LITTLE SERMONS IN MILK.
A Thousand Cows That Don't Pay
Reading That Makes Money.

Ex-Governor w. D. Hoard, of Wis
consin, has made an investigation or
Cow census" Of $4,000 COWS on
1900 farms in 13 States. One hun
dred of these 1000 dairy farmers
live in Illinois, and have herds COM
prising 1,4OO cows. These produced
during the year 2O3,1S2 pounds of
butter fat, for which the creamery
paid $55,706. The average for each
COW was 145 pounds of butter fat,
bringing $39.79. Her feed cost
$32.76, leaving $7.O3 Of profit.
The average net cash profit in the
best rs herds Gao cows) was $22.6S
per COW, while the average cash re-
turn in the poorest Of 25 herds (36O
cows) was $26.66 per COW, making a
loss of $6.45 per COW. Here is a
difference of $29.13 per COW, and
yet these best 25 herds are not a
whit better than any earnest dairy
man who studies his business ought
to secure.
Seventy-three of the herds con-
sisting Of LOIS cows-almost three
fourths of all-were of the dual
purpose type supposed to be good
for both milk and beef. They aver
age only 1873 pounds of butter fat
and returned a cash profit Of only
$3.50 per COW. The cost Of feed was
$33.27 head. and 80 herds contain

ing 495 COWS did not pay for their
feed.
But the 27 herds of dairy type,
consisting of 3S5 COWS, made an
average of IT'S pounds of butter fat
worth $4S.96 per COW; cost of feed,
$31.73; profit, $17.23 per COW. This
is no great profit but it is five times
as much as that of the dual-purpose
cows.
Compared with the average of all,
the seven herds that were fed en-
silage consumed $3.76 less feed per
COW, but made $1799 more net
profit, returning 67 cents more for
each 81 invested in feed, and re-
duced the food cost of butter fat S.4
cents per pound below the average
The owners of 81 herds read dairy
papers. The average profit from
every one of their SCI COWS was
$12.91. These cows returned $1.4O
for every 81 invested in feed. But
the owners of 80 herds who did not
read dairy papers sustained an aver
age loss of $2.16 per COW for their
work. Their COWS returned only "a
cents for every dollars worth of
feed. Twenty four herds of this
group did not pay for the food con-
sumed.
Here is difference of $15.17 per
COW in favor of the farmer who
reads. Ignorance costs more than

also fosters the growth of the roots
OF live plants and the decay of dead
ones, thereby increasing the forma-
ton OF those acids which are chiefly
instrumental in bringing about chem
ical changes in the soil particles and

they contain. for the use Of growing
crops.
Tillage. then. increases chemical
changes in the soil which set free

breaking up the soil masses into
smaller soil particles. because the
smaller and more numerous the soil

which produce chemical changes;
CD by introducing and retaining in
the soil air and water, which are two
OF the most effective agents for bring
Ing about these chemical changes,
and CD by favoring the production

which chemical action in soils is
brought about
What Chemical Action Does for the
Soil.
IL having been shown how tillage
increases chemical changes in the
soil. 1t is now necessary to show the
importance of such chemical changes.
For this purpose. perhaps nothing
will serve better than an example or
illustration which may be taken from
the condition of certain soils and the
experience of those who till them.
In North Carolina and Virginia, in
what Is known as the old bright to-
bacco belt. are soils that analyses
show contain as high as 3 or 4 per
cent OF potash. and in some cases as
high as per cent On these soils,
containing more potash than the av-
erage mixed commercial fertilizer
sold on our markets. the tobacco
grower often finds 1t necessary and
profitable TO apply soluble potash in
the form OF sulphate OF potash.
There is sufficient potash in these
soils 10 make hundreds of crops and
yet there is not enough of 1t in such
condition that tobacco plants can get
IL TO make one crop. 1t is probably
In such chemical combination that 1t
is not dissolved In the soil water and
the plants are. therefore. unable to
use II. To render this potash avail
able In sufficient quantities for the
use OF the crops. requires that chem
zeal changes be brought about and
new combinations formed that are
soluble in the soil water. Chemical
changes In the soil are, therefore, OF
the highest Importance and tillage is
one OF the means which the farmer
may employ TO accomplish these de-
sired results. In this sense, "tillage
is manure" and probably the most
important factor in crop production.
The progressive farmer and southern farm gazette. (Starkville, Miss.) 1910-1920, 1910-05-14

Neither crop nor animal can make
the most economical growth with
only a one-sided ration. Too much
nitrogen for a plant means more
leaves than fruit. Too much pro-
teln for the animal means waste of
the most expensive food element. A
balanced ration is far from being
something impracticable or theoret-
ical. 1t is plain business propo-
sition.

OF the growing crops.
Soils are made up largely OF de-
composed or broken down rocks. Air,
water and carbon dioxide gas are the
chief agents that bring about the
chemical changes In rocks which re-
suit in soil formation. Carbonated
water that is. water and carbon d.
oxide gas (carbonic acid)-is almost
universal solvent for rocks, of
which the soils are largely made
This gas is always In the air and In
natural waters. because IT is given

substances. Being heavier than air,

Cultivated soils. in which plants

plants also secretc. certain other
much stronger acids. such as oxalic
and citric. which are also secreted
by the roots of plants. and still other
acids formed In the decay OF plants.
These acids also exert chemical &C
ton on the soil particles. breaking
them down TO render the plant foods
