The Milk Sheet.

There Is nothing in a dairy barn Of
more importance than a carefully kept
milk sheet. Without individual rec
ords Of what the different cows are
producing they cannot be fed proper
ly. Some cows are sure to be fe'

it has cost him to produce the cream
will find his profits fast slipping away.
1t is the man who obtains q heavy pro-
duction through those feeds most eco
nomical to use who makes the real
gains.
Another source Of loss often over
looked in the milking operations is the
"boarders" in the herd. These cows
are good eaters. but do not turn their
feed into profit for their owner.
The sure way Of checking on both
these matters is by keeping records.
1t requires certain per cent Of pro-
tein, carbohy drates and fat to produce
a pound Of milk. The richer the milk
the more of each will be required
Different feeds contain these digesti-
BILE nutrients in different quantities,
and the dairyman should determine
which feed supplies them most eco
nomically and in the best form for the
COW to handle.
BY keeping a record Of the feed CIV
en- each cow and the returns made by
her in milk production it will be an
easy matter to pick out those cows
that are "boarders" or that are being
cared for at loss. This will make
possible wedding out" process and
will enable the mixer to build up a
herd of profit making cows only.
These are two important points for
the consideration of those milking
cows as business.

is much reduced as well as the gain
per day per steer. These are the re-
suits secured in recent test at the
Missouri agricultural experiment sta
ton, in which some steers were full
fed, while others received much less
feed, writes P. F. Trowbridge.
The steers which received feed in
sufficient for the greatest growth were
most affected by such ailments as in
digestion and pink eye, and their sick
ness was more likely to result in death.
In fact, among more than a hundred
steers in the experiment all the losses
except one were among the low fed
animals.
Steers fed for long periods, such as
three years and a half, on feed insult
fcient for the greatest growth did not
and to make gains when later put on
full feed. Even a steer whose growth
was greatly retarded for only one year
never equaled in weight steer Of the
same age which had been full fed
from birth. although when put back
on full feed he made very profitable
gains and developed very choice car
cass Of beef. These results do not
disagree with the common observation
that thin steers often make the most
profitable gains. Such feeders have
usually not been starved so long or 50
steadily. They have usually had bulky
feed, which kept up the stomach capac-
ity even though it didn't furnish a
great deal Of nourishment, and were
very likely to have at least occasion
al large quantities Of good, nutritious
feed, while the steers in the test were
kept regularly on small quantities of
food for long periods, so that they
seemed to lose the capacity to eat and
digest as large quantities as they must
handle to make the most profitable
gains.
Thrifty yearlings put on feed that is
not sufficient even to keep up the body
weight they already have continue to
grow in height and framework even
when made to lose half pound day.
Measurements Of the skeleton did not
indicate any decrease in the rate Of
growth for several months. Even when
these animals were using the body fat
to supplement the lack of feed there
was a very noticeable addition of fat
in the skeleton. Only when approx
mately all the fat was taken from the
soft parts did the animals begin to
draw on the fat in the skeleton to
maintain existence.
The most economical choice beef To-
suited from the use Of feeder weigh
ing about $50 pounds so fed as to make
gain Of 500 pounds. Such a steer
will probably not quite top the mar

possible profit to the feeder and fur.

butcher and housewife and meat Of a

The carcasses show that of this 500

When similar steers were fattened un.

carcasses were much overdone. and the

Deeper Wells May Result in
Strikes Yielding Large
Production.

With ma few hours huge bit will
begin to bore down deep into the
bowels of the earthin Harrison coun-
ty possibly to prove what geologists
suspect that the great gas fields of
West Virginia are underlaid with a
gas sand and possibly an oil sand
with pressure and flow greater than
any yet released to supply the indus
tries of that great center of progress
now supplied from this state. This
test will not be altogether a blind
one; well completed not long ago
to a considerable depth on the edge
Of Barbour county gives hope that
with modern equipment natural gas
can be found in lower sand than
any from which the present supply
is obtained.
Pioneers in this present deep drill
ing are the Hope Natural Gas Com
pany, the big subsidiary Of the Stand
ard Oil Company, operating in this
state, and the Gasselli Chemical
Company, whose big plants are locat-
ed at GrassellI and Ziesing.
The Grasselli company has now the
derrick completed and is rigging
up" to begin drilling on the Isaac
Maxwell farm in this county. S. w.
Bowman and Son Of Clarksburg have
the contract, While the plans have
been kept secret, itis understood that
the drilling company is beginning op-
erations with the intent Of drilling
down to a depth 100000 feet. The
location Of the well is in proved nat
ural gas territory. Complete records
Of this we'll will no doubt be taken
and kept from the Top OF the soil till
the object sought for is found or op-
erations are halted or ended by the
difficulties Of deep drilling.
Second Deep Test.
Another deep well will be drilled,
this one by the Hope Natural Gas
Company, on the Mary Go1 farm at
Bridgeport, this county, and east OF
this city short distance. The der
rick is up for this test, and the same
company, 1t is understood. has made
one or two other locations for deep
tests.
If these test wells discover in low
er strata another gas sand, the life
of natural gas production in West
Virginia will be much prolonged, as
1t is confidently expected that II gas
is discovered the rock pressure will
be higher than in the upper sands,
and probably the flow more constant.
Clarksburg will see the new boom OF
gigantic proportions, industries
which have located here will be as
sured of natural gas for many years
to come, and leases which are now
producing revenue to land owners
and others because the pressure in
