BUY ONLY GOOD cows

The farmers OF South Dakota appre-
ciate good cows. This is indicated by
the price being paid, statistics show
ing that the average value of the dairy
COW in South Dakota is $500, while
the average value Of the dairy COW in
the United States is but $3.50.
When a person goes into the dairy
business faster than he can by raising
his cows, he resorts to buying. Many
times he goes east to select these cows
himself, thinking If he goes to Wiscon-
sin or New York, or into some noted
dairy district, he is sure to get good
dairy cows.
At times a local stock buyer, or a
local Spectator finds that there Is con
siderable sentiment for dairy cattle,
and will go east. He goes from one
small town to another In the eastern
dairy districts. At times he buys fe-
male-culls that have been taken into
the local stock yards. Such animals
can usually be bought cheap.
Again there are some capable dis
interested men, such as the local coun-
ty agents, or some other persons whose
interest Is simply that of improving
the dairy indutry and not that of max
ing money for himself, who assist in
selecting breeding stock. The latter
method is probably the best.
Whatever be the means employed,
many scrub cows have been imported
into South Dakota and EXCHANGED for
good South Dakota dollars. This has
done more harm than good to the dairy
cattle imported into South Dakota.
They were colored like dairy cattle.
but that was all.
AS a rule, 1t Is not a good plan to
buy aged cows. The dairyman in the
east does not sell his cows at a reason
able price If they are profitable. II
sood young cows are purchased, the
buyer should make up his mind that he
needs to pay a good price.
Young, healthy cattle, yearlings or
two-yearolds in calf to a good pure
bred sire usually make good profit. The
buying and importation Of dairy cattle
from the east should be done with
great care, elaboration, and under
standing. AS long as we have the
money, we can always buy.
Invariably, the best. the cheapest,
and the surest way Of getting good
COWS is to raise them. Buy a good
pure-bred dairy bull of whatever breed
is liked, and be sure that this bull
comes from good milk and butterfat
producing ancestors.-Prof. c. Larsen,
s. d. State College.

CAN'T "HOLD A CANDLE"

White Leader:-The business men
OF Brookings certainly have good rea-
sons for discussing or "cussing' the
good roads matter. Some of the roads
leading out of White may not be in
best of shape but we cannot "hold a
candle" with them when it comes to
a comparison with some of the abom-
Unable highways leading out of our
county seat. Take the north road for
instance leading out from the college
grounds, which for a mile or more Is
a disgrace 20 that part of the county.
If the business men would only get
down to brass tacks" and have that
particular stretch Of the highway
graveled at least it would do wonders
in placing it in a passable condition.
The editor in company with some
friends had occasion 10 enter the city
one day last week on this road and the
need of something being done by che
business men of Brookings was i'm.
pressibly borne upon our minds.

MILK AND ICE
BOTH VERY SCARCE

Toledo faces a milk famine. 1t is
caused by the unparalleled July hot
wave. Another week of torrid wealth
er, say dairymen. will mean a serious
shortage in Toledo's supply of milk.
An ice cream famine is coupled with
the milk shortage.
The extreme heat of the last three
three weeks, the unusual number Of
sunshiny days; and the accompanying
drouth have combined to burn up the
uaStlrage and cut down the milk SUI
ply. This condition. along with
simultaneous demand for ice cream
that exceeds all previous records, has
brought the city face to face with a
milk and cream famine. 1t would be
particularly disastrous to the babes
Of the city.
Many Ohio cities are suffering from
n shortage of ice. Other cities have
already met the shortage of ice cream
with raise in the price. Ice cream
in Cincinnati retails at so cents a
quart, while in Toledo the prevailing
price is 80 cents. Detroit has almost
ceased to make it.
