VALUE OF DAIRY
COW SET FORTH
Ability to Fill the Pail Is the True
Test of Her Financial Worth
Pure Breed Best

The value of any dairy cow, grant
ing she is sound and not too old
should be based upon her ability at
the pail, says George P. Grout in Fruit
and Farm.
If she produces 100 pounds of butter
in a year at 80 cents she is worth $4S
If she produces 260 pounds of butter
in a year at 80 cents she is worth $78
If she produces $50 pounds of butter
in year at 80 cents she is worth $1O8
If she produces AGO pounds of butter
in year at 80 cents she is worth $138.
If she produces $50 pounds of butter
in year at 80 cents she is worth $168
If she produces go pounds of butter
in year at 80 cents she is worth $198.
The estimated value and selling
price of yearling heifer is half that
of her dam as figured above.
The estimated value of pure bred
COW is four times that of grade based
on the above figures. BY this way OF
figuring the 100 pounds pure bred is
worth 1872. AS matter Of fact the
100 pounds pure bred is not worth
anything If that is all she is ever ca
pable of making.
The estimated value of a pure bred
bull calf Is the average of the sum of
his dams record in pounds of butter
taken with the average production in.
heritance of the bulls sire; for ex-
ample, If we'll marked and good indi-
vidual bull calf is out of 400-pound
fat dam or 4S0 pounds butter, as we
have been figuring, and his sire has
two A. r. daughters whose average
record is 500 pounds fat or 600 pounds
butter, or his dam has record of 500
pounds fat and the grandsire two A.
r. daughters with an average of 500
pounds fat and 600 pounds butter, we
add the $50 pounds and 600 pounds to-
gether and divide by two, and we have
$40 pounds of butter, multiplied by 80
cents gives $162, the estimated selling
price of the bull calf.
Some animals whose prepotency has
been demonstrated are priceless in
building up a good herd

: FORESTRY NOTES.

= From u. 8. Forestry Department. =
There are about 81 pines native to
the United States, of which rs are
Western species, and IL Eastern.
Paraguay has valuable forest re-
sources, the most important Of which
is quebracho, particularly rich in tan
min.
Much of the cork used throughout
the world comes from Portugal, which
harvests about $4,000 tons year.
Germany is said to have an oversup-
ply Of foresters, so that well educated
men have hard work to secure even in
ferior positions.
One Of the largest forest nurseries
In the United States is conducted by
the forest service near Haugen, Mon.
tana. 1t is known as the Savenac nur-
sery and has capacity of 100000
young trees year.
The forests of Norway are mostly In
private or municipal ownership, the
nation owning 28.5 per cent. of the to.
TAI forest area. The national forests
OF the United States occupy only about
~ per cent of the total forest area OF
the country.

Dairyuicn'S Profits,

tSkagit County Courier)
A mixed herd of % Holsteins and
Durhams owned in Skagit county by
Dunlap & Gallagher and maintained
on lO0acre farm situated in the fa-
nous Swinomish delta district earned
the owners the gross sum Of $3,5l4.69,
or an average per COW of $l40.5S.
This was the herd record for the
year 1872; the previous year the ind
Vldual members of the herd each earn

herd production of milk was material
ly less than it was during the similar
succeeding annual period of 1912.
The total gross income from all
sources of this 100-acre farm during
the year 1912 was, however, $4,75O.60.
During the period the owners raised
Is heifer calves from the best cows of
the herd, II of which will be develop
ed for future members of the herd, six
having been sold for a good round
profit-margin price.
This year the herd gives every prom

either OF the former periods. The herd

purchased from William Bishop, the
pure bred Holstein cattle breeder.
These figures eloquently demonstrate
that dairying pays, it substantially
pays in Skagit county
The dairymen, however, referred to
in the foregoing are intelligent and ca
pable business men, who are progress
sive in ideas and methods, prudent
and economical managers, and stu

dairying for profit.
Fairly Good Season for Farmers.
(Bckleton News.)
"The frost is on the pumpkin and
the folders in the shock" Harvest
is over, threshing is DONE and the
grain is on the way to market. For
many in this section it has not been a
bountiful year. However, when we
consider that about 100000 bushels of
grain were threshed, with good price
being paid for it, and that cattle, hogs,
horses, chickens, etc, also bring good
prices-well, probably some will have
a few dollars jingling in their peans.
There might have been more grain,
and we ought to have more money, of
course; but there is no report of any
one going hungry to bed up here, and
the outlook for the future is not so
bad. There has been a good rain to
sprout the grain, and more will come
when needed. 1t won't hurt to- think
that way, anyway, and it don't cost
any more to be cheerful.

1t is now general known that the
success of the agricultural exhibits this
year at the state fair was due largely
to the active interest taken by the
State Grange. They gave the support
of their sympathy and influence; they
gave in some cases personal direction
and oversight; in nearly every exhibit
the men at the front were Changers
who worked either officially or in a
private capacity. That is as it should
be, and it is hoped that the splendid
work done will react upon the Grange
in increased membership and power
and that their influence will continue
to make the Washington state fair
what it ought to be, complete expo
sition of the fruit and farm and stock
products of the whole state.

The governor of Massachusetts, last
week notified the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Engineers and Firemen of that
state that if they go out on a strike at
the present time to force the railroads
to recognize their demands that men
shall be promoted according to the
length of their service without regard
to ability, he will call the legislature
in extra session to pass law making
all strikes unlawful. The rights Of
the people, says this governor, are SUI
perior to the rights of the railroad
companies or their employees, and must
be the first consideration. Here's a
man of good sound sense, and appar-
entity with nerve enough to do what
he thinks is right.
IT'S Goodbye for the "Standpats."
(Friday Harbor JournaL)
There Is strong denunciation In
most of the newspapers Of the state of
the last legislature, on account of the
high rate of state taxes for next year.
A few papers of the standpat variety
have the nerve to try to place the
blame on Governor Lister, but the ma
jority of them are giving credit where
it belongs-on the venal legislature.
1t is safe gamble that very few OF
them will ever go to Olympia again.
