KEEPING cow RECORDS
Desirable to Keep Only Profitable
Animals.
With Well-Kept Accounts, oairyman
Has information Enabling Him to
Do Business in a Business
like Manner.
fBy G. II. ECKLEs.l


It is well known that there is a vast
difference in the amount Of milk diff
ferent COWS will produce. One COW
may yield three times as much milk
and butter in year as another on a
third to a half more feed. One COW
may be losing the dairyman as much
money as another in an adjoining stall
is making for him.
Clearly, it is desirable to keep only
the profitable cows. To do this means
that systematic records must be kept.
No guesswork will do. No COW should
be retained in the herd unless her
milk and butterfat record shows she
is profitable. At the Missouri expert
ment station one Jersey COW pro-
duced three times as much milk and
butter per year for three years as
another COW that was her half sister.
The difference in the cost of feed
eaten by the two cows was not great
and both received the same good care.
The Illinois experiment station
tested the herds of Is Illinois farmers
and found the same conditions to pre-
vail The best ten cows averaged 2S9
pounds of butter in year while the
poorest ten COWS averaged 109 pounds.
They found at least one-third of the
cows in the ordinary herds to be I'M
profitable. Many herds in other locali-
ties have been tested with the same
results 1t is the rule rather than the
exception for cows in the same herd to

FARM MANURE IS VALUABLE
Oldest and Most Popular of Fertilizers
immense Loss Through Careless
Methods of Management.
CIV e. B. HARTl

OF all fertilizers, farm fertilizers
farm manure--is the Oldest and still
the most popular. 1t consists of the
liquid and solid excreta of farm stock,
and the litter on which the excrement
is dropped.
A well-kept manure heap may be
safely taken as one of the surest indi-
cations of thrift and success in farm
ing. Neglect of this resource causes
losses, which, though little appreciated,
are vast in extent. Waste of manure
is both so common as to breed indif-
ference, and so silent as to escape
notice.
According to recent statistics there
are in the United States in round
numbers 2S,3OO,000 horses and mules,
7O,O00,000 cattle, 100000 hogs, and
57,50O,O00 sheep. Experiments indicate

Pruning RIackberrIee.

1t is best to prune blackberries in
the fall. Usually only five or six canes
from each root should be allowed to
grow, the others being pulled out
while they are still small When the
canes are az to feet high the tips
should be cut or pinched back two or
three inches, This checks upward
growth and many laterals push out.
These laterals bear the fruit the fol.

that il these animals were kept in
stalls or pens throughout the year and
the manure carefully saved, the ap-
proximate value of the fertilizing con-
stituents of the manure produced by
each horse or mule annually would
be $27, by each head of cattle $40, by
each hog 81, and by each sheep 81.
The fertilizing value of the manure
produced by the different classes of
farm animals in the United States
would, therefore, be for horses and
mules, $764,100,000; cattle, $1,40O,-
100000; hogs, $198,OOO,OOO, and sheep.
$115,000,000, or a total of $2,477 ,100,-

These estimates are based on the
values usually assigned to phosphoric
acid, potash, and nitrogen in CONNER
cial fertilizers, and are possibly some
what too high from a practical stand
point. On the other hand, it must be
borne in mind that no account is taken
of the value of manure for improving
the mechanical condition and drainage
of soils, a consideration fully as i'm.
portant as the direct fertilizing value
1t is fair to assume that at least
one-third of the value of the manure
is annually lost through careless meth

Record CROWDS
At The Circus

The Barnum & Bailey Greatest
Shon on Earth opened the circus sea-
son for 1915, at Madison Square
Garden last Thursday night, week, be-
fore the largest and most brilliant
crowd that has ever attended a first
night performance in New York City.
AS had been advertised, it was truly
"a Circus of All Nations" and the
4S0 representative artists brought
here from every part of the world,
presented program that has not
been equaled before in the history of
circus business.
The magnificent, new, spectacular
Pageant, "Lalla Rookh" was a most
fitting prelude to the wonderful pro-
gram that followed, and in the great
display, the entire arena was filled
with hundreds of grogeously costumed
characters all of whom celebrated in
magnificent form, the departure of the
from the Royal Gardens of Delhi.
Following Immediately came three
herds Of war elephants presented by
the first and only lady elephant
trainers. Then hundreds of circus
acts, nearly all new to New York,
among which were the Six Riding
Hannafords, Madam Bradua's Angel
horses and dogs, Adgie and her lions,
Pallenberg's wonder bears, Barnum
& Baileys Posing Horses and Living
Statues of Perfect Women.
Ce-Dora in the Golden Globe proved
herself to be the most daring girl in
the world and the ground and air was
continually filled with hundreds of
artists presenting novelty circus per-
formances that went form what has
always been and is to-day" The
Greatest Show on Earth"
Residents of nearby cities must
take advantage of the New York en-
gagement in order to see the circus
this year, as no exhibitions will be
given in Brooklyn, in New Jersey nor
in Connecticut.
