Fattening Beef Cattle.

Professor W. A. Henry, whose repu-
tation as an authority on cattle feeding
cannot be doubted, suggests that Amer
lean cattle can be fattened upon much
less grain than our feeders generally
give them, says American Cultiyator.
He says that many feeders in the
western and middle states give to heir
fattening stock from twenty to thirty
pounds and sometimes ~thlrty-t1ve
pounds a day of cornmeal, while III
England and Scotland they seldom use
more than six or eight pounds a day.
They give with this from fifty to a
hundred pounds of sliced roots, usually
rutabagas, four to five pounds OF straw
and from five to ten pounds of hay.
They claim to send as good meat to
market as we can furnish them. which
we may not doubt, but we are not sure
that we can grow the turnips as the
corr which we feed here and whether
beef animals fed upon turnips would
stand transportation as we'll, either
alive or as dressed meat, as those fat
tened on corn. Professor Henry thinks
ensilage should take the place in our
stock feeding that roots do in Eng
land.

Care Of Pure
Bred Cattle

1t is plain that some men who buy
pure bred animals for the farm do not
know how to take care of them, says
Breeders Gazette. Scrub care means
scrub animals.
Therefore there is absolutely no
sense in any farmer purchasing pure
bred stock unless he has his mind full
~ made up to give it pure bred care.
This is very much Of an old story, but
the admonition cannot be too frequent
ly repeated. This should not discour-
age any farmer from purchasing pure
bred animals. He should, however, be.
fore doing SO have thought the matter
out carefully to the end that he may be
prepared to care for them properly.
1t is beyond question that the gospel
Of good blood has received more perse-
cution on account Of scrub fed well
bred animals than OF any other &C.

in twenty-four months; hence the point
Is that no farmer should lightly under
take the maintenance and reproduction
of pure bred animals, If he has not
first studied out the principles govern
ing the industry he would far better
stick to his scrubs and never get be-
yond them.
Breed and feed go together. It has
been under conditions generated by
high feeding and good shelter that the

animals has been wrought, and without
q continuance of such conditions sue

Back of the campaign for the prl-
mary election law there is a fixed
purpose:
TO break up and defeat the republic
can organization.
Every anti-republican, be he pop
ulis It. democrat or socialist, faYors
the primary election law. they see
a possibility therein to supplant re-
p~ublicanism.
Every prominent republican who
is promoting the primary scheme has
a personal grievance against the
republican organization. Note them:
Coe |. Crawford, an able man ana
worthy, twice elected attorney general.
Named for congress in 1876, ana
defeated.
He was a candidate to succeed the
late Senator Kyle, but met with de-
feat.
He was a candidate for governor
a year ago, but lacked a majority IN
the state convention. There is no
doubt but what he believes that IN
the enactment of the primary measure,
his chances for preferment would be
greatly enhanced. His laudable am
bition is to 90 to the United States
senate. but he does not believe that ne
| would have a stronger hand IN the
aft of the nation than IS taken by
| either Senator Kittredge or Senator
Gamble, or that he would be more IN
sympathy with the wholesome leglsla-
ton that President Roosevelt Is aim
ing to promote.
Then there is Editor Osborn from
Missouri. A writer of fierce epigrams,
.yho would rather fight than be right
any day. After alternately support
inc and opposing republican nomi-
nees for years, wanted to be post
master at Howard. He failed. The
republican organization contributed
to his defeat. hence his grievance.
Major Pickler who served six years
in congress-, fell through the alleged
populations of his private secretary,
and has never since been able to con
meet. Hence his grievance. The pro
posed primary doubtless sends a ray
of hope in his direction.
So it goes all the way down the
line. So far as the enthusiastic prl
mary promoters in South Dakota arr
concerned there is no issue RAISED
against corporate aggression as is The
case in Wisconsin and other states
The loyalty of our delegation IN con
gress on the great questions OF th'
hour does not abate me whit thu
thirst for revenge for the grievances
Do they promise any class of i'm
proved legislation which the organ
ization has withheld?
Not an atom.
Do they propose to give us an able
or cleaner delegation in congress-!
They haven't mentioned it, but pos
sibly that's to be inferred in spite o
their modesty.
Do they offer us an ADLER or cleane
set of state officials or county officials
Some more i~nferences.
Let it come to a vote. The onl.
expense to the taxpayers will be tn
cost of a special election, and tn
only way to settle this question is a
the ballot. If after a general discus
cussion a majority of the people wan
it, they should have an opportunit
to say so. The referendum is in tn
constitution for that purpose.-Gro

Pork Per Acre.

It may be unusual to estimate the
amount of pork that can be produced
from an acre of certain crops, but it is
claimed that an acre Of land in clover
will produce 500 pounds Of pork: peas.
375 pounds; corn, $50 >rsnds: oats,
800 pounds; barley, ~ pounds. and
wheat, 225 pounds. The value of each
crop on one acre, when converted into
pork, Is as follows: Glover, $32: corn
So2.4O; peas, SIS: barley. S16.SO, oats
1920, and wheat 50. estimating the
pork at 4 cents per pound.-Farm Wis

Dairy MaximS.

Feed your COWS twice a day at regu-
lar intervals and have pure water and
salt always accessible.
A dairy cow does not need as much
exercise as a trotting horse.
You do not need a dog to drive up
dairy cattle.
A cow with a good es%cutcheon and
nothing else should be ~butchered.
A COW likes a variety of food. Gratl-
~ her taste as often as you can.
The herald-advance. (Milbank, S.D.) 1890-1922, 1905-02-17

It is a sad fact that SO many farm
ers consider the difference in value be-
tween a good COW and a poor cow to
be merely the difference in purchasing
price, when as a matter OF fact 1T is
the difference between profit and loss,
writes a Pennsylvania correspondent
of Hoard's Dairyman.
In the locality of the writer a cow
which sells for $50 when fresh Is about
the best cow the farmer has and pro-
duces not far from 5000 pounds Of
milk annually. Another COW equally
healthy in body and good in DISPOSE
ton, which sells for $50, yields about
5000 pounds of milk annually.
Investigators of the subject are al
most unanimous in the assertion that
5000 pounds of milk are required to
pay the keep of a COW for one year. 1t
is usually conceded also that the length
of a cows usefulness is ten years.
In this length Of time the $50 COW
hould just about pay for her keep,
but leave nothing to her owner as prof
it. In the same length of time our $50
COW should produce 10000 pounds of
milk. Taking from this amount 10000
pounds to pay her keep, there are LETT
10000 pounds above her expense,
which in the creameries should bring
at least a cent per pound, thus giving a
profit of $500 in ten years, or the time
of the cows usefulness.
Can it not be said, then. with some
degree of accuracy that the difference
in value between the $50 and the $50
COW is nearly $500.
It is not to be understood from
these figures that II should pay $500
for the 5000 pound COW any more than
$50 should be paid for the 5000 pound
COW. Either, however, would be about
as sensible as the other. 1t is intended
to mean thai the cow which yields
only 5000 pounds Of milk annually
should never be purchased nor used for
dairy purposes and that considerably
more than $50 is not an e~Xtravagant
price to pay for a grade cow yielding
annually 5000 pounds of milk.
I'm proving the Cows.
When farmers began to select their
bulls from puss bred herds possessing
these great dairy values, letting the
beef question and all side issues take
care of themselves, they began to es-
tablish improved machinery in the
shape of dairy cows.

MIX Thoroughly.

It is important that the cows should
be thoroughly MIXED, as the last
drawn milk being richer In fat than
that which is first drawn it is obvious
that the quality is affected If the cows
are not MIXED cleanly. Cows with un-
developed front quarters usually give
milk of a lower quality from those
quarters, besides less quantity.

The Model Dairy Cow.

A model dairy cow should answer
the following description: Medium
size, small head, full and correctly
placed eyes,, neck long. thin and clean,
back Of good breath at loins, short
legs, large udder, medium sized, well
placed teats and plainly defined milk
veins. The cow, If well fed, should, of
course, give a large quantity Of rich
milk.-Farm Visitor.

II you are fond Of sardines, here IL

tanning these d~elicacies will be found
two parallel lines cut in the top. The
distance between the lines denotes the

MAY DAY.
The bluebird sings upon the hill,
The wild flowers are awake,
The blossoms smile on bush and tree
For little hands to take.
Within the cedars by the road
The robin builds her nest;
-Four dainty eggs of spotted blue
She broods beneath her breast.
The buttercups within the grass
Are yellower than gold,
And glittering drops of diamond dew
Their tiny goblets hold.
The sky is blue, the air is sweet;
Come, boys and girls, and bring
The blossoms home with happy feet,
Singing song of spring.
