The great amount of butter ~renOvat-
ed annually indicates a need for
marked Improvement in the methods
used in making butter. Last year as
high as 30,0O0,OO0 pounds of washed
or renovated butter was sold in the
United States and much of this butter
was made on farms. The average price
received is low, ranging approximately
from 10 to 25 cents. The whole mat
ter Of the quality Of the completed
product, according to ]. II. McClain,
dairy specialist of the department of
agriculture. is determined by the way
In which the milk and cream used in it's
manufacture r handled, and the
methods employed in performing the
mechanical operations of churning,
working, and packing the butter.
Plan Not Complicated.
The correct way of making butter
is not complicated, it is pointed out.

one-fifth of the ration be oil meal or
cake. Watch the calves and increase
the ration as they take on size and
weight. If they come along all right
during the winter they ought to weigh
around 800 or 900 pounds by spring,
and on good pasture they are soon
ready for the market. 1t is really
better plan, however, to put them on
a fattening ration early in the spring
and finish them on dry feeds.
When they are to be finished on
the pasture it is possible to limit the
grain ration considerably during the

A BORAH SPECIAL

Editor ]. w. Jones of the Rigby
Star has conceived the notion of send
ing a Borah booster train to Chicago
during the Republican national con-
vention, and the proposition will find
hearty response in tho minds of a
good many stalwarts in Idaho. In a
state where there is such marked
opinion in favor of Senator Borah as
there is in his home state it might
prove a comparatively easy matter
to provide special of warm boosters
who would remain on the job from the
start to the finish for Borah for pres
ident. The last issue of the Star con-
tanned the following suggestion:
Now that the Republicans. have
called their national convention, to
meet at Chicago June 7, and inasmuch
as Committeeman Hart has engaged
rooms and headquarters for those who
will attend from Idaho, with the COM
mendable idea in view of aiding in
tno selcCtlOu VI WHlldm II. bOi dh ioi
the presidency. we would suggest that
a train of sleepers for the trip be
chartered for the accommodation of
those desiring to make the trip. This
train should depart from Pocatello.
in order to accommodate the greater
number, which in all WI. probably
amount to $50 to 200 Borah toosters.
Such movement would be a great
aid to our favorite son. and incident
ally would be the means of placing
Idaho on the map for the extent of
several hundred miles,"

PROFIT IN
BABY BEEF
Young Animals Must Have
Proper Feed

Suppose baby beeves' are to be
finished for the market next fall. This
means that they must have a liberal
supply of the right kind of feed all
winter long, feed that will keep them
growing in bone and frame and at
the same time developing in an all
round manner. The grain end of the
ration will need to be increased stead
lily during the winter, writes l.. Hunt
of Kansas in Farm Progress. There
is no better feed than corn for this pur-
pose, and it should be fed literally,
using, say, from one-half to three
quarters corn in the grain ration. Use
bran and oil meal for the remainder.
Where there is plenty of clover
or alfalfa the corn part of the grain
ration may be even larger, as the
hay will take care of the protein part
of the ration. Where you are feed

and alfalfa ten per cent concentrates
in the grain ration will be plenty,
but from Is to 20 per cent is needed
when the calves are on bluegrass or
timothy. The calves ought to be
ready for market by the middle OF
June and weieH around LOO pounds.
Calves to be finished as two-year-
olds should be grown more slowly.
Roughage and little grain will see
them through their first winter, and
they should make their way on the
pasture the next summer. The sec
ond winter they should be fed hay
or silage and some grain. Give them
all the roughage they can eat. Where
there is no legume hay feed them
some oil meal along with the grain.

TEST YOUR
OWN MILK
Best Method to Determine
Which Cows to Keep

The Babcock tester can be used by
a farmer to determine the amount of
butterfat produced by each COW of his
herd. If a record is kept of the
amount of feed given each COW, 1t is
an easy matter to decide which ami
mails are worth keeping.
A COW may give a large flow OF
thin milk for three or four months.
The Richfield recorder. (Richfield, Idaho) 1909-1931, 1916-01-14

For the remainder of her lactation
period she may give only small flow.
Another COW may give a fairly small
amount of rich milk during her en-
tire lactation period. The first COW
will likely be given credit by the
farmer for being very good producer,
when, as a matter of fact, she may
not be nearly as profitable to keep
as the second COW. Three things are
necessary to enable farmer to de-
termine whether or not COW is
profitable. Total pounds Of milk given
in year; the percentage of butter
fat In the milk; and the value of feed
consumed.

GOOD PLAN FOR INBREEDING
Animals Used for Purpose Should Be
as Near Perfect as Is Possible
Watch Hogs Closely.

(By DIR. r. H. WILLIAMS, Animal Hus-
bandman, Arizona Experiment Station)
It makes a difference in inbreeding
whether one Is handling purebred or
grade stock. BY inbreeding we mean
the breeding together Of animals of a
common blood. would advise you to
use animals for inbreeding that are as
nearly perfect as possible. Theoreti-
cally, II you have perfect animals, the
only logical thing to do is to inbreed,
because it is simply impossible to Sc
cure evil results from incest with such
animals.
Perfect animals are a rarity. Ordi-
narily 1t Is wise to inbreed the off,
spring on the sire where the sire is
good registered animal and the dam
an ordinary scrub. Care should be
exercised, however, not to follow this
more than once, as inbreeding is two
edged sword which must be handled
with the greatest care. The sire may
be bred to second generation Of his
get with good results, but this is not
1t would not be as much inbreeding
to use sire on his granddaughter or
brother and sister as to use a sire on
his daughter, but breeders have used
both methods with good and evil re-
suits.
Hogs will stand inbreeding less than
any other kind of farm animal, and on
this account must De watched closely.
