INCREASING WORTH OF COWS
Not Over one-Third Of Dairy Animals
In Ohio Produce 300 Pounds Of
Butter Fat Yearly.

An estimate made by the Ohio sta
ton indicates that not over one-third
Of the cows in that state will produce
800 pounds or more Of butter fat il
one year if reasonably fed. No dairy
man should be satisfied until the poor
est COW in his herd is capable of pro
ducing at least three hundred pounds
of butter fat per annum. The estimate
is further made that IL all COWS in the
state were developed to this point the
vG1ue Of the increased production of
butter fat would amoGnt to approx
mately $17,OOO,OOO annually, an amour
equal to the value of all butter now
made in the state. What is true fols
Ohio is equally true for the rest of
the country.

of keeping Leghorns or Hamburgs for
market purposes. Nor would Brah-
mas or Cochins be chosen as egg
producers.
For eggs alone, keep Leghorns,
Hamburgs, Spanish, Minorcas or one
of the other egg-producing non-setting
varieties. For market purposes choose
the Plymouth Rock, Brahma or Wyan-

for both purposes, then select from

Change the pens Of the ducks and
SOW the unused ground with rye or
barley.
To fatten ducks do not allow them
to have access to a swimming pool,
as the exercise of swimming keeps
them down.
The ground and duck pen should be
disinfected every spring and fall by
digging up and sowing some kind Of
a green crop.
Feed and water ducks at the same
time. You will notice that they take
a sip of water after every two or
three bites of food.
Young ducks are extremely nervous
and cannot stand undue excitement.
Keep the dogs and strangers away
from them.
A light placed in the roosting quar-

Beating a Cow.

Beating a COW is brutal and wrong,
demoralizing alike to the beater and

No one was ever reformed or made

have been taught to be deceitful by
the process. Keep your temper-don't t
