(By w. MILTON KELLY)
There is no denying the fact that
too many dairymen are carrying their
business at loss and occasional in
stances of a marked success in the
business appear to indicate that dairy
ing can be Put on a paying basis.
There are many things that COM
mend dairying to the farmer, among
which may be named a certainty of
getting good prices for the products
of the farm and the elimination of the
speculative element which surrounds
growing and marketing other prod
ucts.
To conduct dairy farm at profit,
we must feed good cows. They should
be good individuals and selected from
the breed which is best adapted to
the particular branch of dairying that
is being made our specially and to
the conditions of our farms.
No one breed or type is adapted to
all conditions, else there would be
little need for so much diversity of
size, conformation and quality of prod
uct.
For the economical production of
butter and cream (or of very rich
milk that is suitable for a fancy trade)
it is best to keep Jerseys or Guern-
seys, that is; providing, of course, that
we will give them the care and treat
ment they are accustomed on their
native land.
Jersey and Guernsey cows produce
less milk solids, other than fat, this
enabling them to turn larger proper
tions of their food and energy into the
production of the desired product
than cows of breeds which yield a
larger quantity Of milk deficient in
butterfat.
On certain farms where the pas
ture is scant or where the land is
rough and rolling, and where sum-
mer dairying is practiced, that COW
which is capable of doing the best
work under such conditions would be
the best adapted to the economy of
the dairy.
For such a farm the man would
best select the Ayrshire, or high
grades of that breed. They have been

MAIN ADVANTAGES
OF "HOGGING" CORN
Practice to Be Profitable Must
Be Rightly Managed-TriaIs
at Missouri Station.

cultural experiment station and has

ber Of feeders.
The main advantages are: (D The
hogs make rapid and more economical
gains; (2) 1t saves the labor of har-
vesting; (3) the manure is returned
to the land without loss and without
labor; a. the place of feeding is
more sanitary than the ordinary feed
lot; (5) the grain is harvested with
out waste.
Eleven trials with hogging dow
corn at the Missouri agricultural ex
pertinent station have shown thai
there is no better, way of finishing
hogs than by allowing them to d.
their own harvesting. To be profit
able, however, the practice must b,
rightly managed. The hogs should be
given access at one time to what they
will clean up in ten days or two weeks
This insures fresh forage and they
will clean it up we'll as they go. A
cheap, efficient, temporary fence i
made with woven wire.
Get the hogs on full feed of new
corn before turning them into the
field by cutting few stalks at FIRST
and increasing gradually. The corn is
in good condition to turn into when
the dent has Just formed in the
kernel.
For best results the hogs doing their
own harvesting should receive soml
feed in addition to the corn. This
supplement may be supplied with
crops like rape, soy beans, ETC., which
should have been grown in the corn
field that is to be harvested. If no
such crops have been planted a small
amount of some feed like tankaSs
should be fed.

SIMPLE MATTER TO

(By z. A. KIRKPATRICK, Minnesota

Experiment Station)
Cabbage storing is rather simple
and easy. The shrinkage is small. A
cheaply constructed bank or hillside
root cellar, or a basement under al
most any farm building, is the only
storehouse necessary. This should not
be too dry and should be place
which could be kept at a temperature
of above 40 or so degrees in the early
part of the season. This is often ac-
complished by opening the doors to let
in the cool night air and closing them
to keep out the warmer air during
the remainder of the day. Later, of
course, the doors must be kept closed
continuously.
In storing, most growers place the
heads in cellar with all leaves and
roots attached. Many market garden.

water bathe the affected parts thor

and the skin is softened. Dry very
gently, spread on thin layer Of the

light bandage-if necessary to protect

twice a day. Usually the distressing

treatment, and the skin soon becomes

KANSAS CONVICTS ESCAPE
Five Men Headed by Train Robber
Break Out of the State Prison
at Lansing.

Led by William La Trasse, train rob-
Der, five convicts escaped from the
Kansas state prison in Lansing recent
ly by cutting their way through the
roof Of one of the cellhouses. The five
men, among the most desperate con-
victs in the prison, are William La
Trasse, Frank Miller No. 4, Ben Davis,
Chris Bauman and Roy Benson.
Warden Codding said that there is
mystery in connection with the escape
of the convicts. 1t is believed they
had help both outside of the walls
and inside. The five men were held
in different cells joining in the south
cell house wing. Their cells were on
the third tier and there were two
guards stationed in the cell house. The
cells have not been sawed through.
They either were left unlocked when
the men came in at night or were
opened by someone.
From their cells the convicts crawl
ed to the top of the cell block. They
had prepared ropes from twine and
sheeting. One of these they threw
over an air fan near the roof. They
drew themselves up and with short
iron bar pried their way through the
roof. The roof was in bad shape and
the prison authorities had ordered a
new one put on. From the roof the
convicts lowered themselves by means
of their ropes.
