found that there is a great variation
in the milk yield of cows receiving the
same amount of feed. The cost of
production is usually inversely proper
tional to the amount Of production.
Abundant opportunity for improve
ment exists here in the Northwest, if
we but avail ourselves of it. If proper
methods are used, improvement can be
easily and quickly effected.
"The breeding Of cattle is an in
tegral part of the progressive dairy
mans business. The herd must be re-
plenished and the natural increase
cared for If continuous productiveness
is provided for. The usefulness of the
average dairy COW does not cover a
period Of more than eight years. For
various reasons animals are continual
ly dropping out or being discarded.
Not fewer than 80, 900 cows are need
ed TO replace those that will finish
their profitable work in the herds Of
Oregon this year and furnish the nec-
essary increase.
"These must be secured either by
purchasing outside the state or by

raising heifer calves. Some dairymen
depend upon purchase and others raise
calves enough each year to keep up the
number in the herd.
"If these 80, 900 cows were as much
superior to their dams as they could be
made by proper methods of breeding,
this state would soon attract the atten-
tion of the whole world because of the
high average production of its dairy
cows. The aim of the breeder should
not be merely to secure reproduction,
but to secure animals that are superior
to their ancestors.
"In bringing about this improve
ment it is not necessary to establish
new types or breeds. The Jerseys,
Holsteins, Guernseys, and Ayreshires,
respond favorably to our conditios.
''The first step in improvement is to
stop at once the crossing of breeds and
the use of grade or scrub bulls. There
is not much hope of improving herds
by buying cattle, for not often do our

neighbors wish to sell their best cattle.
Further, the time, expense and labor
involved in hunting stock are almost
prohibitive to busy farmer. Where
the standard of production is main
tanned by purchasing cows to keep up
the herd there is grave risk of intro
ducing tuberculosis or other contagious
diseases into the herd.
"Our easiest, quickest and most
satisfactory method of improving our
dairy herds is the use of meritorious
sire of one of the dairy breeds, the
careful selection and raising of his
daughters from the best cows, and
systematic cooperative breeding.
There is nothing that will pay the
dairyman better than to study his herd
carefully and take steps to start breed
ing operations with the definite object
in view of increasing the value of his
herd through ,weeding out the un-
profitable cows and selecting carefully
the animals to be mated. In selection,

Young chicks receive the first feed
at the Oregon station when about "a

mixed crumbly with raw egg, or bread
dipped in milk and squeezed dry, twice
day for the first week, and equal
parts OF cracked wheat and cracked
corn on clean sand three times a day.

Need of Better Dairy
COlDs ShOUn By Tests

Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
vallis-Most of the items of cost that
enter into. the production of milk have
greatly increased in cost during the
last few years, but there has not been
a corresponding increase in the price
of milk and milk products. Since the
success of the dairymen is dependent
upon the relative cost of production
and price of dairy products it is evil
dent that he must lower the cost of
production if he is to carry on his bus
mess with any profit. 1t is plain
that he cannot fix or materially alter
the price of dairy products. The cost
of feed, labor, equipment and dairy
operation is also largely beyond his
power of extensive control. The solu-
tion, of this embarrassing situation,
which is becoming acute, is to keep
better cows.

"The problem is not a difficult one
and Improvement of both type and
producing ability can be easily effect
ed" says Professor Graves, head of
the college dairy department. "That
there is great need of improvement in
the producing power of the average
dairy herd of our state is very evident.
Two facts of vital Importance to dairy
men have been revealed in the work
of experiment stations, COW testing
associations, and investigation by
creameries. These are, a great varia-
tion in the producing ability of differ
ent individuals in the herd, and a low
average yield per cow. These results
have shown the farmers the need of
awakening to more careful study and
investigation of the producing power
of their cows. 1t has been shown in
these Investigations that the best cow
sometimes yields two or three times as
much as the poorest And, record
of food eaten is also kept, it will be

Too Green.

During his last visit to America Sir
Gilbert Parker, the novelist, bested a
New York editor in a discussion OF
books. Sir Gilbert told the story at q
literary luncheon.
I'VE were discussing books and au-
thors." said the novelist, "and l quot.
ed Lord Rosebery's dictum that most
books in library ought to be burned.
Lord Rosebery is mistaken the
editor retorted; It is not most books,
but most authors that ought to be
burned
but the worm turned on its tyrant, "
concluded Sir Gilbert, "and said:
"'That may be true. but judging
from the publishers share Of the prof.
It's OF the authorial labors. most au'
thors are too green to burn"
