LABOR SAVING
Machinery Now Does Much Work on
the Dairy Farm.

the
The success of the milking machine
completes the cycle of labor saving APP
paratus on the dairy farm. One may
now pillow the land with a riding sulky
pillow drawn by horses or traction
motor rework il with riding harrow,
planter, do much OF the cultivating
with a machine upon which he rides,
drawn by horses, and cut the slage
corn with horse harvester. The bun
dies or stalks must be lifted by hand
upon the low down wagon, hauled to
the silo and fed into a cutter operated
by gasoline engine. This cutsAstalks
and ears into pieces, say, quarter Of
an inch long, which are conveyed up in
to the silo by an automatic CARRIER.
Haying and silage Apparatus.
Hay is likewise cut, harvested and
baled by machinery. Then for feeding
the silage is shoveled into a tank that
runs upon an overhead track in front
of the COWS. and suitable feed is
deposited in front Cf each cow. Hay is
brought from. the bay 10 the COW
stable by an adaptation of the horse
fork. The milking machine has done
away with the drudgery of that
operation. The machine is washed by
power, and milk cans and pals are
sterllized with Il steam jet after being
perfectly cleaned by the improved
washing powder in the water.
Handling Bedding and Manure.
The bedding used for COWS is run
through power cutter so that it is fine
and absorbs all the urine. The cows
droppings and soaked bedding are
shoveled into tank or carrier that is
lowered to the floor while being filled,
then rises to its track above and runs d.
rect to the manure spreader, into which
the contents are automatically dumped.
Horses haul the spreader to the field,
and the manure is at once applied

Dairy Talk Of Today

A successful Ohio dairywoman says:
Il think there is no other branch Of
farming where brains count for so
much as in dairying., There are great
| possibilities for the dairyman of to-
day if he will only apply the right
principles in breeding, feeding and
care Of the dairy cow"
Get the Best.
After raising 200 calves in twenty
six years l find myself learning some
new things every year, also learning
some old lessons over and over. One
lesson l do not forget is that the
mother and the sire must both be the
best we can get, either by raising or
buying. of the same breed and noted
for their constitutional vigor, which is
the chief cornerstone of success.-Mas-
sachusetts Dairyman. ..,.. -
At the Front.
The unprogressive dairyman fails to
realize that the dairy world not only
''do move" but is rapidly advancing.
Perhaps he is one of the best of the
old school, yet is at the tag end of the
procession of modern Improvement,
whereas If he would get out among
the alert dairymen Of the present and
imbibe the newer ideas he might he
easily leader in the front Of modern
dairy progress.-B. Benjamin, Jr.
Uniform Quality In Cheese.
The question Of how to obtain a
clean, mild favored cheese all the time
is one of the very important consid-
erations in solving the problem of get
ting the people to eat more cheese.
The Milking Machine.
Now that the milking machine APP
pears to be an assured success 1t puts
new face upon the whole business.
Any man familiar with live stock grow
ing is free to admit that in no line of
stock handling is there so good an OPP
portunity for money making as that
Of dairying, the serious objections to
it being its everlasting 800 days year
job. There is no let up, we may say,
night or day, Sabbaths or holidays.
All means hard and persistent work
in the dairy. But when you come to
think of it, what kind of work can you
engage In and make money at it that
Is not an everlasting job without let

building Up n Dairy Herd.
At present there are two distinct
phases of building up a dairy herd.
First, there is the building up of the
dairy herd of pedigreed animals of
some distinct breed, and second, there
is the building up Of a herd of useful
milk producers by Il system of upgrad-
ing which ought to he so conducted
as to lead up 10 the former. We are
of necessity forced to build up dairy
herds, first. because few dairymen at
The beginning of these operations have

ELGIN DAIRY FARMING.
The system of Rented Farms Makes
Money For Owner and Tenant

Most of the farms in the Elgin dis
trict, Illinois, are rented, and the sys-
tenn of renting is money making one
for both landowner and tenant and
has oendency to constantly make the
land more productive. Several land
owners who have grown too old to
work their farms themselves and who
have moved into town and rent their
lands have told me that their farms
were producing more than when they
worked them themselves, and some
have said that their land produces
more today than II did forty years ago,
when the prairie sod was first broken
The business is milk producing. The
owner of the land furnishes the land,
buildings, permanent equipment, like
shafting and engine, and the cows.
The tenant furnishes teams, nipple
ments and labor. The crops grown Oh
the farm are fed, and one-half the cost
of all feed purchased is paid by the
owner of the land and one-half by the
tenant. Each stands one-half of the
loss caused by the death OF animals
when dry COWS are sold and fresh ones
purchased in their places. The tenant
spreads all the manure on the land and
keeps an agreed number of acres seed
ed to grass and clover. The cost OF the
feed bought off the farm is deducted
from the amount received from sales,
and the balance of the money is divid-
ed equally between the owner of the
land and tenant, settlement being made
monthly.
Equal Interests.
The advantages Of the Elgin system
Of renting farms are that landlord and
tenant are alike interested in securing
the greatest net profits from the farm
and that whatever increases or de-
creases the profits of one will equally
increase or decrease the profits of the
other. The owner Of the farm fur
nishes the best COWS that he can Sc
cure, because they pay best. He fur
nishes good barns and yards, because
the better shelter and surroundings the
cows have the more they will yield for
each ton of feed eaten. The tenant
takes the best care of the cows, be-
cause neglect lowers the yield, and
whenever a COW dies or loses a quarter
or wears out and has to be sold half of
the loss comes out of his pocket. The
tenant manures the land and works il
to get the largest crops he can, because
every extra dollars worth of feed
raised makes a dollar less to be spent
in buying feed and adds dollar to the
profits. Landlord and tenant are equal
~ interested in buying feed that will
make the greatest net profit and con-
suit together as to what feed to buy to
mix with that which grows on the
farm to return the most money
Most of the milk produced is sold TO
the Bordens. This requires high
quality Of product and insures good
prices, and every tenant is anxious to
keep more cows rather than less.-H.

To obtain satisfactory results silage
must be In perfect condition when fed.
Since fermentation soon takes place
when silage is exposed to the air the
silo should not be OF too great di-
ameter. Not more than eight square
feet of surface should be allowed for
each COW In winter; then, when feed
ing forty pounds of silage per cow. a
layer about one and one-half inches
deep should be fed Off daily. When
silage is fed in summer II is advisable
that the exposed area be not over half
this size, so that layer three inches
deep may be used daily. However
much stock is TO be fed, silo twenty
TO twenty-five feet in diameter is as
large as should be built If silo is
of greater diameter than this, much OF
the silage is at too great a distance
from the door, increasing the labor Of
removal.
The deeper the silo the greater the
pressure and the more compactly will
the silage be pressed together, hence
the larger the amount that can be
stored per cubic foot. For example, a
silo twenty feet I'm diameter and forty
feet deep will hold twice as much as
one of the same diameter and twenty
five feet deep. This shows the econ
omy Of reaonably deep silos. To be
well proportional the height should
not be more than twice the diameter.
No silo should be less than thirty feet
deep, and to get sufficient depth for a
silo not over twelve feet in diameter it
may be placed four or five feet in the
ground
siIo Building In Brief.
Wall of the Silo.-To preserve the
silage perfectly the silo wall must be
rigid and air tight
Location.-That the labor of feeding
may be reduced to the minimum the
silo should be placed as near the man
ger as possible

sible TO construct square wood silo

SUPREME COURT
OPINION TODAY.
Willard Hutchins, Convicted Of
Burglary, Is Given New
Trial.
EVIDENCE WAS INSUFFICIENT
To Warrant the Defendant Being
Found Guilty Therefore Judgment
or Lower Court is Reversed.

The supreme court today handed
down an opinion reversing the judg-
ment of the lower court In the case OF
the state of Utah against Willard
Hutchlngs and remanding the case to
the lower court with instructions to
grant new trial. Hutchings was con-
victed OF burglary In Utah county and
was sentenced to term In the state
prison. on appeal the contention was
raised that the evidence was insufficient,
to warrant a conviction. This conten-
ton Is sustained By the supreme court.
Hutchlngs was charged with burglar
lzing a chicken house belonging to Kar-
en- Jensen Of Pleasant Green on the
night OF Dec. 10. 1904 The evidence
showed that a barn adjoining the chick.
EN- house was destroyed by fire on tbs
night In question. and the only evidence
against the defendant was that he had
been seen driving along a nearby road
about the time the fire occurred. II
VAS not shown that he had any chick
ems in his buggy or that the buggy had
been at the scene OF the fre. An ON.
Ger testified that Hutchings admitted
his guilt and wanted to plead guilty L.
petit larceny and pay for the chickens
In order to avoid prosecution for burg.
larry.
Hutchings proved by the evidence OF
his wife and her mother that he was at
the latter's home on the night IN ques-
tlon. Chief Justice Bartch, In del'rer-
ing the opinion of the supreme court,
holds that the evidence was insufficient
10 warrant a conviction and further
that the evidence was insufficient TO
prove that the crime charged had been
committed by any one. As TO the ver-
bal admission OF guilt OH the part OF
Hutchings the court holds that II
should have been received with great
caution, as the memory of the officer
might have been defective In regard TO
the statements made by the accused.
The judgment OF the lower court Is re-
versed and new trial ordered. JUS
tees McCarty and Straup concur IN the
decision
