ESTABLISHING THE

The time to bring n herd OF cows up

Feed lightly at first, gradually increas-
Ing the allowance as the animal re-
covers from the strain of parturition
and so long as she responds generously
to the increased amount of feed.
For COW weighing 1000 pounds 1t
Is well to feed daily thirty pounds Of
eilage and from eight to twelve pounds
OF good clover or alfalfa hay. The
amount OF grain fed will depend to n
large degree upon the capacity OF the
COW and her ability to do work. 1t
IL we'll to begin with an allowance OF
only three to four pounds of feed daily
and gradually increase it so long as
the animal responds with an increased

this. drop the feed pound or two.
As a rule, cows fed good silage and

MAKING THE DAIRY
FARM PROFITABLE,

We notice in several of Our eastern
Z agricultural exchanges that there is II
good deal of discussion being had on
this important question. says Hoard's
Ha!ryplan. a number of dairy farm
ers declare that it Is impossible for
them to make their herd and farm pay
anything like fair profit, so they ex-
press the determination to sell off their
cows and engage in some other branch
of farming.
We are not here to say that they are
MAILING mistake. but we wish to say
that there is great difference in the
ideas and policies practiced on these
extreme eastern dairy farms and those
In the dairy districts of Wisconsin. for
instance. That difference is perhaps
well defined by saying that on the
specialized dairy farm Of the east the
principal reliance is from the milk
alone. You will find but very few
young cattle or hogs kept on these
farms. The drainage Is altogether out
of one spout-the milk spout 1t Is
needless to say that that kind Of farm.

farmer; neither does 1t institute a sys.

will thrive exceedingly we'll The Wis
consin dairy farmer has built up a
wide demand for his grade Holstein
and Guernsey cows and heifers. Here
ID a source of revenue that IL closely
akin to that of steer raising with the
double advantage Of the milk after the
heifer is two years old.
To illustrate, the farmers Of Jeffcr-
son county, Wis, realize from their
cows in milk product over $2.O0O,OO
annually. while from the sale Of cows
and hcifers they receive about $780,
600. This combining dairying with
dairy stock breeding and raising makes
Of the farmer much better equipped
man all around, while 1t enhances his
profits. Most Of the milk Is handled
In creameries. and the skimmilk prod
uct. with the abundant corn crops and
alfalfa and clover. enables the farmer
to turn a tine pork crop every year.
This all around dairy farming pays
well when intelllgentIy managed, with
the added advantage that the farmer
is more his own master. and his calling
educates him more broadly and more
completely.
Dairy farmers must become better
stock raisers than they have been,
whether they operate east or west, II
they want larger profits and larger
share In what they earn. A few men
cannot control the butter market or
pork market or the market for cows
and heifers as they do the milk market
In large cities.
