STAY SINGLE ONE YEAR.
Divorce Law Is Amended in the
House.

The argument before the house in
committee of the whole this afternoon
was over the Keene divorce bill, an
amendment of the existing divorce
laws, which penalties the guilty
party in divorce proceedings by pre-
venting him or her from remarrying
within three years.
The lawyers of the house thought
that the three year clause would be an
inducement for persons to leave the
state for the purpose of evading the
provisions of the act. The bill was
finally amended by reducing the penal
ty to one year.

The Silo for Dairymen.

This is the time or year when the
dairyman or dairy farmer who owns a
silo likes TO talk about silage. Good
silage comes as near being June pas.
ture in January as any feed with
which the dairyman is familiar It's
succulent or juicy nature especially
fits il for stimulating the milk flow
and keeping the COW In vigorous
health. Probably the most important
rule in the profitable dairy is to keep
the cows milk flowing as freely as pos
sible after the flow has once been
started by parturition or calf-birt To
do this demands right feeding and
good care. Silage is also necessary to
right feeding. Silage is a cheap feed
to cut up and valuable to use. 1t is
grown on the farm. This fact is of
Importance in this day of high-priced
mill feeds.

VALUE OF PURE-BRED SIRES
Prof. e. n. Fraser of illinois Expert.
ment Station Explains This
Feature of Dairying.

The value Of a good bull In the
dairy herd is something that dairy
farmers are now giving more attention
to. Prof. K. II. Fraser OF the Illinois
experiment station has made this fea-
ture of farm dairying study, and ex-
plains It's benefits in this way: IF, for
example, the good pure-bred sire i'm
proves the milking capacity of his
daughters by only one and one-half
pounds of milk at a milking, above the
production of their dams, this would
mean an Increase OF 900 pounds or
milk for the ten months or 300 days
during which the ordinary cows should
give milk; they would also be much
more persistent Mixers that Is, would
give milk for longer time In the year,
and would regain their flow OF milk
better after an unavoidable shortage
OF feed as in summer drought. Such
daughters may certainly be credited
on the average with 1000 pounds more
milk per year than their dams pro-
duced. At the low estimate of one dol
lar per 100 pounds this extra amount
or milk would be worth SlO per year.
The average COW is a good producer
for at least six years, or until she gets
eight years old. Each daughter having
a pure-bred sire will, therefore, earn
$50 more money in her lifetime be-
cause of the good qualities of her sire.
1t will on the average be four years
after purchasing the sire before his
first daughters will have finished their
first lactation period and brought In
the first extra SO. Eight dollars and
twenty-three cents kept at compound
interest for these four years at five
per cent. will equal $40, so a daugh-
ter's improvement or increase of in
come the first year is worth 1928 at
the time her sire is purchased"

DAIRY RECORDS ARE USEFUL
They Serve as Tab on Mixers and
Make Excellent Barometer Of
Cows Condition.
(By J. BAILEY BRUCE.)

Accurate records of each cows milk
yield enables us to weed out the herd
and retain only the money-makers.
They serve as tab on the mixers.
If the COWS are not MIXED clean the
fact is discovered. Poor milking by
hired help is discouraged and the dry
ing off from imperfect milking re-
duCed TO a minimum.
The COWS daily record is an excel
lent barometer of her physical condi-
ton. arrangements are more quickly
discovered and checked and better
methods of feeding are encouraged.
Both owners and help are stimu-
lated to increase the product and it
educates them in the matter of dairy
economy.
They induce better business in the
management of the business. A place
where business methods have been too
long ignored.
They serve as an excellent guide in
selecting heifers that are to be raised
to replace the cows we annually dis
card from the herd.
