GOOD BUSINESS SCRAPS
THE IMPROBABLE MACHINE
Put the Dairy on a Business Basis.
Weed Out the "Boarder." "eraes
up" the Herd by Pure Bred Stock
and Feed Balanced Rations.

The dairy COW Is a prime factor of
Importance No branch or farming is
more fundamentally sound than dali
ry farming, though it is often true
that the returns from thla business
are not sufficient 10 warrant the I'M
vestment. material and labor charges.
The reasons why this is true are nu-
merous. and some Of them are in the
farmers own bailiwiok.
The Dairy Cow is a Machine.
The dairy COW is machine bought
and sold by the farmer to manufac-
ture milk from hay and grain. Un-
fortunately the production value of
each one of these machines is differ
emit For this reason each machine
must be tried and its standard deter
mined to learn whether it will turn
out milk at profit or loss.
Estimates made by the New York
State College of Agriculture show
very clearly that the average COW Ia
not an efficient machine. Her an
nual product is worth $1,000 and the
annual cost of maintaining $61.S5
exclusive of labor. This shows that
the return on a mans labor for car
ing for her is only S4.25 year.
Hence man keeping 80 cows-and
that is a good sized herd--would re-
ceive only $127.20. little over $40 =
month. or less than the lowest paid
boys wages on the farm. n manu-
facturer had such machines In his
factory he would scrap them with ~
little delay ~ possible.
Use q Dairy Scales and Dabeock Test.
The farmer feels that he cannot at
ford to beef his cows, but he must do
something to raise the average Of
milk production in his herd.
He should put his dairy on BUSH
ness basis and determine what each
COW is doing for him and then weed
out the poor animals. The use of the
milk scales and the Babcock test are
indispensable to success in dairying.

in assisting to organize "cow testing
associations Where such organiza-
tions have been formed great assist
ance has been rendered the farmer by
putting his dairy business on a sound
and more profitable basis.
"crade up" the Herd with pure Bred
Stock.
Good business, that's the first and
last principle, and it includes in its
curriculum grading III" the herd

chase Of pure bred animals Grade
cows may oe good, but they are never
as good SIS pure bred animals and the
calves OF pure Bred dam frosn pure
bred sire are always more valuable in
the market.
Feed Animals for Profit.
The foregoing is all spoken with
tie assumption that properly bal
anced rations are fed, because there
is nothing which win swallow profits
quicker than poor feeding, especially
nov while feeds are so high. Every
man keeping any kind of animals
should inform himself about balanc-
ing raticns. The Agricultural Expert
ment Station and farm papers will

ing it, there is but one remedy for
this condition, and that is chemical
one-a lime treatment. The amount
of lime to use is in proportion to the
sickness OF the soil and greater than
what would be needed for merely
sweetening It. The kind Of lime is
also important. and all students and

But it will not seem strange if you
remember that that is what lime does
in making mortar. This reflection will
also lead you to see again that here
again burned lime is the better form,
although pulyerized limestone is Of
ten recommended. In sandy soil
the lime dressing should be hardly
as great as might be necessary to
sweeten it thoroughly. its advantage
over ground limestone will then be
appreciated.

Our most exciting moments oc-
Cured in the North Sea, which is
alive with German U-boats. The ship
was stopped twice by enemy subma-

searched thoroughly the ship was al
lowed to go on. We stopped at sew
eral ports along the French coast to
disembark and take on passengers;
then we piled over to England.
The trip from England to America
was wonderful. We were ordered to
rut full steam ahead. The steamship

sighted after our departure from the

Upon our arrival to America, both
