Vhoa Dairy COVE Product.
The products of the dairy COW are
fourfold. The first and chief product
is, naturally, the milk which she Sc
cretes. and which is used as milk, or,
for butter or cheese making, The sec;
ond product is calves which she bears
and which may be Of more orr less
value. Third, the carcass OF beef which
she viii yield when she Is no longer
useful for the production of milk
should be taken into account. Lastly
the manure she produces is Of consld-
cradle value.
We may call the milk the main prod
uct and the calves, beef and manure
the lby-products Of the dairy COW. It
has been asserted TINT the milk product
is the only thing that should be taken
into; consideration in estimating the
value Of the dairy COW, and that the
calves and beef should be entirely ig-
snored by a successful dairyman, but
In these days Of strong competition 1t
Is not possible to ignore the by-prod-
ucts, and In any scheme of successful
dalrying the calves and beef at least
should be taken into consideration.
This does not mean that in any case
milk producing qualities are to be
sacrificed for the sake of the by-prod-
ucts.
It simply mems that of two animals
of equal value for the production Of
milk the one that will give the greater
return In production Of calves and
value of carcass is more profitable.

The hay crop is one of the principal.
products Of the farm. In 1905 there
were raised 57,145, 059 tons Of hay,
valued at $780,, $50, 81, while the wheat
crop the same year had value Of
$3.50, 332. 76O Hay enters largely into
the live stock industry and is a lead
ing commercial product in supplying
the consumption Of horses In cities.
Hay maintains parity of value with.
corn and oats for feeding operations
and is usually fed in the proportions
of one and half to two pounds to a
hundred pounds live weightcof animals.
Hay Is regarded as roughage and is
necessary In animal husbandry to
equalize the concentrated nutrlments OF

Seven years ago Mrs. Jennie r. Cass
found herself confronted with the prob
lem of bringing up and educating SIX
children on fifty acres Of poor land in
North Carolina. Besides her land and
little house she possessed an aged
horse and mule, one COW, twenty-five
chickens and three razor-back hogs.
She decided to raise peanuts and be-
gan reading everything on the subject
she could procure. She was wise
enough to know her soil was poor and
she began system OF rotation Of crops,
gradually increasing her acreage Of pea,
nuts. Now she has twenty five devoted
to them.
During the seven years she has not
only succeeded In keeping her children
in school, but now she has five blooded
horses, a herd of registered cows and a
small flock OF well-bred sheep. On the
little farm she raises all the bacon,
butter, eggs, poultry, breadstuffs, corn
and forage which her family or her
stock require. She is in good circum.

An English stock journal tells Of a
famous veterinary surgeon who was
once called on to decide question
OF blindness In Horse, concerning
which two London vets differed. He
entered the yard where the horse stood
and, without examining the animals
eyes, ordered a halter to be put on him
and an empty bucket to be placed In
the middle of the yard. Then taking
the halter he led the horse In direct
line for the bucket. The horse went
forward and Numbered over 1t with
his forelegs. Blind, without doubt"
was the verdict.
