serious consideration the buying OF

successful.

WEED OUT THE ROBBERS
G. LARSON, Iowa College of Agriculture

There are more than a million cows in
Iowa and they are valued at thirty millions
of dollars. The average production of but
ter fat by each cow is only lao pounds per
year The butter fat at twenty cents per
pound would make the value for each COW S
product of fat only S28. Her skim milk
and calf would bring her earning capacity
to about S38 per year.
AS it is estimated that here in the Central
West it costs about $40 a year to keep
COW it will be seen that on an average there
is very little profit in keeping any kind of
a cow that does not produce more than the
average Iowa now produces.
1t has been proven that by proper breed
ing and selection the average COW be made
to yield between 400 and 500 pounds Of but
ter fat per year. In order to find out how
much a cow produces it is necessary to
weigh her milk and take samples for fat
determination.
1t is not necessary to test at each milking
because the average can be ascertained by
occasional testing The simplest method is
to test and weigh the milk from each COW
every thirteenth week, the first test to begin
the sixth week after calving and to last
week. The results to be obtained during the
week to be representative of what the
cow would do six weeks previous and SIX
weeks subsequent to the week of the test.
In this way the Improbable cows may De
discovered and weeded out.
II cow does not produce 200 pounds of
butter fat every year she should be disposed
Of because she cannot be kept at a profit.
Calves should not be raised from such cows,
because their calves will be poor producers.
Farmers in the great corn belt have not
as vet paid very much attention to this mat
ter, because dairying has been only sort OF
adjunct to general farming. But as land is
becoming more valuable every year it means
that we must adopt methods of farming
which more profitable. All these things
indicate that more intensive farming must
be practced. The most intensive farming is
dairying, and if the right kind of cows are
kept it is profitable.

WANT A GOOD BROOD SOW?
o. S WEST, Iowa

In making my selections for a young
gilt for brood sow look back to her an
traits of the family. If any of the past
generations are shy breeders and the gilt
is not an extraordinary individual, con-
denim her at once. On the other Il 1i,1 han ma
not too shunky a type, she is given trial.

not to be carried away with the pretty

The back should be arched trife and

In mating gifts of my ideal type I prefer
to use a boar with trife more COM
pactness, with as much style and action as
can be bundled up into his skin.
l am opposed to severe crosses, such as
using a rough boar on small fine brood
1t is best, on account OF blood lines:
that young sows should be mated TO old
boars and the older sows should be mated
with younger male.
NV experience and observation on these
lines have been this: That as rule a
young male will not secure as large lit
ter, hence the pigs grow large. and young
sows bred to young boars will have trouble
more frequently than when mated with an
older male. The litter from an old hog
usually are larger, hence the pigs are
smaller when narrowed.
Above all things breeders should avoid
all extremes in type to be mated, and if
the mating runs back to the same blood
lines three or four generations, SO much
the better, providing there is violent de-
feet in the specimens crossed. Should this
be the case it will intensity the defect.
To secure success in mating breeding ami
mails, make no violent outcross of individ-
uals. This will give uniformity in the
general appearance that is so much desired

RIGHT CARE OF SHEEP
AMERICAN FARM WORLD

The ram is the main thing. Unless the
head of the flock is everything he should
be, it will be impossible to breed up to
the highest standard.
In selecting the ram, look for conforma-
ton rather than size. Some big rams
are very poor breeders. The ram should be
and strong in bone. He should have
well shaped head and clean cut all
around maAe-up.
If you are near a good, big market for
lambs Southdowns about the most
profitable sheep to raise.
The man who goes into sheep raising for
market ought to buy a few of the best
pure bred ewes he can afford. Get the best,
even if you must limit the number. You
can then fill in with good grade ewes that
will not cost much but which Will brlng

Breed the grade ewes to the pure bred

improve.
into the pure bred ewes well, and every
lamb that is not up to the mark should be
disposed Of Keep only the ea best d,1f II your
if pure bred, should go to the block.
Sell the pure bred rams for breeding
purposes, as they will always bring good
prices.
Breed the pure bred ewes when about a
year old, and always select the best of their
lambs to be added to the Hock.
1t is interesting work, this breeding up
flock of pure blood sheep, and it pays ex-
cellently well for the time and money spent.
In fact, there is not another animal which
the of moderate means can raise that
will do the farm as much good and bring
in as much clean money.
