Cows Have OF Years.
While records of dairy cows for a
full year are valuable. records for a
series of years are still better. Dairy
cows have their of years. and this
must be considered when cows having
poor records are being dropped from
the herd II this fact is not borne in
mind there is danger of selling the
best cows. Attention Is called to q
COW, Sweet Briar, OF the Minnesota ex-
pertinent station that produced for ten
years an average of 358.07 pounds of
butter a year. while In 1893 she pro-
duced only 2O6.O6 pounds Of butter. in
1859 she made 308.53 pounds and In
1907 37053 pounds.
n the merits of Sweet Briar had
been wholly based on the work she did
In 1893, she would possibly have been
dropped from the herd. The great value
of scales and the Babcock test lies in
their continued use In the dairy herd
It sometimes happens that promising
heifers do very poorly the first year.
In such cases the beifer's Individuality
together with her breeding. should be
considered before disposing of her, and
records for series Of years should be

good COW seldom has two Off years In
succession. Clarence B. Lane.
s... The Labor Involved.
The question will be raised at once as
to the immense amount of labor In
voived in keeping up records Of this
character. or course those used by the
experiment station are much more elab-
crate than would be needed on an ordi-
nary farm. In discussing experimental
results. however. the most careful and
accurate dealing with large number
Of individuals and covering long pc
RODS Of time is absolutely necessary

The labor OF maintaining accurate rec
ords OF large number Of animals Is
simply enormous and cannot be appre-
ciated except by those who have had
practical experience An adding ma
chine Of the type in use here will effect
saving In clerical labor that would
amount to great deal In the course of
a year, The slide rule VIII also be
found wonderfully. helpful In this re-
spect, and It can fortunately be pur-
chased at q reasonable price. Virginia

RECORDS In
THE DAIRY.

The effort to interest dairymen In
the returns from their individual cows
continues, and many farmers seem to
be awakening to the fact that the i'm
provement Of the whole herd demands
the study Of the unit-that Is, close
acquaintance with the expenditure
upon the individual COW and the re-
turns therefr0m.
This can be determined In no other
way than by keeping an exact record
Of the daily milk yield. A record Of
the daily food consumption would also
be of great use If 1t could be kept.
Many farmers who have been keep
ing such records for some time report
very strongly In favor of this kind OF
work.
As soon as the farmer sets to work
to know what his cows are doing by
keeping record he finds himself
much more closely in touch with his
business. He sees at once the effect
Of, better care and better feeding. He
notes the great difference In returns
between the best and the worst cows
In his herd and cannot help but deter
mine to get rid of the poor ones and
replace them with good ones.
Even the poor cows are improved,
because better feeding Is almost GER
tain to be tried. and quite certainly
poor feeding Is responsible for many
of our Improbable dairy cows and
even for many Improbable dairy
herds
The profitable dairy COW must give
over 5000 pounds of milk each year.
To know the value Of COW her total
annual yield OF milk must be known
The only way to know this is to keep
a record Of her daily milk yield.
Such records are being kept by hun
dreds of successful dairymen today
For weighing the milk simple
spring balance may be secured.-J. Fl.
Grisdale.

ing for a more adequate protection OF
the birds that are such good friends OF
man and particularly of the farmer
and gardener Our friend points out
that 1t Is the unemployed fool with
the gum" young AID old, from the
towns and villages rather than resi-
dents of the country that does the most
damage In destroying helpful bird life.
and the point II. one that In most In
stances Will have to be admitted.
While processing friendship for bird
life In general she In common with
other students draws the line on the
English sparrow Us an all around nui-
sance, as 1t consumes comparatively
few insects, destroys the eggs and
nests of other useful birds and. above
all, il spreader of diseases In Its ca
pacity as scavenger of the animal ex-
crement In poultry and barn yards.
The point would seem to be very well
taken-one that should provide still
further argument In favor of extermi-
mating the English sparrow. In whose
favor the only thing that can be said
lis that he Is plllcky chap and stays
with us through the winter months.
Our correspondent cites the fact that,
nesting AZ they do In old straw plies
and sheds here. the children may find
their nests and easily destroy them,
while she refers f6 an article In Bird
Lore In which the writer recommends
trapping them In the common cage
rat traps, In the 'out of sight" traps
and by smudging the birds with sui
phur fumes while they are at roost
under straw sheds In the winter
months The birds will drop and can
be disposed Of In a pail Of water be-
fore they come to. The best friends
Of bird life recognize the English spar
row as one of the worst foes they have
to contend with and will favor almost
any method by which nc can DO ex-
terminated. We are pleased to pre-
sent the above suggestions and would
be pleased to hear from any other
reader who may have discovered ef-
fective means Of dlsposing OF the spar

SHOULD sE MORE HEDoERows.

II Is firm conviction OF the writer
that there ought to be more hedgerows
than there are on central western
farms, for when grown they not only
serve as fence which win turn live
stock, but provide birds which nest Id
shrubs the best possible protection dur
Ing the summer season. OF all his
friends in. the animal kingdom outside
of the farm animals none render the
farmer more valuable service than the
many birds which range over his land,
and he Is not only doing them kinds
ness, but helping himself In a very
definite fashion, IL he SO manages
things that they can have a. many
nesting places as possible.

The farmer and gardener, even
though he may not have an aesthetic
taste which would cause him to pro
tect bird life for Its sake alone, If he
has but thought for the size OF his
pocketbook will do all he can to shield
the birds of the community In which
he lives from their many enemies,
Never before has the place Of the birds
In the system Of natures economy
been more fully appreciated than now
