DAIRY
COST OF KEEPING A HEIFER
About the surest Way to Avoid Any
Possible Error 10 to Keep Com
pIete Set Of Accounts.

We sometimes get the impression
that the cost OF keeping a horse or a
cow is determined by the amount Of
feed consumed, plus the amount of
labor expended, and possibly an in
terest charge. The government has
published figures on the cost of rails
ing, from birth, two-year-old heifer
which show that 65.6 per cent of the
total cost was expended for feed, 1873
per cent for labor. SO per cent for
interest, and 1876 per cent for other
charges, such as buildings, equipment,
bedding, etc, or with total expense
of $62.06. These items which might
be called other charges amounted
to $9.72.
This emphasizes the need of caution
in determining the cost of any single
enterprise of the farm. Too frequent
ly these "other charges" are omitted
in reporting profits. About the surest
way to avoid the possible error is to
keep a complete set of accounts. OF
course. there is some work attached
to it but by adopting a simple direct
entry method of bookkeeping it isn't
such bad job.

IMPORTANCE OF PURE WATER
Essential That Supply for Cows Be OF
Mild Temperature. Especially in
Cold Weather.

large amount of water is needed
by the average dairy COW for the up
keep of bodily functions. In addition
to this, much more is needed in the
production of milk as the latter con
tains 81 per cent of water Practical
dairymen have found that it is a good
policy to provide the COW with plenty
of good, clean water. That flowing
through a muddy ditch is not suited
for dairy COW
1t is also important that the water
be of mild temperature, especially in
cold weather. Ice water taken into
the stomach of the COW causes shock
to the system that is not conducive to
high milk production. The tempering
of this cold water in the COW uses
some of the energy that might be ap-
piled to other purposes. In the win
ter, freshly pumped water is much bet
ter than the cold water in the tank.
Tank heaters aid In overcoming this
trouble. A COW will drink a much
larger quantity of warm water in the
wintertime than Of ice water.

The Sugar Duties.

Democrats and Republicans alike
are playing with twoedged tools
when they reproach each other with
inconsistency on the free-sugar ques
ton. Both have put it into their
platforms before election and have
failed to stand by it after election
But the Democrats now have a better
excuse than the Republicans had for
replacing the duty upon sugar. They
not only promised to remove it, but
actually did remove it-almost. No
DOUBT there is need of more revenue
and the restoration of the sugar
customs is the easiest resource of the
treasury.
The increase of trade activity has
been SO great that the treasury now
has hopes that the internal revenue
receipts will make good the loss OF
customs. Internal revenue receipts
thus far in the fiscal year are $685..
100000. against s2s,O0o. 900 last year,
and the treasury looks for $3.50. .000,,
900. against 100000 for the full
year. Customs receipts are only some
$5.000,OO0 behind last year. and there
is good reason to look for a surplus

SECURE YELlOW-Y0LKED EGG
Poultry Department Of Iowa State Gel.
leoe Tells Secret-Feed Corn
With Clipped Alfalfa.

Eggs with a richly colored golden
yolk. from a market standpoint. are
more desirable than the pale-yolked
variety. Due to lack of green range
feed in the winter. such eggs are not
normally laid during cold weather. To
produce them, though. is quite a sim
pie matter II you know how. The
poultry department of the Iowa State
college tells the secret
Yellow corn with clipped alfalfa or
sprouted oats are winter feeds that
put the color In the yolk. Stemmy al
falfa will not do, as it is too coarse
and contains too much fiber. The al
falfa must be leafy. Alfalfa or clover
sweepings from the hay NOW make an
excellent winter poultry feed. To keep
the hens from scratching it about
rack or box may be provided, covered
with coarse mesh poultry wire through
which the birds may pick the leaves.
The fact that green feeds produce
the desirable yellow-yolked eggs Is
an advantage of only secondary i'm
portance. The fact that they furnish
food elements not to be had otherwise.
and that are very much needed at this
season of the year. is Of far greater
importance. The green feed is a nec-
essary item to stimulate the general
health Of the fowls, as well as their
laying ability, during the winter.

Bonds Inevitable.

Congress has already passed one bill
for an increase of 10000 men to the
regular forces of the army and is like
ly to pass other defense bills in the
near future. So far. however with
the single exception of the repeal OF
the free sugar clause Of the tariff bill,
which will not aid, but merely prevent
further loss to the treasury. there
has not been a single revenue meas
ure presented.
There Is talk OF repeating the So
called war" and stamp taxes, and all
this means that a heavier burden is to
be placed upon those who are now
paying the income tax. Even the
doubling OF this tax. however, will not
meet the deficit in the treasury and
still take care of the national defense
program. Sooner or later the govern
ment will be compelled to meet the
issue squarely and arrange for bond
issue.

: "Price?" said Tenney, refectively.
"Do I know him? Wasn't he sport

with the Giants?" YES" came the
answer, he was" Show him to me"
said Tenney I'D like to see him."
Jim Price was sitting down at one
end of Peacock Alley and Fred went
down to talk to him. A day later came
the announcement that the two had
joined forces and bought the Newark

the fact that they provide the cheap

the family.
Their value is hard to estimate

RIGHT PASTURE FOR CALVES
Most Young Animals Better of in the
Barn Than Fighting Flies in
the Hot Fields.
CBY z. NJ. WASUBURNl

While 1t is very important that heif-
ers should have free access to pasture
during the second summer, to develop
strong bodies, the calf need not have
pasture the first summer. In fact, for
calves born after the first of the year,
pasturing may be disadvantage.
Most young calves in this country are
better off chewing tender hay in the
quiet and half-dark stable than fight
ing flies, painting from the heat, and
cropping tough grass in the pasture.
