PROFIT OF THE DAIRY COW

Very few farmers realize the in
come that can be had from a good
COW. The farmer who keeps cow a.
year to raise SIS or $40 calf usually
thinks he has done as well as any,
one, but his profits do not compare
with those of the dairyman. Except
with zshigh=priced= registered cattle, as
rule the milk, not the calf, is the
most valuable product of the cow.
The milk produced by the average
Missouri cow will sell for about $50
at the creamery or when made into
first-class butter. good COW of the
dairy breeds will make at least $50
cash income every year. I have list
OF about so Missouri farmers who
report cash income of from $50 to
$l00 per cow every year. AS matter
OF fact, it takes only 60-hours' time
worth about six dollars to milk a cow
ten months.
Now a few facts and figures from
our experience on the state farm.
Last year the cash income from the
herd was $3.50 per COW for butter
sold and $3.50 per COW for milk.
skim milk and calves-making total
income from each COW of $95. This
year the average income per COW from
the same sources will be over $1OO for
the entire herd of 28 These results
do not come from feeding expensive
feeds or excessive feelings. 1uey are
not due to fine barns or unusual treat
ment OF any kind. But they are the
result of doing the right thing at the
right time in the proper way.

RYE AS FOOD FOR SWINE.

The rye crop is not grown to the
same extent to which, in our judg-
ment, it ought to be grown, either as
a pasture plant or as garden plant.
The growing of rye at the present
time is confined very largely to light
lands, whereon other crops, as for in
stance wheat and barley cannot be
grown with nearly so much success.
1t is we'll that rye is grown on such
land, but there is also a place for it
occasionally on other land.
A strong point in favor of growing
rye, even for grain, is that after it has
been grown thus the ground can be
plowed and another crop of some kind
can be made to follow the same sea-
son. This is owing to the fact that
the rye is harvested at such an early
date. One great objection, however, to
growing rye thus is the fact that more
or less Of the grain is likely to shell,
and being very hardy plant, lives
over winter and grows up again in
other crops.
Rye furnishes excellent food for
SWINE. Ot course, 1t is not we'll, as a
rule, to confine them to rye entirely.
1t should be fed with moderation to
young pigs, because of he fact that it
possesses so largely carbohydrates.
But when pigs have passed the wean-
ing stage and are being pastured
largely on leguminous crops, as
clover, rye\ can be fed to them with
advantage with considerable freedom.
1t may also be fed to swine with
much advantage during the fattening
period. Of course, if corn is fed along
with the rye, so much the better. but
even where corn cannot be obtained,
rye alone during the fattening period,
or rye along with barley, will finish
the pigs up in pretty good shape.

THE cow AND THE HEN.

We much prefer the combination Of
COWS and hens to mixture Of even
pigs or calf-raising in certain circum-
stances. Skimmilk will make better
returns fed laying hens than to any
animal. It contains the much sought
for protein and is easily digested It
can be feu sweet or sour, as butter
milk or curd. Perhaps the best way,
at least it affords a variation is to
make a curd, or feed it straight or
mixed with meal or chopped clover or
anything else the farmer may deem
advisable
We approve of every COW owner
raising his own herd. Buying cows is
ticklish business, and buying good
cows Is a very rare proceeding. Get a.
good bull who will really prove to be
half the herd, and raise all the prom
Using heifer calves from the choice
dams. The number dairyman can
take care of is often less than the
skimmilk supply. The surplus of. this
valuable product can be fed with great
profit, to the young growing chicks or
to laying hens. A laying hen is like a
milk COW, she should not be fat. Corn
is, as fatal to egg production as it's in
discriminate use is disastrous in the
dairy.

We have, settled down 10 the con-
viction, based on our experience in
hoeing quack' grass, that the pan OF
tryingsto remove it from a. corn hill
or from a corn row when the corn is
much advanced is not good one:
Hoeing done at that stage. in the corn
will ainjure it., and we question very
much II the influence in destroying
the, quack quac is sat all marked. While
great advantage may result from go
ing through corn and cutting out
stray weeds. such as wild oats and
summer grass that would otherwise
go to seed, where time can be got. Tor
such work we believe the labor is
practically lost that is thus spent hi

POULTRY NOTES.

In regard to the pernicious habit of
feather eating which fowls some
times acquire, the New York station
has one preventive and two remedies.
The preventive is. a wide range for
the fowls, and the first remedy is to
smear the feathers of the fowls that
permit themselves to be fleeced with
lard or vaseltne mixed with powdered
aloes. The other remedy is to strip
the feathers from feather eaters and
cook the stripped fowls and eat them.
and for general purposes the latter
cure is the better way. It always
works.
1t is essential in saving the Drop
pings that they be kept dry. II al

rain valuable elements are lost.
Feed the little chicks late in the
evening and early in the morning and
do not compel them to wade through
long wet grass for their food
Plaster of paris scattered over the
floors of the poultry houses is puri-
Tying absorbent, preventing the smell
which arises from the droppings.
Much of the disease with which the
fowls are afflicted may be traced from
its origin to neglect in properly ven-
tiIating the poultry houses.

poultry yards are muddy, feeding sui

DREAM OF CONQUEST.
Russia's Early Attempt to Annex the
Pacific Coast.

California as most people know, was
once a Spanish province and in 1SO6-just
century ago-San Francisco was a little
Spanish village. with a weak fort at the
preside, and the doom Of SPANS rule in
America already written on the brains Of
her wiser men.
But what few people have ever read is
the well-nigh successful effort of Russia to
annex California as bit Of the cars ter
ritory; an act that would have changed
all the history of the United States, have
lost to us the wealth Of the golden state
and have left us pitiably weak to foreign
invasion on our western borders.
The genius who planned this master
stroke of Russian diplomacy was also the
man who gave Russia her first and only
hold on American sofia hold she did not
release for many years. ReZanov-baron.
statesman, explorer, millionaire-was the
promoter Of the scheme. He it was who
formed the first trust in this country
nearly a century before such monopolies
were dreamed, of. BY imperial permit
Rezanov established the Russo-America
Fur Trading Company in Alaska, crushing
out all competition.
Then he turned his eyes on the fair south
land Of California. What star that rich,
golden. fertile province would be in the
cars diadem and what a land for Rezanov
himself to rule!
. With dreams Of conquest, but diplomatic
discrimination in his every overt act, Rez-
anov landed at San Francisco in April of
1SO8-just one hundred years ago-and there
found all at once that a new element had
entered into the game. This new element
took the form Of a glorious girl, at once
as wise as woman of the world and as
innocent as a ten-year-old child. She was
a paradox. this velvet-eyed, lovely Concha
Arguelio. daughter of the stern old COM
imander Of the fort. She and Rezanov met,
and unexpected, thrilling complications at
once set In.
These complications are wildly depicted
in the first installment Of Gertrude Ather-
tons greatest novel. ..Rezanov," which

A Reasonable Plea
for the Stomach.
If Your Stomach is Lacking in Di-
gestive Power, Why Not Help the
StomachDoIts Work-Especial-
lyWhen 1t Costs Nothing toTry?

Not with drugs but with a reinforcement of
digestive agents, such naturally at work
in the stomach? Scientific analysis shows that
digestion requires pepsn, heterogeneous ferments
and the secretion Of hydrochloric acid. When
your food fails to digest 1t is proof positive that
come OF these agents lacking in your digestive
apparatus.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contain nothing but
these natural elements necessary to digestion and
when placed at work In the weak stomach and
small intestines, supply what these organs need.
They stimulate the gastric glands and gradually
bring the digestive organs back to their normal
condition.
stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have been subjected
to critical chemical tests at home and abroad
and are found to contain nothing but natural d.
gestives.
