LARGER PRODUCTION
FROM DAIRY ANIMALS
Intelligent Feeding Benefits Pro-
Queer and Consumer.
Good Use Of Legume Hay and Corn
Sllage Reduces Cost of Rations
for Cows Without Decreas-
Ing Supply Of Milk.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture)
Legume hay and corn silage formed
a large part of the rations of those
cows which made the greatest income
over cost of feed In contrasting associ-
ations, in which the records of 5,5S7
cows covering period of four years
were studied by specialists of the de-
partment of agriculture. By feeding
such feeds larger production can be
combined with economic production
and the income over cost of feed can
be increased. Economic production.
benefits both producer and consumer.
The feeding of concentrates to dairy
cows should be based on known pro-
duction. Farmers who are too busy
to test their own cows may now have
the work done for them at nominal cost
by joining a contrasting association.
AS ordinarily conducted, cow-testing
association is an organization of about
20 dairy farmers who comparatively
employ man to test their cows for
economical production. The tester
not only weighs the milk and the feed
but he tests the milk for butterfat and
assists the farmers In feeding their
cows according to production.
Before the formation of cow-testing
association in certain dairy district
few farmers fed grain to their dry
cows, and none fed balanced ration
to any of their cows; prepared feeds
Of unknown merit were largely used
and some farmers dished up the grain
with scoop shovel and fed all their
cows alike, regardless of production.
Through the active cooperation of
all the members of the association
those conditions were rapidly changed.
Better feeding of dry cows increased
the milk flow during the next lactation
period; the use of a well-balanced ra-
ton brought about more economical
feeding, and abandoning the scoop
shovel method and feeding concentrates
according to production greatly re-
duced the cost of feed. However, the
elimination of low producers that did
AtOt ACcPO1Q " DCttCA lCC0 thn0 NQ1 e "a
fected the greatest saving of all. In
some herds these changes more than
doubled the income over cost of feed.
The dairymen belonging to that asso-
citation demonstrated that 1t pays to
keep good cows and to feed them well.
The contrasting association records
clearly show that the most practical,
far-reaching, and vitality important
facts connected with the economical
production Of milk may be grouped log
ically under these three heads: Selec.
tion, breeding. feeding. Careful and in
telligent feeding, care, and manage
ment lift the dairy business to a GER
tain level, but the highest level can
be reached only when to these are add
ed careful selection and intelligent
breeding.

Little Profit In Salt.

A recent investigation by the bu-
reau of mines proves that a salt fam
inc In the United States is unlikely,
says the Popular Science Monthly. At
the same time 1t was established that
owing to the low price of salt and the
abundance of its supply there is but
iittie profit IN the salt industry, al
though the American salt works have
supplied 10 recent years practically
all the salt consumed in the United
States. What a pity-for the prof.
teers-salt Is not used In munitions!

TUESDAY, JULY 9, 1918

ONE Of the noted characters of the
United States died last week-Senator
Benjamin R. Tillman, of South Caro-
lima. He was a typical Southerner-
"a fire-eater" he had many vir-
tues, one Of them being the frankness
with which he spoke his mind on any
subject that he considered needed at
tention, and he was very strong in his
convictions. When he first entered the
United States Senate nearly quarter
OF century ago he was so rabid and
aggressive that he gained the title OF
"Pitchfork Ben." but in recent years
he was quieter in his actions and he
gained the. confidence and esteem Of
his colleagues to very great degree.
He was a. bitter against members OF
his own party il he thought the occa-
sion warranted as he was against those
Of . different political faith. He will
be missed and mourned by the men,
bsrs Of the Senate and by the people OF
South Carolina. who he had served
long and faithfully.

Demand for Canned Milk Of Goats

California has large ranch stocked
with Swiss and Nubian goats, the milk
from which is condensed and canned.
Goats milk Is said to be very rich, and
is in demand as nourishing food for in
valids. A well-bred mich goat will pro-
duce IL times its weight in milk. A
COW produces yearly three times her
weight If she is good mixer, but the
goat cannot be depended upon for a
steady supply Of milk at all times
through the year. Therefore it is said
that canning is the best method of
making a goat dairy profitable. An H.
ounce can of condensed goat milk re-
tails at 20 cents In the West, and the
sale has thus far been confined chiefly
to drug stores.-Pacific Daily Review.

CHAPTER Xxx.

Next morning the Orakxai Pathan
sat and summed himself In the cave
mouth, emitting worldly wisdom UNI
adulterated with divinity. Az King
went toward him tn see to whom he
spoke he grinned and pointed with his
thumb. and King looked down on some
sick and wounded men who sat in
crowd together on the ramp, ten feet
or 80 below the cave.
They seemed stout soldierly fellows.
Men Of another type were being kept
at n distance by dint Of argument and
threats. Away In the distance was Mu-
hammad Amin with his broad back
turned to the cave. In alteration with
dozen other mullahs. For the time
be was out Of the reckoning.
"Some Of these are wounded" the
Pathan explained "Some have sores.
Some have the bellyache. Then again.
some are sick Of words, hot and cold by
day and night. All have served In the
army. All have medals. All are de-
serters. some for one reason. some for
another and some for no reason ut all.
Bull-wtth-a-beArd looks the other way.

Potato Improvement.
The following data from Mr..
Carl Madsen of Askov, shows
how to proceed to improve your
potato crop.
Fall 1915 he saved the 5 best
hills in his field.
Spring 1917 he planted 40 hills
from each of the 5 hills.
Fall 1917 he weighed the to-
tails of the 5 sets of 40 hills with
the following results:
No. / yielded at the rate OF
413 bushels per acre; No. 2, 263;
No. 3. 367; No. 4, 317; No. 5, 321;
No. 6, or 40 hills taken from the
average of the field yielded at
the rate of 319 bushels per acre.
Spring 1918 he planted IS hills
from No. / and IS hills from No.
3 and two rows from the two
best hills saved from No. 6.
At digging time all of these
will be weighed to note the in
crease of the seed from Nos. /
and 3 over the average of the
field. Just now Nos. l and 3
look healthier and thriftier.
Thru selection of this kind it
is just as easy to grow good stuff
and it is a heap more satisfac-
tory.

Farm News
Edited by w. j. Corwin, Manager
Pine County Farm
Bureau.

Recently concern has come
into existence known as the Fed
eral Farm Bureau, with several
branch Offices thruout the coun-
try and one located in St. Paul.
The Executive Committee of
the Pine County Farm Bureau
wishes to announce that this
concern has no connection what
soever with the Pine County
Farm Bureau organized to CO.
operate with the state and Gov
eminent in conducting food pro-
duction campaigns and in pro-
noting the best interests of
Pine County.
This Federal Farm Bureau is
a concern selling a farm account
ing system costing $500. 1t is
we'll to state that certain testi-
monials have been secured by
this concern from Government
officials advocating farm account
ing particularly in connection
with the income tax reporting,
by which it appears that the con-
Germ may be attempting to rep
resent to the farmers that they
have been especially endorsed by
the Federal Government.
The Farm Bureau Executive
Committee does not want to be
understood as desiring to do any
injury to this concern issuing
this account book or to discour-
age anyone from keeping farm
accounts. However, they do
want to make it clear that this
concern mas no connection with
the government or the County
Farm Bureaus.
1t is we'll to state that a SIM
pie and practical farm account
book was recently prepared by
the Extension Division of the
Minnesota Agricultural College
and distributed at a cost of 10
cents each. Our Pine County
Farm Bureau has distributed
over 80 Of these books, and more
information regarding them can
be obtained at the Farm Bureau
headquarters, Hinckley, MINI.
