Gov Guild arrived in Washington today

The only real political significance in

part to dispel an illusion that has been

publican National Chairman.

CHICAGO, June 9.-Charles c. Dawes
was host at good fellowship dinner to
several score of the leading republicans
here last night. The function took Place
in the Golden ballroom of the Auditorium
annex and was a brilliant affair Speeches

her of conferences between groups of
party chiefs, and as a result, it was ru-
mored, W. Murray Crane, senator from
Massachusetts,. will be the next chairman
Of the national committee, with Harry S.
New of Indiana as vice chairman The
rumors had 1t. further that Charles G.
Dawes Of Illinois will succeed c. n. Bliss
of New York as treasurer of the commit
tee and that Elmer Dover of Ohio will
again be the secretary.
None of the men mentioned would do
more than smile when the subject was

SENATOR LODGES ADDRESS.
Topics to Which He Will Direct Con.
Vention's Attention.

CHICAGO. June 9.-The speech of Sen
ator Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts
as temporary chairman of the republican
national convention will be. it is said
based largely on the proposition that the
welfare of the party demands that the
policies pursued by President Roosevelt
be upheld.
1t is expected that the address will re-
quire about twenty minutes for it's de-
livery, and the speaker will emphasize
the point that the people of the country
at large are strongly in favor of the poll
cies of the present administration, and
that future republican success depends
upon following them out without hesita-
ton and with all possible energy.
The third-term proposition will be
touched upon lightly. but the speaker
will point out that all the talk that has
been made about it is evidence that the
country desires for President a man who
will follow in the lines laid down by Pres
ident Roosevelt.

DAIRY NOTES.

BY proper management of the feed
an even flow of milk can be secured
from most cows.
England is in the market for large
quantities of American butter, and this
demand may result in higher prices.
Cows know almost to the minute
when feeding time comes round and
they should not be kept waiting long.
No matter what the market is the
maker of good, reliable butter can al
ways find ready sale at better than
quotations.
Have you ever tried winter rye
pasture for the cows? 1t Is well worth
while to do SO. Then you will need
very little butter color preparation

A rEN-YEAR RECORD.
Valuable Points for the Dairy Farmer
Suggested by Nebraska Station.

In October. 1896. the dairy herd OF
the Nebraska experiment station was
established for the purpose of supply
ing milk and cream to the class room
and also to furnish animals which
could be used in various practical ex-
periments. The herd was started with
ten animals and increased to q. Dur
ing the ten years, 100 complete yearly
records were recorded. The breeds of
the herd were principally Jerseys and
Holsteins, with some Shorthorns and
few grades of various breeds All
records were carefully kept from day
to day during the ten years and all the
records were compiled The 100 rec
ords show an average of 6,5132 pounds
of milk, and 1896 pounds of butter
per COW per year. This average made
by number of different breeds cover
ing period of ten years gives reli-
able basis for figuring.
The conclusions deducted from the
data are as follows:
AS a rule. short lactation periods
result in high per cent, of fat while
long periods give a lower per cent.
of fat.
A large flow OF milk is generally as
ISOLATED with a low per cent of fat,
while small flow gives higher test
II was found, however, that the amount
of butter fat did not vary as much as
the milk flow or the per cent. of fat
In most cases heifers, with their
first calf did not show as high test
as they did at a more mature age.
The per cent of butter fat di6haot
seem to be changed by the food ration
given
In order to know the value of a
dairy herd and its members, IL is
necessary to keep a milk and butter
fat record of each COW from year to
year. Such a record will show varia
ton in the value of the animals and
will serve as a guide in building NJ
the herd
The cows varied from year to year
in their butter fat production. The
good cows were inclined to give large
yields year after year, while the poor
ones were in nearly all cases low.
1t was found that, as a rufe, the
variation in milk flow in individual
cows from year to year was due tc
length of lactation and rest before
freshening. A long lactation period
favors larger milk production; also
a long period of rest before fresheninf
brings the same result
The years 1906 and 1906 were USED
to found the data Of this experiment
and special care was taken to record
Mountain Home maverick. [volume] (Mountain Home, Idaho) 1906-1911, 1908-11-19

365 Days.
accurately all data concerning the
amount of feed consumed by the COWS.
The principal feeds given were as fol-
lows: For roughage alfalfa hay, corn
silage and pasture; for concentrates,
corn, bran. oats and linseed-meal. The
prices charged for the foods were
based on the average market price
during the time they were fed. The
butter fat produced was credited to
the cows at the market value, based
on prices paid by the creameries of
the state.
The conclusions from this test are
as follows:
The amount OF milk and butter fat
produced depends upon the dairy ca
pacity of the animal and the amount
and quality of the ration used.
Cows vary in their cost of keep, also
in their ability to use economically the
food consumed
Cows of a decided dairy type will re-
turn the greatest profit when fed to
their full capacity.
The average cost of feeding a dairy
COW, as shown by these records, is
about $50 per year, and the total
value of butter fat is about $40, leav.
ing an average of about $40 for labor
and profit, in addition 10 the value of
the skim-milk and the value of the
calf
1t is fair to state that the calf, skim
milk and manure will balance the
labor required to care for the COW, and
the net earnings per COW would there
fore be $40 per year.
