There is n point in all this talk
ovcr dual purpose cows which nearly
Ill agree o that is. where cows are
Kept for one specific purpose, whether
that be beef or milk. 1t Is better to
stick to a specia! purpose breed. But
sor the general farmer who keeps only
L few cows. mainly for sufficient but
Ter and milk for home use, the dual
purpose COW finds her right place. and
igaln these dual purpose cows have a
place on small farms, where milk or.
outter is sold n 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 seven months and at the
same time bring calves which viii!
make good beef animals. The old idea
If he dual cow-one that would suckle
a calf and give a fair mess of milk in
addition, is now out of date. The dual
cow we want now is the n tina drops

GROIN MORE

Wherever alfalfa can be grown the
sow will make more money for her
owner than any other animal on the
arm. Alfalfa lands are crowding corn
nnds In value. and i'll a few years more
will outstrip them. The culture of all
salfa generally means the feeding Of
:he crop upon the farm where it is
GROWN and the least amount of fertility
$ removed from the land. Alfalfa
comes the nearest a complete ration of
my crop we grow and it will yield
from three to six tons of dry hay per
tcra during the season. After it be-
comes established it will crowd out
weeds and other grasses. The points
most important 10 dalrymen is that the
aiRestihility of alfalfa is changed less
oy curing than any other crop. and
Tor this reason it makes the ideal feed
.or winter. Where dairymen do not
put up corn silage, alfalfa is the feed
par excellence. in fact many claim that
alfalfa dry hay is as palatabte to the
1a1ry COW as green grass II as a

WHEN no PLow 500

The damage done by cut worm.
has become so alarming in some Sec
lions that the question has arisen
whether the practice of turning over
the sod in the spring has not some-
thing to do with it. Some figure out
that by allowing their sod ground to
stand over, they get the full value Of
the late pasture. Sod ground. should
be turned in the fall. Make 1T as late
as you Want. but get it turned before
the ground freezes up. This Late plow-
ing will enable one to get the fun
worth OF the late fall growth, and
the ground is In just the condition to
weather til! spring. If there wei e no
other reason, fall blowing is better.
as it will help get rid of the cut worms
II other insects which have been
hurting corn during the last four or
V years. Many complain that their
soils are not as nice to work as they
we're several years ago. That. no
doubt, is due to the system of plow-
ing and cultivation. We do too much
spring blowing, With the result that
the Seed bed is spongy Or sosgy all
through the summer. Turn under the
sod this fall, and then disc next spring.
That's the place to expect the bumper
yield of corn.

IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF
CREAM

A Wisconsin creamery man says his
company has spent hundreds of dollars
turing h last three or four years in
trying to educate farmers how to fur
dish richer cream. but there has been
90 real Improvement.
The quality OF cream depends upon
the COWS. Ten years of missionary
work spent upon the 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
Ing. II the same time had been spent
testing the cows Of the herds. which
furnish cream to this plant. by his
lime all the poor creamers would nave
been weeded out. Commence on the

you know the actual quality and value
pf each cows cream. They use pure
bred bulls which come from rich milk
ing strains. That's the kind Of work
that will improve the quality of cream.
