HOW TO MAKE
DAIR YINC PAY
A Study of Conditions in Dairying
May Assist in Making the
Business Profitable
(By Joseph Wilson)

E
The tide ebbs and flows in the
dairy industry but during the last
year all of the ebbs have been in
the wrong direction. The price
OF cream has averaged little bet
ter than 25 cents per pound, and
beef. a by-product Of the Mason
Valley dairymen, has not created
any excitement. Obviously, when
the price of cream is low ths
greater is the necessity of reduc
ing expenses. The only logical
method OF retrenchment is to cu1
all cows that do not pay profit
over labor and feed bill.
That the only sure way to cu'l
the poor ones is by weighing and
testing, may be best shown by the
records of my herd, kept during
1914 and 1915. Because OF nc
systematic method OF recording
data | only tested about three
months during 1914; but during
that time | found that at least
three COWS out of fifteen couldn !.
make good.
During the year 1915 an accur
ate record was kept The mfik
was tested once month and was
weighed every day in the spring
during the heavy flow if mix IN
the fall the milk was only weighed
when tested. Two more COWS
were added to the herd this yea,
and the average butter fat record
of the herd OF fourteen COWS was
220pounds each. OF the cows
that were bought at so each, the
second choice COW proved to be
the highest producer in the herd
with a butter fat record of 552
pounds, The COW that was first
choice proved to be the lowest
producer in the herd with a record
of l59 pounds Of butter fat.
Figuring butter fat at 25 cents
pound and skim milk at thrc,
cents per hundred; the hest COW
produced SS3 worth of butter far
and S24 worth of skim milk from
$500 pounds of milk, leaving q
net profit OF $57 for the high yield
ing cow. The poorest COW pro
duced S5o.75 worth of hutter fat
and produced skim milk valued al
$3.50, leaving a scant profit OF
S5.05. Another COW, the third
highest, was purchased from the
butcher who was driving her &c
the slaughter pen. This COW pro
duced 245 pounds of butter fat.
The value OF the calf and the
cost of equipment has nor beer
figured, as the purpose OF this ar
ticle is to show the differeRce ir
cows, and that the only correct
way to judge their dairy value i
with the scales and the Babcoch
test.
These cows are grade Short
horns and the high cows in every
case freshened in the fall and
winter. The records are giver
With the idea that they might be
OF some small value to others who
are dairying and with the hope
that they might hasten the forma-
ton OF a dairy testing association

ROCHESTER Mine
IS AGAIN ACTIVE
A Vein Of High Grade Ore is in
Evidence on the Ferry and
Sampson Property

Mining operations in the Roch-
ester district are still struggling
against unusually severe storm
conditions, but are at the same
time making considerable progress
in underground development.
The only means OF transportation
into the district is by sled from
Oreana, but teams are unable to
get to the mines, being compelled
to halt before reaching the upper
limits OF the town of Upper Roch-
ester. Stores deliver goods
around town by pack animals, and
miners at some of the workings
carry boxes of powder and other
mining supplies up the hill on
their backs.
In some instances where tim
bers are needed, men snake them
through the snow at the end OF a
rope. wallowing in snow up to
their waists to accomplish this
task. At some OF the tunnels il
is almost impossible to keep the
tracks clear for tramming rock
and ore, and milling operations
are greatly hampered by interfer
ence with ore transportation.
The Rochester Merger Mines
Company is at present doing more
development than any other prop
erty in the district. In the Pitt
tunnel, drifts are being driven
north and south on the Rochester
No. 4 vein, with machine drills.
the north drift advancing toward
the rich "Boughton" ore shoot
that has been quite extensively
developed in the upper workings.
from which large shipments were
made, and the south drift going
toward the downward projection
of the high grade ore recently
opened in the old Ferry and
Sampson lease workings. These
drifts are showing low grade but
encouraging values, and are ex-
pected in the due course of time
to encounter the rich ore shoots
for which they are being extend
ed.
Drifting and raising are in
progress in the Ferry and Samp-
son workings, on a large vein OF
high grade ore that samples from
500 to Sl24 ton, The hanging
wall streak, which shows the best
returns. carries its principal val
ues in gold, while underlying this
is a strong body of ore running
$50 to 500 ton, silver predomi
mating. The raise, which is about
Is feet along the vein, is now up
about 80 feet, carrying six feet OF
ore, with no fotwall in sight. On
the footwall side portion OF the
ore grades down to about SIS
ton.
During the last few days this
ore has been opened at another
point further south in the Ferry
and Sampson workings by cross
cutting only eight feet from a YER
tical raise put up by Ferry and
Sampson from drift they had
driven south from their tunnel, on
the streak on which they did most
of their development while leas-
ing. This ore is as high grade at
any other point where it has been
exposed, and is estimated to run
about SIPS a ton, judging from
the paintings.

Seventeen hundred pounds Of
Amalgum precipitate from the
Aurora Consolidated mine came
into Hawthorne Saturday on its
way to Goldfeh where it was be-
ing sent for fui ther reduction.

ct its tur;her safe conduct. ir
line with the present administfa
tons policy OF preparedness the
Hawthorne office secured a3.icd
guards for the shipment Will. in

Commissioner Frank r. Red OF
Rawhide was in Hawthorne Sat
urday to attend the regular
monthly meeting of the Board
He reported that snow in his Sec
ton OF the country had been more
than three feet deep before it
drifted and that mail and stage
services had been greatly delayed
on occasions. There is at present
a scarcity of fuel at Rawhide
which threatens 20 suspend opera
tions. 1t is impossible TO obtain
wood and unless the condition OF
the roads improve soon there will
be famine in coal. The outlook
in other respects is very encour-
aging and points TO busy season
for 1910.
From a comp;lati5n OF data re-
Gently made for the County
Board it is found that the total
length of highway in Mineral
County is 1910 miles. No compu-
tations have as yet been made but
it is believed that when the nature
of the country. the funds available
for the maintenance and construc-
ton of roads. and the amount OF
traffic are taken into consideration
our roads will compare favorably
both in extent and quality with
those of other pa,'-s of the State.
There has been no interruption
in the work at Sodaville and vi
cinity, although it was deemed
best to postpone further develop
ment of some lead properties

Where Are My Children? at the Davis
 Theatre Today and Tomorrow.

Where Are My Children, that daring photoplay which has been crowding the Majestic theatre. Boston. all sum mer. four times daily. opened at the Davis theatre yesterday and every seat for each performance was sold. Standing room only was in order.
 The play made a great impression on all who saw it, and educators, min- isters. physicians and others are loud in their praises of the film which teaches such a wholesome lesson in such an interesting manner. Although the topic illustrated is generally con sidered fit for discussion in private, there can be no objection to the way that the truths of Where Are My Children? were placed before the au- dience. And these truths are espec- ially interesting at this time when the newspapers and the courts are dealing with cases in real life such as were shown on the screen.
 The acting in Where Are My Chil- dren? Is far better than in the ma Jority of screen plays. With such a sterling actor as Tyrone Power in the role of the district attorney, and ably supported, dramatic treat was presented.
 That the audience was made up so largely of members of the gentler sex is not surprising as Where Are My Children? deals with two problems of vital interest to women-women of every walk in life.
 The main theme of the play is the premeditated destruction of the un- born by malpractice, and shows how fashionable women avoid the cares of maternity in order not to be deprived of the pleasures of their particular so- cial world. The theme is admittedly a delicate one but 1t is handled with delicacy that does not cause offence; and the lesson taught is strictly moral, and judging from certain items in the news of the day. one that is strongly needed.
 The fact that there ar~ four per- formances a day will be much appre- ciated as people intending to attend the second performance of the after noon or evening may come in time for that performance and thus avoid waiting in the lobby or on the side walk. This picture will be shown to- day and tomorrow at 2. 3.30 and S.30, four cOmDleta shows.
