LESSON NO. 5.

Conducted in behalf of the dairy in.
dustries of Washington by l. P. Whit
ney, Instructor in Dairying, State
College, Pullman, Washington.
There are a large number of dairy
men today who are depending on
keeping up their herds by purchasing
cows from time to time. We can find
herds throughout the country that
were started fifteen or twenty years ago
that have been kept mp by this me-
thod; and, as result, the herd Is no
better now than when first star ted.
In many cases, it is not as good, and
the owner of such herd Is loud in
his declarations that there is no money
in dairying.
1t is manifestly impossible to build
up dairy herd by buying the COWS
needed to maintain the herd, and such
being the case, the dairyman must ar
range to raise his own COWS. Now
adays we find many dairymen who are
breeding their COWS to any kind of a
bull, their idea being that any bull is
good enough, so long as he brings the
COWS in milk Those same dairymen
realize the necessity of raising the
heifer calves to replace the COWS that
are being disposed of and consequently
will save the heifers from the cows
which they consider are best in the
herd. These dairymen do not realize
the truth in the statement that "the
bull is half the herd. They think
that because a COW is good producer,
her daughter will naturally be the
same, never giving one thought to the
sire.
1t is quite a common practice for a
man who is starting dairy herd to
breed his COWS to his neighbours bull
for the first year or so; and when one
of the best COWS in the herd presents
him with a nice bull calf, to keep the
calf to head his herd. Such practice
cannot be too strongly condemned. Let
us say. for example, that the mother
of the calf he is saving will produce
two hundred and fifty pounds of but
ter fat per year. and we judge the
dairy COW by what she produces. The
sire of the calf is of no particular
bree ling, but If he were about the
same grade AS the COW, we would ex-
poet that the calf would partake of
the characteriSticS of his DarentS and
he would, in measure, at least,
transmit these characteristics to his
offspring. The sire, then. which has
been saved to head the herd, is capable
of transmitting the qualities that go
to make up two hunderd and fifty
pound butter fat producer. Let us
say that this is the average product of
the herd which he is to head. Is it to
be expected that under these conditions
the heifers will be any better than
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1909-11-01

their mothers? Certainly not. The
grade sire then must be condemned,
for the dairyman cannot afford to
take chances with him.
With the right kind of pure bred
sire, and by "right kind IS meant
one in which the desired characteristics
have been fixed by long and continued
breeding, and is IN himself first class
individual, we are reasonably sure
that we will get the kind of heifers
that we desire, especially when we are
using him on grade COWS which have
no firmly esta bllshed characteristics.
Let us, for example, take sire from
d strain of animals that are producing
five hundred pounds Of butter fat per
are producing from two to three hun
dred pounds. Is it not reasonable to
expect that the heifers of those COWS
will be better than their mothers?
1t is an essential also, in building
up the dairy herd, to know what each
COW, in the herd is producln g, for, in
order to accomplish results as rapidly
as possible, the heiters should be saved
from the best COWS. as they would un-
doubtedly be better than those from
the poor producers. The dairyman
should require all of his COWS to come
up to a certain standard of produc-
ton, and he should dispose of all those
that fail to do so. By this method
he will be able to raise his standard
from time to time. and after a few
years will have herd Of grade COWS
that will rival the best pure bred
herds in the country from the stand
point of production.

To Produce Milk at Good
Profit.

Prof. A. l.. Hacker is strong adj
vccate for the special dairy cow, but
realizing the dairy COW is far in the
future, for the large majority of far
meIs, he has concluded that the COM
mon or $40 cow is not such a poor
dairy COW as the farmer is a poor
dairyman.
He thinks that the $40 COW is the
outgrowth of conditions that prevail
upon the average farm, and it is a
question whether she is not a better
COW for the average farmer Professor
Hacker says if the common COW we're
to be replaced by the special dairy
COW, one half the number of cows
would return the same product With
an expenditure of practically one half
the feed for maintenance, one half
the stable Accommodations, one half the
pasturage, and one half the labor in
caring for them, as the average special
dairy COW is capable of producing 300
pounds OF butter compared with the
$50 pounds returned by this $40 COW.
This would be possible only under
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1909-11-01

proper conditions of feeding, stabling,
and care. The best COW in the world
will do no better than the poor cow un-
less the proper working conditions are
provided.
In his judgement it is only neces-
sary to give the common COW proper
care and feed to learn that instead oil
being the $50 pound COW she may be
made $50 pound COW. This proves
concluslvely that she is a far better
COW than the average man is dairy,
man. In every instance, whore she
has been given an opportunity to
cluslvely proved this tact. Improve
ment must begun with the owner Of
this common COW. Success in any
business comes through complete
knowl4 dge of that business, and the
average 'dairYman does not know even
the rudiments of the breeding and
I66O1uR OIL COWS.
The COW is the first and most i'm
portant channel for milk production.
It may be said that it is not necessary
to keep such COWS, and of course it is
not, but we must remember that two
thirds of the COWS of the country are
of the 125 pound butter fat per year
kind and SO long as this is true, there
is need for improvement. Feeding of
the herd Is neglected fully AS much as
of ten, the COW is underfed and not
supplied the food necessary for the
greatest profit. Good feeding means
supplying the animal with required
nutrIment at the least possible cost.
The roughage is of the most import
ance and should be produced on the
farm. Silage, alfalfa, clover and roots
should be the principal crops of this
kind aud the manure from the yard
will insure large yields.
The silo he considers of greatest i'm
Eortance in reducing the feed bill and
this forage with alfalfa hay should
make up at least two thirds of the
bulk feed given. For grain and milk
stuff, the price should determine what
feeds to choose and here a knowledge
of stock feeding is required. In gen
eral, corn, bran and ollmeal will be
found of the best and cheapest. The
grain should be gwen in amounts
consistent with the animals ability to
handle the food. In general, it can
be said that they should have what
they will eat up clean and not gam in
body weight. A dairy COW should not
be fattened, although she should be
kept in good condition. Rural Spirit.
A horse that moves steadily and
evenly and takes good long strides is
good horse. Never buy horse
that takes short nervous steps or that
has mincing gait. One of the most
common ways to injure a good driv-
ing horse is by driving him hard in
cold weather and after heating him
up allow him to stand in the cold UNI

SQUAW RAISES NEW
POINT IN LAW

Spokane. Wash. Oct. 26.-Delia
Moses. comely squaw, raises a novel
point in legal Jurisprudence in a cross
complaint, filed in the district court
at Lewiston, Idaho, where her hus-
band, James Moses, Jr., a wealthy
Indian. formerly a member Of the
Nez Perce tribe, recently made appll-
cation for a divorce, charging deser-
tion. Mrs Moses sets out in her bill
that when an American Indian sewers
his tribal relations, takes a position
as citizen and is given the privilege
of transacting his own business, he
assumes a duty and responsibility, al
so that he must be governed by the
laws of the state in which he resides.
She also asks for alimony for the sup
port of herself and two minor chill
dren. She alleges desertion and nom
support, and charges that two young
squaws robbed her of her husband
more than a year ago. Della and
James were married in 1902 and lived
together happily until the summer of
1908, when. she states in the COM
plant, Susie Kopletz and Ruth, In
dians named as correspondents, came
into her husbands life. This is the
first suit of its kind to be filed in the
courts Of Idaho.

Meanwhile Colonel Roosevelt was
not idle, and as already cabled, he
has got a fine bull elephant, with
tusks weighing about 80 pounds, each.
Elephant hunting is no child's play
for one must creep up to within 20
feet of the elephant and if they hear
the hunter the chances of his escape
are small.
After getting his elephant Colonel
Roosevelt went towards Mwer /, where
there is good game shooting. A sports
man recently came into Nyeri from

IN TWO CAMPAIGNS
EFFORT BEING MADE TO
SECURE UNITED ACTION
". p. T.. l.. and w. c. n. q. Initiate
Movements to Conduct Campaign
for Equal Suffrage and for Release
of "Jim" Walton, Murderer.

Spokane, WASH, Oct. 26.-Efforts
are being made by the Washington
Political Equality League and the
Women's Christian Temperance
Union to enlist the mothers, wives,
sisters and sweethearts of the male
population in this state in two cam
paigns as follows:
Suffrage for women, the campaign
to be formally launched in eastern
Washington on November /, under the
direction of Mrs May Arkwright
Hutton of Spokane, president of the
state league.
The release of "Jim" Dalton, serv-
ing a life sentence at Walla Walla
for the murder of II. A. Stotko, a
member of the police department of
Spokane; direction of Mrs Edith AS
baugh, president of the Central w. c.
Y. U. of Spokane.
Mrs. Hutton is opposed to the mill
tant plan saying that the matter of
equal suffrage in Washington is pure
ly a family problem and should be
worked out by the men and women
of the state. The league is not af-
filiated with the national organization
for the reason Mrs. Hutton says that
1t caters to the militant, which meth
cd she added is not wanted or needed
in Washington or in any other state
in the union.
Mrs. Ashbaugh declares that Dali
ton did not have anything to do with
the killing of Officer Stotko, who was
shot down by a gang of safe blowers
while on duty the night of April 4.

that Dalton is not the slayer of her
husband. Dalton was arrested fol-
lowing the murder and tried and con-
visited on purely circumstantial evil
dence. He was sentenced to be
