Organized Agriculture Meets in Nebraska

Farmers of late years are
learning how to mix with city

change in the past twenty

their calling.
SOME THINGS WE HAPPENED TO
NOTICE
Every one seemed to be at
tending stictly to the purpose
of getting all they could out of
the meetings.
They were found in the as
sembly rooms and not on the
streets or in the stores shopping.
The management made one
mistake, it was in not announc.
ing the program. Sometimes
when changes had been made,
nothing was said and many
were disappointed and after
waiting an hour or two to hear
some certain topic, found the
place filled with another man
with another subject. Perhaps
there was another meeting they
had left, expecting to hear a
favorite speaker and were thus
doubly disappointed. 1t is to be
hoped that another year this
will not be SO. There are many
interests and we ought to be
given a chance to get the best
out of all the various ones, or
at least hear what we especially
wait for, or be given a chance
to attend another meeting.

STATIONS have been held, the demand
for tuberculin testing has been great
est.
The tuberculin test has been applied
under the direction of the Agricultural
Experiment Station, and also under
the direction of the state veterinarian
Since tuberculin testing was begun IN
1892. a total of 72,73S animals have
been tested. Over $4,000 of these have
been tested in the last three years.
The state has paid to owners two
thirds of the appraised value of react
ING animals. and has received in re-
turn whatever was paid for the car
casses of those animals passed py
Federal inspectors.
There has been a decline in the per
cent of the animals reacting from III
per cent in 1906 to SO per cent IN
1908 In 1906 almost half of the herds
which were tested were infected, while
in 1908 less than one-fourth had the
disease. In 1906 about II per cent OF
the animals tested were found to be
infected. and in 1908 less than a per
cent. This indicates that the disease
is present in great many herds, al
though it has not spread in each herd
to any great extent.
The evidence shows that the most
common mode of herd infection is
through the purchase of infected ami
mails. OF 363 herds found infected in
1908, there were 263, or nearly three
fourths, infected through purchase. A
law requiring a clean bill of health to
go with each sale is much needed. as
we'll as a law requiring the pasteuriza-
ton of factory by-products. No dis
trict, where the production of breed
ing animals is important, can afford
not to take up this matter at once.
BY testing and removing the infected
animals Immediately and then buying
only those which have been tested,
owners may keep their herds free
from the disease.-Hoard's Dairyman

REMEDY FOR MILK PRICES

A writer in the Rural New Yorker
in discussing the decreased price OF
5 cents per hundred offered for milk
this summer as compared with the
price last season, says:
I have been much interested in the
articles which have appeared in The
r. NY. concerning the cost OF pro-
ducing milk. The correspondents gen
erally agree that milk cannot be pro-
duced at the present prices of grain
and labor. and sold at the average
price of milk for the last year with
profit to the producer, and he must be
a good manager, and give careful at
tention to his business, or he Will be
p loser. Ny own experience as milk
producer has proved to my satisfac-
ton that I cannot afford to produce
milk unless conditions change.
I have noted various remedies sug-
eested for the lettering Of conditions.
While blaming the Bordens and the
N. Y. Milk Exchange for the low
prices, the only possible remedy is in
the hands of the milk producers, and
it is so simple and easy to apply that
I wonder at their lethargy in the mat
ter. Let every shipper of milk cut
down his output 10, Is or 25 per cent,
and see how quickly conditions will
change. There are very few diaries
of IS or more COWS that could not be
reduced by taking out several of the
poorest COWS and thus make the herd
more valuable.
You cannot expect the Bordens'
price nor the N. Y. Milk Exchange
price price of milk to increase when
you ar forcing upon them more milk
than thy want. The price of feed
stuffs the coming winter will be very
high. Prepare to meet that condition
by planning to need and feed less.
Less production is the only remedy for
an increase in price of feed stuffs.

Eugene Larson, who lives near Che
halls, on a farm of about 100 acres,
has a herd of forty milk cows, says
the Bee Nugget. During the month
of June his check for milk furnished
the condensary was $495.71, an aver
age of $3.50 per COW for the whole
forty head, for the month of June.
The condensary is now paying $1.4O
per hundred for milk, 10 cents higher
than last month, and 20 cents per
hundred higher than year ago. Con-
sidering the fact than June this year
was rather dry month, the showing
by Mr.. Larson is a good one. He says,
however, that he will do as we'll with
his COWS for the next two months.
The fact that the season is little Off
does not seem to bother Mr.. Larson
greatly He follows a system of soil
ing which gives him green feed for
his COWS practically the year around.

With the excessively high price of
mill feed, the dairyman should turn to
the silo. 1t is the cheapest food he can
get for his COWS. Felix Williams says
the silo cuts out half the dairyman's
expense for feeding. He has tried it
and knows what he is talking about.
And the silo is not an expensive thing
to build. With a little help any farm
err can do it, especially if he sends for
the plans published by the Department
of Agriculture at Washington. Good
land will produce ten tons of silage
per acre, and at a cost of only $1.50
per ton when it is landed in the silo.
Silage gives juicy food all winter and
thus takes the place of pasture and
soiling for that season. Every farmer
with milk COWS should have a silo.-
