1t is at this time of year that the
man who has built silo begins to
realize returns for his investment. He
is supplying his stock with succulent
food during winter at minimum ex-
pense. He is justified in assuming
that his stock will be in better condi-
ton in the spring, for variety, as
we'll as an abundance in food, is nee
essary for stock to do their best. He
will probably be prepared to let the
bluegrass pasture get good start be-

BETTER ADAPTED TO PRODUCING
MILK THAN is SWITZERLAND.
BY c. H. EckIes, Professor of Dairy
Husbandry, College Of Agriculture,
University Of Missouri

The possibility of developing dairy
ing in the Ozark region may be real
lied by knowing what has been done
in similar regions elsewhere. If Swift
zerland should be placed over South
Missouri, it would scarcely cover that
area which we term the "Ozarks." In
square miles, Switzerland has little
less than one-fourth the area OF Mis-

The best type of silo is the round

Judge that not only is the Ozark re-
gion especially adapted for dairying
but that il is certain to be known far
and wide in the future for that indus
try. The things which adapt it to
dairying are:
"a Plenty of good pasture lands.
CO. An unlimited amount of good
water, easily procured.
co An ideal climate for stock.
ca The possibility of growing all
the feed needed on the farm.
There are as good markets within
reach as can be found anywhere. Any
farmer within reach of railroad can
sell any quantity of milk and cream
at the highest market price.
The reasons why the Ozark farmer
should keep cows are, first, because
there is money in it. The dairy cows
give returns every day in the year.
The cream from ten good-grade cows,
we'll cared for, will bring $50 or more
per month for every month in the
year. Some farmers in the Ozarks are
getting as much as So per month for
the milk of each COW.
Then, in regard to the fertility OF
the SOIL That is where dairy farming
is especially strong. The soil on a
dairy farm becomes richer instead of
poorer every year. The dairy COW
builds up the farm instead of tearing
it down. One farm in that region has
been increased in fertility by keeping
dairy cows until the corn yields from
rs to 100 bushels per acre. On the
same farm the yield was 10 bushels
when dairying was first begun.
The Ozark region produces good
pasture for two months longer than
the dairy states of Wisconsin and Min
nesota. Cows may be we'll fed with
feed grown entirely on the farm.
