KEEP COWS THAT MAKE MONEY
III NAY BE That You Can Take the
Cows You Have and BY Using q
4 Pure-bred Beef Bull Greatly Increase
Your Income--Thlnk Il Over.
(By r. M. Murphy. Division Of Exten
tion, University OF Tennessee,
KnOxville.)

What are you keeping cows f0ri
The dairyman keeps cows to eat uT
the rough feeds Ioe his farm, to make
manure to builoiup the fertility of his
land, to produce milk and butter tc
SCH. The beef man keeps COWS to cal
up the rough feeds Of his farm, to
make manure to build up the fertility
Of his land and to produce calves t.
sell.
The important difference between
the dairyman and the beef man is In
the fact that the dairyman's farm is
SO situated that he has market fol
dairy products, the beef man does not
have this market SO must be content
to sell less perishable product
calves. Both OF them are In good
business because they are looking out
for the fertility of their farms first
Of course, incidentally each Of these
men has supply Of milk and butter
for his family. This is aside from the
main purpose Of keeping cows, how
ever.
There are thousands of farmers in
Tennessee who do not keep COWS to
eat up the rough feeds on their farms,
who pay no attention to the produc-
tion and value Of mapure. who do not
sell milk and butter, but keep COWS
Tor the sole purpose Of having a sup
ply OF milk and butter for their fami-
lies. In the fall they sell bunch of
Bcrawny calves that are a disgrace to
the community.
They miss the three main purposes
Of keeping COWS and feel content II
the old COW gives gallon Of milk for
nix months and l0afs for the other six.
They should keep cows enough to
consume all the rough feeds they can
produce.
They should make every bit OF
manure they can.
They probably should not try to sell
milk and butter for they have no mar
ket, but they should sell good calf
stor every COW every year. The only
way to do this is to keep COWS that
will raise good calves when bred to
pure-bred bulls OF one Of the beef
breeds. Take the COW that you have,
no matter what kind, and breed her
10 q pure-bred Angus, Hereford, Short
horn or Red Polled bull. Keep her
heifer ccclves and In q short time YOU
will have q type Of COW suited to the
business you are In, the business Of
consuming the corn stover, straw. crab
grass hay. etc, on the farm, the bust
ness sof making all the manure posi-
bic and the business Of selling good
calves.

When the farmer raises fowl and
places it on the market without fat
tening it he loses an opportunity to
market much grain and waste milk at
two or three times the market value.
In order to feed hens properly the
farmer should make a feeding crate,
the compartments of which should be
is inches high and 20 inches square.
The bottom should be made Of lathes
set on edge to allow the droppfngs to
fall through and to keep the coop
clean. The coop should be enclosed
with lathes running from bottom to
top. The laths should be placed apart
sufficiently to allow the fowls to reach
