Dairy Farming Reduces
Weight and Bulk Of
Farm Products

The organism Of the dairy COW
is especially adapted for handling
bulky field crops. On this account
she Is especially suited for the far
mers of the central west and north
western states. The dairy cow can
utilize larger per cent OF the nut
rients in the form of bulky or
rough feeds than can any other
farm animal.
The three tons OF hay and one
ton of grain will occupy a space
equal to about 300 cubic feet.
This large volume the COW will
transform or change into about
300 pounds of butter occupying
only about five cubic feet of space
or to a volume of concentrated
human food only l-255 as large.
AS stated above dairy cow will
consume about three tons OF hay
and one ton Of grain or an amount
or field crop equal to about four
tons. This the dairy COW changes
into about 300 pounds OF the most
concentrated human food known.
The heavy field crop is reduced to
weight equal To l26 as much.
While these calculations cannot
be accurate for allcowS and for all
conditions. they are considered
conservative, and point with
great deal OF Significance to what
the dairy COW is able to do in the
way OF changing bulky and weigh
ty field crops into concentrated
human foods, for which there is
always a ready demand at high
prices.

Sweet Clover Better

The following inquiry was re-
Gently received by State College
and answered by Dr. A. y. Hume,
AgrOnOmist:
IF you have any literature
about the planting and tending Of
sand vetch, please send some to me.
We have no publications on vetch.
Our culture of it here so far has not
made us think it so promising ase
sweet clover, which is also a legume.

COMBINE CORN AND
PEAS FOR THE SIL0
Silage to Keep Well Must Be
Thoroughly Mixed, Evenly
Distributed and Tramped.

Corn seems TO be the best single
silo crop for the silo, and by COM
bining It with cowpeas or soy beans,
the feeding value is greater, ton for
ton than OF corn alone.
When corn is fully tasseled, It con-
tains less than one-fOurth as much
dry matter as when :he ears are fully
glazed From this time to maturity,
the increase is but slight.
For the silage to keep well, the
corn should not be cut until most OF
the kernels are glazed and hard, II
too ripe, the silage will not settle well
and the air will not be sufficiently
excluded to prevent spelling.
The corn is most easily handled by
cutting with a corn binder and using
a silage cutter OF a sufficient capacity
20 avoid the necessity OF cutting bands.
II silage is to keep well, the leaves
and heavier parts must be kept thor
oughly mixed. evenly distributed in
the silo, and well tramped next the
wall
After filling the top, six inches
should be wet at once and the whole
surface tramped every day for a week
to obtain a thin, compact layer which
will exclude the air.
An investigation recently concluded
at the Indiana experiment station has
proved without doubt the high value

CBy ELMER HENDERSON. Ininois)
OF recent years there has been
great deal OF agitation over whether
the large type OF medium type animal
is the most profitable. The owners
Of the large type animals have taken
it for granted that their animals are
as profitable as the medium type per
unit OF grain consumed. and argued
therefrom that as their animals we're
larger and carried more grain to mar
ket they must be the more profitable.
Such is not necessarily the case.
Let us look at the case from the
beginning, as IL were. Suppose we
take the Shropshire as typical OF the
medium type Of sheep. and the OK
fcrd-Hampshire as exemplifying the
large type. We find by experience
Oh our own farm that while seven or
eight Shropshires can be kept on an
acre OF land. FIVE is all we could pos
sibly figure on keeping If Oxfcrds or
Hampshires were kept. Upon this ba-
sis. where a man had pasture enough
to keep l4O Shropshires. he could keep
only 100 oxfords, Hampshires or Cots
wolds.
The difference in grain eaten is also
something immense. While we are
feeding our Shropshire ewes only two
thirds of oats daily our Oxfords get as
much as one and one-quarter daily.
Almost twice the amount.
The advocates OF the larger type Of
sheep admit this to be true. but they
say, "our sheep will weigh 80 pounds
at the age yours will weigh 75
pounds"
Let us grant this for the time being
There is yet another consideration.
While your 100 ewes Of the large type
are doing well II they raise 100 lambs
one and one-half is common and one
and three-Guarters lambs per eve is
not unusual in well handled Shrop-
shire flocks. One and one-half lambs
per eve may be taken as q fair aver
age Our 140 Shropshire ewes would
have produced for US 2l0 lambs
against the 100 lambs OF the larger
type sheep.
Then, too. our Shropshire ewes are
such superior mixers and the lambs
such perfect mutton animals. that
when they go to market there is no
comparison between the condition OF
the two lots OF lambs. While the one
lot is big and rough and not fat

The Pioneer Mother.

The school children OF California
are saving up their pennies to pay
for the monument to the pioneer
mother which is TO be executed by
Charles Gradfey for the Panama-Pa-
cific exposition. The woman's board
of the exposition suggested that such
a statue be erected and the children
were the first to respond, sending in
an avalanche OF pennies. The CEN
trail figure is that of the pioneer
mother dressed in a homespun gown
and at her knees are two sturdy lit
tie children.

their easy feshing quality will be
