by Roycroft Farm for six years and
some Of the results which have been
obtained are herewith presented
The total number OF Jerseys in the
United States OF all ages. entered in
the Register of Merit up to January /,
1916, was 1922 and their average pro-
duction for one year was 1856 lbs.
milk testing 5.33 per cent fat equal to
4S9 fbs. of So per cent butter. The
total number of Jerseys entered in the
Register of Merit by Roycroft Farm
up TO January 1, 1916 was 81 and their
average production for one year is
1891 lbs. milk testing STA per cent OF
fat equal to 5S7 lbs. OF So per cent
butter-about IL per cent more milk
and 20 per cent more butter per COW
for the Houghton county cow than the
average OF the United States.
The total number OF Jerseys in the
United States five years old and over
entered in the Register of Merit up TO
January /. 1916, was 1858. Their
average production for one year was
907l milk. testing SIS per cent OF fat
equal TO sos ios. butter Ten Roy
croft Farm Jerseys, the average age
OF which is years and months are
entered in the Register OF Merit with
an average production for one year OF
1882 fbs. OF milk testing 5.29 per cent
fat equal to $40 lbs. IS per cent but
ter about 40 per cent more milk and
- per cent more butter for the Hough-
ton county COW than the average for
the United States.
In Analysing the average production
figures for the entire United States. IL
must be borne in mind that there are
many wealthy Jersey breeders in the
Eastern. Middle West and Southern
States who have paid big prices for
animals and who spare no |
expense in their development. You
ask why Cloverland cows do so much !
better than the average OF the United
States and my answer is that they are
born and developed under the condi-
tons of Climatic Engergy that pre-
vail in the Upper Peninsula The home
grown feeds Climatic Energy feeds |
Il you please are no small factors in
lie development OF the world superior
Cows. believe that
pound for pound the Menominee
River Sugar Company beet pulp has
higher feeding value than beet pulp
rom southern localities and believe
he same thing obtains in regard TO
grains, alfalfa and hay of
m kinds.
You ask. What is Climatic Energy"
'rof Huntington OF Yale who has
made an exhaustive study of its bene-
cial effects on human life says:
Climatic Energy is not so much
natter OF temperature, high or low,
s il is OF variety" We all know that
ear i'm and year out the variety OF
PIPER Peninsula temperature is most
omplete probably no wider range or
lrger assortment of temperatures for
given 365 days can be found in any
Lher equal area of the United States
~ understanding of Climatic Energy
i it effects dairy animals, is that II
cans early maturity, increased
gor and vitality and an endowment
longevity that does not obtain in
iimals grown in more southern local {
les, and, | believe that dairy animals Q
own under our Climatic Energy /
,nditions will do the business farm \
g and breeders Of more southern u
umdes much good =

AS TO the demand for high produc-

seems 10 me IL is unllmited-it seems
10 me the world Is knocking at our
door particularly that part OF the
world not affected by war conditions
from Argentina, South America, north.
There was recently published In one
of the Upper Peninsula papers a pho
toSraph OF 30 envelopes from across

orders from as many different forcien

countries. Since January i, Roycrou
Farm has received inquiries for Jer-
seys from 20 different states Of the
Union and one foreign country, Uru-
quay Today there is a gentleman az
Sidnaw from California who purchased
six head OF Jerseys from Roycroft
Farm came here TO accompany
the shipment 10 destination and liked
what he saw so well that he sent de-
tailed description to his local Cream
cry Company and the president wires
asking IL we can spare carload. We
cannot. He could buy four or five car
loads of grade cows in this vicinity at
from $40 to 500 per head but he
doesn't want them-he wants some
thing four or FIVE time as efficient.
My good neighbors lose this oppor-
tunity because we don't do community
breeding.
Other EmOluments.
While there Is no other business in
all Cloyer-Land that will give surer
and longer health and money returns
for intelligent effort properly directed,
than that OF dairy-farming. there is
also an honor-an eventful day-that
can come once in life time to the
breeder OF high-class dairy stock and
which is best described as:
THAT PROUD DAY
He knew that the eyes OF all were
upon him as he led her down the
broad, flower bestrewn aisle lined with
fashionably clothed humanity throng
ed hither by invitation and curiosity.
The strains of distant orchestra fell
family upon his ears, and great Joy
surged through him as he approached
the raised platform. II was the mo-
ment that he had dreamed of for years,
and as the day approached his fear OF
losing had ever grown stronger, but |
now, as he came proudly down the
aisle he knew that his Jersey calf had
won the prize at the Cattle Show.

Poultry

II may be OF interest and not out Of
place to say that the results that were
obtained from yearly tests Of the
Jerseys, IN the way of eliminating the
improbable individuals and securing
and developing efficiency breeding
stock led up TO applying similar meth
DDS to the poultry on Roycroft Farm,
and trap nesting was begun IN 1914
after world wide search for cockerels
from hens with authenticated records
Of from $50 70 300 eggs In one year
with which 20 head our breeding pens.
For the five years proceeding 1915, the
average egg production was 9S.S eggs
per hen per year. For the year ending
December 81, 1915 our records show
flock average Of 1887 eggs per hen for
the year and with a number OF indi-
vldual records Of over $50 eggs. run
ming up as high as 2S2 eggs. This in
crease OF over 40 per cent in egg pro-
duction during the past year was Sc
cured az practically the same yearly
feed cost as prevailed previous 70
1915. The flock has averaged 1000 lay
ing hens for the past years and the
increased number OF eggs for 1915 was
$4,000, or $3.50 dozen. In
dollars and cents II meant an added
income OF over siiOO for the year
figuring the value OF the eggs at SOc
a dozen. our January 1916 records In
iicate we will get a flock average OF
over l75 eggs per hen this year
