FARMERS WIN WITH MILK.

Gradually this country will be set
tied to basis which is well ground
ed for dairying and when that time
comes there will be greater number
of financial men in the country dis
tricts. This southwestern section is
ideal for the dairy business in that
the native grass is fine, the nature
of the sure-crops is sufficient to sus-
tain the milk COW and the dairy bust
ness may be conducted at a less ex-
pense here than anywhre else. Just
to give a little idea of the dairy bust
ness when close application is made,
the following article which appear
ed in the Sunday Kansas City Star is
to our idea good reading:
This is the story of farmer who
makes from $4,000 to $4,000 year
on one hundred and sixty acres of
land.
There is nothing unusual about the
land, either. 1t is not an extraordin-
airy 100 acres in any particular. A
few years ago, in fact, it was regard
ed as run down place
81 could make more money" this
particular farmer said to a reporter
for the Star today, eff had better
farm"
The name of the farmer is J.. G.
Crist and he lives three miles north
west of Fort Scott.
No. no, Crist is not the kind of a
farmer who made his money in the
city and moved out to the farm to
spend it. He has been farmer all
his life.
What kind of farming? Just the
kind that any farmer could do on any
average 100 acres in Kansas.
What does he produce? Corn, al
lalfa and milk, This very common
production from a very common
quarter section, returns Crist about
$500 a month. ?
The 100 acres is divided into sever
al parts---a wood "patch" of about
fifteen acres, a pasture of sixty-five
acres, an alfalfa field of thirty
seven acres and forty-three acres of
corn. This division, of course, minus
the usual amount of ground subtract
ed for house and garden and barns
and lots, which is not counted in the
general arithmetic of farm acre age.
Crist uses corn for silage. and af-
ter filling his silos whatever remains
is cut up for fodder and fed in that
way. He counts on needing about
seven tons of silage year for each
cow, and he keeps about thirty-five
cows in his herd.
"Gee whiz," the reporter said. "It
must take a lot of hard work to run
this farm and take care of all Of
these cows"
at is not a hard job" Crist re-
piled, "but it is steady job. That's
all. l only keep one hired man. The
two of US do the work, and we do moi
work as hard as many farmers de
who live on farms of this size.

"But June" he said modestly ii.

Every dairyman knows that"
"Well, what about July?" the re
porter asked.
"My milk check for July was a lit
tie more than $500---just little less
than in June"

summer" Crist said. "For that
month my milk check was $428 from
thirty cows"
"Does your income run over S4O0

or cold?" the reporter asked.
ooh, yes" Crist replied. always
that. Any farmer with thirty mich
cows could count on over $500 a
month on an average" he said.
Crisis dairy herd is composed of
Jerseys, but any dairy cow will do as
we'll, he said.
"How did you happen to get into
the milk business?" Crist was asked.
Il started in that line when | was
boy. My father was dairy farm
er in Ohio, Ashland county, when
that part of the Western Reserve was
the milk and cheese center of the
country. We lived nineteen miles
from Wellington, o.. when it was the
headquarters for cheese, just as FL
gin now controls the butter market.
But Ohio allowed Wisconsin to take
the banner away from it.
"Well, we sold milk to cheese fac
tories when / was a kid, and when
grew up and came to Kansas in
1879, l still relied upon the old cow
to pull through to success. Why
man, when came to Kansas and took
claim away out in Lincoln county

sold the cream at Wilson, twenty
two miles away. In that day we sold
cream at seven cents a pound. And
at that, l made more money, year in
and year out, than the wheat farmers
made"
GLOW does it happen that you
selected Jerseys?" he was asked.
Purely by accident. had a
neighbor who owned one pure bred
Jersey, while was milking herd of
red-polled cows. | thought they were
pretty good cows at that.
"But this neighbours one pure bred
COW gave more milk than any two of
the best cows l had. So, one day, |
bought three pure bred Jerseys. They
were so much better than my old
farm cows that / soon got into the
pure bred business"
There is nothing else produced on
Crisis farm except corn and alfalfa
and milk. There is not hog on the
place. He keeps only three horses, a
motor car, and enough chickens to
supply the family with eggs.
In addition to the milk, which he
ships each day to Kansas City, Crist
keeps out five gallons a day for fam
! lily use. That is equivalent at pres
ent prices to about $50 month.
eve take life very easy and very
comfortable" he said. "We milk
twice each day, beginning at 6
o'clock in the morning and at 5
o'clock in the evening. We use a
milking machine, which saves about
one hour at each milking, or about
two hours a day.
"Any farmer could keep from ten
to fifteen cows as a 'side-line' on his

dairy with beef cows will not pay

"that you and Mrs. Crist were the
only farmers from Buorbon county
who went to the Worlds Fair at San
Francisco in 1916"

BREAKSRECORD
HELD BY ROSS

Norman Ross5 worlds record for
the 25-yard dash swim was shattered
three times on September 8, at Nep-
tune beach. Ross record was II Sec
onds flat. The new record holder
is George Cunha of Honolulu, who
made the distance in 10 2-5 seconds.
Walter Grace was second and Sandy
Goodman third.
Three heats were necessary to de-
eide the race. The first time the con-
testant heard the click of the gun and
were off at once, making the distance
in 10 seconds flat, which is remark
able time. But the gun had merely
clicked without exploding, and the
race had to be run over. In the
second heat Cunha and Grace finished
in a dead heat in 10 3-5 seconds. The
third heat was therefore necessary,
and in this Cunha came in first with
the time which establishes the new
worlds record.
Cunha also established q new Pa.
cific coast record in the 50-yard dash.
He was first, his time being "a rs

TRIM FISHING BOAT
LAUNCHED THIS WEEK

The trim little fishing boat which
is under construction for A. w. Nicely,
Charles T. Wilder and w. C. Wilder
was launched this week on the water
front, and will be ready Ior ner first
voyage in about 80 days.
Ed Lod's big crane did the launch
ing act, reaching down and picking
the boat off the ways and setting her
into the water. She is slightly longer
than the we'll known Seascout.
Matsufuji Co., builders, believe that
the little vessel will do II knots az
hour. She is fitted out about the same
as the Seascout, has four good berths,
a good stove and sink, a washbasin
and two ice chests.
Several suggestions have been made
by friends as to a name for her, but
so far none has been decided on. One
man offered to buy the name plate
providing the three fishermen would
christen her Ulua.
