The above is a circular issued by
the Illinois Central railroad compa-
ny and distributed by the thousands
all over the territory adjacent to the
l. C. railroad.
Mr.. Dodd informs us that he is
now milking this celebrated COW
three times day and that the guam
tity of milk is increasing, even dur
ing the bad weather. He refused
a $1,000 offer for the COW. This
was one of the cows drawn by Master
Paul Dodd in the Boys and Girls
Holstein Dairy Club of Martin.
Later we expect to tell you more
about this COW with a national rep
utation.

GRAZING ABILITY OF
HOGS NOT REALIZED
Men Who Understand Importance
of Ample Growth and Ten
der Foliage Make Profits.

(By C. w. HICKMAN, Animal Husban-
dry Department, University of Idaho.)
Perhaps the high price of grain will
awake farmers to the full apprecia-
ton of the grazing ability of hogs.
There never was SO great an incentive
to save grain and use green forage.
It is generally understood now that
profitable hog-feeding in summer in
wolves the use of pasture of some kind,
but there is more difference in hog
pastures than many people suppose.
However a few men realize the i'm
portance of ample growth and tender
palatable forage in a hog pasture, and
they profit by the knowledge.
Very often the only hog-tight field
pasture near the barn that serves for
all kinds of stock. Horses and sheep
keep the grass too short for cattle
or hogs. Instances have probably
come to notice when hogs on such a
pasture last year did not return mar
ket price for the grain.they ate. Other
farmers nearby whose hogs ran. in al
falfa, clover and rape figured that
they got much more than market price
for the grain fed, and in some in
stances twice as much. This means
that their hogs in good pasture prob
ably made twice as much pork from
each hundred pounds of grain as was
made by the hogs on short grass.
The hog will eat an abundance OF
green forage if given chance. The
important thing to bear in mind is
that the better the forage the more
the hog will eat of it, and then the
more grain there is left for other pur.
poses. Good succulent pasture crops
like alfalfa, clover or rape often make
400 to 800 pounds of pork per acre be-
sides what can be accounted for
through the grain fed.

nomic principle does not obtain in
time of peace. Argentina has long
since made it a felony to slaughter
heifer calves. IF we kill all the calves
it is only a question of time before we
will have no cows. Is it not a penny
wise and pound foolish" policy to kill
the future cow In order to get the
dirty dollar In our hand right on the
spot? The farmer gets the dollar or
two for the calf, and 16 cents gallon
for his milk in 80 days and this knocks
him off his economic perch. Keeping
the calf until it becomes COW means
an investment with slow returns, but
with mighty satisfactory returns con-
sidering the present prices of good
milk cows.
So now, behold the inevitable
drought and famine from cutting off
the stream at it's source. Yes, the
fact cannot be denied that we have
killed so many calves that both our
milk supply and our meat supply is on
the blink and a good milk COW is al
most worth her weight in gold.
Here is the proposition: In the
long run, is cows milk too valuable
to feed to cows calf?

PROTECT YOUNG PIGS

When Vitality Has Been Permit

Susceptible to Disease.

Protect young swine from cholera by
so arranging the breeding pens and
hog houses that good drainage, sun
light, and fresh air will be insured, is
the advice of DR.. @. w. Hobbs, field
veterinarian and superintendent of
the serum laboratory at the Kansas
State Agricultural college.

pneumonia and other diseases said
Doctor Hobbs. eff allowed to nest
in a draft, they may contract disease.
Their vitality will at any rate be low

cholera. Overlooking either the moth

fat producing food. will also render
the pigs more susceptible to disease.
ssDo not allow communication be-
tween your hog lot and the lots be-

'Do not put new stock-either hogs
or cattle-with hogs already on the
farm. Newly purchased hogs should
be put into separate Enclosures well
separated from the herd already on
the farm and kept under observation

stock cars, unloading chutes, and pens
are likely to be infected with hog chol-
era organisms.

day they die. Do not allow chickens

"Ponds should be drained and thor

cannot be done they should be fenced

lows become a source of infection on

Talbot, being powerless to answer
this, made matters worse by suggest

proceeded to unfold the errand upon
which he had come.
Padden was gloomily dining In a
restaurant that evening when young
man with a very pretty girl entered.
AS they drew near he recognized
Burns, a fellow club member, and bow
ed. Burns came up to the table,
and introduced him to the young lady
as his cousin, Miss Adams. Padden
asked them if they would not join him,
and Burns very readily accepted the
invitation.
Padden found Miss Adams exceed
ingly good company. She was bright,
well informed, and with a mental
equipment capable of forming opin-
ions of her own, which were in the
main sane and reasonable. Besides,
she had a sense of humor which Pad
den thought delightful. Padden was

The practice of grazing soy beans
