Dairy Talk of Today

What are the cows worth that pro-
duce 400 pounds Of butter per annun ?
Here / am going to make a statement
and undertake to prove it correct.
When the cow that produces 200 pounds
Of butter per annum at a food cost Of
$50 and a labor cost of $12.5s is worth
$S5, the COW that produces 400 pounds
Of butter annually is worth $500 and
the owner al make net $40 more from
her after paying the interest on his
800 than he can from the cows that
produce 200 pounds Of butter.-H. B.
Gurler.
Grading Cream.
Bulletin No. 1876, on grading cream,
describes a system that has been In
operation at the experiment station of
the state agricultural college, Manhat-
tan, Kan. Instead Of paying the same
price for bad cream as for good a diff
ference is made which rewards the
farmer who handles his cream proper
ly. This will improve the general quail
ity of the cream delivered and enable
good butter to be made. The system
Is one which in principle should be
adopted everywhere.
wiping the Cows Udder.
The experiments carried on at the
Storrs experiment station in Connect
cut on the effect Of wiping the cows
udder before milking with a damp
cloth are very interesting and instruc-
tive. These experiments show that the
bacteria contained in the milk of q
COW with unwiped udder numbered
TOSS per cubic centimeter. When the
udder and flank had been thoroughly
wiped the bacteria were reduced to
Tie. So simple a thing as this wiping
process, II II will do such work. is GER
tainly worth remembering and practic-
ing at every milking.
Loss Of Ammenia From Manure
Experiments by II. Bjorn-Andersen
demonstrated that by adding super
phosphate 4 per cent Of the weight of
the liquid the loss of ammonia
was entirely prevented. The liquid ex-
crement of q thousand pound cow
amounts to about twenty pounds daily.
hence II we use about q pound Of su-
perphosphate for every animal daily
and otherwise manage correctly we
may save practically all the manure.
A much ~ 70 per cent Of the nitrogen
Of the liquid manure may be voiatilized
and lost. The value Of the nitrogen in
twenty pounds Of liquid weddings II 81
cents. and 20 per cent OF this II ~
csnts. The cost Of the superphosphate
to save this would be Just half Z cent.
and the net gain on the invsstrnent
would bs 225 per cent. placing no value
whatever on the phosp6orus In the So
pirphosphats.

New Land Requires More water
Thau Cultivated Fields.
BY SAMUEL FoRTIER.

BY fOHTlER.
The subsoils Of western lands when
nrst brought under irrigation contain
little moisture. The most striking char
acteristics OF these formations are their
great depths and the close similarity
which exists between the surface and
subsurface layers. Apart from their
darker color. due to decayed vegetable
matter. there Is little to distinguish top
soils from bottom soils, and the roots
Of plants extend to great depth through
the latter. On account OF these pre-
vailing physical features a large part
Of the water which IN applied for the
lrst few seasons In absorbed. Cases
are common in which new land has alb
sorbed In m season n quantity Of wa
ter which would have covered the sur
face to a depth Of six feet. To claim
that this large volume correctly epre-
sents the duty for such land is a mis-
representation, because the open space
In the subsoil Is gradually filed with
water and the ground water level In
time rises nearer the surface. 1t Is a
fact, however, that new land requires
much more water per acre than old
cultivated fields. and crops are likely
to suffer II IL Is not supplied.
Good bitches and LateraIs.
Other conditions being similar, less
water will be used on a farm which
has a good system of bitches and later
ais and q well cultivated, even surface.
The beginner Is not always posted as
to the best way to lay out and build
farm bitches, and he may not possess
sufficient means to properly prepare his
fields for irrigation. These defects In
variably prove quite costly In the end.
when measured In waste Of water and
small yields. In an arid country thor
ough cultivation serves q double pur-
pose In that Il increases the yield and
prevents the escape Of water into the
atmosphere. Grading or ~levsling the
surface IL even more important since
II y dif1cult TO apply water to an un-
even surface, the growth Of the crop Ia
not uniform and the soil In the low
places is likely to be damaged by an
excess Of water.
Maturing Crops Under Irrigation.
The time necessary to mature plants
differs. Under favorable conditions q
crop Of alfalfa can be grown In less
than ffty days, a crop Of barley In
something over a hundred days, while
It may require 100 days to ripen GER
tain varieties Of fruit. There Ia not
only a difference In the period Of
growth, but in the number Of crops
grown In one season.

Sugar from pumpkins Will be the
next source Of wealth which will be
developed in Iowa, for the authorities
at the agricultural college declare high
grade sugar will be made from them

contains A per cent Of sugar, and 1t 10

sugar element will be increased to IL

Of sugar found in the best variety Of

lily raised and a tonnage may be pro-
duced to the acre which will exceed

pumpkin will open up q valuable field
