out, and they are not expected to come

negotiations with Germany are in

Feeding Sheep on Wasted Fodder

III would be greatly interesting to
= know, could 1t be known, how
much mutton could be produced from
iodders that now are wasted because
tney are not utilized. In this dis
cussion those folders only will be
considered that grow up in the un-
tenced fields of the Northwestern
states.
Two obstacles are in the way. One
is that the lands as a rule are not
fenced, and the other is that the
grain shocks are oftentimes left in
the fields for weeks after the grain
is cut, and because of the presence
OF the shocks, sheep cannot have ac-
cess to the field.
This means that the weeds and
other vegetation along with the num-
erous grain heads lost in harvesting
are not utilized. In other words.
the food that would maintain not
1eWer than say, 100000 for two
months in that state is virtually lost.
In South Dakota the same would be
at least measurably true. In Mon
tana the loss would not be so much,
for the reason that the area devoted
to the growing of grain is much less,
but the loss in Montana is material.
Loss in Washington.
But in no place is this loss greater
relatively than in the Big Bend coun-
try In Washington There the Rus
sian thistles grow to perfection.
There 1t is that they take complete
possession of the land where they
are not combated, to the virtual ex-
clusion Of all kinds Of crops. OF
course, sheep in common with other
kinds Of stock, will not touch Rus
sian thistles after the prickles have
been really formed on the plants, but
at an earlier period sheep will feed
upon them and to the extent of
keeping them in check, so that their
presence will do but little harm.
Summer Forage.
This means that the tumbling
mustard, Russian thistles and Win
ter rye and Winter wheat pastures
would carry sheep through the sea-
son from March 1st to the early
Autumn months.
Now II Winter rye were sown say,
in May, and If Squaw corn were
grown, would not these two carry
the sheep through the Autumn
months and prepare those for the
market that were to be sold? There

Learning Dairying From Holland

wv can learn much from the dairy
w methods used in Holland. That
" little country is often called
the cows paradise and it deserves the
name. There is little grain farming
or mixed husbandry there and al
most no stock except dairy cattle.
Dairying Is the principal occupation.
The land is worth from $500 to
$1,000 an acre, yet the Hollanders
pay rents and interest on the invest
ment by producing butter and
cheese, which they place in the
European markets in successful
competition with that produced in
America on land of scarcely compar-
able value.
The secret is. Efficient COWS, ex-
cellent care, cooperation and super
ior quality of butter and cheese.
On 60-acre farm in Holland the
livestock usually consists of about
% cows, heifers, 40 sheep, Is pigs
and one or two horses. About "a
acres is meadow and the rest pasture,
as dairying is on a strictly grass
basis. Few fields are larger than
five acres, and the cows are fire.
quently changed from one pasture to
another, so the grass may be re-
newed
Cow Selection.
Only a few choice bulls are kept
for sires and the greatest care Is ex-
ercised in selecting females. The
cows are selected by a three-fold
method. First, in the sire; second, in
the young calf, judged largely by the
milking qualities of the mother; and,
lastly, the greatest of all tests is ap-
piled, performance at pail Not till
the COW answers this satisfactorily
Is she accorded permanent place in
the dairy.
Mr.. Kuperas, leading Friesland
dairyman, has All exceptionally fine
herd Of red and white Holstein-Frie-
SLAMS and keeps careful record of
each cow by testing the milk every
two weeks. The average yield Of 80
of his best cows for one year was
11,275 pounds of milk and 394
pounds of butter fat The average
lactation period was 906 days and
no COW was milked more than one
year. In Friesland there are 1900
cow testing associations of IL mem-.
bers each.
The Winter grain ration consists
almost entirely Of oil cake, fed only

would still be one problem to solve.
How would the breeding flocks be
maintained during the two or three
months of Winter when snow is on
the ground? VIII not the growth
of wheat hay answer this question
at the present time? In the near
future it will probably be answered
by the growth of sweet clover or
alfalfa hay.
In Big Bend.
These references bring up the
question, will it pay to grow sheep
on those lines in the Big Bend coun-
try? That can only be worked out
by actual test Suppose a section
of land were enclosed with fence.
Suppose 1t was stocked with sheep,
suppose it was divided in say, three
parts, One part would provide
Spring and early Summer pasture,
a second part would provide finish
ing pasture, and a third part Win
ter food.
Would such an arrangement pay?
1t should pay. Each acre of such
land should support at least an eve
and her lamb for year. This would
mean that GAO acres would maintain
GAO ewes and GAO lambs. The wool
from the ewes should pay the wage
bill.
Profit Estimates.
This would leave the lambs for
profit. Six hundred and forty lambs
would mean at $3.50 each a return
OF $3.50, or rental of $3.50 per
acre. Suppose this were cut in two,
1t would represent a rental of $3.50
per acre which would be per cent
on land valued at little more than
$40 per acre. From these returns,
however, there would have to be de-
Quoted the cost of fencing the land.
But not more than one-tenth of the
cost should be charged against each
years expenditure, as fence will
built in such an area should last for
not less than 10 years.
If these estimates are correct, why
would it not be a wise thing in the
Big Bend country to grow sheep?
Can wheat be made to pay better?
The sheep would call for less labor.
They would enrich the land, and they
would prevent the abominable weeds
from going to seed. They would
also stop soil drifting. Why would
not such a system of farming be bet
ter than the growing of wheat?

to the heavy mixers in quantities of
from two to four pounds a day. The
principal feed, however, is hay, each
COW receiving 80 pounds daily. 1t
takes the great capacity of these
cows to handle such a large guam
tity of roughage.
Clean Stables.
A cow stable in America is usu-
ally an untidy, uninviting and in
many cases absolutely filthy place
where, to the disgrace of civilization,
human food is produced. In Hol-
land COW stable is as clean and
carefully cared for as any room in
the house.
In the Province of Friesland most
of the butter and cheese is made in
factories, practically all of which are
cooperative. When the commercial
starter is used in ripening the cream,
immense numbers of bacteria, capable
of producing an agreeable flavor
are introduced; the growth of the
undesirable is checked and many of
the unpleasant flavors already pro-
duced are covered up, so to speak,
either wholly or in part.
The. cost of these commercial pro
ducts is so small, and the method of
using them Is so simple in comparison
with the benefits to be derived, that
their more general use is to be recon-
mended. The initial cost of a starter
is about SO cents, and by careful
handling, 1t can be propagated for
an indefinite period
Pure culture starters are put up by
the manufacturers in two forms;
powder and liquid. They can be
procured through any drug store or
creamery supply house.
