The Dry Cow.


From Farmers Review:-The dry
cow that is to be fresh in March or
April often has hard time during
winter She is turned with the year
ling or .two-year-old steers, and with
them gets the run of the corn fields,
and at other times receives only corn
fodder for her daily ration; or, prob
ably, with her companions she takes
her chances at the straw pile. Pro
gressive farmers have learned that
corn stalks or wheat straw alone do
not give profitable growth on young
stock, nor satisfactory gains on older
ones In fact, they have decided that
instead of getting a profit from their
rough feed they often lose the profit
obtained on last summers pasture, and
all has to be done over again next
summer. Surely the dry COW should
have our sympathy. True, she may
not be turned into money very soon
II steers fail to grow or gain on such
food, much less could we expect a dry
cow to produce a well-developed calf
and feed 1t well afterwards on such
food. Then she is not only expected
to feed the little youngster, but to
give one-half of her milk to the family
II this supply Is given, the COW must
be storing a reserve force when dry
II allowed to rough it through she all
the while gives away from her own
system instead of laying up a surplus
for future needs. Glover hay with
some corn or bran with corn fodder
and timothy hay viii be a fairly good
ration for the dry cow Do not feed
too sparingly of the bran foods-W.

Iowa as a Dairy State.

H R. Wright, dairy commissioner of
Iowa, says: Iowa is a great dairy
state. The creameries of the state an
nually make about $4,000. 900 pounds
of butter. The census of 1900 says
that we make 61.7S9.2ss pounds of but
ter on our farms. The same authority
says that there is made in the United
States 420 ,954,016 pounds of creamery
butter and 1.071, 745,127 pounds of
butter produced on farms. So that
Iowa, with 56,025 square miles of area,
produces almost 20 per cent of the
creamery butter, and nearly 10 per
cent of all the butter made in the
United States. The value of our dairy
products is about $28 .OO0, 900 annually,
to which must be added the value of
milk and cream consumed as such,
and the value of the skinned milk
and other by-products which must ag-
gregate, perhaps $5,000,000 more. All
of these figures are very large and
naturally are a source of some pride
to those engaged or interested in the
dairy business. But our pride in this
does not increase our bank accounts.
The average number of cows kept
by the creamery patron is only seven,
and the average butter production per
cow is less than 40 pounds. If it Is
true that it costs $25 per acre to keep
a cow it will be seen that there is not
an extraordinary profit in the product
of the average COW. The profits in
dairying would be larger and more
certain If the cows were fed and cared
for with more attention to proper
methods, and the number of cows
would be very much greater if the
possible profits In dairying were better
understood.
