TAFT TALKS RECIPROCITY
Says Pact With Canada Will Benefit
Entire United States.

Columbus, O., Feb. 11.-Reciprocity
with Canada will benefit the entire
United States, farmer, manufacturer,
railroad company, middieman, ware
houseman. This was the declaration
made by President Taft in an address
made here at the National Corn ex-
position. Gail will be the gamer" he
said.
While his speech was devoted espe-
cially to showing that the farmer had
nothing to fear, but much to gain, he
attempted to prove also that all the
other interests of the country would
be benefited by the proposed reci-
procity.
1--WE have with pioneer energy
pushed on to the Pacific" the presi-
dent said, "and taken up all the good
land. We are now spending millions
to reclaim the arid and semi-arid
lands of the great Western desert.
Should we not by taking down a use
less and unnecessary tariff wall, bring
within our agricultural resources the
great plains of the Northwest when
they can bring us what we need and
that without hurting any of our own
DeODle?"

ROtate===But Manure Also
Live Stock to Produce Suffi-
Gent Fertilizer.

Excellent as are the results which
follow the adoption of a good system
Of rotation of crops, as compared with
the single-cropping system, rotation
alone cannot be depended on to keep
the soil in high state of fertility. To
do this On an ordinary farm Of 100
acres, sufficient live stock must be
kept to permit the application of ma
nure, at the rate Of say eight tons per
acre, at least once in five years. The
production of such quantity of ma
nure would require at least forty COWS.
Since labor difficulties make it imprac.
ucable for most farmers to properly
@are for so many cows, Professor A.
d. Wilson suggests, in recent ad.
Aress, that the owner of such a farm
keep only twelve good mich COWS
and the equivalent of the remaining
twenty-eight in horses, calves and
colts raised for marketing, brood -sows
and their annual litter, and poultry.
This would permit the thorough ma.
nuring, every year, Of say one-fifth of
Ahe tillable land On the farm in con.
nection with the corn planted in a
Mve-year rotation. A course of pro-
eedure like this, at University Farm,
has brought an increase of $40 bush
els OF wheat, 1876 bushels of corn, and
ID tons of hay per acre over the re-
suits secured by a system of rotation
without manuring.

Profit From Good
Care and Feeding.
BY J. A. Mcclure, Superintend-
ent Northeast Experiment
Farm, Grand Rapids, MINI.

Roxy, the cow whose picture accom-
panies this article, is one of herd o.
thirteen so-called common COWS" a
the Northeast Experiment Station
Grand Rapids, Minn.-a herd whose
record affords a striking Illustration
OF the fact that few Minnesota farmers
are realizing from their COWS the an
nual profit which might be theirs. For
the average amount of butter from
each COW, II Minnesota, is only 16C
lbs, while the average from this Elk
pertinent Station herd is 279 lbs. Here
is 0itle-c.Ice of 119 lbs. per COW
equal, at = cents pound, to 1921
annually. To the farmer with only
twelve cows the difference would ag,
gregate S3S1.53.
Please take note that this difference
has not been secured because of su.
perior breed or because, in gross
amount, the feed given the thirteen
COWS was greater than the ordinary
farmer gives his herd. 1t has come
altogether from good care and correct
rather than lavish feeding. The COWS
ten months of the year. During OctO-
Der and November they were fed on
fodder corn, stock carrots and bran
and shorts half and half" From Dec.
I, corn ensilage was fed in place Of
roots. They were Stalled from Oct.
to May 5 During the summer they
were pastured on cut-oVer and brush
land By day, and in a small tame
grass pasture at night. When the flies
were bad, the cows were always put
In the barn at noon. In winter the
temperature of the barn went below
the freezing point. The cows were
turned out of doors only in fair
weather, and kept out only so long as
they cared to remain. They were fed
twice a day and watered once a day.
The feed for each animal was weighed;
also the milk she produced. Each cow
was led, in grain, two-fifths the num-
Der Of pounds that she gave in milk.
The feeding and milking were done at
the same time every day. What is
there, in all this, impossible to any
farmer?
Roxy. the most profitable cow in the
bunch. cost only $40. She probably
has some Jersey blood, and possibly
some Holstein. The fact that she is
black, with white markings, shows
that the Jersey strain is not pre-
dominant: but she has buff nose
and Jersey type OF head. Her av-
erage production, for three years, was
377 pounds of butter per year.

REINFORCEMENT
PASSES The HOUSE
Measure Provides for a Body

Washington, Feb. 10.-Minnesota' s
representation in the house will be
increased from nine to ten members
under the terms of the apportionment
bill passed by the house. This meas
ure, which provides for house OF
433 members, will be concurred in by
the senate and approved by the presi-
dent.
The action of the house will enable
state legislatures now in session to
redistrict the congressional subdi-
visions on the basis of a population
of 219,O25 for each member, an addi-
tional member being allowed in a
number of instances for major frac-
lions. The representation of North
and South Dakota is increased, re-
spectively, from two to three mem
bers, Montana from one to two, while
Iowa and Wisconsin each maintains
its present representation, eleven
members.
Under the new reapportionment plan
no state loses member. The follow
ing states gain the number Indicated:

House Votes to Take Up Me-
Call Reciprocity Measure.
MARGIN WILL Be SUBSTANTIAL
On Motion to Set Aside a Rule and
Take Up the Bill the Vote
Stood 1877 to 120.

Washington, Feb. IA test vote
taken in the house of representatives
on the Mccall bill embodying the
terms of the Canadian agreement
demonstrated conclusively the meas
ure will be passed by that body by
substantial majority. The plan of the
leaders is to pass it before adjourn
ment and hurry it over to the senate
Things are now looking up for Cana
dian reciprocity in the senate. While
1t is by no means certain the pact will
be concurred in by that body the out
look for favorable action there is more
promising now than it has been any
time since President Taft transmitted
his special message to congress on the
subject.
The Mccall bill was taken up in the
house in the face of rule setting
aside the day for the consideration of
business affecting the affairs of the Dis
trict of Columbia. 1t therefore became
necessary for the friends of Canadian
reciprocity to set aside the rule and
they did so by a majority of 1877 to 100,
thus making it plain that. whatever
the fate of the agreement in the SEN
ate, the house intended to follow the
lead of President Taft. Here again
it would demonstrate that, without the
aid of the Democrats, the presidents
proposal would have gone down to de-
feat in the house.
Committee Reports Bill.
The house committee reported the
Mccall bill by a vote of u to 7, six
Democrats joining with six Republic
ans in making the report, while six
Republicans voted adversely on the
proposition,
In open house 101 Republican mem
bers voted against the motion provid-
ing for the immediate consideration
of the Mccall bill. Nineteen Demo
Gratis sided against the bill on this
test vote. The motion was adopted by
the votes of 1874 Democrats, Sc Re-
publicans.
The Republicans who voted in oppo-
sition came from the agricultural
states of the Northwest and New
England, few from New York and
the border states and a number from
the Middle West.
Among the prominent Republicans
who took advantage Of the occasion to
express their approval of reciprocity
as laid down by the president were
Dalzell of Pennsylvania, Fordney of
Michigan, Hull of Iowa and Kiefer of
Ohio.
A further analysis of the vote shows
the Republicans who lined up against
Canadian reciprocity were men who
have been closely allied with the Can
non organization and the progressives
from the West. The progressives, al !
most without exception, voted against
the motion to take up the Mccall bill. /

LIVE STOCK A NECESSITY.
Will Add to Annual Yield Of Every
FARM.

Every fsrm of 100 acres of good,
tillable land, in Minnesota, is capable
of yielding a gross income OF $4,000
annually To do this, however, the
amount of live stock of all kinds which
is kept-hcrses. cows, beef cattle, pigs
and poultry-should be equivalent to
forty head OF mich cows, and a proper
rotation of crops should be observed.
The means Of carrying out these ideas
are at the command OF almost every
owner of such farm; SO that any sum
by which his income falls short of
$4,000 may be said to have been
thrown away through neglect of the
opportunities placed at his disposal by
the modern science Of the farla."

Community Breeding.
BY Carl Gaumnitz, Manager of
Johnston Land Company's.
Dairy Farm, Butler, Mimi.
!. :. :. !. !. !. !. :: :. !. :. :: !. = :.

! =
! The highest object of breeding is to
secure animals whose usefulness is
greater than that of their ancestors.
By community breeding" We mean
simply the getting together of farm
ers, deciding upon some breed to raise,
then buying and using bulls in part
nership.
Such breeding is neither an expert
ment nor al impracticable idea, but it
is a plan which has been fully worked
out not only in foreign countries, but
also in the United States. The Guern-
sey and Jersey Isles afford good exam
pies Each of these isles is about the
size of one Of our townships, but new
ertheless each sells hundreds of thou
sands Of dollars worth of cattle an
nually. In this country, Waukesha
and Jefferson counties in Wisconsin,
Rice, Pine and St. Louis counties in
Minnesota, are noted just because
they are raising one particular breed
of dairy cattle.
The Mortified Breeding Associa-
ton, in Rice county, has been in opera
ton comparatively a few years; still
the farm bank-deposits have been
doubled. The community has a repu
tation for producing Holstein cattle.
Even grades are being sold at an aver
age of SIS and the purebreds are in
demand at fabulous prices. If this
can be done at Mortified, it can be
done in other sections. The matter
rests entirely with the farmers of any
community.
The matter of increased production
is really the object for which to strive;
for l believe we perhaps think too
much of the selling of the stock which
We get from better breeding. By the
use of a good sire, the farmer should
increase the production of his herd fifty
pounds of butter per COW. At 80 cents
per pound, this would make an in
crease Of SIS per year per COW. Such
an increase in production is what is
wanted. There would then be NO
grade COWS for sale for several years.
heifers to grow up, have their milk
weighed, tested, and the poorer ones
then culled out. Bull calves should
not be kept or sold for breeding pur-
poses. 1t is not expected that all
farmers will breed purebreds, since
this is a science by itself, but one can
select a sire with a high producing
ancestry; then select his daughters
by the scale and tester
Only few sires really possess out
standing merit; SO they must be tried
and found out by their offspring.
When thus proved, they become real
ly valuable.
When community is organized for
cooperative breeding, these tested and
tried sires may be passed about from
one farm or group of farms to the
next farm or group. In this way one
avoids untried sires, and keeps the
valuable sires as long as they are
useful. By cooperation several men
or groups of men can do very cheaply
what would seem nearly impossible
for one man to do alone.
If this plan is adopted and followed
out by groups and communities of
farmers throughout the state, it !
would no doubt add thousands of dol |
lars to the revenue of the communi-
ties, and millions to that of the state.
The fact that it has been done else
where is sufficient proof that it can
be done in any community in Mime
sofa, if farmers will only get together
