When going into the dairy business
with a small amount of money, it IS
important that results be obtained at
once, in order that living may be
made from the start. 1t is not an easy
matter to outline policy that will
bring success from the start, no mat
ter what occupation one may select;
and it is harder to figure with certain
ty in a business which depends so
much upon the weather and upon the
health of stock than it is in many
other lines of work. When one is
starting in the dairy business would
advise the selection of ten or fifteen
good cows, regardless of color or
when just ready to freshen, SO much
the better. My experience would lead
me to steer clear Of young heifers, and
to select cows four or five years old,
that have had one or two live calves.
For practical use, and to make sure
of your weekly income, give due con-
sideration to cows of deep body and
apparently good constitution. Too
much Importance cannot be attached
20 this point. This does not mean
that, in order to get hardy stock, you
must select beef COW, but that you
should select deep bodied animals,
having good heart girth. After select
ing a foundation herd, having good
big middles, with ability to eat large
amount of roughage, see that the cows
have tendency towards milk produc-
ton rather than towards beef.
Your cows should be purchased from
herds free from abortion. They
should also be tested for tuberculosis,
and none accepted that are not free
therefrom. When these things are
done, you have taken the first step in
building up a successful dairy.
The matter of feed is of next con-
sideration Cows that are about to
freshen should be in moderately good
condition, for two very good reasons,
If not more. First, because they are

ing period in good shape, when in mod
crate condition, and second because
they will make a much better record
during their period of lactation. Fu-
ture success depends much upon the
feeding, care and management of the
herd; but, as space will not permit of
our dwelling on these topics, it is
suggested that the reader write for
Bulletins Nos, 10 and Il of the Exten-
sion Division University Farm, st.
Paul.
This article would / e incomplete,
however, without a statement as to
scientific feeding. From my expert
ence there are many cows, now con-

possibly with poor hay, but gives the
grain to his horses and pigs. These
conditions are gradually changing
with the growth of the creamery in
dustry in our state; but in times past
too little grain has gone to the COWS,
and the grain fed them has not been
properly balanced to give economical
results.
Since clover is becoming more
common crop, it is not so difficult a
matter as formerly to supply the need
ed protein; but, until recently, wild
or timothy hay, with corn and barley
furnished the ration for the dairy COW.
These feeds are high in carbohydrates
and low in protein. Since good dairy
cattle would do poor work on such
rations, what then could be expected
of the native or common COW? Unless
clover is grown, it will be necessary
to purchase some mill feeds to go
with the farm grown grains; and, to
make a success of dairying, reason
ably we'll balanced ration should be
fed. This does not mean that you
must mix a different ration for each
cow. At the Jean Du Luth farm we
have a standard mixture of grains for
our herd, and each cow gets the same
mixture in different amounts.
After selecting the foundation herd
of common cows, and arranging for
proper feed, the selection of a pure
bred sire to head the herd is impor-
tant. There are several good dairy
breeds, and never care to express an
opinion as to which is the best Sc
lect the breed you like the best, and
stick to it. Purchase good, hardy
sire, from tested dam, and use the
scales and Babcock test in wedding
out your "boarders." If your neighbor
has good grade dairy stock, it may be
well for you to purchase pure bred
bull of the same breed; then you can
cooperate and exchange bulls.
The state dairy and food reports
show the average productions of the
Minnesota COW to be about 1876 pounds
Of butter fat, or about sixteen pounds
of butter. By scientific breeding,
care and feeding, We believe this can
be increased by 100 pounds. There
seems to be very little difference, if
any, in the production of fine high
grade and of good pure bred COW. For
the average farmer, then, the building
up of good herd should come through
the Introduction of a pure bred sire,
of known descent.
The fact that a COW is a Shorthorn.
q Holstein or a Red Poll does not
make her dual purpose animal. On
the home farm, when was a boy, we
had Shorthorns that would give lots
of milk; but they were not dual pur-
| pose animals. They were as clean
cut as many dairy animals Many
Holsteins, if selected long enough,
through several generations, would
take on quite beefy form; and again,
Red Polls selected for milk produc-
tion-as they have been on the Jean
Du Luth farm-are not the kind that
would win prizes in Red Polled classes
at fairs; as they are too angular in
form and on the dairy order. When
they are dry, they put on more meat
than Jersey or Guernsey animal;
but this. does not make them typical
beef animals.

WATERING THE FLOCK.
One Method of Caring for Chickens
That Is Successful.

Pure, clean, fresh water should be
supplied daily. When we consider
that major part OF the hens body is
liquid, and that her product, the egg,
contains 65 per cent of water, the
necessity of good drinking water is
evident. The water supplied affects
the quality of the egg quite as much
as the grain given. If the flock must
seek their feed and water in the barn.
yard, the quality of the eggs will not
be No. 1. Not only so, but the health
of the flock will be impaired.
A good drinking vessel for summer
is an earthen crock, holding about
six or eight quarts. This is easily
cleaned, and by thoroughly scalding
three or four times a week can be
kept in a sanitary condition. A crock
can be used in winter also, but a gal
vanized pan of about the same ca
pacity is preferable. This should be
placed on box or table, about two
feet above the floor, to avoid dirt and
litter. To keep the water from freez-
ing on cold days, jug filled with hot
water, tightly corked, placed in the
crock or pan, will keep the water at
about the right temperature to be rel
ished by Biddy. The water should not
be too hot, nor should the hens be COM
PEELED to drink icy water. Both ex-
tremes should be avoided. The use
of the jug of hot water during the
day and careful emptying of both
vessel and jug at night after the hens
go to roost, and renewal each day,
will give q satisfactory water supply.

The Dead Level Of
Democracy.
by DIR. FRANK CRANE.

Those who talk OF the dead level OF
democracy are the victims of a con-
fusion of ideas.
Democracy does not mean universal
mediocrity. II is not a war cry of the
ervious and gifted against superior
people.
On the contrary there Will be just as
much difference between men when the
last monarch is deported, the last bill
lionaire's goods appropriated for the peo-
pie, and the last noble sons of noble
families compelled to go to work or
starve. as there is now, or ever has been
in the most sumptuous era of medieval
display
Democracy does not threaten the
stronger and more capable; it gives them
a chance, which they do not have when
privilege IS i'll the saddle.
Democracy combats not aristocracy
(which means the rule of the best'),
but il does away with false and arti-
fetal aristocracy. to make way for d true
and real aristocracy.

are born superior to others. l have no
