milking period is over with. and calves
that will be heavy when ready for
the butchers scales"
Twenty-Five years ago II OF the
best dairy lecturers made the above
remarks, and they seem 10 the writer
to be as sound to-day as then. In the
series of the tests at Chicago during
the worlds fair ii was shown that the
ShOrt-hOrnS made the most profit from
a given amount of food than any other
breed, when both the butter and in
crease in live weight We're considered.
This is the key to the whole question,
and Ii that opens up a wide field
for discussion.
Is live weight in the coTS of any
particular value 10 the dairymant n
great many in buying COWS for the
dairy do not consider this at all. 1t
is simply the quantity and quality of
the milk and cream that they consider.
In one sense they are AL right. 1t
would be unwiSc for them 10 purchase
beef cattle that CAV very little cream
and MAX, but, other things being
equal. the beef cattle would be pre-
ferable. The short horns are IL heavy
eaters. For every pound Of grain they
consume they give a full, square return
in cream and beef.
Now. in every dairy the number
and weight of the calves produced
are very important. Only the choicest
of these are kept for milking purposes.
The others are sold as soon as large
enough. The Jersey calves are small
light and hardly 10 be compared with
the heavy, rapid-growing short horns.
The latter are as fine calves as there
are in the market. and the mothers
splendid beef animals. When ii comes
to disposing of the WORKOUT mixers,
it is very important whether the
animals weigh 500 to LOO pounds
or tip scales at 1000 70 1900 pounds
The general farmer cannot DO better
than 90 into raising feed cattle ana
dairy COWS combined. The short horns
properly MIXED. yield an abundance
OF milk, and they will increase sc
RAPIDLY in weight without extra iced
ing that they will pay a handsome
profit. When the dairy business is dull
and not paying, the short horns can
be fattened for market in a SNORT
time. BY this means the farmer has
two bows TO his string. and this Is
not a bad practice at all, despite the
cry of some that we should not nave
so many irons in the fire. AS the sneel
for American farmers must producc

the ideal cow be a good mixer ano

Fifty Chickens Versus One cow

FIFTY Chtckehs NtEsu~ WV
An inter. ting discussion has been
going on regarding the relative proht
to be derived from a given number
of chickens and a given number OF
COWS. While one fancier declares that
fifteen hens are more valuable than
the average COW. a stout vaccine paru-
san swears by the beard of the pro-
Dhct that he can make more money
from one cow than any man can from
100 hens. The results of experiments
made under varying conditions are
now useful.
one farmer made a test with hfty
chickens and one cow. and gives the
results as follows: Value of milk sold
from n COW. $144.1O; income o nj
" hens mostly for eggs sold, Sloo.Sl.
The cost of keeping the COW gwen AT
So. while the maintenance or the hellS
cost $50, and it was estimated that ule
value of the manure was equal Tor
both. The farmer was greatly in IA
yor of the hens in the matter of less
enrd labor. Of care and attention, the
cow requiring more time ana 1ar less
agreeable labor. Numerous other eN-
ppriments reported if summarized
would probably result in V OF 'he
hen if taken in the ratio Of fifty to one.
The chief value of the controversy
has been 10 show that no dairy farm
or should be without a fair ratio OF
poultry and no poultry raiser should lall

For small. irrigated farms intenslvely
