Good Cows

OBJECT OF this article.
Good Cows
Whether a COW is adapted to the
production of milk depends upon her
breed characteristics and her individ-
ual characteristics. Since the greater
part of the COWS of the valley were
brought here from other parts of the
country, we cannot judge what may be
the influence of Imperial conditions on
the breed characteristics of cows. Upon
their individual characteristics, howev-
er, we believe the great abundance Of
nitrogenous food and warm climate the
year round will have a marked influ-
ence.
Dairymen know that only the strong,
vigorous COW can make the maximum
amount of milk from given amount
of food. w. o. Henry, in his Feeds
and Feeding" cites an experiment
which goes to show that cows in poor
condition would yield approximately
four pounds of milk for every pound OF
dry matter in her food, whereas COW
in excellent condition will yield eight
pounds. The New York experiment
station at Cornell found that large
cows made better use of their food than
small COWS; and that they gave more
milk both absolutely and relatively
than small cows. These facts have a
considerable significance when we know
that the dairy COWS of the valley are as
a rule in excellent condition. We doubt
if another section can show dairy cows
in better condition generally.
These facts have a still greater sig
nificance. Good breeders of dairy stock
recognize that the individuality of a
COW depends largely upon the care she
had when young. Heifers, then, under
Imperial conditions, ought certainly to
have a big advantage over those raised
where for months in winter they stand
In a barn lot or in the lee of straw
stack, using their meager food for heat
and energy rather than the building of
tissue.
In colder climates the dairyman glad
ly welcomes the time when he is able to
turn his cows out to pasture. Not only
is he saved the expense of winter feed
ing, but his cows return bin a better
profit. Cows are expected to give the
best results of the year when on grass
pasture. The use of the silo is but an
effort of the dairyman to provide
summer food for the winter months.
In Imperial we have a summer food the
year round, and often the cows are
yielding the largest amount of milk at
the time butter fat is highest in price.
One of the commonest mistakes of
dairymen is to feed too little, specially
where winter feeding is practiced. Per-
haps 60 per cent of a proper ration for
dairy COW is utilized in the mainte-
nance of her body, l. e., the production
of heat and energy and the rebuilding
of wasted tissues. The other 40 per
cent is utilized in the production of
milk. 1t is the poorest economy, then,
to feed less than abundantly, for if a
COW is fed so per cent of what she re-
quires, she will either make milk at the
expense of her bodily tissues or will
utilize for milk only half of what she
Is capable of utilizing. A COW in pas
there is much waste of food by tramp
ling it under foot, pasturing is often
more economical than feeding too little.
1t is true that there are perhaps but

A DAIRY COUNTRY

Three factors of great Importance in
the economical production of milk are:
Good cows, an abundance of palatable
food in a balanced ration, and COM
Portable surroundings.
Wherever these factors can be COM
bined with little expense will be found
profitable dairying, provided of course
there is a good market at hand. The
discussion, briefly, of these points with
reference to the Imperial valley is the
object of this article

"SHOT'' BY MILLIONS OF TYPHOID
GERMS, FORT MOTT SOLDIERS
SUFFER ONLY A FEW ACHES

Some OF the soldiers carry i've hundred
million germs under their skin. and there
are those who do not relish them. They
had sore arms and complained Of head
aches and backaches. The ailments ap-
peared an hour or so after the men had
been ''vaccinated," but lasted only a few
hours. Then the soldiers went back to
their regular duties. There have been no
bad results from the experiments.
The inocuiation is preventive of ty-
phoid fever and not cure. As a preven-
tative. the incubation lasts only a year or
two. Physicians say the results undoubt-
edly will prove Of great value in the army.
According to physicians, the real value
OF the antitoxin in the army is that the
men often go to places where sanitary
conditions are poor, and where typhoid
fever cannot be checked in any other way

menf of Immunizing
Land Fighters From
Dreaded Fever.

Two hundred men of the Coast Artillery
at Fort Mott, n. j., opposite Fort Du-
Pont, have been inoculated with typhoid
germs Most of the soldiers at the fort
have now been experimental on in the
tests that it is hoped will show the way
TO end the typhoid scourge in the army
and the artinerymen at Fort DUPONT will
soon be subjected to similar tests.
The Fort Mott artillerymen volunteered
TO be ''shot" with the germs. one inocu-
lation is not deemed sufficient however
and each man must submit to the hyper
dermic needle three times. The treatments
will be ten days apart.
