consider the matter at all; we only
know that his voice nor influence was
never heard nor felt in our behalf,
and that his name does not appear in
the list of those who voted for or
against the measure. Under the cir
cumstances, we feel warranted in con-
Guiding that Senator Turner did not
favor such measure, and is not con-
cerned in the growth and development
of the dairy industry of the state, and
therefore he has no claims upon the
dairymen of the state. We are inform
ed that in the event of the majority
of the next legislature being Demo-
Gratis, that Mr.. Turner will be returned
to the senate for a term of six years.
1t is clear to be seen that vote for
Democrat for member of the legis-
lature is practically vote to reflect
Senator Turner. In view of his atti-
tude toward the dairy industry, it can
not be considered otherwise than
public calamity should such a thing
occur. The dairymen of the state, all
interested in the dairy industry, and
all consumers of dairy products, owe
it to themselves and to the state, to
bear these things in mind when they
vote.

heifers have two well-developed rudi-
his own heifers and saving the best
heifer calves from them after they are
three years old. We have herd most
of which can hardly be distinguished
from pure bred Guernseys, with good
form and udder, and yielding us about
$3.50 pounds of five per cent milk per
year, including always the two-year-
old heifers with their first calves, of
which there are usually about five or
six in the herd.
1t will be readily seen that very lit
tie money was invested. The home
herd has grown from 20 to 80, besides
another of 20 that is being built up on
similar lines on another farm, and we
now sell off surplus from these herds
(old and faulty COWS, heifers, calves
and a few each year of selected fam
lily COWS at $40 to SIS per head), from
$500 to $500 annually. I could make
more production if 1 had only mature
cows, and doubtless, it would be as
cheap to buy as to save them, but
where to buy? AYE, there's the rub!"
and it makes me rather keep the COWS

not Of" 1 believe in few more years,

ment. | can show a herd that for

DAIRYMEN, GUARD YOUR INTER.
ESTS.

BY Hon. H. L. Blanchard. President Wash
ington State Dairymen's Association.
Election day is near at hand, and
the dairymen and all others interest
ed in the dairy industry throughout
ity to express their approval or dis
approval of the official conduct of our
congressman and senators, particular
ly in connection with the passage of
the Grout Bill. All will remember the
anxiety of those engaged or interested
in the dairy industry throughout the
United States, during those days,
months and years that such legisla-
ton as was demanded by the Grout
Bill, was being considered by congress.
We have not forgotten the great in
roads that were being made upon our
business by that monstrous fraud
oleomargarine-nor have the consum-
ers of our dairy products forgotten
these things. The correspondence
that took place during such period be-
tween the writer hereof and our con-
gressmen and senators,-a part of
which was at the time published in
The Ranch,-is still quite fresh in
our memories. We are glad to remem-
Der the encouraging letters received
from Senator Foster, and Congressman
Cushman and Jones, wherein they
promised to do all within their power
in the matter of securing the passage
by congress of said Grout Bill. We
also know that these gentlemen kept
their promises and that their names are
recorded in the list of those members
who voted for the passage of the bill,
thereby rendering a faithful and in
valuable service to every dairyman,
and to the dairy industry of our whole
state We, as dairymen, feel very
grateful to these gentlemen for such
service and shall show our gratitude
by voting for these congressman and
their running mate at the approaching
election.
Nor have we forgotten Senator Tur-
ner's conduct in this matter How he
promised to carefully consider" our
demands that he support such measure
and vote for it's passage. We cannot
say as to whether he did, or did not,

QUALITY.

thereof, as we'll as of a profitable mar
ket for the same, that | think many
are inclined to be discouraged, think
ing that these things can only be at
tanned with high-priced fancy animals
and equipment; hence are only posi-
BILE to those with long pocket books,
and consequently beyond the reach of
the ordinary young farmer, often with
too little working capital, and mort
gage to look after besides. 1t has,
therefore, seemed that some one might
be helped and encouraged if | set in
order some of our experience along
these lines.
First, let me say that J. was always
taught to regard animal husbandry as
very necessary part OF the farm
economy, and we always kept a good
deal of stock of one kind or another,
never were in the dairy business to
any extent after l was old enough to
take an interest in affairs. In fact,
was rather prejudiced against it, from
an experience of my fathers in ship
ping milk to New York. The business
of buying COWS from the dairy dis
tricts in the fall, and feeding them
mostly coarse food through the win
ter, sending them to New York when
fresh in the spring, took more capital
than l could spare. 1t had ceased to
be profitable, also, as the COWS cost
nearly as much in the fall as they
were worth when fresh in the spring,
to say nothing of those that proved
barren, and worthless for dairy pur-
poses. l also found that the manure
made from the coarse food fed to such
stock, was OF very poor quality. Then
| tried fattening calves. This paid
we'll when the calves could be obtain
ed, and did not get an epidemic OF
scours among them. But it ruined the
COWS and l felt as though l ought to
do something that was permanent and
would give me a dairy of value, which
| could be proud to look at and show
my friends.
About this time cooperative
creamery was started on the cream
gathering plan, about nine miles from
me. l then determined to start a dairy
OIL largely WluI6I ulllhGlo, anu VI CuO
Jersey type. l had no money to buy
expensive COWS; but had men whom
| knew in the dairy sections pick up
for me the best COWS they could find,
with a good mixture of Jersey blood.
There were fresh COWS with some that
had been MIXED several months,
many of them two or three years old.
The average cost was $35 per head.
These, with half dozen that | had,
made up my first dairy of 20 animals.
| am surprised now when | think OF
it how good those COWS were, consid-
ering the price and the way they were
obtained. Of course, there were some
that went to the butchers at the end
of the first season, but then there were
others that would make up 10 or IL
pounds of butter week, and keep it
up for five or six months. In COM
pany with my next neighbor, who was
also starting along the same line, l
bought an aged Jersey bull, OF ex-
cellent breeding and good individual
ity. On account of his age, and
reputation of being vicious, we got him
for $50. Then I paid $25 for two Jer-

COWS, and later only those calves that
were we'll developed and showed some
indication of a good dairy type. Later,
l learned that it was economy to dis
card some of these when few months
old, when they failed to develop as
they should.
Realizing that could only use the
old bull for couple of years, I looked
around and secured a Jersey bull calf
few months old, for $40. This calf
came from one of the best strains of
Jersey blood (St. Helier), but being in
the hands of an ordinary farmer the
proved to be one of the best bulls
ever owned. Unfortunately l butch
cred him at three years of age, before
knew his value, having the notion
that young bull was just as good and
not wanting to keep two, then made
mistake that took me at least two
years to overcome. l had at the end
of four years begun to get a dairy
largely of the Jersey blood, and quite
uniform in type and color, but not
very large size, and with rather small
teats, and although the milk tested
about five per cent fat, l felt l was
not getting flow enough though aver
aging for the herd, including heifers
with their first calf, 275 pounds but
ter per COW. To get larger size and
more milk as we'll as better teats |
bought a Guernsey bull, and mated
him to my purebred Jerseys (of which
then had severaD. While l got
few superior COWS, the bulk of them
were neither Jersey nor Guernsey. Nice
pretty things, but neither good con-
sumers nor producers, and it was not
until l got so strong an infusion OF
the Guernsey blood that it predominant
ed that l got as good animals as be-
FORE Neither did l get any richer
milk better teats or greater size I'M
til l bred for them especially from in
dividuals, and not from a breed as a
whole. l would have attained the
same results, in much less time, had
selected Jersey bull from family of
large animals, large mixers with good
teats, and the bull being himself well
developed along these lines, rather
than to try to get these things from
an inferior of Guernsey blood. 1 be-
lieve the same thing would have been
true had my foundation stock been
Guernseys and I had attempted to
cross them with Jerseys. My advice
to anyone is, never mix breeds. The
stronger infusion of the blood desired
the more certain will be the results.
| have come more and more to ap-
preciate the Importance of individual
excellence as we'll as breeding in a
bull. So my next Guernsey bull was
selected very carefully by friend who
was an expert. He was a most val
liable animal, but unfortunately died
from an accident when four years old.
My next purchase was calf from a
noted herd of Guernseys from a COW
that had made over 400 pounds of but
ter in year, and has since made near
ly 600 pounds, and one of their best
bulls Because he had brown muz-
zle got him for $50 ($25 off for fail
ing to have then fashionable color.
He was rather coarse Q wanted more
size), had six rudimentary teats of
pOOd size and cama from q line of
