MARCUsE, CALIFORNIA,
LAND FOR PROFITABLE FARMING.

Marcuse Colony, located In Suffer
County, which is in the heart of the
Sacramento Valley, is fast coming to
the front as farming community in
Which nearly every agricultural prod
uct known may be successfully raised
without irrigation.
The soil is a dark, sandy loan,
sedimentary in character, level and
well drained. It has the advantage
over other soils in that it is loose in
character and superior to heavy soils.
With this wealth of SOIL abundance
of water, unexcelled climate and long
growing season, Marcuse Colony Is
the ideal place for the homeseeker
with limited means, the worn out pro-
fessional man, or the young man look
ing for q small farm In a healthful
climate.
The proximity Of Marcuse Colony to
Sacramento, furnishes a ready market
for vegetables, poultry, eggs and
dairy products. Fruits, vegetables,
alfalfa, grains and grasses and poultry
yield large returns. The rainfall is
certain and drought is unknown.
Land is yet moderately priced, but
crop failures in other sections of the
United States will bring new settlers
in rapidly. This, together with the
holding Of the Panama Pacific Expo
sition In San Francisco during 1915,
is bound to raise the price, and wheth-
er for home, or for an investment,
now is the time to purchase. Land
may be had in tracts suitable to the
means of all and the results obtained
are almost beyond belief. Further'in-
formation will be gladly furnished by

New Barn Burns.

Ipswich.-The large new barn on
A. w. Diestler's farm southeast of here
was destroyed by fire recently. Elev-
en- head of horses, nearly all of them
with harness on, were burned to death.
Also a stallion, for which Mr.. Diestler
paid 81 900 was burned to death. This
barn was just recently completed at
the cost of $4,000. The cause of the
fire is unknown. Deistler had $4,000
insurans. on the barn and horses but
even then his loss will be exceedtnly
heavy.

Questions and Hn$WerS

Question: What is the best breed
of dairy cows? G. A. d., Kent, Wash.
Answer: There is no best breed of
dairy COWS. The kind that you should
buy will depend upon your own likes
and disllkes. We know that there
are heavy producers in all breeds,
and we also know that we have heavy
producing herds in all breeds. What
you should keep in mind, however. is
that large COW generally consumes
more feed, and that smaller COWS, as
a1ule, are not SO hardy, being unable
to withstand the extremes of climate
is we'll as the larger type. Also keep
in mind that if You have a large
amount of roughage and a small
amount of concentrates, it may be
necessary to have large COW in order
that she may be able to make the
most out of the feed you have on
hand. The four principal dairy breeds

The Dairy Sire

Too much stress cannot be laid on
the Importance of good sire to head
your herd. A few hundred dollars
spent for a good bull will pay an
enormous interest, when his daughters
begin to produce, and if used on pure
bred COWS, be will increase the value
of every calf many fold.
1t is essential of course to have high
producing COWS, but it must be kept
in mind that the bull is half the herd,
and if you are striving for higher
producing herd, you must have sire
whose maternal ancestors are high
record COWS.
The safest plan is to buy an old
bull that has shown his value in the
per Torrance of his daughters. Such
a plan however, may not always be
the most economical since in most
cases, he cannot be used but limited
number of years. A very good way
is to buy young animal from high
record COW, and whose sire has good
ancestry and then depend on the
purity of breeding to give the bull
the power to transmit his qualities.
Never use any but pure-bred sire.
A grade bull, no matter how good a
producer his dam may have been, is
never sure of transmitting his good
qualities to his offspring, and further
than that his male calves will not be of
much value.

specific germ or germs, and it every.
thing is kept perfectly clean, and
milk kept in a room separate from
victuals and vegetables, you should
have no trouble keeping it il a per-
fectly good condition. At this season
of the year when milk is generally
kept at a much lower temperature
than in the summer you will find that
bitter f1avors are more prevalent.
This is due to the fact that the deslr-
able germ causing Tactic fermenta-
ton does not work we'll at low tenn
peratures and consequently it gives
the undesirable germ, which causes
this bitter flavor, a chance to develop.

A Marvel of Easy Running

There have been tremendous advances in the running

are the Holstein, jersey, Gurnsey
and Ayrshire. These have proven to
be the most economical for milk and
fat production. We have also the
dual purpose breeds, but | should not
advise any one to buy anything but
purely dairy stock if he expects to
make a profit in the dairy business.
We must specialize and it matters not
so much what dairy breed you choose,
but the care you give them after they
are in your possession.
ODOR SHOWS FERMENTATION
Question: What is the matter with
the milk or the cow when upon stand
ing "a hours the curd settles to the
bottom and the cream on top has a
bad smell? F. P. j., Prosser, Wash.
Answer: 1t seems in this case that
there is really nothing the matter
with the milk or with the COW, and
the cream has a bad odor simply be-
cause there is an undesirable fer
mentation taking place. When milk
sours naturally with desirable Tactic
bacteria we expect the curd to fall to
the bottom, because it is heavier and,
of course the water will float on top.
This, however, does not take place in
"a hours unless the temperature is
rather high, or unless large number
of Tactic acid germs are present. AS
the milk gets older the undesirable
fermentation begins to work and as
result we have bad smelling cream.
The preventive is to keep the cans and
utensils thoroughly cleansed, and see
that the mixers and attendants and
also COWS are perfectly clean. Since
milk is nearly sterile when drawn
from a healthy COW, we can improve
its flavor and keeping qualities only
to the degree that we eliminate the
dirt At this season of the year we
find that the conditions are more
favorable for the growth OF the I'M
desirable germ than the desirable.
Herce it is more noticeable than 10
the summer time.

FEED FOR DAIRY COW

Question: | will have to buy some
feed for my dairy COWS. Is alfalfa
hay worth as much as bran for dairy
feed? Please inform me through
your valuable paper. j. L., Sno-
homish
Answer: We can hardly say that
alfalfa hay will take the place OF bran
in a dairy ration, but if a COW is not
giving milk she can very easily subsist
on alfalfa alone, and indeed in some
instance they have produced a good
flow of milk for a short time. Bran
alone is not all the best feed. 1t may
contain nearly the nutrients required,
but ration must have a considerable
amount of roughage to take up the
bulk, if the COW is to do her best
work. These two feeds contain very
nearly the same digestible nutrients.
but since one is a concentrate and
the other a roughage they cannot be
used INTERCHANGEABLE. They are both
high in protein, so l would suggest
that you feed in connection, some
thing high in carbohydrates.
