The combination beef and dairy
COW has been thus described: A cow
that Is large, strong and vigorous, full
Of energy and Astounding in vitality;
physical organization and digestive
capacity such that she is able to turn
to the best advantage the roughage OF
the farm, converting it into merchant
able products; that she yields large
quantities of most excellent milk ut
for any and all uses; that heredity is
30 firmly established that she Is able
to perpetuate herself through the pro-
duction of strong. healthy calves; and
that when for any reason her useful
ness in the dairy is at an end, she
fattens readily and makes excellent
beef.
No one will deny the need Of dual
purpose dairy breed in America-one
that Is primarily q dairy breed but
that will also furnish desirable beef.
The old system of beef production
resting on free range, cheap lands and
cheap feed is even now thing of the
past, Meats Of all kinds are, year by
year, advancing in price; and If the
working people are to have beef at all
within their means, 1t must come

SEPARATOR is QUITE USEFUL
To Secure Last Cent of Profit Out of
Dairy One Must Take Every Pre-.
caution to Get Most Milk.

The modern dairy is very different
from the dairy Of the old time, and to
get the last cent of profit out of your
labor, and out of your COW, you must
take every precaution for securing the
largest quantity Of milk and for get
ting from that milk the largest guam.
tity of butter and cream.
One way is to get a separator and
then to learn how to use the separator.
Then you must study the food prob
lem You must keep an account with
every COW. If you have three or Ave
or ten. do net average the production
OF milk. Keep a separate account with
each cow and find out whether each
COW is producing enough to justify
you in feeding, 1t and caring for it.
This is the foundation of success In
the dairy.

SWINE ON ALFALFA PASTURE
Desirable to Have Fields Fenced OF
Into Suitable Areas to Shift Hogs
From One to Another.

By G. W. BARNES, Arizona Experiment
station.)
While few hogs can be raised con.
fined in limited quarters, provided
such quarters are kept clean, they
will do better, remain healthier and
produce pork more economically il
they have plenty Of alfalfa range.
1t is desirable to have the alfalfa
pasture fenced of into suitable areas,
So that the hogs can be shifted from
one pasture TO another. This will not
only provide fresh pasture, but will
give an opportunity to cultivate, and
if need be to disinfect.
Practically all cases Of intestinal
worms, which are common In swine,
are contracted from infected grounds:
therefore, by pasture rotation you can
help keep your hogs free from these
parasites.

and that the average COW does not
give a return of exceeding $40 per
year for the labor invested and food
consumed.
With increasing land values and
cost of labor and feed, such a return
gives little OF no profit: and 1t is up TO
the farmer-dairyman keeping average
cows to find out why he is working
without compensation. If the average
dairy herd In the United States pro-
duces just enough to induce its owner
to keep on working, 1t Is evident that
many COWS are kept at loss, and that
If the average production could be
raised nice profit would result. 1t
is also evident that the only way to
raise the average Is to improve the
methods of caring for the cattle and
also the cattle themselves. BY i'm.
proving the methods, 1t Is quite likely
that the better three-fourths of the
cows would produce as much profit as
all now do, and the one-fourth now
kept at a dead loss might be sent to
the block without decreasing the out
put of dairy products. The man who
milks COWS merely for the pleasure he
gets out of it, provided he can afford
1t, may confer a favor on humanity,
but does not show good judgment, and
the sooner such men can be induced
to change their methods the better 1t
will be for the whole dairy industry.
Improvement in conditions is neces-
sarily slow The greater part of the
owners are lethargic; but there is al.
ways a progressive portion that is
looking for better things, and this
portion will in time leaven the whole
mass. The main cause Of this lethargy
Is ignorance. Few men would keep
improbable cows If they knew which
were kept at a loss; but they do not
| test the COWS individually and SO can
not know.
All progress in dairy husbandry,
aside from improved methods of car.
ing for the cattle, must depend upon
Improvement by selection and by
breeding. BY selection Of the best
COWS, and breeding to the sons Of best
COWS, in time a great improvement
would be shown; but this process is
too slow when there is quicker way.
That quicker way Is to make use OF
the improved dairy breeds for the OBJ.
tanning of bulls with which to mate
the selected cows. An improved breed
is one that is able to convert food in.
to valuable products more profitably
than could the breed or breeds from
which it was derived Also 1t must be
so thoroughly established that 1t will
breed true. The breed which should
be carefully bred to is the one that
excels in the profitable production OF
milk, butter, cheese and veal, and also
beef production.
