One experiment carried on some time
ago with three lots of fourteen calves
each, running 203 days from Nov 10
to June 10, produced gains as low as

the 203 days and cost $6.46 a hundred.
The third lot without silage and with

Waterloo. May 5.-The man credited
with making two blades of grass grow
where but one grew before" has rival
in the dairy world in the person OF
Peder Petersen leader in COW testing
association work around Cedar Falls.
He has made each OF the dairy cows
in his herd do the work Of three.
MIR, Petersen credits his success
mainly to testing, which is doing
good deal to take the guess out o.

four years he has been testing he has

in his herd from $685. pounds of milk
annually to l0,lS4 pounds, and his
profit htrd COW from s:2I2 annually
to SASS. In other words, he Row gets
that same profit from the care and
management of one cow that he used
to get from three.
MIR. Petersen has been a pioneer in
the business OF keeping books on the

that the farmer, and especially the

I
ford Not to Grow II" Basis.
1t Is no longer question of whether
it pays to grow alfalfa The question
for the Iowa farmer is whether ne can
afford not to grow it. say the farm
crops men at Iowa State College There
is still time to start a trial patch of a
few acres this spring. The following
reasons should convince any farmer
that alfalfa should be- his crop as well
as his neighbours.
Alfalfa car De sown il the spring
with nurse crop, with land properly
prepared. SO 1t is not necessary TO lose
seasons crop in getting it started.
Alfalfa makes a surer catch in this
way than red clover and is less likely
to be heat killed when the nurse crop
is removed, than red clover
Alfalfa produces about twice AZ
much hay per acre a season as red
clover.
Alfalfa produces luxuriant pasture
during hottest mid summer when other
crops make no growth. This prevents
shortage of milk fiow in dairy cows
and retarding of growth OF young ami
mails
Alfalfa makes the most nutritious
and palatable hay known.
Alfalfa needs to be seeded but once
|, in five or six years
Alfalfa adds nitrogen and promotes
drainage and aeration of the soil.
Sow alfalfa-but first determine II
the soil is acid, and If so, apply lime.
Never fail to inoculate either the soil
or the seed.

EUery County in State
to Be Organized TO
Fight Hog Cholera

In the campaign Tor eradication of
hog cholera from the state OF Iowa, Dr.
! J. I. Gibson, state veterinarian, is or
saniz:ng the counties Tor the purpose
of securing better sanitary conditions
on the farms.
The state official takes the position
that if farms are kept in sanitary con-
tlition cholera is not likely to appear.
He condemns the use OF virus in treat
ment of hogs. unless the virus Is ham
died by competent veterinarians. The
promiscuous use OF virus, as in the
past. has been harmful, in his opinion.
He urges quarantine of infected farms,
with the use of serum. as the proper
method to fight cholera. II
The week of May % to IS, DR.. Glib
son will give to organization work in
Clay county. He will be assisted by
federal experts. The officials will hold
meetings at Everly. Dickens. Webb,
Royal. Langdon and Spencer. The pur-
pose of the meetings Is to organize by
townships and to pledge all farmers to
keep their farms In a sanitary condi-
tion. In case cholera appears the farm
ers will agree that the infected farm
shall be quarantined and disinfected to
protect the other farms OF that To-
cality. s. @E
Hog cholera places tax ranging
from $a5. 5000 to $4,000 annually on
each county of Iowa, DIR. Gibson says.
If this was a direct tax there immedi-
ately would be an uprising that would
wipe out such a proposition. he says.
Coming in the way Of hog cholera no
such united effort to eliminate the tax
has been made, he declares. r.
Cholera can be eradicated from the
state and kept out of Iowa by proper
sanitary methods on the farm, the ex-
perts say. After Clay county Is orga-
nized other counties will be lined up for
the big fight, they declare.
