KEEP GOOD COWS IN DAIRY
ducers Are Known, Then Reject
the Improbable Ones.
CBY SAMUEL 10. BARNEs)

tBY SAMUEL Il. BARNES.)
The owner of a dairy should know
how much profit each and every COW
is producing
Why should he feed and milk a COW
that does not produce an ample profit?
Why should he keep 20 cows instead
of ten when the profit is the same?
The only reason for a mans doing
this is that he does not know which
cows are the poor ones and which are
profitable.
Some dairymen have been induced
TO keep careful records of their herds
for the last six months and as a prac-
teal illustration a few of their figures
are given below.
One man who has kept a record of
his herd of IA COWS during the last six
months has increased his net profits
from $3.50 to $122.S2 per month-an
increase of over 100 per cent.
This was done by cutting out the
poor mixers and feeding according to
the amount of milk produced.
Before the records began he fed all
the COWS the same, consequently some
cows consumed more food than they
paid for.
Two other men are keeping the
same number of COWS (20), feeding
the same kinds of food and selling
milk in the same city. There is quite
a difference in the results:
One of the herds produced during
six months test an average per month
for the 20 COWS of 1926 pounds Of
milk, or 296 pounds of milk for each
COW per month. The average of but
ter for the 20 COWS per month was
2S31s pounds, or 14.01 pounds per
COW each month
The other herd produced during the
same time an average per month of
1868 pounds for the 20 cows-534
pounds of milk for each COW per
month. The average of butter fat
for the 20 cows was 54S pounds per
month-2I4 pounds per cow each
month.
The first man has an annual net in
come of s756.36; the secorl man
clears $1,7466O
Does it pay to keep records? The
individuality of the COW must be con-
sidered If a success is made in the
dairy business.

The Gurler silo is made by standing
2X4's on circular foundation and nail
ing half-inch lumber on the inside of
them, thus making large band. The
2X4's should be set vertical and about
16 inches apart. To the inside sheet
ing nail beveled lath. These are nail
ed horizontally the same as the half
inch sheeting, thus making a double
band.
The accompanying illustration shows
end of a cross section of a half-inch
strip nailed TO the 2x4's and the dove
tailed lath. The laths are covered with
cement to the extent of one-half inch.
This makes a cement lined silo and
protects the wood from silage. The
outside of the 2x4's may be covered
by half-inch lumber and painted This
will make very strong and durable
silo, and when the cement shows
wear, caused by the effect of the acid,
it is very easy, when the silo is being
filed, to wash it with cement The
hemlock could be sawed, and used for
making this style of silo.
silo 16 feet in diameter and 35
feet high will furnish silage for 80
animals $50 days

Feeding Silage.

In feeding silage to dairy COWS the
managers should be clean and no sill
age allowed to accumulate. Feed no
musty or moldy silage; feed it only
after milking and keep the cows
stable well ventilated for the escape
of moisture and unpleasant odors. If
you have never fed any silage be-
fore. give only very small amount at
first to each animal, and increase the
amount of feed only as you learn the
effects.

D 3
He looked at you with such an air
That half the time you thought him
dreaming.
His long. lean fingers interlaced,
He fixed us with his mystic glances;
We rose to go with nervous haste,
Determined we should take no chances
But with a gesture he restrained us
And for the moment he detained us.
"What is the difference" he said
Between a man who is a sailor.
Who pads his deck till it's a bed,
Although, forsooth, he is a whaler-
What is the difference between
This man and one who has his failings-
Not wicked faults. nor traits all mean,
But what you might call minor ailings?
SO take the pSobem now. and guess it,
Or if you can't. why. then confess it,"
lie leaned back with a patient smile,
And called his frowning brow TO serv-
ice.
We looked at him a little while
Our heart within us growing nervous.
We told him: Though the answer may
Be something glad or something gloomy,
With any one we might we'll say:
The difference is nothing TO me- p"
He scowled, our subterfuge disdaining:
"Conundrums. though, are mental train
ing"
We said: ~ man who runs a ship
May use his whims his deck to fur
nish,
And who's guilty of a slip
Need not fear we his faults will bur-
Hish."
TIL man then rose up TO his height
And solemnly cracked his knuckles.
And told us, with rare delight
AS manifested by his chuckles:
The captain has his deck o. pillows.
The other has his peccadilloes"

Some years ag0 some citizens OF
Kansas City started the movement

wise had no gardens. To use slang

increased year by year. until now

set both pleasure and profit from the
cultivation Of the waste places.
The idea Is baged on sound prin-
ciples, II a lot Is vacant ii is not
only profitless but source Of dan
geg danger from rank vegetation
which later decays and breeds disease.
II it's cultivated BY some one who
knows how and needs the product Of
garden, the city is spared the ex-
pense OF cutting weeds, and the va
cant plot is changed from an eye-sore
into spot OF profit and beauty.
This plan should be adopted in
Tulsa. There are gardeners in Tulsa
for every vacant lot, and they are
perfectly willing to take chances on
the lot being sold and improved be-
fore their crop is harvested. II all
tn vacant lots in Tulsa were turned
to gardens there would be less weeds
to contend with and greater happiness
and contentment to boast of. And all
without the expenditure Of cent by
the lot owners and agents. Why not?
