cow is GREATEST PRODUCER

1t is truly said that the COW is mans
greatest benefactor. Hail, wind,
drOughts and floods may come, destroy
our crops and Danish our hopes, but,
from what is left, the COW manufac-
lures the most nourishing and life-sus-
tanning foods.
For 1000 years she has shown her
allegiance to man, sharing alike in his
prosperity and adversely, responding
10 all that was done for her, until
Through her development she has be-
come indispensable as an economic fac
tor in our national progress.
Dairy communities are rich COM
munities. The COW produces the most
and best food at the least cost; she
brings in a steady income; she con-
werts cheap roughage into profit :;
makes the farm worth more; builds
Dig red barns and good homes-means
diving on the farm.
Cow Makes Farm Worth More.
There is always an air of perma-
hence and prosperity about well-man-
aged dairy farm.
A man feels independent when he
Knows his income is steady. The dairy
business is cash business. It calls
for intellectual activity. The success
of the man engaged in it depends upon
his using his head, developing his judg-
enent.
Dairying builds up the farm. 1t re-
quires fewer acres to produce a good
living, and consequently leads to closer
neighbors and more thickly-settled
communities.

nation of the composition of the car

Princess Carlotta produced proteins
sufficient for more than three steers;
nearly fat enough for two; ash enough
to build the skeletons for three, and
in addition, 920 pounds of milk sugar
worth as much per pound for food as
ordinary sugar.
1t is because of this economical use
Of food that the dairy COW and not the
steer is kept on high-priced land. When
land is cheap and feed abundant the
meat-producing animals predominant,
but when the land becomes high in
value and feed expensive the farmer
turns to the dairy COW.
Duchess Skylark Ormsby Is the
worlds champion butter producer. The
results of her 365-consecutive-d
test, conducted by the Minnesota Agri-
cultural college, shows that she pro-
duced 27,761 pounds of milk, nearly IA
tons, or over % times her own weight.
The butterfat contained in this years
milk yield weighed 1905 pounds.
At So cents a pound, she produced
about $500 worth of commercial butter
in one year. To her credit of $500
worth of butter must be added over
10000 pounds of skim milk and butter
milk, about ID tons Of manure, and a
calf, which pay for her feed and care,
making the $500 a net profit to the
owner.
Dairy Products Second in Value to the
Corn Crop.

price, the COW will more and more dis
place the strictly meat-produclng farm
animals. She produces human food
with greater economy than does the
steer, sheep or pig. The United States
census for 1910 shows an increase OF
about 20 per cent in dairy stock while
the total number Of all cattle has de-
creased.
1T is Interesting to learn that Lady
Oak, Holstein COW, now owned by
the Minnesota experiment station, in
one day produced in her milk an
amount of human food equal to a calf
weighing 115 pounds. In O years rec
ord this COW produced 993 pounds of
fat 631 pounds of protein and 1852
pounds of carbohydrates. This product
was equal to 2G6 calves weighing 125
pounds each, or 142 calves weighing
200 pounds each, % yearlings weighing
900 pounds each, or steers weighing
LOO pounds each. These figures indi-
cate the wonderful efficiency of the
dairy animal as an economical pro-
.ducer of human food"
Princess Carlotta, a COW owned by
the dairy department Of the University
of Missouri, In one year produced more
human food in her milk than is con-
tained in the complete carcasses of
four steers weighing 1850 pounds each.
This statement, impossible as 1t seems,
Us not only true, but does not even do
full justice to the COW. The solids In
che milk, which are completely digesti-
Oie, are counted against the entire car
cass of the steer, only part Of which is
edible.
The total amount Of dry matter in
the milk was 2,218 pounds, all of which
Is edible and dgestibie.
The steer, with live weight of ,250
pounds, contained sc per cent Of water
In the carcass, leaving a total of 54s
pounds of dry matter. In this dry mat
ter of the steer Is included hair and
hide, bones and tendons, organs of di-
gestion and respiration, in fact, the en-
tire animal, considerable portion OF
which is not edible. The analysis of
the steers carcass was made from
samples taken after grinding up ID

The air is eXhilarating as cham
payne; though the heat in summer
time is very great during the nO0ntide
hours, at shutdown a refreshingly cool
breeze invariably springs up and
heavy dew begins to fall. 1t is most
delightful experience to roam then
through the beautiful forest, listen
ing to the tinkle of the bells as the
herds Of sheep, cattle, pigs, buffaloes
wander down the magnificent aisles,
to the flute Of the shepherd and the
horn of the guardian of the swine.
Equally pleasing it is, during the heat
of the day, to spend long hours of
dolce far niente on a Springy bed Of
wild thyme by the side of a braWling
streamlet-I may add that for the in
veterate angler it is an even more en-
jOyable experience to extract from its
dark pools and alluring stickles many
lusty trout. For almost all of these
forest "burnS" abound In fish-nOt
very large, it is true, but vigorous
fighters, giving excellent sport.
Dig LANDOWNERS the F1ules
There are very few tenant farmers
in the country; immensely big land
owners are the rule, and these, with
the aid of a host of bailiffs, manage
their own estates. They devote each
farm to some special object; one, for
instance, is the OK farm, another the
! sheep farm, a third is set aside for
horses, a fourth for donkeys, another
for poultry, another for pigs, and yet
another is the dairy farm.
1t is, by the way, rather curious
fact that cows milk is despised by all,
rich man and peasant alike. It is
looked upon as only fit for pigs and
calves, or to be mixed with other milk
in the making of cheese. Only buffalo
milk is considered fit for human con-
sumption; this is, however, to an Eng
fish palate, far too rich, both in quail
ity and flavor.
Outside almost every village in
Pennsylvania is the gypsy quarter.
Outside it, not in it, for the despised
Tzigany is never allowed to dwell
among the villagers or to mix with
them on equal terms. He is the basket
maker, occasionally the brickmaker,
of the neighbOrhOOd-bu always and
everywhere he is the muSiC-maker. The
gypsies are the orchestra of every
town and village, at every fiesta they
play untiringly, hour after hour, while
the peasants dance. Men and women
alike are lowered with the gift of mu'
sic, and the wild Czardas crashed out
by q Tzigany band makes even the
cool blood of NOrtherner Jingle in his
veins.
But fiddling is not the gypsy's only
accomplishment; he is also most eX
pert thief. In fact, a legend of the
country says that when a Tzigany
baby makes it's entrance into this vale
Of tears it is laid on its back upon the
ground, while a purse is placed on fts
right side and q fiddle on its left. AC
