Presumably you will select grades in
which case they should show prom
inently the blood of a dairy bred
animal. Above all get COWS that are
persistent mixers and especially get
those who have dams and grand dams
we'll known to be high producers.
There is no question but that it is
possible to make a profit with dairy
COW. However too many dairyman
lose out because they start with a low
producing COW. AS nearly as [ can
estimate your expenses will be as

Total 1927. 80
To meet these expenses your COWS
must produce as follows:
1900 lbs. fat at 80 cents. 49,. $576. 90
30, 900 lbs. skimmilk at 80 cents 10000
Three calves at $40. 90 ........ 1000
Manure. ........ IA.OU
Total 1923. 90
You note from this that you will not
have very large margin. However
if you sell sweet cream or if you get
premium on sweet cream above the
regular market price for sour cream
your income will be little larger.
The essential point to consider is that
unless you secure a COW giving 800
pounds of fat or more per year you
are not going to make much Roadway.
Again it is just as important that you
save the manure as to save the other
products from the COW. If in the
above estimate the prices assumed do
not fit your conditions they may be
changed as you choose.
POINTS OF A GOOD MILK COW.
Question:: | am writing for in

the box or bin be made to steam it in?
Answer: Where the. stems are very
woody and the COWS leave large por-
tions of them, it will be more econ
omical to have the feed cut. We are
at present feeding cut alfalfa, mixing
1t with the silage and we. find that the
COWS eat it up clean, whereas they
left half of it before we had it cut.
Good results may sometimes be
obtained by steaming alfalfa without
grinding. This is best done in large
wooden box, fairly tight, in which is
inserted a small steam pipe at the
bottom. Steaming for "a hours is
usually sufficient to moisten up the

with the exceptions of the teats. The
two on the right side are very close
together. In fact at the udder they
are together, while the ends are per-

such would not materially affect the
milking am at loss to know whether
such is vital objection to such. In

choose a COW with teats "wen apart. "

was for convenience in milking or for

chez, Wash.
Answer: The most important points
to consider in the selection of a cow
are as follows: Angular in form,
showing no tendency to lay on flesh.
Should be deep chested, we'll sprung
ribs, large barrel, large udder, at
tached we'll up behind and extending
we'll forward. 1t is best to have the
teats far apart, not only for con-
venience in milking, but it shows
more capacity. Teats should be OF
moderate size. More important than
these, however, is that of production.
You should have a COW that is per-
sistent mixer and preferably from a
dam who is also a persistent mixer.

Answer: There are a number OF
things to be considered before you
make this start. They may be
enumerated as follows: Location:
Are you near to market whore there
will be an unlimited demand for your
product? Will it demand much of
your time to market the product?
Can you secure market all the year
around? Cows: In selecting the
COWS be sure that they are dairy COWS
and not beef COWS, especially since
you expect to pay 500 apiece for
them. A good dairy COW should be
rather angular in form, showing no
tendency to lay on flesh while in full
flow of milk. Should be deep chested,
large udder, attached we'll up behind
and extending we'll forward, teats
should be evenly placed of moderate

ury in st. Paul as buying gasoline

on the st. Paul Board OF Trade Fri
day when the prices Of ali grades Of
hay smashed all known records and
gave Indications OF going still higher.
Choice timothy--the kind that is or
dinarily used to feed OLD Dobbin-rose
Ito $50 a ton and there was very little
to be had at that price. Mo- clover

Hay dealers said that two or three

Hay dealers explain that the farmer

The Modern Idea
Of South Dakota

The farming areas of North and
South Dakota, and these include al
most the total acreage of the two
states, are the richest agricultural
lands in the world. Facts will bear
out the statement.
In the early days of immigration to
the e northwest, the homesteaders
went out into virgin prairies, covered
with bunch grass and they saw count.
less thousands of buffalo, fattening
on this nutritious food. They said
these are the lands for stock cattle,
better for grazing than anything else
and then they turned the cattle in
to range the hills and when market
time came, the stock from these drew
all the prizes and were the wonder
of the country. AS the white settlers
came in the buffalo and the Indian
withdrew, %retreating before advancing
civilization. True, the Indians did
not give up their ancient domain with.
out a struggle, and Dakota pioneers
can tell many a thrilling story of In
dian raids and bloody battles and the
cattlemen will tell you how they lost
their cattle and horses when the In.
dams were on the warpath. But civ.
~ilization marched on, and gradually
the Dakota cattle range grew famous
in the markets of the world.
When the railroad trains supplant,
ed the prairie scooners, they brought
farmers who tested the soil with
wheat and stood spech!ess with won.
derment when the crops came in,
Such had never before been seen.
Then, wheat was king in Dakota, and
the cattle went over beyond the Mis-.
souri, to the rich range on the western
