Can We Get The Cows?


Upon the quality of the cows in the
dairy depends very largely its success
The dairy department of our govern
ment asserts that there are 22. 600. 00(
dairy cows in our country and that fully
six million of these are not paying fol
their feed, but boarding upon the re-
mainder. Even in Wisconsin, an au
thority says "one-fourth of our dairy
cows are 80 vain they are putting ev
erything they earn upon their backs, .
or, in other words, not more than pay
ing expenses. The development Of tht
dairy COW has, like every other indus
try, made wonderful strides in the last
twenty five years, and now COW thai
cannot make 300 pounds of butter il
ten months is no longer considered
worth place in the diary. This has
been brought about by the registered
bull, bred for long period from bott
sire and dam with records of heavy but.
ter production. 1t has become a vel
established fact that the sire has more
to do with the continuance of high
butter record than the mother, altho al
good breeders require this on both
sides. The latest wonder is Belle De
Kol. a Holstein COW weighing 1900 lbs.
owned by Dimmie Bros. of Ohio, that
has just finished year with q, 4O4 lbs.
milk. butter fat 1858. "a lbs, testing
$50 per cent, which. if made into but.
ter, would have been 1900 lbs. So in
starting dairy good pure bred bull
must be one Of the important steps.
The farmers at Crawford, N. Dak..
finding that grain farming was not pay
ing, started . creamery. At the end OF
year many were dissatisfied with the
results. The government sent one Of
their experts there, tested their cows,
and found that large majority OF
them were making only $50 lbs. of but.
ter or less. They established what il
called the block system, putting in
registered bull in blocks 3 or miles
square and interchanging after the
calves came on. They have also made
in the last six months, four shipments
from the East of over 500 cows with
butter records, and car Of yearling
bulls, and now these cows are proving
profitable. At Idaho Falls, Idaho. hay
was drug at So. so per ton, so they or
ganized creamery. and only last
month shipped from FIT. Atkinson, Wis,
ten cars Of graded Holstein and Guern-
sey cows and car of bulls. They were
2, 3, 4, and year-old cows to freshen
in few weeks. Prof. Ellington of the
Agriculture College went East with the
manager of the creamery and selected
them. They went to the herds and
saw both sire and dam, and Prof. Ell
lington says in the Idaho Statesman
eve are now as far advanced in dairy
ing az Wisconsin after 25 years, as we
have gone into the industry right at the
start" and he further says II came
back home more enthusiastic than ever
over the advantages of this state in
dairying." This comes home to us too,
as Idaho has no advantage over US.
Those interested should subscribe to a
good dairy paper and begin to study
this very important question. After
reading it awhile you will begin to real
ize our advantages over the Eastern
states in both dairying and stock feed
ing. In recent letter to the writer

Pasturing cotton fields is a good
method of destroying the squares,
bolls, and foliage-the sole food sup
ply OF the mature weevils and the in
cubators Of the immature weevils-
where the cotton fields are fenced and
the number Of cattle turned into a
field is sufficient to eat all the squares,

ever. let 1t be distinctly understood
that the practice Of turning a few head
Of cattle into a fifteen or twenty acre
cotton and corn field accomplishes no
particular good. We all know from OBJ
s~ervation that two or three head OF
cattle per acre, even when confined
to the cotton field will eat very little
Of the green foliage in one week. And
let us not forget that It is necessary
to completely destroy the food supply
