more important than his, would then
belittle him and hold him up to ridi-

MY next appointment would be a
competent health officer. who of

much.
At this rate of increase, when only
the cost of feed is considered, one
COW that produced $50 pounds OF
butterfat year would show as much
income over cost of feed as 20 cows
whose average production was 100
pounds.
A study of the records, says the
Department of Agriculture, showed
that the cost of roughage was about
the same for all the cows, regardless
of production. The cost of grain
was considerably higher for the more
productive cows than for the low
producers, but it was much lower
per pound of butterfat The in
creased income, however, though it
should be credited in part to better
feeding, was evidently due more
largely to better COWS.

common kinds of feed.
The use of the silo often makes il
possible to save corn that would 9th
erwise be lost by frost
A good silo should be round. air
tight, waterproof, have walls that
are smooth inside, and be strong and
durable.
A silo should be placed where it
will give the greatest convenience in
feeding and where it will be least ex-
posed to extremely cold winds.
One hundred tons of silage will
feed rs cows 40 pounds of silage a
day for 200 days.
A silo IA feet in diameter and 80

Weed Out Stacker Cows

Income from dairy cows advances
at remarkable rate as milk pro-
duction increases. This is why poor
producers should be weeded from the
dairy herd, particularly at this time
when more milk is needed, when
feed is in demand, and when labor is
scarce. Tabulations of 1851 COW
testing association records gathered
by the United States Department of
Agriculture from various parts of
the country covering period of four
years, show that as the average but
terfat production increased from $50
to 200 pounds the income over cost
of feed advanced from $21 to $34;
that is, gain of so pounds, or SO
1-3 per cent, in production gave an
increased income of 62 per cent over
cost of feed. The next gain of so
pounds raised the income over cost
of feed to $50, the next to $50, the
next to STA, the next to $S7, the
next to 500 and the last to $118.
AS the butterfat production in
creased from $50 to 800 pounds, the
income over cost of feed advanced
from $40 to $63; in other words as
production doubled income over
feed cost advanced three times.
When the butterfat production in
creased from $50 pounds to $50
pounds that is, trebled-the income
over cost of feed advanced from $21
to 800, or almost five times as
