EXPERT TESTING cows FOR COMMUNITY.

(From the United States Department of
Agriculture.)
Increases Of from $40 to SIS and in
some cases much higher in the annual
profits from each dairy COW have re-
suited from the organization Of COOP
eratlve cow-testing associations in the
United States, according to statistics
gathered by the dairy division of the
United States department of agricul-
ture. The expense of membership in
these associations, on the other hand,
has been only about $1.50 per COW
per year. The organizations therefore
have been very profitable.
Because Of the great and obvious
economic advantages arising from the
associations dairy specialists of the
department believe that the organiza-
tons are one of the most important
factors for the upbuilding and devel-
opment of the dairy industry in this
country. Such an organization con-
sists generally of 26 farmers, living
within radius Of few miles, who
cooperate to hire an expert tester to
keep accurate accounts Of the
amounts and cost Of feed consumed
by each cow in the association, the
quantity of milk produced by each
and it's richness in butterfat. These
statistics usually reveal the fact that
some cows are not producing enough
to pay for their keep, while others are
highly profitable. Acting on this in
formation the owner Of the COWS dis
poses of the least desirable Of his
animals and makes up his herd exclu-
sively of those that produce consid-
cradle profit.
The membership of the association
Is placed at 26 so that the tester can
make complete round each month,
devoting one work day to each men,
Der, and that he may keep his records
on monthly basis. 1t has been found
by careful experiments that the aver
ages based on monthly tests do not
vary more than two per cent from the
production, as shown by daily OBJ
servations. Since the tester is an ex-
pert and can make the necessary tests
and computations rapidly, and since
he can bo depended on to make his

observations independently Of press
ure Of work on the individual farm,
the owners Of dairy cows find it cheap
er and more satisfactory in many
cases to have their testing done
through the association than to I'm,
dertake to do it themselves.
There are now nearly $50 CONTEST,
ing associations in the United States,
135 having been added during the last
year. These associations Lave an
aggregate membership Of $500 farm
ers owning approximately 10000
COWS. The cow-testing association
originated in Denmark in 1895 and the
first of the organizations in this coun-
try was formed in Michigan in 1906
Because Of the value of the associa-
tons to the dairy industry of the
country the United States department
Of agriculture is stimulating interest
in them and is assisting farmers in
their organization.
Bull Associations.
Another and somewhat similar line
OF cooperative work which is being
encouraged by the department for the
improvement of dairying and cattle
raising is the formation of bull asso-
Citations. The function of these Or
CARNATIONS is to make available, at
slight expense, the services of pure
bred bulls for the herds Of the asso-
GATED farmers. It has been found
that often the total value Of the scrub
bulls owned by farmers is sufficient
to supply through a bull association
purebred bulls for the herds of all.
A number Of "blocks" Of the associa-
! ton members are formed and a pure
bred bull placed in each. The bulls
are shifted every two years to pre-
vent interviewing.
A considerable proportion of the
nearly 100000 cows in the United
States are too inferior to produce
proftably. Where the bull associa-
tfons have been formed the grade Of
the stock has been raised appreciably.
Dairy specialists Of the department
believe that these associations will be
an important factor in increasing the
quality of dairy cattle throughout the
country.

TREATING HOGS WITH WORMS
Prescription Given for Animal Weigh.
ing About 100 Pounds-Preven.
tive Is Recommended.

To expel worms from hogs the fol-
lowing prescription is right for pig
weighing about 100 pounds: Santonin,
five grains; calomel, two grains !;
areca nut, two grains; sodium bicar-
Donate, one dram. Keep the hogs
off feed for about II hours and give
the dose in slop Of middlings. The
evening of the same day give a mash
of wheat bran. This will flush the
bowels. Gather all worms and burn
them.
Worms often are the forerunner of
disease.
If a hog or pig has big appetite
and thriftless condition, with dry
dead hair, it is good indication of
| the presence Of worms.
Salt and sulphur and charcoal
should be kept in every pigpen and
pig yard so the pigs can help them
selves.
This is corrective and proven
tive of worms.

4 Difference IN
THE INVESTMENT
The Western Canada Farm Prof.
it's Are Away in Excess.

Mr.. George II. Barr, Of Iowa, holds
seven sections Of land in Saskatche-
wan. These he has fenced and rent
ed, either for pasture or cultivation,
all paying good interest on the invest
ment.
Mr.. Barr says that farm land at
home in Iowa is held at $3.50 per acre.
These lands are in a high state of cul-
tivation, with splendid improvements
in houses, barns, stables and silos, and
yet, the revenue returns from them are
only from two to three per cent per
annum on investment.
Last year, 1915, his half share Of
crop on quarter section in Saskatche-
wan, wheat on new breaking, gave him
35 per cent on the capital invested
$500 an acre. The crop yield was
35 bushels per acre. This year the
same Quarter-section, sown to- Red
Fife on stubble gave 1886 bushels. His
share, 1,643 bushels of Northern at
$1.56 per bushel, gave him $2,563.08.
Seed, half the Irvine and half the
threshing bill cost him $453.OO. Allow
ing a share Of the expense of his an
nual inspection trip, charged to this
quarter-section even to $1,000, and he
has left 100000, that is SO per cent
of the original cost Of the land. ANY,
one can figure up that another aver
age crop will pay, not 2 or 3 per cent
on investment, as in Iowa, but the
total price of the land. Mr.. Barr says
'"That's no joke now.'
Mr.. Barr was instrumental in bring
ing a number Of farmers from Iowa to
Saskatchewan in 1913. He referred to
one of them, Geo. II. Kerton, a tenant
farmer in Iowa. he bought a quarter
section of improved land at $4,000 an
acre near Hanley. From proceeds of
crop in 1914, 1915, 1916, he has paid
for the land Mr. Barr asked him a
week ago: "Well, George, what shall
I tell friends down home for you?''
The reply was: 'Tell them I shall
never go back to be a tenant for any
man." Another man, Charles Haight
realized $4,000 in cash for his wheat
crops in 1915 and 1916.
Mr.. Barr when at home devotes
most of his time to raising and deal.

inspection to Saskatchewan, he real.

ture supply the feed all summer while
cattle are growing, and then in the
fall, take them to farmsteads to be
finished for market. There is money

TO RELIEVE CHOKING ANIMAL
Of Beast Through Paper Funnel
Is Efficacious.

1t is not generally known that many
fine animals might be saved from
choking by very simple remedy.
Where the trouble develops take the
white of an egg, make a funnel OF p.*-
per and pour it into a bottle. Then
elevate the animals head and pour
the fluid down the throat. The relief
is instantaneous.
The egg serves to make the throat
kassages and the object that is imped-
ing it perfectly slick and enables the
obstruction to be swallowed.

WASTE In FEEDING ROUGHAGE
Often Occurs Where Feed Is Of tn

Waste is caused by giving too much

roughage of inferior quality is
used. A still greater waste attends
the feeding Of animals in yards that
are muddy, or are covered with snow
or ice, and in which they are exposed
to cold winds and storms.
