifer In a snug,
warm place during the severe
weather, bed her well at night, keep
her stall clean and sanitary and give
her an occasional currying and brush-
ing. You practise this method with
the colts—why not with the future
milch cow?
We feed the future dairy cow with
the thought In mind that every tissue
of her body should be nourished and
developed In the manner which will
promote milk-production, since this Is
what will be required of her after
maturity Is reached. If the dairy cow
Is fed only those rations which pro-
duce fat and flesh, we must expect
her to develop Into a beef type of
animal.
Wbile practically the same feed
given a dairy cow will prove satis-
factory to the dairy better, the rations
should be somewhat milder and
lighter, of course, depending upon the
size and age and appetite of the calf.
Clean, bright corn fodder, clover and
alfalfa make excellent roughage, while
the milder grains and bought feeds,
such as oats, cracked wheat, bran,
ollmeal, etc., ahould form a goodly
portion of the dally feed.
Corn chop should be made about
one-third the regular ration, especially
In the winter, as It will be required to
maintain body heat and le an excellent
flesh promoter.
As to the amount of grain or chop
feed given the calf, for one of ordi-
nary elxe we allow about one-half
cajlon morning and night, a little over
half of It being such laxative feeds aa
oats and bran, or oats and ollmeal.
the balance being oonj chop or shelled
eorn.
We have fed aome eorn and cob
•hop to seek calve*, tot this to Ml to
be practised for any great length of
time, there being too much woody
substance In the cob portion of tbe
feed In other words. It le too diffi-
cult of digestion for the calves, al-
though an excellent ration for tbe
older cows and horses.
More than a pint of corn and cob
chop is uot to be given the calf at one
time, aa It Is productive of gastric
colic If left In the stomach undigested
very long.
Perhaps the survst index to tbe gen-
eral health of the dairy cow la tbe
condition of Its bowels end tble Is best
ascertained by keeping a close watch
of tbe manure passing from them. Ia
nine cases out of ten you will find tbe
trouble, where there is any. located
there.
If the manure becomes dark colored
and hard, too much overripe, hard,
dry or woody feed Is being given and
this can be remedied by cutting down
the amount of this feed and giving of
the ones likely to act as a laxative. In
greater proportion; oats, ollmeal, etc.
serve this purpose.
In case the manure Is light colored
and thin, exactly the opposite la the
trouble and the nature of the feed
given should be exactly the reveres
of that for the Inactive bowels, feeding
the drier rations that will bind and
thicken the assimilated mass attar
digestion.
Other minor details which really are
of vast Importance when Bummed
up are plenty of open-air exercise In
the sunlight every day the weather
will admit. While enug shelter le
most essential, close confinement in a
dark, poorly ventilated stall le to be
carefully avoided, as this stunts the
calf's growth and encourages the for-
mation of dangerous disease germs,
especially those of tuberculosis.
Clean pure water la also most es-
sential and tbe continued absence of
this when the calf le on winter rations,
which are apt to be dry, often brings
on dry-murrain and kindred deadly
diseases.
Salt should be kept where the calf
can reach It at all times, aa this le one
of the greatest condiments known for
all live stock. It Is also recommended
on account of its promoting good
health and a free, easy action of the
digestive and aaalmilatlve organa.

north the crop Is not certain and Is
grown only to a limited extent for
home use. Its culture Is similar to
that of the tomato, except that it re-
quires a much longer season to ma-
ture.
Tbe plants require e warm, sunny
exposure and thrive best In a rich,
loamy soil that is fairly dry. Manure
heavily. The secret of growing egg-
plant ia to use vigorous, thrifty plants
and keep them growing. Any check
to growth Is exceedingly difficult to
overcome and Invites failure. Set the
larger growing varieties about three
feet apart each way and the smaller
varieties a less distance. Cultivate
thoroughly throughout the season.
Dipping for Tick a
Begin the dipping for killing ticke
early. One dipping now will do more
to eradicate the ticks than two or
three later in tbe summer. Most of
the early ticks have lived through
the winter or are from eggs that
have passed through the winter. The
ticks are less In numbers and will live
a shorter time without getting on to
cattle, because of having passed
through the winter. A tick killed now

Housework Is a Burden
It’s hard enough to keep house if in
perfect health, but a woman who is
weak, tired and suffering from an aching
back has a heavy burden.
Any woman in this condition has good
cause to suspect kid oey trouble, especial-
ly it the kidney action seems disordered.

sands of suffering women. It's tbe best
recommended special kidney remedy.
