Value Of Dairy Sire

Taking herd Of say 40 cows,
each COW represents 1-80th OF the
future herd each year. and the
whole number Of 40 cows represents
4O-8Oths Of the herd and the good,
well-bred sire represents IL or Az.
8Oths of all the qualities, and
characteristics, the capacity Tor
milk production. and every thing
else transmitted to the calves which
are to constitute the succeeding herd,
says circular No. 118 of the Illinois
agricultural experiment station.
With a dairy sire costing $3.50 and
with 40 grade cows at $50 per head,
the herd comes to $1,000. The bull
costs only 1-17th Of the investment.
yet he will improve the future herd
as much as the other Is 17ths. The
extra 500 put into good sire is
the best investment in the herd.

farmers Aids In Sweden

The forming of COW testing
stations which has been begun in
this state is one of the very many
aids to farmers adopted by central
lied authority in Sweden. In tnat
country Societies of Rural Economy
are held responsible for the agricul-
tural interests in their districts and
are the official representatives of
local agriculture. They connect
the government and the farmer in
all matters relating to the promotion
of the agricultural business. Their
income is derived from the subscrip-
tions of members. from a TAX on
alcoholic liquors and from state
bounties. Government bounties are
given for numerous purposes.
Among them may be mentioned TIE
following:
There are II stations which tax
the purity and termination of seeds
at certain fixed charges and give ad-
vice to the farmers and certain mer-
chants.
The butter from each dairy is
examined without previous notice
three or four times a year in order
to maintain the reputation of the
Swedish products abroad. Two
stations have been established to
test and publicly report on new
types of farm machinery.
An experiment station is main
tanned to encourage the national
cultivation of moor lands throughout
Sweden.
One OF the seed stations pays
special attention to the introduction
of improved varieties of farm seeds
by means of selection.
Annual prizes are given for the
best managed small farms not ex-
ceeding Is hectares, or about 49,
acres each.
Horse and cattle breeding are
chiefly encouraged by giving prizes
for approved breeding animals.
Sweden evidently believes that
more people have an interest in
farming than farmers themselves:
that public welfare at large itself
depends upon better farming by the
farmers.
