ROFITABLE DAIRYING
By HUGH G. VAN PELT
Dairy Expert Iowa State Dairy Association
What the Dairy Cow Has Been Doing

In Iowa there are produced annually
almost 100000 bushels of corn. The
Iowa farmer realizes that If each
year this entire crop, together with
the other farm crops that are raised.
were to be shipped out of the state
entirely In their natural form there
would be removed such large
amount of fertility annually that in
the course of a very few years farm
lands would be so depleted that it
would be almost impossible to raise
crops sufficiently large to pay for the
expense of raising them. and this is
true of all states in the central west.
Profiting by the experience of the
farmers of the eastern part of the
United States, the western farmer has
learned that although his farms are
now rich and fertile and capable of
producing extremely large crops, still
there is a possibility of removing all
of the available fertility. The great
problem confronting all farmers Of to-
day is how to feed the large and rapid
ly growing population. 1t is necessary
not only to continue producing as
large an amount of food upon the
farms of the west, but in the future
much more must be raised per acre
of ground farmed than has ever been
raised before if people are to have as
much to eat and wear as they have
had in the past. This is due to the
fact that the population of the United
States is rapidly growing and new
farms of great yielding value are be-
coming very scarce. This point is ex-
emplified by the fact that last, year
larger crops were raised than ever be-
fore, and with the exception of a very
few years in history. prices rule high
er than ever before.
Intensified Farming.
All this points to one general fact,
namely, that the farms of the west
must be worked more intensely, and
perhaps instead Of one or two crops
being raised, more attention must be
given to diversified farming. 1t is
very necessary that the great fertility
now present in the soil must be re-
tanned at least, and If there is a pos
sible way of increasing the fertility
of our farms, attention must be given

A WARNING TO MANY
Some Interesting Facts Regarding
Health Satisfies.

Few people realize to what extent
their health depends upon the condition
of the kidneys.
The physician in nearly all cases Of
serious illness, makes chemical analy-
sis of the PATIENTS urine. He knows
that unless the kidneys are doing their
work properly, the other organs cannot
be brought back to health and strength.
When the kidneys are neglected or
abused in any way, serious results are
sure to follow. According to health
statistics, Bright's disease which is
really an advanced form OF kidney
trouble, caused nearly ten thousand
deaths in 1909, in the state of New
York alone. Therefore, it behooves us
to pay more attention to the health of
these most important organs.
An ideal herbal compound that has
had remarkable success as kidney
remedy is DR.. Kilmer' s Swamp Root, the
great Kidney, Liver and Bladder Rem.

The mild and healing influence of this
preparation is soon realized. 1t stands
the highest for its remarkable record Of
cures.

to this point Rotation of crops is USE
full in holding fertility, but it is ex-
tremely doubtful whether this method
alone will suffice to keep the farms in
a profit-producing condition; for the
fact is very evident that whenever
bushel of corn, wheat, oats or potatoes
or ton of hay is taken away from
the farm. all the fertility which is con-
tanned in them goes along and is thus
transferred from the farm on which
the crop was raised to some other
farm or wasted.
There was time when farms in the
New England states were fertile and
of the fact that the soil was rich and
deep and could never be exhausted.
From year to year large crops were
raised, large portion Of which was
sent across the water to Europe, and
gradually the farms of Europe became
better and more productive, but this
was at the expense Of the farms in the
New England states. for, as matter
of fact, the great fertility which was
once to be found on these eastern
farms had been gradually worked out
of the ground. incorporated In the
crops that were raised and shipped
across the water to Europe. and al
though the process was slow 1t was
extensive. and the fertility was trans
ferred from the eastern part of the
United States to the farms of Europe
"Many Farmers Rob the Soil"
The western farmer is acquainted
with this fact and realizes that to con-
tinually grow corn and hay and other
farm crops and ship them away from
his farm In the raw state means to

transfer the fertility from his farm to
that owned by some other man; the
observing have seen this fact demon
strated.
In many cases where on one side of
the road lived grain farmer and his
nefghbor across the road fed live
stock. gradually-and in some in
stances quite rapidly-it could be seen
that the stock farmer who was buying
grain from his neighboring grain farm
er was Carrying across the road the
very best portion of his neighbor's
farm. AS years went by one farm in
this case became better by far and
capable Of raising larger crops from
year to year. while the other farm be-
came poorer, and in the course of time
was useful for very little except to
raise weeds. For this reason the west
ern farmer is an extensive feeder of
live stock. concentrating the product
which he sends to market and retains
upon his farm greater portion of
the fertilizing ingredients. All classes
of farm animals are useful for this
purpose, but the dairy COW is, without
doubt, the greatest retainer and build
er of soil fertility. This is proven by
the fact that ton of butter, which
Is now valued at more thar $500, re-
moves from the farm less than so
cents worth of fertilizing ingredients.
1t is true that by the proper system
of rotating crops. together with the
feeding of grains and grasses raised
on the farm to the dairy COW, selling
her product in the form of butter and
returning the by-products to the land,
the Iowa farm can be made to produce
more largely from year to year, and
each generation that tills the soil will
leave the farm to the next generation
in even better condition than they
themselves inherited it.
Dairy Cow Most Economical Producer.
This is not the only distinct ad-
vantage the dairy COW has. for she is
furthermore recognized as the most
economical producer of food nutrients.
Extensive experiments carried on by
Messrs. Law and Gilberts show that
the COW giving daily ten quarts of
milk produces six times as much min
eral matter. six times as much nitro
