Their scarlet streamers in the spicy

Palms wave. and each magnolia

The majesty of towering pines has
An air Of peaceful quiet and con

Embowered homes suggest long

With books and friends and tancies

Representatives of the state land
department are out on the Cheyenne

Much excitement was created here by
the attempt of Brule Indian from the
Rosebud reservation to steal several
horses from the Whitacre barn, near
Witten. Mr.. Whitaker was absent and

She summoned assistance and the Indian
fed on his horse with Olaf Finstad in

none took effect, tho Indian riding for

That South Dakota raises more corn

Missouri or Kansas. may be news TO
some but 1t 10 fact. South Dakota's
average yield Of corn for the ten years
is equalled only by niinois. which has
averaged half bushel more to the acre
during the last ten years than this
state. Iowa is short by bushei and a
half per acre Of equaling the yield Of
South Dakota, Indians's yield a half
bushel less, Missouri's FIVE bushels less.
and Kansas, twelve bushels. South
Dakota is taking her place as leading
corn state, and with the corn are COM
ing all the other products which make
for one Of the richest agricultural states
in the union.

Partial Cow Ration.

No one should attempt TO run a
steam engine that was driving a mod.
ern threshing OUTFIT with but 30 pounds
OF steam. Yet many dairymen at
tempt TO get profitable results from
their COWS by feeding them a partial
ration. They attempt 20 run them with
but go pounds OF steam" Chemists
tell us that two-thirds OF what a COW
consumes goes TO maintain her body.
The remainder goes toward milk pro-
duction.
II is evident 20 all that the profit
must come from the feed over and
above that which the COW requires for
maintenance. and that the more she
eats the greater will be the profit.
There are many good cows in the
country that are not recognized as such,
and cannot be made profitable unless
they receive more feed. There Is no
prohtin feeding partial rations TO mich
cows. We cannot get profitable re-
suits running cows on go pounds OF
steam" II there is a food shortage,
one might better feed full rations to
half the number rather than feed the
many on half rations. In the latter
case there will be much work and
little profit. In the former, the cows
are sure TO give profitable returns.
and the labor OF caring for the herd
would be much lessened. Mix Re

KEEPING PROFITABLE COWS.
Many Kept In Iowa That Do Not
Pay for Their Feed and
Care.

A DARK authority in Iowa asserts
that there are hundreds and hundreds
OF cows kept for dairy purposes In
Iowa which do not yield sufficient to
pay for the feed which they consume.
for they consume as much feed as do
the profitable ones and require as
much time and care in milking.
There was a time when the dairy
COW was not expected to milk for more
than six months in the year. but with
the present high prices for labor and
feed this condition OF anairs can no
longer probably exist
The lactation period should be az
least nine months In length. The
amount OF milk a COW should produce
TO be profitable Is variously stated AT
from 5000 to 5000 pounds annually.
or sufficient to yield from 200 TO 2t0
pounds OF butter fat This should
vary. OF course. with the locality. price
of labor, feed. etc. However, II Is

In order to determine accurately a
cows usefulness as dairy animal II
is well to weigh one days milk every
week or ten days during the lactation
period. At the same time a sample
should be taken for testing. The time
OF freshening should also be noted In
order to determine the length OF the

MIX from Either Side.

Cows are always MIXED from the on
or right side because they have been
taught that way. A COW can be MIXED
from either side II she is brought up

MIX first from one side and then the

DAIRY NOTES.

Hollow concrete blocks make an
ideal silo that will not crack OF the
contents easily freeze. Machines for
purchased for about $40.
With the exception Of where the
very best cedar is used. all wooden
silos should often be painted inside
and out in order 10 preserve the wood
and to prevent leaking. For paint
for this purpose, coal tar Is about
as good as any kind. II serves we'll
for filling cracks and is also a good
preseryative.
The question Of the one purpose and
the dual purpose dairy COW has almost
ceased to be discussed by rational
dairymen. THE difference between
the dual purpose dairy COW and the
dairy cow" says w. ID. Hoard Of Wis.
consin, lis Just the difference between
a machine that Is made for its pur.
pose and one that Ia not What would
you think of a man who would 40
out to cut grass with a sewing ma
chine?"
When every dairyman comes 10 own
his own farm and comes TO under
stand the most economical use OF
skinned milk and manure, dairying
will become profitable industry.
The skinned milk and manure CON-
bined may be made to represent as
much as the butter fat OF the dairy.
II is better to build two or three
silos OF narrow diameter than one OF
vide diameter. When silage is used
for summer feeding IL will keep bet.
ter with small top surface exposed.
The power OF production in a COW
is inherited. IL the COW is a good
dairy animal by Inheritance and Is
given good care and feed she will be-
come more productive as she increases
In age. The quantity rather than the
quality Of her milk is Influenced by
feed.
