CHIEF ESSENTIALS
IN DAIRY BUSINESS
Consider Selection of Profitable
Cows, Markets and Loca-
ton of the Farm.

The prospective dairyman should
consider the selection of profitable
cows, the markets, the location OF the
farm, and the prospects for profits,
according to J. B. Fitch, associate pro-
fessor of dairy husbandry in the Kan
sas State Agricultural college.
Experience with dairy cattle is the
main essentials in this business" said
Professor Fitch. "The dairyman must
not only be good judge Of cattle, but
he must understand how to feed and
care for stock in such a manner that
will bring best results.
"In selecting a breed, one should
consider the question from a com
munity standpoint. If there is GER
tain breed already in the community
it is advisable and wise to adopt it and
develop the best herd possible. Com
munities should be organized and farm
ers and dairymen cooperate more ex-
tensively in the development and rails
ing of purebred animals. In communi-
ties where there are only few cows it
Is advisable to purchase bull for gen.
eral community service. Farmers are
not only aided in disposing of their
animals, but feed may be purchased to-
gether or extensive advertising of their
stock in farm papers can be more
economically handled"
One should not start with purebred
cattle at first unless he has had ex-
perience, believes Professor Fitch. This
being the case, it is advisable to buy a
few good grade cows of some particu-
lar breed, and with a purebred bull,
grade up the herd. A bull backed by
good individuals and excellent dairy
records should head the herd.

be done by twisting the blood vessel

IDLE FARM ACREAGE
MEANS GREAT WASTE
Greater Profits Can Be Obtained
by Farmers Who Apply Bet
ter Planning on Farm.

Idle acres on the farm mean a finan-
cial loss to the farmer, points out DR..
Theodore Macklin, in charge of rural
economics in the Kansas Agricultural
Experiment station. Uncultivated land
indicates that so many dollars of the
farmers investment are unutilized and
that the farmer or operator is paying
so much rent or interest on capital
from which he receives no returns.
formerly land was exceedingly
cheap" said Doctor Macklin, "and
then the farmer could not be criticized
for not having used the land to it's
fullest extent. Now, however, condi-
tons have changed and land has a
high value.
"The farm acreage of the United
States comprises 46 per cent of the
total land area, but of this acreage
only 81 per cent is improved land.
While much of the unimproved land
actually is utilized in the production
of live stock, there is far too much
waste land.
obviously if this land were put to
proper use it would constitute. a vast
acreage which could be used for the
production of food supply. To the in
dividual farmer any procedure which
would bring into use the idle acres
would result In greater profits for the
farm business.

Advice for Husbands.

Most words of wisdom that fall from
the pens of experts on the subject OF
love are written for women. Appar-
entity these little sermons are written
with the idea that only mans love is
worth keeping and that woman's can
not possibly last.
We are told that man must never be
bored by trifiing domesticities, but In
stead be encouraged to talk about his
business, and so on. Why should 1t
be addressed to one sex only?
Why not say to husbands: Remem-
Der that women are women and that
their great need is for love. Love is
their vocation, the thing they do best,
their greatest need in life. Why should
the wife be expected to listen admir-
ingly to the husbands tale of routing
of a commercial rival when he does
not show an equal courtesy when she
describes her experiences Of the day?

(From the United States Department of

Sheep can be successfully wintered
with smaller use of grain than is
needed for other live stock. If in good
condition at the beginning of winter
and given the right kind of hay they
can be carried through the winter
without grain unless the lambs are to
be dropped before going to pasture.
All depends upon the kind of hay or
other roughage used.
Legume hays stand at the fore front
as roughage for sheep. No other
roughages approach them in feeding
values. The coarse-stemmed hays
like timothy, red top and bluegrass
have very few leaves and therefore
are poor sheep feeds. Hays having
large amount of timothy in them
also are undesirable. Not only is tim
othy unpalatable to the sheep, but it
causes serious cases of constipation.
The dry timothy heads work into the
wool, causing irritation to the skin,
lessening the value of the clip and
making shearing difficult. When tim
othy or other coarse-stemmed hay is
fed to sheep in winter quarters it be-
comes necessary to use some supple

ALFALFA TO RESTORE SOILS
Power of Crop to Revive Wornow
Lands Deficient in Humus and
Nitrogen Is Well Known.

The power of alfalfa to restore worn.
out lands and to build up soil that is
deficient in humus and nitrogen is
known to all of us. 1t can easily be
seen by anyone who will compare the
subsequent crops grown on alfalfa 500
with those on ordinary soil, or ever
where barnyard manure has beer
heavily applied. Realizing these facts
1t is evident that alfalfa must be
grown more extensively in our eror
rotations to maintain and restore the
soil that is being depleted by the large
crops of sugar beets and other prod.
ucts. Many acres Of alfalfa hay land
are sacrificed each year for the more
remunerative returns from beets
cantaloupes or potatoes grown on al
falfa sod, and as result alfalfa hay
has become scarce and the price is ad.

stock feeders. We must work all these
things to balance so as to eQualix

ut Is easy to overlook the fact that
land is lying idle on almost every
farm. This has been true because
farming has not been considered
business, subject to regular principles
which affect other lines of business. In
the planning of farm buildings, the
location and building of fences, and
mapping the shape of the fields and
lanes, much land has been rendered
unavoidable. With increased prices.
greater profits can be obtained by
farmers who apply themselves to bet
ter planning of farm organization.
1.-TWO outstanding features are seen
in the present food crisis brought on
by the war. The supply Of food pro-
duction is short or insufficient to meet
the demands and there are possible
ways of increasing the food supply.
This possible increase can come only
when greater efficiency is practiced by

From one-quarter to one-half pound of

Fifteen ewes fed 30 pounds timothy
hay and OBS pound grain per head
daily lost 7.6 pounds each during the.
same time that another lot receiving
the same weight of grain and clover
hay gained 6.5 pounds. The IA ewes
fed clover hay dropped 16 strong,

dropped IL strong and five weak
