Dairying in Switzerland
Henry Wallace Writes Interestingly About the Cows the
Fields and the Cheeses There.

Switzerland is prominently a live
stock country. Dairying ranks as one
of its greatest industries. yet in all
Switzerland there is only slightly more
than half as many milk COWS as there
are in Iowa OF horses, sheep and
swine. there are only about one-tenth
as many in Switzerland as there are
in Iowa The secret of the Swiss farm
er's success is to be found in the large
yield per COW. For instance, in 1911,
the average product of the 1858
Swiss COWS was given at 5000 pounds
Of milk for the year. The average
Iowa COW produces less than 1000
pounds in a year. |. will venture TO
say, although the Swiss COW eats much
more rough food than the Iowa COW,
that the Iowa COW eats more grain.
But the Swiss farmers are successful
not only because their COWS produce
large quantities Of milk, but because
they handle what milk is produced in
an economical manner. Not quite half
of il is sold in a fresh state TO be con-
sumed in the hotels and cities. Most
Of the rest of ii is made into cheese,
condensed milk. milk chocolate, and
butter.
In 1910, little Switzerland exported
over s12.O0OOOO worth of cheese. and
$4,000, 600 worth of condensed milk.
1t used al home 100000 of these
products. During the same year the
, creameries of Iowa sold outside the
state over $4,000. 900 worth of butter.
Seven hundred and sixty-five thousand
Iowa COWS, almos. exactly the same
number as in Switzerland. contributed
to those creameries. When we consid-

them. and in the winter hay is fed.
Very little grain is given.
Some of us thought it might be a
good thing for the rougher parts of
the New England states, as well as
parts of the middle west, where there
is plenty of rough feed and not much
mill feed, if the Brown Swiss and the
Simmenthaler breeds were brought in.
But at present there is no chance OF
such impor, ations. for there is foot
and mouth disease in Switzerland, and
our government will not allow Swiss
cattle TO come into the United States.

Most of his land is billy, rocky, sandy,

much hay and green soiling crops as
possible, so that he may feed his Sim

Iowa, with about the same number
of farmers. there are 10 agriculture

To look at the soil, you think that
the Swiss farmers would have a hard

a good way to their COWS, and market
the products of their COWS through the

er that the Iowa COWS only yielded
about two-thirds as much as the Swiss
cows, We come to the conclusion that
the Iowa Creameries are more profita-
BILE then the Swiss cheese factories
and condensed milk plants. At any
rate, the Iowa farmer gets nearly twice
as much for a quart of milk as the
Swiss farmer.
There are two main breeds of cattle
in Switzerland. the Simmenthaler and
the Brown Swiss. At the Zoliikoffen

THE FLORENCE DJSPENSARY
CASE.
Judge Fraser RevOkes Former Order
Hearing This Afternoon.

The hearing in the Florence djspen-
sary matter which was to have come
oe1ore Justice Fraser today at noon
was postponed at that time on his
suggestion to 3.3O O'Clock this after
noon, an unexpected turn in the case,
or at least a turn which neither coun-
sci Tor the prohibition or the ,dispen-
sary side of the argument were ex-
pecting.
"hen the court was called to or
der, Justice Fraser stated that since
he had granted his order to Mr.. Nc
Neal. he had been considering the
matter and had come to the conclu-
sion that he had been wrong in grant
Ing 1t at all, for the reason that this
was special election and that no
provision had been made in the stat
utes of the State, so far as he could
hnd, for the appointing of special
managers at special election and the
act Of 1912, under which the election
was called, did not order the appoint
ment Of special managers. The stat
utes further ordered that in case a
number of qualified voters gathered
at the polls and there were no mana
gers. they could themselves appoint
tnree managers, one of whom could
swear the others.
Justice Fraser stated that he might
be mistaken IN this opinion, but that
ne mad looked the matter up, al
though more exhaustive search might
show him that he was in error. He
asked for the views of the attorneys
on this point and Mr. MsNeal, the
attorney for the prohibition party in
Florence County, stated that he had
hoped that this was the law. He
further indicated that this ruling by
Justice Fraser was agreeable to: him,
Mr.. Baker. the attorney for the dis
penSary advocates, stated that he had
not considered this view of the matter
stating that his chief ac-;
tlon for today was to consist i'm ID
demurrer as to the Jurisdictions of
Justice Fraser in this matter. ...
Justice Fraser then stated that as
the matter was presented in diff
ferent light by his reversal of his pre-
viouS order. which came AS "a surprise
to Mr.. McNeal, he would suggest
that, as both parties had to remain in
town all day, the hearing be taken
up at $50 o'clock in the afternoon.
This suggestion was readily agreed to
by the attorneys and the hearing
comes up at that time, instead of at
noon.
