The Cow That Pays Her Way|
By PROF. G. w. RANDLETT. N. DAG

Our first article gave an idea of the
correct form of the dairy COW. The
purpose of this lesson will be to point
out the method of determining which
COWS are profitable and which are not.
There is perhaps no class of farm
animals in which the different men,
bers vary so much in individual merit
Indeed the variation is so great that
many lack the property of merit en-.
tirely, and are kept at an actual loss,
while others may yield the owner a
much larger profit than he knows.
The last U. S. census report gives
the average yield of all the dairy COWS
OF this country as $3.50 each, an
amount scarcely sufficient to pay for
their feed. There are undoubtedly
many cows on North Dakota farms
whose annual butter yield does not
exceed 40 pounds. Suppose COW
produces an average of sixteen
pounds (about eight quarts) of milk
day for eight months out of the year.
There are many that do no better.
In the 240 days she will yield 3S4O
pounds of milk. Now if the milk con-
tains 3 per cent of butter fat there
will be 1852 pounds of fat. Since
butter is composed Of about IS per

A Man Who Plants Thousands Of
Trees Offers Prizes to Others.
Il plan for the reforestation Of the
State Of Maine has been submitted to
the governor by B. C. Jordon of AL.
1red' Mr.. Jordon offers to give the
state $1,000 on condition that once in
eighteen years five prizes shall be
awarded for the five best lots of young
forest growth.
These lots are to consist of not less
chan ten acres. accurately surveyed
and plotted, the majority Of the trees
TO be not less than ten nor more than
thirty feet high. and not less than ten
nor more than thirty years old when
Che prizes are awarded. The varieties
OF trees to be grown are specified and
cover long list from white pine to
elm.
Mr.. Jordon believes that the incen
Give afforded by such prizes would do
much to bring about better forestry
conditions. Maine has many thou.
lands Of acres of waste land, now al
rcst worthless, but naturally we'll
adapted to timber growth, and which
by small expense for care and for.
est cultivation could be made easily
worth in fifty years 500 an acre.
In this way the state, instead of be-
ting Of the poorest in the Union might
be made one of the richest. Fifty
years is a large part of one PERSONS
life. but very small part of the life
OF q state. Mr.. Jordon himself set
out from ten to fifteen thousand trees
last summer, and states that he hopes
to set out many thousands every year

pounds of per cent milk a day for
nine months. or 275 days each year
Two hundred and twenty pounds OF
fat, according to the methods of com
putation given, will make 256 pounds
of butter worth $56.76. This will
leave. net profit of about $25.
1t will be noted that the amount OF
butter produced depends quite as
much upon the quality of milk as
upon the quantity. The latter is easily
determined, but the former not 80
readily. Right here is where the ru-
raj school may help to solve the prob.
lem. There is but one practical way
to determine quality in milk, and that
is by the use of the Babcock milk
tester. The apparatus necessary con-
sists in two or four-bottle tester,
milk bottles to correspond, one pi-
petite, one acid measure and small
quantity of sulphuric acid of CONNER
cial grade. Chemically pure acid is
too strong, and will burn the fat while
too weak acid will not give results.
The entire cost of this outfit will not
exceed SIS or Sc. and if properly and
intclligently used will result in greater
benefit, both educationally and finan-
cially TO the district than much high

THE LAZY CLUB.

Plan Of English Workmen to Discour.
age the Habit Of Being Tardy.
One of the best assets of a manu-
featuring plant is the interest of EN-.
ployes. and when this develops into
friendly rivalry its value is many
times increased. Frequently work
men will adopt methods spontaneous.
ly that are of great assistance to the
firm.
In the engineering shops of a Ger.
tain English firm the workmen a year
or two ago originated what they
called the Lazy club. 1t was entirely
their own idea, which for obvious rea.
sons has received neither recognition
Eor financial support from the manage.
ment, but has been most excellent
means of reducing the number of late
Corners.
Whenever a workman is more than
five minutes after time he finds the
gate locked, and he is not allowed to
enter until the half hour is up. This
half hour is deducted from his wages,
but in addition he has also to pay
to the treasurer of the Lazy club S
cents for coming late.
If he is late more than once or SC
during Il week everybody is aware of
the fact. and the second or third time
re makes his appearance after start
ing time he is greeted with a terrific
combination of noises produced ON
any available material by his fellow
wOrkmen.
At certain periods the accumulated
funds Of the Lazy club are divided,
not among those who have produced
them, it should be noted, but among
tho entire staff equally. Thus the late
workman is made to pay the early
Corners for his laziness. The last dis
tribution was just prior to a bean
fest and funds accumulated during
twelve months were distributed
amounting to over seven shillings
head.

cent of fat and Is per cent of water,
salt and other solids there can be
made from this amount 1876 pounds of
butter. If butter brings an average
price of % cents per pound the cow
will yield a gross income of $29.70,
just about the actual cost of her feed.
The calf, the skim milk and the ma
nure are usually considered sufficient
to pay for labor, housing, interest and
risk.
1t would be difficult to say without
entering into exact computations
whether the owner of such COW re-
allies gain of few cents or sus-
tains a loss. At best the animal is
little more than nonentity She has
no place in the world. and the sooner
she and her kind are out of it the bet
ter. Another animal, however, might
yield the same amount of milk or even
less, and still be profitable. Suppose
the milk of the second COW tested
5h per cent instead of 8 per cent,
then on the basis of the same amount
Of milk she would return S55.66 instead
of $29.70, and, as it costs no more to
feed her than the first COW, it is evil
dent that the owner would realize a
good gain, vet he might never know
it. Should he receive an offer of $50
for the first cow and $35 for the sec
ond might make the serious mistake of
accepting the latter offer or the much
more serious mistake of refusing the
first offer.
Primrose Tricksey 1896, whose pic
ture was given in the first lesson, has
a record of 1927 pounds of milk for
one year. This milk tested 5.66 per
cent, giving 52SOS pounds of butter
fat. On the basis that butter contains
IS per cent of fat, this would make
617.74 pounds of butter worth % cents
per pound $135.90.
Colantha As, Johanna, a great Hol-
stein-Friesian, owned by w. ]. Gillett
of Rosendale, Wis, is the undisputed
champion butter COW of the world.
Her best years record is 99S.26 pounds
of butter fat, of 1,174.4 pounds of but
ter amounting, at 20 cents, to $258.37.
Compare this with the SOTO of the
scrub COW. Mr.. Gillett, however, is a
specialist whose problem is to produce
world heaters. This the rank and file
of North Dakota farmers cannot do,
but there is problem for them, and
that is to increase the average yield
of the herd. This can be done only
by securing and retaining the best in.
dividuals and sending all twenty-nine'
dollar-a-year COWS promptly to the

No farmer can afford to keep these
"star boarders." as they have been Sc
aptly called. They eat good feed and
occupy good stable room that should
be utilized by animals that have the
ability to return profits. No COW
should he allowed to hold a place in
