IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF


A Wisconsin creamery man says his
company has spent hundreds of dollars
during the last three or four years in
trying to educate farmers how to fur
nish richer cream, but there has been
q: real Improvement.
The quality of cream depends upon
the COWS. Ten years of missionary
work spent upon the owners of the
cows, teaching them how to feed and
care for milk COWS will not be enough
TO help the quality of the cream very
much. What is needed is better breed
ng. If the same time had been spent
IN testing the COWS of the herds, which
furnish cream to this plant, by this
time all the poor creamers would have
Deen welded out. Commence on the
Individual cows. Weigh and test until
you know h actual quality and value
of each cows cream. They use pure
pred bulls which come from rich milk
ing strains. That's the kind Of work
that will improve the quality of cream.

THE PLACE FOR THE DUAL PUR-
POSE COW,

There is one point in all this talk
over dual purpose COWS which nearly
all agree upon, that is, where cows are
Kept for one specific purpose, whether
that be beef or milk, it is better to
stick to a special purpose breed. But
.'or the general farmer who keeps only
4 few cows, mainly for sufficient but
Ter and milk for home use, the dual
purpose COW finds her right place, and
again these dual purpose COWS have a.
place on small farms, where milk or
outter is sold and where a few steers
Ire raised for feeding. This class of
farmers want COWS that can be depend
ed Upon TO give a fair quantity of milk
.or six or sever months and at the
same time bring calves which will
make good beef animals. The old idea
If the dual cow-one that would suclle
4 calf and give a fair mess of milk in
addition, is now out of date. The dual
COW we want now is the one that drops
L beef calf, n then produces the
maximum amount of milk for the
greater number of months, and leave
Us to raise the calf on skim milk.

GROW MORE ALFALFA

Wherever alfalfa can be grown the
COW will make more money for her
owner han any other animal on the
arm. Alfalfa lands are crowding corn
andS in value. n in a few years more
will outstrip them. The culture Of al
ialfa generally means the feeding of

comes the nearest a complete ration of
my crop we grow and it will yield
rom three to six tons of dry nay per
icre during the season. After it be-
comes established it will crowd out
weeds and other grasses. The points
most important to dairymen is that the
accessibility of alfalfa is changed less
by curing than any other crop. and
Tor this reason it makes the ideal feed
For winter. Where dairymen do not
put UP corn silage, alfalfa is h feed
par excellence, in fact many claim that
alfalfa dry hay is as palatabie to the
dairy COW as green grass and as a
year round feed it is equal to the best
Ju11e pasture.
