LARGER MILK PRODUCTION.
Every Cow viii Respond to Good
Treatment-A Proper Feed-sIip-
shod Methods Must Disappear.

Statistics tell US that the average
cow produces only about 16O pounds of
butter annually. This at, say. % cents
per pound is only $40. At a very con-
Servative estimate she costs her owner
$50 per year for feed.
Granted that the skimmiIk. butter
milk and manure are worth all tbev
cost to care for her and we have a net
profit OF $40. That is a pretty good
rate OF interest on the capital invested.
and were it net possible to do better
we might feei pretty well satisfied.
particularly when we consider the
value Of the calf too.
But when we know it is possible to
do far better than this it is not salts
factory. The same common COW. no
better than the average animal. better
than some, but not so good as many
others, will produce 250 pounds of but
ter when properly fed and cared for.
Let US say she will produce 24O
pounds. Her annual product would
then be worth $50 instead of $40. We
will allow her an extra $40 for cost of
feed, which IS very liberal allowance,
as 1t will be spent mainly for concen-
trateS. Her owner will then receive
$50 for $40 worth Of feed. or S15O
worth of product for 81 worth of feed.
He has been paid for all his extra feed
and receives double the prot from his
COWS.
Increase in production will be largely
brought about by individual effort
rather than by concerted movement
upon the part of dairy farmers. One
after another is turning from slip
ShOd to scientific dairying. and the
term may be used as applying TO the
business Of the dairyman who begins
to think and act intelligently, although
he be far from being an expert.
When one begins to carry on the
business intelligently he soon learns
that it will pay him to keep a better
COW than the average. Instead of
being satisfied with the 24O pound cow,
he will aim for the 300 mark, and the
$50, and then the 400 mark.
He will begin by giving his COWS
feed that will produce all the milk
they will produce economically. He
will give them good care 50 that they
will be comfortable. He will then give
thought to his future herd. He will
place just as good a dairy sire at the
head of the herd as he can get. He
will keep the heifer calves from his
best mixers, and he will know which
are his best mixers, because that is
part Of his business. He will gradual
ly increase the efficiency of his dairy
herd and at the same time will in
crease in The knowledge of dairying.
But while he is doing this hundreds
and thousands of his fellow farmers
will continue in the same old rut, new
er becoming enthusiastic over dairying
because it doesn't do for them what is
claimed for it. They have nothing to
become enthusiastic about

once said:

THE FINAL POSE.
He Wanted to Make the Thing Harmo-
nious and Complete All
Around.

In the early days OF travelling by
stagecoach across the Rocky noun
tains the trip was likely to be relieved
OF monotony by incidents Of no ordi-
nary occurrence. But the fatigue Of
the journey was apt to wear upon the
nerves OF the weak and the timAd.
Sometimes the passengers became so
worn out as to lead to a suspicion Of
their sanity. The Right Rev. D. 8.
Tuttle in his "Reminiscences Of a Mis-
sionary Bishop" describes an instance
In point.
One forenoon the coach rolled ints
Denver, and the six horses came pranc-
ing up to the Office OF Wells. Fargo &
Co. A large crowd was assembled, as
the incoming and the outgoing OF the
daily coaches were the great events
for the town.
at the stop the only passenger quick
ly threw open the coach door. leaped
to the ground. ran .hurriedly across the
street and. turning a handspring.

against a supporting wall.
Several men followed him, quite sure
that here was another passenger Graz
ed by the long, sleepless ride. One
said TO him In a tone Of sympathy,
why. cap'n. what's the matter"
Slowly coming to a right side up
posture. the man answered: 'Well, my
friend. I'll tell you what it Is. This
standing on my head is the only posi-
ton which / haven't been in during
the last twenty-four hours in yOnder

CARE OF cow AND CALF.
The Effect of Precautions Before Birth
Are Farrsaching and Must Not
Be Underestimated.

Throughout the months of April and
May many COWS become fresh, and
each should have full four weeks
rest before time for the calf to arrive.
During these last four weeks she
should be fed good, nutritious food,
consisting of clover hay, with liberal
messes Of bran, and if necessary ton
les and condition powders should be
added to keep her in proper shape for
the emergency to come.
In ninety-nine cases out of a hun
dred these careful attentions may not
be necessary, and the cow will get
along all right and apparently do as
well to rough it, but who knows but
that his COW may be the hundredth
one and be lost from milk fever or
some other disease that can be attrib-
uted to improper care?
A COW doesn't have to be fat to be
In proper condition for calving. She
should be in good enough condition to
be strong and healthy. A fat COW
may be in the very worst kind of con-
ditiOn, and this is the reason why so
many fat COWS die of milk fever after
becoming fresh.
By all means keep the cows appe-
tite good and bowels loose, feed her
properly and see that she gets plenty
Of exercise and good water. Then
there will be little danger at calving
time. In fact, the COW will come out
all right with a big, strong, healthy
calf that is well born and ready to
start on the way for a good, healthy
and profitable animal.
There is little to say about teaching
the calf 20 drink milk, for most every
body has had his ups and downs at
that, and each has his own way,
The Washington bee., 1911-04-01

which is always the best. But the
calf should in very early life be taught
to eat hay and oats.
Keep some good, bright clover hay
where he can get at it at will. Keep a
shallow box of oats where he can nose
around it, and if the oats get stale
clean out the box and put in a fresh
supply.
In a very short time the calf will be
eating both oats and hay, and after he
has learned to eat we'll you can fool
him by skimming the milk and putting
a little water in if milk is scarce. BY
working him gradually you can work
off some buttermilk on him, with other
things as well. and he will grow and
make a fine animal
Don't turn him out when the first
green grass comes, but keep him in a
lot or paddock, where he can get ex-
ercise and go in the barn when he
wants TO, and feed him all the good
clover hay he will eat in connection
with his other feed, and you will have
a calf that will knock the socks off,
any grass fed calf you ever saw.
The quarters of the calf should be
kept clean at all times If the bedding
becomes sOiled a fresh supply should
be put in. The quarters. too. should
be rOOmy, airy and light. If the sun
shine can stream in all the time, so
much the better. Sunshine is a great
health promoter for all kinds of young
things.

PLENTY of Water For Calves.

Calves, like other farm animals. get
thirsty, even though milk forms a
large part of their ration. Calves three
months of age will drink as much as
five quarts Of water daily per head.
They drink often, slipping a little at
a time. A half barrel, cleaned and
replenished twice daily, will serve
nicely as a water trough.
Another good device is an auto
matte waterer which may be easily
cleaned, situated a little above the
floor to keep out the litter. Salt is
essential to the development of the
calf. as Of other animals, and should
be kept continually available.
