lIROFITABLE DAIRYlNG
By HUI CHI G. VAN PELT
Dairy Expert Iowa State Dairy Association
Problems Up to Dairymen

! With all the great advantages that
dairy farming presents, it has without
doubt it's disadvantages, and many of
them, so that the farmer who antici-
pates entering dairying as a business
must not do so with the idea that
there is nothing to be found in the
business except profits. AS a matter
of fact, there are, comparatively
speaking, very few farmers who will
make out Of dairying the greatest
profits that are to be found therein.
Kind Treatment Necessary
The dairy COW is more nearly an
artificial being than any other ami
NAL to be found upon the farm for, as
q matter Of fact, there was a time
when her whole and sole duty was to
beget likeness Of herself and pro-
duce milk in quantities only sufficient
ly large for the sustenance of her off
spring and often for period of only
five or siXr,months, when the youngster
was weaned and compelled to work
out his own salvation on the grasses
of the prairies. But realizing the OPP
portunities for developing the ma
ternal instincts in this individual ami
NAL, man has taken and developed her
to the point where at the present time
we find that she not only reproduces
herself but she also supplies milk in
quantities sufficiently large to raise
her offspring and supply to her owner
large and profitable amount Of milk
and butter-fat daily. In bringing about
this change in her makeup, she has
become more delicate and more sensi-
tive to the treatment which she re-
ceives, and it rests within the power
of the owner rather than in the cow
herself to increase or decrease
in large measure her profit
through care, feed and attention, kind
or cruel treatment and proper or i'm
proper methods of handling. If the
farmer realizes that it is not possible
for him to be content with confine
ment and detail work 1t is better not
to largely increase the dairy business
which he now has upon his farm be-
cause the success of the business
rests with continually working with
the COW Sundays as well as other days
and taking care of the small things,

some one advise me. There are thou
sands of them being sold that do not
bring this much money and there is a
possibility of their being bought for
less than $40 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 $40. 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 marketable age has been
very nearly all that he can be sold
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 a $40 calf? This is a question of
be solved by every farmer in deter
mining which breed of dairy COWS is
best for his purposes. But this is 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 $40 more as a 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 s11 over and above
that which the dairy COW has, provi-
ding we lead ourselves 10 believe, as
many have done, that the real dairy

BOY TORTURED BY ECZEMA

when my boy was six years old, he
suffered terribly with eczema. He

with his nails and that only made
them worse. A doctor treated him
and we tried almost everything, but
the eczema seemed to spread 1t

Vidual COWS to be found In any one of
the four particular dairy breeds than
there is to be found between the
breeds themselves as a whole There
probably has been in the past a place
for what might be termed the dual
purpose COW, and likely in the future
there will be some such place. 1t is
not likely, however, that the man who
has given the matter thorough con-
sideration and study and wishes to
conduct his dairy farm on business
principles and from the standpoint of
the greatest possible net profit, can
be lured into the belief that he should
install upon his farm dual purpose
cattle or animals having the power
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

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
il is improbable for the farmer to
keep a 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
S. to $40 100 pounds of butter-fat
which at this time is worth nearly
$50, that she may be and probably is
source of real profit because, kept
under the very cheapest conditions,
her feed may not cost more than $50
and it may be estimated that the calf
is worth $40 Now, if a grade calf
from the standpoint of beef production
can be valued at more than $40 at the
time it is born, | would like to have

COW will have bull calves every year
that are fit for nothing except to be
killed at once. The time is rapidly
coming, however, IL 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 beefer 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

With the warm days flies multiply
amazingly. Now is the time to at
tack them and prevent the breeding
of millions from the few hundreds that
already exist.
Perhaps the most effective method
of destroying flies is by burning
pyrethrum in each room. This stuns
the flies and they can be swept up and
burned.
Flies are dangerous carriers of dis
ease and an enemy of humankind. Do
