Good vs.. Poor Cows.
BY c. r. Barns, Minnesota Uni
verslty Farm.
. ]. j. + !. !. + j. r + + 1. !. 4. + i


Professor w. J. Fraser, Of the ILL
nois College of Agriculture, puts forth
an article, under the above caption,
which bristles with instructive facts,
such az may proftably be studied by
dairymen in Minnesota, as we'll a.
elsewhere.
He shows how one dairyMan pro-
duced $4,000 worth of milk from TWEEN
ty cows, or 500 worth per cow; while
another bestowing twice as much la.
Dor on forty cows, sold only $500
worth of milk, or $45 worth per cow.
The first tested his cows, kept an &C.
count with each, and on eighty acres
ond believed that "a COW is cow"
kept no accounts, and on 40 acres of
land earned barely enough to cover
expences.
He shows how, at a large condens-
ing factory. the three poorest herds
yielded their owner $36.62 per COW for
the years milk; while the three best
herds yielded sos per COW. The own
ers of the last three herds cleared 4
profit of over $50 per COW, while the
others "pocketed loss" az the re-
ward of unintelligent dairying.
He shows the essential difference
between proceeds" of milk and prof
its" thereon. THAT man handles a
lot of money does not show that he Is
doing a profitable business; for he
may not be paying expenses and in
terest.'
He shows that COW must produce
about 1000 pounds OF milk and 100
pounds Of fat to pay for feed and
labor. Below those figures, the COW is
an "expensive boardcr."
He shows that e;Ght cows, each pro-
ducing 5000 pounds of milk, return as
much profit as forty COWS producing
5000 pounds of milk. A COW produc-
ing 10000 pounds Of milk returns as
much profit as six COWS producing
only 5000 pounds. He says:
"There are two million people milk
ing eighteen million COWS every day
In the United States, yet ons.third OF
this energy is entirely wasted, as
there are six million cows that never
did anything to help sustain the farm,
and never can or will. This kind OF
COWS are bred on from generation to
generation, and when we stop to con-
slider how easy 1t is to apply the
dairyman's yard stick, IN the scales
and Babcock test, to every herd, and
yet realize that not / Per cent OF the
two million dairymen In the United
States are using this yard stick today
| it staggers us that such conditions as
these should continue to exist Such
| a waste of energy is appalling"

!. M. LeLANCE AND
HIS ROMANCE

j. M: DeLAnce, father Of Hon. A.
j. Defiance of Ross, who has been
in Grand Forks during the winter,
passed thru Minot Sunday enroute
to the farm. where he will proceed to
dispose OF MS chattel property.
About the first of April, he will leave
for his old home in the northern part
of New York state where he will wed
comely and wealthy widow, friend
OF a quarter century ago.
There is quite a pretty romance con-
nected with the engagement of the
couple. Mr.. Defiance returned to
New York state last Thanksgiving,
where he had not been for 81 years,
surprising his brothers and sisters,
whom he had not seen during all
that time. He met this friend OF
younger days and their old friend
ship soon ripened into love, terminal
ing in their engagement. The BRIDE
to-be is exceedingly well-to-do and
after their marriage, the couple are
planning on moving to Minot, build
ing coy bungalow here. The
widow has beautiful daughter who
is remarkably tine musician and
she will accompany them to Minot.
Twenty solid trains of gas pipe,
bound for Portland, Ore, are pass.

Collins, from the start 10 the present

As consequence, the i.Vardaman
papers have turned their political
mud batteries against his candidacy
In the hope OF defeating him before
the people. They are attempting to
belittIe him, both personally and pro-

strength to his candidacy, and draw.
