II is only right to add to the
above, that if Edgar had not trans
planted the cotton plants as he did
be would have fallen a good deal
short of winning the big $50 prize
given him by the Farmers and
Merchants Bank, as he only had a
very few pounds more than several
other contestants.
And, a similar extra care won the
corn premium OF $50 given to Bon
ME Wear by the First National
Bank, he going into his field after
d heavy wind storm and straight
ening up and sometimes tying TO
stakes the corn blown down.
And who can say that these extra
hours Of work do not pay, even en-

lure?
Good farming, like good work in
any other occupation, always pays.

Caro- of the Heifers.

The most common mistake made In
developing a heifer is in not recogniz-
ing the fact that she Is actually Il COW
and needs caring for the same as any
cow and imagining that she needs q
special looking after or, its extreme
no care and that any odds and ends
are good enough feed: also that she
needs to rough 1t" to make her hardy
and cause her to take hold of her
feed without any signs of daintimeSs
All this last Is wholly wrong and has
no part in the proper developing of 6
heifer. First, hardness and consttu

The KICKING Cow

In many instances the mixer makes
or unmakes a cow. Better never put a
fine cow into the hands Of n poor milk
or, 1t will do no harm, however, and
1t may do much good to put the poor
cow into the hands OF good mixer
The COW that is naturally vicious and
possesses a tendency to kick or switch
her tail in the mixers face at frequent
intervals Is apt to so exasperate that
person that he may not only handle her
roughly. but also deal out the same
treatment to the other cows Thus she
is detrment to the entire herd In an
indirect way.-Farm and Fireside

and level. In the conformation Of the
thighs and legs there should be ample
udder room.
The udder itself should commence
well up and extend along the under
line until 1t gradually blends with H.
thus insuring the greatest capacity
The veins should be prominent, indi.
eating large amount Of blood cirCu-
lation. The milk vein which extends
from the udder along the under side OF
the abdominal wall should be large.
crooked and long These veins bear a
direct relation to the milk secreted.
In addition to these general charac-
teristios a breeder may desire distin-
gushing breed characteristics and uni
formity of type In his herd.
A happy combination of pedigree
and selection Of the animal Is what IL
needed by the breeder The more ami
mails one has OF high breeding quality
In the pedigree the less likelihood one
has of bringing together two low pro
ducing characters and getting as re
suit an animal OF low production. 1t
Is generally conceded that the intlu-
ence OF parents In heredity Is 30 per
cent, OF the grandparents Is per cent
and of the great grandparents but 1913
per cent. Thus an animal that is re
moved six or seven generations from
another animal under consideration
has but small influence. l..

VALUE OF SILAGE
AS A WINTER FEED

All farmers Will agree that pastures
furnish the most ideal feed for all
classes of live stock. and, Judging
from the experiments, the most profit
able adjunct of corn and hay in ra'
ton for dairy cows, fattcning steers
and sheep, writes w. z. Forbes In the
Kansas Farmer.
There Is no feed like the green
grasses of our pastures to tone up the
system of the aged stock and put the
young stock in condition Of thrift
and growth.
What boon 1t would he If we could
have pasture for our stock the year
around! But this is impossible, So the
next best thing we can do is to find
some feed that is as near like pasture
grass as is possible. to find feed
that is palatable and one that can I've
raised on our farms,
In searching about for winter feeds
of this description we find that there
are only two such feeds which can be
grown protitahly. These feeds are
roots and corn enslagc In comparing
that corn enSilage has Il slight advan-
tage. in that il gives us larger gains
and milk Yields. but this difference Is
very small and of littIc consequence.
Let us consider them which crop
gives the largest tonnage per acre and
requires the least labor to grow.
First, we find that cnsilagc will
vAlI bA al ha
again as much per acre as mangels,
the largest yielding root crop we can
grow. In considering the labor. Arms
by Of the PENNSYLVANIA station says 1t
costs over twice as much to tend and
harvest an acre Of roots as compared
with raising and putting into the silo
an acre of corn. Drawing our conclu
sion from these statements, corn en-
silage Is ny far the better pasture sub
stitute Of the two.
Professor 4. l.. Hacker of the Ne
braska station has worked out some
interesting data on the cost of produc
ing ton of silage. Figuring in the
rent of land. blowing, cost of seed,
planting and cultivating. he found that
filling the silo, allowing liberal wage
for men and teams, he found to be "a
cents per ton. The cost of machinery
and storage, including all items such
as interest on money invested, depre
citation and repairs and even taxes and
insurance, was 4S cents per ton. Add
ing these three initial costs together.
we find that the cost of producing Il
ton of corn silage to be $1.94. Pro
fessor John Bower of Iowa has anoth-
er way of figuring 1t in which he ar
riveS at about the same figures.
The next question would be, What is
a ton of corn ensilage worth? Since
1t has no market value, because 1t can
will have to figure its value by com
pairing 1t with other feeds and rough
age. On this basis the best authori-
ties estimate it's value at from IS to SO
per ton. Taking the lowest value Of
IS per ton and deducting $194, the
cost of a ton of silage, we still have a
margin of $3.06 per ton. On hundred
ton silo this would mean n saving in
one year of $306 worth of feed, to say
nothing of the labor saved and the
general good condition Of the stock
resulting from the feeding OF silage
So the farmers are right who testify
that a silo erected on their farms and
filed will pay for itself in year.
