WHAT is YOUR cow WORTH
Take Time to Figure Out Her Value
10 You.

We wish we could get every farmer
and every farmers son to take day
of and figure out what his COW is
worth. That. of course, depends on
what you have in view in keeping
her. what work you expect her to do.
II you are milking her and she gives
140 pounds or less of butter fat. il is
very easy to determine what she is
worth for that purpose On lands in
the corn belt it will cost from SIS to
$50 TO keep a COW during the year. If
she does not give more than that value
in butter fat. then for daily purposes
she is not worth a nickel We give
the cost as above. because we notice
that in the COW censuses that have
been taken that is the estimated price
given by their keepers.
A COW not worth a nickel for dairy
purposes had best be allowed to raise
her calf; and then the question IS
whether that calf at weaving time will
be worth $50. Ordinarily II will be
worth from $40 to SIS. Therefore the
question whether II pays to keep an
average cow for the chance of an
average calf on lands in the corn belt
is easily determined.
Suppose however. she gives 200
pounds OF butter fat and il is worth
one year with another % cents a
pound. Then your COW is making you
a profit in butter TAT of about ten
dollars year and giving YOU a calf.
which, after deducting the cost OF
feeding IL until il is six months old
Is worth $40 TO SIP. Then you have
the skim-milk. say 1000 pounds. worth
from 10 to 20 cents per 100 pounds. de-
pending on the price of corn. or from
six to ten dollars. You will have the
manure, which If properly cared for is
worth six dollars a year II your COW
gives still larger amount OF butter
fat than this YOU can very easily esti-
mate the profit.
What we are aiming at now. says
Wallace's Farmer. is to get farmers
10 thinking about this question:
What is your COW worth? How are
you to find out? Why. there is only
one way; and that is TO take time TO
weigh the milk often enough to de-
termine how much each cow gives
during the year. and then test It often
enough 90 determine the actual amount
OF butter fat fs4ch gives. II we can
only get YOU fdo this the rest will
be easy. but until farmers who are
pretending 10 dairy at all take this
matter up and determine what the cow
is worth IL Is useless to expect any
great Improvement in the dairy bust
ness.

DAIRY DolNos.

DO not Try 20 milk COW by squeez-
ing her horns. Always do your milk
ing at the udder end
A good feed for young calves Is ten
pounds blood meal FIVE pounds bone
meal and 20 pounds each OF oil meal,
oatmeal and cornmeal.
To make dairy herd profitable the
feed is only half. The method and
regularity Of care with the comfort
OF the animals is Of equal il not OF
greater importance.
When butter does not come the diff
hculty is usually due 20 one OF two
things. Either the cream is not sour
enough, or it's temperature is too low.
If you have a good churn you can
usually make butter In half an hour
If these two points are right
Two pounds OF milk can be pro
duced by the aid OF silage as a dairy
feed, where on any other system
which does not include fresh pasture
one pound would be the limit Care
must be used in feeding silage, but the
difficulty is not so much with the
silage as with sour and spoiled rem
nants left In feeding utensils. The
best ration for dry COW is corn siiage
and alfalfa. and when she becomes
fresh continue to feed these with six
or eight pounds of grain daily.

sollina Cows.

This term is one not very widely un.
derstood. II refers TO keeping the
COWS on small area and cutting and
bringing their food to them. instead
OF permitting them TO run in the pas
ture. The advantage OF this system
is that 1t gets the greatest possible
amount OF feed from an acre OF land.
The COWS do not have the chance to
trample out much of the heritage. It's
great disadvantage is that IL is labor
ious and the cost for help is great In
this country IL has not yet been ex-
tensively pracuced because land has
been cheap and labor high In Europe
where land has been high in price and
labor low. the soiling system has been
extensively practiced. BY II the farm
er loses what is so important now in
this country, the saving of having his
grass crop harvested by the animals
themselves

Txpe In palrx RreedInn

Every breeder OF dairy COWS should
have in his mind an ideal type towards
which he should be constantly NOV.
ing. Most dairy breeding is done with.
out reference 70 any type. Any kind
OF COW is bred to any kind OF bull,
and the result is any kind OF a type
of calf. We will never get good dairy
cows OF uniform type until breeders
become more particular as to the kind
OF dairy cows they intend TO raise.
When type is paid more attention 10,
the best bulls and the cows OF the
best type viii sell at fancy prices for
breeders. There Is at the present time
movement in that direction.
