the cost of feed during the four
months of test. The others gave re-
turns between these amounts, most
of them paying less than SIS.
Now, the cow paying $47.O2 in
four months is certainly worth more
than the COW paying 33 cents profit
in four months. Other things being
equal, the first cow is worth $46.69
every four months of her life. If
both COWS were MIXED six years, and
the same ratio was continuous, the
$846.36 and the 33c COW would pay
her owner for six years care 1894.
Of course the first COW would not
pay the full amount and neither
would the poorer cow pay 1914 be-
cause neither cow could keep up the
record for the whole II months of
the year. The first COW would show
a smaller profit and the poorer cow
an actual loss for each IL months
period.
But.
Aside from their value for beef,
would not the better cow be worth
something like $846.36 and the poor
err COW be worth something like
$5.49?
How much is a COW worth?
A difference of only five cents each
day in the amount of cream given
will make difference of about SIS
year in the net profit from the
COW. In six years, five cents per day
will amount to something like SIS.
At present prices a five cent differ
ence is only about One-eighth of a
pound of butter fat, not much diff
ference. But, isn't the cow giving
the five cent increase worth some
thing like SIS more than the COW
that does not? And isn't the COW
that gives 10 cents per day increase,
one-quarter of pound of butter fat,
worth something like $3.50 more?
How much is a COW worth?
The Enterprise would like to have
some of our dairymen tell how they
judge the value of a COW and will
gladly print any communications on
this subject.

cases to SO per cent, which is a big
item in itself, looking at it from a
dairy standpoint which we are work
ing toward.
Leaving this above item out, let us
consider what we could sell our grad
ed COWS and heifers for. We find that
an average good cow will bring
$4,000 and a No. 1 COW $4,000 and
heifers bred to freshen from $500
to $4,000, and we have more in
quiries at this price than we can be-
gin to fill. 1t figures as you can see
the great benefit in cooperating and
using pure blooded sires. Only here
and there have the farmers discov-
cred the same secret of breeding and
the farmer who insists on raising a
different breed than his neighbors
has failed to get the spirit Of sue
cessful business.
Whether it be crops or animals the
community should pull together to
advance the variety of the breed
which has proven most profitable in
that locality. By so doing we can
build up a trade center in our special
lines. A community may have sew
eral lines; for instance the same
breed of cattle, poultry or horses.
When buyer wants a carload of
dairy cattle he will cross several
states to get into community where
he can get the breed of his seeking
in carload lots. If buyer wants a
choice shipment of a certain breed
he will most likely find what he
wants in a community where all
raise the same thing. These are the
advantages in uniformity of breeds,
which makes it easier to get breed
ing stock with no liability of mix
ing breeds in case stock gets togeth-
er. Where this community cooper
alton exists the greatest excellence
should prevail, for all can share in
the profits and the success of the
future, which means nothing to
those raising a different breed of
stock.

COOPERATIVE CATTLE
BREEDING THAT PAID
A. L. Solum of the Douglas County
Breeders Association, Writes In
teresting Article on This Subject

Alexandria Cittzen.-In looking
over the books Of the Douglas Coun-
ty Breeders Assn. since we started
in 1910, we find some facts which
may be of some interest to new mem
bers and others.
When we started in we bought
seven sires, six Guernseys and one
Holstein. The sires were placed in
blocks, with members enough to have
approximately from sixty to sixty
five COWS. Garfield is block No. /,
Mr.. T. A. Erickson block No. 2, Mr..
A. l.. Solum block No. 3, Pete Han
son MOI, Olsen & Hanson block No.
S, Mr.. George Fairfield No. 6. The
last five blocks were near Nelson and
all were Guernseys. The Holstein
blocks were J. H. Cooley block l, at
Hudson, and Albert Riten block No.
2, at Carlos, the latter having his
own sire, which made two Holstein
blocks in all.
There we're f1fty-four members in
all, and the sires which came to
$500. cost us on the average about
$500 per member. This was our
first expense, and since then we have
had some losses and culling out of
undesirable sires, which amounts to
about $4,000. This with the first
cost, would amount to in seven years
we have organized $1,19O.OO for the
sires on hand. And in this time
there has been about $500 COWS bred,
estimating a sire service at SO cents
would make a total of $1,15O.00,
which is more than the first cost of
the sires.
The above rate for service is a
very low estimate as the fee for a
pure-bred is generally 5000.
Now figuring the sires we have on
hand-the least money we could buy
same for would be 100000, which
is very low estimate, as some of
these dams in the last official record,
made from 500 to 700 pounds of but
terfat. The sires and service fees
would leave us credit balance of
$4,000 from cost of sires. Now let
us look into the matter further. We
have not as yet considered the graded
COWS and heifers we have gotten out
of the deal and the increased amount
of butterfat per COW, which has in
creased 80 per cent and in many

| INEBRIATE HOSPITAL
WILL BE CHANGED
Gov. Burnquist Signed Bill Making
Willmar Institution An In
sane Asylum
From Willmar Tribune:


Governor Burnquist signed the bill
changing the State Hospital Farm
for Inebriates at Willmar, into an in
sane asylum, last Thursday after
non. This means that the institu-
ton will share more literally in the
appropriations and grow faster than
was possible under the law which
accredited it. The editor happened
to drop into the executive office
shortly after the bill was received
for official sanction by the governor,
which made it a law. Governor
Burnquist said he was convinced of
the wisdom of the change.
The large farm in connection, it's
location, and the buildings are all
adapted for the new use, while
there is prediction that the institu-
ton will speedily grow in order to
relieve the congested conditions. in
the other institutions.
Supt. George H. Freeman tells the
Morris tribune., 1917-03-16

Tribune that there is really nothing
much to get, as yet, in regard to the
changes. The law makes the change
effective August first. The board of
control has recommended the cree
ton Of several new cottages to use
for inmates, and also the erection of
a central kitchen. Until the appro-
priations have been passed upon, it
is not known how extensive these
improvements will be. One of the
cottages is to be used for keeping
inebriates in, as the law did not en-
tirely abolish this feature. The

Benson Man Tops the Market

The South st. Paul Daily Reporter
gives R. G. Hanson of Benson, credit
for topping the market early last
week at a figure of $14.45 on a sin
gle load of porkers. The shipment
was comprised of 43 hogs averaging
3O2 pounds, one of the heaviest good
lot averages of the season.
"Mr. Hanson" said the South st.
Paul daily, 'is a buyer-shipper. The
quality of the hogs which he ac-
quired in the vicinity of Benson re-
fleet credit on the farmers who raised
them, and the figure at which they
sold demonstrates the value of rails
ing only the better kinds.

SHE BANKED TOO SOON.
Postmistress Short-Expected Breach
of Promise Money.

Des Moines, Ia, Oct. IS Mary A..
Nolan, postmistress at Patterson,
Warren county, recently bought a
large farm. She paid cash. This fact
aroused the suspicious Of the federal
postal inspector. He investigated.
Last Tuesday Miss Nolan was ar
rested for appropriating $500 from
the cash drawer for her personal use.
She was given preliminary hearing in
the United States court here and
waived to the federal grand jury. She
was released on $4,000 bond. She
made part restitution.
Miss Nolan was to have replaced
the money with her winnings in the
breach of promise suit brought
against w. M. Grynn, banker at
Cummings, according to her testi-
mony. The inspector did not wait
until the final opinion of the supreme
court, where the case is pending for
third hearing. She asks for $4,000
as neart palm.
The breach of promise suit has
been one of the most bitterly con-
tested in the Warren county courts.
1t has been heard three times in the
district court and twice in the su-
preme court. Miss Nolan produces
affectioIate letters at each trial. 1t
is these letters, her attorneys claim,
which have won her favorable YER
diets in the lower court. C. A. Rob-
ins, assistant attorney general, is at
torney for the banker.
Had the federal inspector waited a
few weeks before examining her
books, she would have replaced the
loss, Miss Nolan claims.

to 200 bushels per acre is the yield.
The potatoes are of excellent quality
and many measure eight inches in
length by four in thickness. They are
being stored until later il the year
when they will be available for local
USE and it is expected that they will
sell readily for seed if not sold before
planting time.
