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
genous material, and an amount of fat
equal to the steer that gains In live
weight Is pounds of beef per week. A
good dairy COW, too. will accomplish
this end by the consumption OF cheap
er foods than will the steer, for the
food of the dairy COW Is made up
largely Of roughage, which is a cheap
er kind of food. with small amount
of concentrates, while the ration of
the steer is made up largely Of con-
centrates, with comparatively small
amount Of roughage.

Price Of ivory Increasing.

Ivory continues to make rapid gains
In cost and may sooner or later be in
class with gold. At the sales In
Europe the tremendous demand
pushes up the price. The allotment
for each sale seems 10 be the same,
and with a gaining consumption 1t Is
logical to expect a price advance.
This will continue until substitute
ivory is discovered or ivory is Sc
cured In greater quantities. Although

OF cutting and bleaching, the margin
of profit in finished key ivory is ex.

tails in connection with key ivory

OF fact. the great fertility which was
once to be found on these eastern
tarms 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

neighbor across the road fed live
stock, gradually-and In some IN

Hon. J. j. Richardson of Davenport
Iowa, than whom there is no more in
tluential man connected with the
American Jersey Cattle club Of New
York city, at once set about to induce
the Cattle club to duplicate Mr..
Marsh's prizes for Jersey cattle that
might enter the contest and win.
w. B. Barney of Hampton, Iowa, pres
ident of the Iowa Dairymen's associa-
ton and likewise influential with the
HOlstein-Friesian association of Amer
lea, induced his association to dupli-
cate the prizes to the extent of $500
for Holstein cows that might be win
ners Of portion Of Mr.. Marsh's
money, and then 1t was that everyone
seemed anxious to put up prizes for
the good of this cause and seven or
eight pure bred dairy bull calves were
offered as prizes to competitors own.
ing common grade cows. Dairy sepa-
rators, milking machines and prizes
of all kinds were offered, until finally
the prize list amounted to between
four and five thousand dollars, and
then it was that the farmers Of Iowa
began entering their cows until at the
| time when the date for entry closed
| there were found to be competing in
! the one large association 100 cows and
surprising are the facts that have
been revealed from month to month. A
| large number of the COWS have been
| producing from 40 to 100 pounds Of
butter per month and. on the other
| hand, a large number of them have
been producing from 10 to Is pounds
of butter month; or, in other words,
some of the cows in the test are the
equal In milk and butter production
and, In the end, in the production OF
profits to their owners, of eight or
ten of the cows on the other end.
This yearly contest will be finished
by the first Of August. 1910, and the
yearly production of 100 cows can
then be figured up. At that time 1t Is
planned to duplicate the test and al
ready much prize money has been OF
fered for the cows that will enter for
another such race.
Now, the value of such contest is
not in the prize which the owner Of a
COW may win, because this really is q
small portion of the real good, but 1t
is surprising as we'll as very gratifying
to find how intense the interest of the
owner of the COW becomes when she
begins her race in a public contest
| He at once wishes to learn the very
best ways of feeding and caring for
her and there is an impulse which
| leads him on to increasing his edu-
cation along lines that will better the
conditions in the dairy for all time
to come. This growth OF interest
brings questions from farmers. dairy
men and breeders all over the state
regarding the building up and caring
for the dairy herd. Many are antici-
pating going into the dairy business
and others who have been in the dairy
business are anticipating making
their business one of less drudgery,
shorter hours of confinement and a
business of profit with less of the
heavy work and care than in most
any other line OF farming.
