IMPROVING THE DAIRY HERD.

The following paper by G. Larsen.
now of the South Dakota Agricultural
College, formerly OF the Utah Agri-
cultural College at Logan, was read
before the Dairymen's meeting at Visit.
South Dakota:
Conditions are rapidly approaching
when no farmer can afford to keep Il
COW for her calf alone. LII one farm
el%milks his COWS and another does not
but$ allows his calves to suck the one
who does the milking Is going to be
ahead to the extent of the butter-fat
with very little additional labor.
The amount of the butter-fat ar.
profit, which a farmer receives from
his cows depends. first, upon the kind
or COWS: second, upon the kind of feed
and care they receive; third, upon the
manner of selling Or disposine of the
milk and cream.
1t matters little whether a farmer is
IN the dairy work as q business. or
simply practising it as an adjunct Or
SIDE issue 20 general farming. the all
siinIortaht thing in successful dairying
IS to Keep profitable COWS This is of
speclal Importance because SO few
profitable and good producing cows are
round on our dairy farms Instead
we tlnd large number of unproita-
pie cows. which are being MIXED but
IN realty are not worthy of the name
II costs but little more to feed and
care for good dairy cav than #
does 10 reed and care for a poor one.

THE NIcETowN PARROT.

Jacob Hope. a pet stock dealer of
Philadelphia. was showing a reporter
one of his photograph trained parrots,
This parrot isn't like the Uncle one
said Mr.. Hope. There was Il Nice
town man, you know, who had a par.
rot that he once commanded to say
Uncle in front Of a room full of guests.
The parrot could say Uncle beautifully,
yet, though the man pleaded with 1t
nearly an hour, it remained as silent
as the grave Then, enraged. he snatch
cd up the obstinate parrot, ran with it
to the chicken coop. and, half-twisting
its neck, threw it in among the hens,
After his guests We're gone he regretted
lis cruelty. He went sadly back to
the chicken coop to .see#if the poor par
rot was dead. Opening the door, he
frowned. Ten of his y prize Plymouth
Rocks lay corpses on the floor, and the
parrot was standing on the eleventh,
twisting her neck and screaming:

1t is safe to say that there is scarcely
q farmer in the country who Keeps q
8heru OF 10 dairy cows, who does not.
have one or more poor and unprohta-
BILE cows. 1T is equally true that every
such dairy farmer has one Or more
good, profitable producers. The good
COWS. are producing "a good profit ana
the poor ones are producing n loss
These latter cows are simply boarders
that do not pay for their board. They
;fre tho ones which reduce the average
profit from the herd. They not only
eat their own heads off, :" but they
also eat the profit away from the good
am. profitable cows.
E& Tho dairy COWS are simply our woG.s-.
ers We feed and care for them, ana
tell them TO go ahead and convert or
transform that feed and care into milk
and butterfat. If some OF these COWS
cannot do this work advantageously,S
Sand make a snug sum of profit for us
the hest thing to do is to dispose of
them as soon as possible. The dairy
cows work is to economically convert
feeds ;nt5 milk and butter fat. If we
had a dozen men working for us, ana
hell of them We're loafers who did not
work enough to pay for their board,
the l0afers, or improbable men, would
be located and discharged. The best
thing we can do with oui unprofitable
cows is to fatten them and discharge
them.
The5question may arise, How much
shall dairy COW produce to be
profitable lnimal?' The answer 10
this question will vary some, accord
ing to conditions, such as price of feed
ard dairy products and scarcity of la
Dor. Under general conditions, the
COWS which do not produce 600 gallons
(S1a pounds in a galon) of milk. test
ing three per cent fat, per year, are
not profitable cows to keep.

Tells OF New Steamer.

"The project for the construction of a
light draft steamer to haul freight into
the Metaline and concentrates to New
port has received considerable impetus
from certain shippers, and the boat will
be in operation by June L." said Capt.
A. S. Lanneau at Spokane. Owing to
the detection of other ore shippers at
first counted on for freight patronage
the project has been somewhat delayed,
but it is now stated that $1,000 has been
subscribed and that the remainder of an
equal amount is virtually promised.
Capt. Lanneau further said:
II will have the boat running by June
l, and it will afford facilities of COM
munication that the Metaline has never
had. The boat will be about 100 feet
long, carry $50 horse power engine and
cargo of 80 tons. It will, of course, be
a stern-wheeler, and will not draw over
two feet of water, for the upper river
during the dry season is quite shallow.
l believe it will be practicable to make
the round trip of 120 miles from Meta
line to Newport and back in one day,
but that is detail to be worked out in
actual operation"
Capt. Lanneau has for twenty years
operated steamboats, on the rivers and
lakes of the northwest. He built the
first steamer, the State of Idaho, that
piled from Jennings to Fort Steele. He
was also part owner of the two largest
steamers ever launched on Flathead
lake. He is president of the Metaline
Navigation Company.
The boat, plans for which are now in
preparation, will be constructed in Sec
tons at Portland, and boat carpenters
will accompany the craft to Newport,
where it will be put together.
The Newport miner. [volume] (Newport, Wash.) 1899-current, 1908-02-20
Navigation Re-0pened.

Navigation on the Pend d Oreille was
re-opened Saturday, after shutdown Of
two weeks, caused by the freezing over
of the river On Saturday the steamer
Newport came up from Cusick and made
the return trip in the afternoon. On
Monday the down river trip was under
taken and the boat reached point near
Tiger where it was compelled to tie up
for the night. The next morning the
boat reached point within four miles
of lone where further passage was i'm.
peded by huge ice jam. The boat is
now running regularly and it is not
likely that navigation will be retarded
again this winter.
