Problems Up to Dairymen

perhaps to produce fairly good re-
suits from the standpoint of milk and
butter production and fairly good re-
suits from the standpoint of the pro-
duction of beef calves. Now, it is
possible undoubtedly, to select cows
of the beef breeds that will produce
during the year an average Of from
100 to 200 pounds of butter. More
often. however. it is found that such
a herd produces more nearly an aver
age of 100 pounds Of butter than 200
pounds; and, then, of course, the
calves from these cows, being bred
along beef lines, If raised and cared
for properly, will prove fairly profit
able from the standpoint of beef pro-
duction. 1t is the buyer of beef that
always advises the farmer to use dual
purpose cattle for his farm and dairy
rather than beef cattle, because he
realizes that the time has come when
it is Improbable for the farmer to
keep cow for the entire year solely
for the production of calf; but it is
possible, If she produces in addition
to calf which may be valued at from
IS to $40, 100 pounds of butter-fat
which at this time is worth nearly
$50, that she may be and probably is
a source Of real profit because, kept
under the very cheapest conditions,
her feed may not cost moro than $50
end it may be estimated that the calf
is worth $40. Now, If grade calf,
from the standpoint Of beef production
can be valued at more than $40 at the
time it is born. l would like to have
some one advise me. There are thou
sands Of them being sold that do not
bring this much money and there is
possibility of their being bought for
less than SO and placed upon the
farm and raised and fed into remark
able beef steers. This being the case.
it is the height Of folly to give the
cow any more credit for the calf she
has produced than SO. 1t is not a
question of what the calf is worth
when it is sold upon the block, as to
the value the COW has been to her
owner, because in all likelihood the
cost of the animal at the time it has
reached a marketable age has been
very nearly all that he can be sold

Which Breed Best for Da'rying7
When, finally. the farmer has made
up his mind to actually begin dairying.
the first question which presents It,
self 10 him, and the one which he asks
more frequently than any other, is
which breed of cows is the best for
dairy purposes? There is probably no
question to which it is so difficult to
reply. 1t is easy to tell him that he
should utilize one of the four dairy
breeds. This is not enough, for he

for in advance of $40 which we have
given him credit for being worth at
the time Of birth.
Now, the question is, can the farm
er or dairyman afford to keep a COW
all year that will not produce him
more than from 100 to 200 pounds Of
butter fat for the purpose of produ.
cling SO calf? This is a question of
real Importance and one that should
be solved by every farmer in deter
mining which breed Of dairy cows IA
best for his purposes. But this ia not
the only allurement presented by the
dual purpose COW; there is another
that Is Of real value in dollars and
cents, and every dairyman has been
advised that the dual purpose cow.
after she has served her period of
usefulness in the dairy, can be fatten-
ed up and sold for beef and will bring
probably SO more as Gamer than
will her sister, the dairy COW. Now.
the period Of usefulness of a COW is.
or should be, about ten years, SO that
this means the beef COW is more val
liable by 81 per year than is the dairy
COW. Adding this to the valuation we
have ascribed to the beef calf. we
find that the dual purpose COW, pro-
ducing an average of from 100 to 200
pounds of butter fat per year, has to
her credit also $11 over and above
that which the dairy COW has, provi-
ding we lead ourselves to believe, az
many have done. that the real dairy
COW will have bull calves every year
that are fit for nothing except to be
killed at once. The time is rapidly
coming, however, If not here already,
when the farmer is to know that every
heifer calf from real dairy COW that
has produced from 400 to 700 pounds
of butter during the year, is worth
more money the day it is born than
are the two calves from one of the
common beefier types of cows pro-
duced In two consecutive years, pro-
viding they be alternately male and
female. But for the purpose of de-
Gliding in an unprecedented manner
which is the best breed for the dairy,
we will leave out Of consideration for
the present time the value of the
dairy cows calves and take it for
granted that they are destroyed i'm
mediately upon birth and we will al
low the calf, whether male or female,
from the dual purpose COW, to be
worth SO at birth, and further allow
81 per year in the valuation of the
beefy type of COW, believing that when
she Is ready to die her carcass will
be worth that much more to put in
tin cans.
The 40 Pound Cow.
This is the type of COWS that are
being MIXED, the average production
of which is 40 pounds. There are
many herds of real dairy cows that

care and labor. We have only to look
to the herds that are producing an
average Of from 300 to 400 pounds of
butter per year to be in a position to
answer In the negative. Were We to
sacrifice the calf and the extra value
Of the carcass of the COW at the time
of death, an annual valuation to the
of amount of 81, and select instead

as much butter fat, or ESQ pounds.
and sell it for % cents. which has
been less than the average price re-
ceived by most dairymen during the
past year, we would have instead OF
$11, $78.40.
Great Mistakes.
Now, without doubt, this places the
consideration on a basis where any
one can figure for himself which class
or breed of cattle he Is to choose for
the dairy. During past years. and
even at the present time. we find
thousands of farmers that are an
nually sending $7s.40 after this myth
ical $11 that they have been led to
believe is to be found in the dual pur-
pose COW as an advantage over the
dairy COW; but it is apparent in the
face of facts that it Is the utmost
of folly year after year to sacrifice
$78.4O in the production of butter for
the sake of securing a $40 calf and
having a carcass that is worth 81 per
year that is used for the purpose of
beef after its useful life has ended.
This is a matter that can very easily
be figured out and is not subject to
dispute. OF course, there are other
ways of figuring, but in the end the
same result has been reached. In
arguing against the idea of the dairy
COW invariably the point comes up
that the United States is a beef-eating
nation and must have beef, and this is
a fact There never will come time,
I hope, when we will not have a suff1-
cient amount of beef to be consumed
on every table in the United States,
but it is taxing the dairy COW a little
harder than is necessary to ask her
to produce the millions of pounds of
butter that are absolutely necessary,
and at the same time produce the beef
that is to be consumed upon the
tables. unless she is to be paid accord
ingly. 1t would not be right to ask
the farmer to do all that he Is doing
at the present time, working hard as
he Is, and at the same time produce
in addition to the food and clothing
for the world, the manufactured ar
ticles. reading material, etc., for the
same world simply because we must
have manufactured articles and read
ing material There are many men
and farmers who are not capable of
conducting dairy herds In the most
profitable degree because of their dis
like for the business. Likely these
same men are we'll adapted for the
production of beef, and the dairymen
will, no doubt, leave the production
of that article to him. realizing that
