SOME THINGS ABOUT DAIRYNG IN UTAH

| Utah about 100, 900 cows which are not
being MIXED, the question now before
| the dairymen is not so much that of
| increasing the number of dairy cows
as it is to improve those which are al
ready used for dairy purposes.
Through judicious selection and breed
| ing from the best cows, by the use of
good dairy sire, and culling out the
Improbable cows, the production from
| the same number of cows could be d0u-
bled in a relatively few years. Each
COW in Utah produces on an average
about 1876 pounds of butter fat per year.
Many common COWS yearly produce
about 300 pounds of butter fat, and
some considerably more. There are a
| few cows in the United States which
produce as much as 900 pounds of but
ter fat annually. The writer mentions
this to show the room there is for i'm
provement, and the possibilities of add
ing to the profit from dairy COWS prac-
tically without spending or investing
an additional dollar
Great things can be accomplished
through judicious Selection and breed
ing. This is true in the plant as well
as in the animal kingdom. The differ
ent typical breeds of cattle have been
produced by this method.
The native COW was neither a beef
nor dairy cow She was rough in
build rugged in constitution, a rustler
for feed, and produced only milk
enough to feed her young. From such
an animal as foundation stock, sew
eral breeds of highly developed beef
cattle have been produced. Most of
these convert nearly all their feed into
body fat. and little or none is used for
milk. Some of these have lost the
natural maternal quality of supplying
even enough milk for their calves. It
is necessary to keep a separate nurse
COW to suckle their young.
From the same native type several
breeds of highly developed dairy types
have also sprung. The Jersey cows.
the Guernsey COWS, the Holstein cows.
the Ayrshire cows, all are highly de-
veloped dairy animals. Of course, in
each breed are found some poor milk
producers, but as a class they are prof
liable producers. Some have been de-
veloped along dairy lines to such an
extent that it is practically impossible
to get them to lay ON fat They stay
skin poor" and practically all of the
feed eaten is converted into milk. This
is an example of the other extreme. as
cOntrasted with the above Illustration
of beef cattle.
These cases are mentioned in order
to illustrate what may be accomplished
in the way of improving our common
daily COWS through selection and breed
ing, and culling out poor ones. If the
farmers in Cache valley, Salt Lake
valley, or any other community, had
! given their attention years ago and
| bred along one certain line, and not
| indiscriminately mixed the breeds. they

any other place famous for dairy cattle.
Results in breeding do not come in
one day. 1t takes years of intelligent
| effort. The sooner the work is begun
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1906-12-30

the sooner will the results and benefits
be III evidence. A certain ideal needs
to be kept in mind. Without such an
ideal no definite results can be OBJ
tanned When the ideal (the breed type,
the color, the form, productive capacity,
etc.. has been established and the
breeding and selection made according
ly, each succeeding generation will
gradually approach this ideal.
The proper feed and care of dairy
COW is important, and should not be
overlooked. since a dairy COW needs the
best of care and feed. This should,
however. be secondary to breeding and
selection, since it is impossible to make
a good, profitable dairy animal out of
naturally poor COW through proper
feed and care. but on the other hand. a
good, profitable cow with good inher-
tied milking qualities, may be easily
made an Improbable COW through i'm
proper feed and care.
Dairy Products.
So far as known cream, butter,
cheese and condensed milk are the only
dairy products manufactured within
the state OF Utah. Much milk and cream
are consumed directly. A large portion
of these products go directly into the
consumption channels, being used on
The farm where produced. or else sold
in large cities for direct use. This con-
stitutes considerable of the dairy bust
ness. According to the best obtain
able data, about one-third of all the
milk and cream produced are consumed
in this form.
Some years ago it required consider
able effort and time to produce good
cream. The gravity system of separI-

The dairymen of Utah are especially
most favorable natural conditions for
dairying. The best of climate prevails
in all the agricultural communities OF
the state. The winters are short and
not too cold, and the summers are ideal
The soils In the various valleys are fer
tile and in most instances they yield
an abundance of ideal feed for cows,
such as lucern, hay and various other
grasses. Barley, oats, wheat and other
cereals grow in abundance within the
state. There are no insects, beetles or
pests of serious nature to prey upon
the cows. Plenty of cold, fresh, spark
ling streams of water are found in
nearly all parts of Utah. The natural
conditions for dairying in Utah are as
favorable as any place in the world,
and few places can boast Of being sur
rounded with so many natural ideal
dairy conditions.
Since the valleys of Utah possess ali
of these favorable natural advantages,
we would expect that the dairy indus
try should flourish, and so 1t does In
many sections of the state. The dairy
industry compares favOrably with any
other phase or branch of agriculture
within the state, and when we con-
slider the per cent of tillable land in the
state, 1t compares favorahly with any
other state in the union.
Milk Production.
The dairy business may be said to
comprise the following two chief
phases:
/. Production of milk
2. Manufacture of dairy products.
l. To produce milk three chief agen-
cies are essential: ca the COW. OBJ feed,
(c) man.
According to recent statistics gath
cred by Hon. ]. Peterson, state dairy
and food commissioner, there are in
Utah 74,430 cows used for dairy pur-
poses. These cows produce each day
about II pounds of milk each, which
would make a total of 250, 0S4. 500 pounds
or 1.26O, 600 gallons Of milk, worth
about two million dollars.
In producing this much milk, each
COW win consume approximately "a
tons of hay and 1000 pounds of grain.
and about four months of pasture.
This means that Us, 632 tons of hay,
1926 tons of grain, and 297,720 months
of pasture for one COW were converted
by the Utah dairy COWS into milk.
According to the Twelfth United
States statistics, there are 19. sS7 farms
in Utah. OF these 1881 are reported
as being in the dairy business. This
would indicate that the "a, 430 dairy
COWS are distributed among the 1851
dairy farmers, which would make an
average of more than four cows per
dairy farmer. 1t should be stated in
this connection that there are many
beef COWS in the state besides the dairy
COWS referred to above. 1t viii thus
he seen that 1851 men with their fani-
lies are directly interested in the dairy
COW and dairy business.

the income is sure, and can be made
uniform through the year, thus ena-
bling a farmer to plan ahead and be
independent. Dairy products can be
produced at one season as we'll as the
other, and as rule are sold on an open
competitive market, and consumed at
one time as well as the other. This can
not be said of all other branches OF
farming. In many instances incomes
are by seasons. Perhaps once per year,
and perhaps once every two or three
years, and the market price is In a
measure controlled. Under such a con-
dition times often become hard, money
scarce, and there are periodical and all
ternating periods of depression and
prosperity. Such q condition depr1ves
a community of good natural and
healthy growth, while intelligent dairy
ing gives profitable employment during
the winters, when labor is plentiful and
cheap, as we'll as any other season Of
the year and, relatively speaking, there
is little risk TO run in dairying and res
turns are immediate.
