DAIRYINc in SEWARD COUNTY

While dairying as generally under
stood, has been carried on in Seward
county for a considerable time, its
introduction as distinct branch OF
farming, backed up by high class
dairy cattle Is still in its infancy.
The modern COW is, figuratively
speaking, a rnachine used to convert
cheap, bulky feeds into high priced
concentrated dairy products.
It is needless to discuss here the
importance of the weekly cream
check or the value Of the old COW
in her relation to the general welfare
of thousands of Kansas farmers. This
story is well known by all who have
taken the trouble to find out how our
thrifty farmers, of moderate means,
have tided over the strenuous times
following years of drouth and crop
failures.
Practically all this has been done
with common grade cows, with little
or no attempt at improvement and
increased production. Many Of these
animals are doubtless mere boarders
and do not pay for their keep. In

sILos ARE GOOD INVESTMENT

One acre of corn or sorghums in a
silo is worth one and one-half to two
acres in the field, according to Ed
ward C. Johnson, dean Of extension
in the Kansas State Agricultural Col
lege.
"Not only is the silo good invest
ment, but it is patriotic duty to save
and utilize feed crops to the best ad-
vantage" said Mr.. Johnson, "and this
can be done only with the aid of the
silo.
"a silo that cost $3.50 before the
war can be bought for $500 now-an
increase of $3.50, or less than so per
cent. Alfalfa hay, corn, sorghums,
and other feeds are worth at least
twice as much now than they were be-
fore the war. Therefore, if silo
was a good investment then, it is an
even better investment now, and on
beef or dairy farm Of 100 acres or
more will pay for itself in one year
in the amount of feed saved and the
increased production of beef or milk.
"Kansas was credited with 1850
silos March l, 1917, and probably has
between 10000 and 1900 now.
Five thousand silos should be added
this year-2,500 pit silos in western
Kansas and $500 above-ground silos
in eastern Kansas.
Through feed wasted or poorly
utilized every live stock farmer,
whether he produce beef or dairy cat
tie, pays for silo every year even
if he does not erect one. 1t is better
to construct the silo and pay for it
only once.
mo type of silo is the best under
all conditions. That type should be
used that is best suited to local needs.
"Silage will keep indefinitely in
either underground silos or above
ground silos, but the underground
silo can be made with so little outlay
of cash that in those sections where
there is no danger of their filling with
surface water it is practical to have
several of them to store the large
amount of fodder which is produced
in a good year.
"The silo protects against the lean
years and prevents the waste Of feed
in the fat years. 1t is good patriot
! ism to dig or build silos this year and
it is also good business"

sow RYE FOR FALL PASTURE

EARLY fall and winter pasture will
help greatly to supplement the scanty
feed supply on many farms in Sew
ard county. The abundant rains
which have recently fallen should
greatly stimulate the seeding of rye,
which has proven to be our most de-
pendable source Of fall pasture for
all young stock. While grasshoppers
are numerous and seriously threaten
tn eearly sown rye as well as wheat,
very efficient methods are known for
combating them.
All protein feeds, such as shorts,
tankage, meatmeal, oilmeal, cotton
seed cake and meal, etc., are scarce
and high in price, but fall pasture
will take their place in large meas
ure.
In addition to the pasture liber-
al portion of whatever grains are
available, as ground kafir, milo or
feterita, should also be fed to main
tain steady growth. A stunted ami
NAL is always losing proposition. A
| loss in weight and consequent loss in
condition should be prevented if pos
sible. Nothing will maintain steady
growth so cheaply as good PASTURE

production. The law Of prepotency
will operate here. In other words,
the strong points of the better bred
animal will predominant in the Off
spring. In due time, exchange this
bull for another, not related, Of same
breed, and as good or better, and still
further Improvement will result.
Shortly you will be the owner Of
high grade cows and heavy producers.
Holsteins as a breed are rapidly
coming to the front and winning fav-
or everywhere with practical dairy
men. Several years Of slxillful breed
ing with the best producing strains
Of blood in this breed has resulted in
an increased butterfat content, which
coupled with the Holstein's well
known strong point = quantity -
makes a combination desired in any
breed Of dairy cattle, viz: quantity
and quality.
The size and hardihood of the Hol-
stems as a breed, compared with the
Jersey or Guernsey or even the Ayr
shire, especially fits them for west
ern Kansas conditions.
Mr.. Frank Witt of Liberal, Kansas,
perhaps heads the list of pure bred
Holstein breeding in Seward county.
Mr.. S. w. Willmarth is another
breeder. Mr.. Witt now has over
forty cows in his herd, some of them
direct descendants of dams with
recorded production Of twenty-five
pounds Of butter fat in seven days.
A visit to the homes Of these dairy
herds is worth while.
After comfortable winter quarters
are provided, back Of every profitable
dairy herd stands the silo, that in
dispensable adjunct to every up-to-
date stock farm, the only practical
means of carrying over the surplus
feed, or the regular feed supply, to
use whenever needed any day in the
year.
With the increase in number of
greatly improved dairy herds, will
come COW testing associations organ
lied by dairymen for the express pur-
pose of culling out deficient low pro-
ducing animals in the various herds.
In the face of the increased invest
ment, high priced feeds and heavy
operating expense, necessity demands
nothing less for profitable pro-
duction. Constant improvement must
ever be the watchword. Competition
is keen now, but it will be even more
so after the Wharf.-The Farm Bureau

A REAL TASK

When the United States Government
undertook to feed the other Allied Ma
tions, they took upon themselves real
task. probably one that was the largest
in the worlds history. Food is one of
the main things that holds the morale of
the people at home and helps the man
in the trench to fight and to stand the
hardships of campaign.
The Government has asked that
those at home conserve the sugar sup
ply in order that our supply of this sta
pie article will go the farthest possible
and supply those who are helping us.
If England can get along on two
pounds per person per month and the
others as low as one pound per month";
why should we not do the same? Is
there any reason why we should stuff"
ourselves when others are in need
Would you not sooner stay at home and
save on the sugar voluntarily than to
spend your time and energy in the
trenches? Then what are you going to
dO-save on sugar or will you hoard it
and all the more miserable for so doing,
and some day glOat to your friends of
your ability to have have sugar when
others are saving it?
The Government appeals to YOU.

We will be held blameless if we

We cannot administer the food
