spond to increased feed more slowly
than others. Best results can not
be obtained by attempting to bring a
cow into her full milk flow during
the first week following freshening.
Even though the fresh COW does not
go Off her feed her digestive system
may be overtaxed and the keen edge
worn off her appetite so her milk
flow is not brought up to it's maxi
mum.
Checking Up Economy of Production.
When milking the fresh COW, the
dairyman continues to milk a little
longer than usual in order to stimu-
late the milk-secreting glands to pro-
duce more milk. This is simply an
imitation of the calf's efforts to sat
isfy it's appetite and results in main
tanning the flow of milk over a rela-
lively long period.
After the COW has reached her
maximum economical production a
pound or two of grain can sometimes
be taken away gradually without the
cows decreasing her daily produc-
ton. If the quantity of milk decreases
a portion of the grain taken away
should be replaced and this ration
fed as long as the cows milk flow
remains constant.
1t is the business of every dairy
man to find the maximum economi-
cal productive capacity of each cow
in his herd as she freshens. This is
done by the method described If it
is found that the maximum econo-
mical production of a fresh COW is
over so pounds daily, it will not be
difficult to keep her producing at a
rs or 80 pound clip for the next six
months or even longer. But it is
practically impossible to stimulate
her to maximum economical produc-
ton if she is allowed to produce
under her capacity during the first 80
days of the lactation period.

GUINEA FOWLS GOOD FOOD
SUBSTITUTE FOR GAME BIRDS

The value of the guinea fowl as n
substitute for game birds such as
grouse, partridge, quail, and pheasant,
lis becoming more and more recog-
nized by people fond of this class of
meat, and the demand for these fowls
is increasing steadily, United States
Department OF Agriculture specialists
report. Many hotels and restaurants
in the large cities are eager to secure
prime young guineas, and often they
are served at banquets and club din
ners as a special delcacy. When well
cooked. guineas are attractive in ap-
pearance, although darker than COM
mon fowls, and the flesh of the young
is tender and of especially fine flavor,
resembling that of wild game. Like
all other fowl, old guineas are likely
to be tough and rather dry.
A few large poultry raisers, par
ticularly those within easy reach Of
the large eastern markets, make a
practice of raising a hundred or so
guineas each year, but the great
majority Of guineas are raised in
small f1ocks Of from 10 to % upon
farms in the Middle West and in the
South. Many farmers keep a pair or
trio Of guineas more as a novelty
than for profit, and from these a small
flock is raised. The guinea fowl
doubtless would be more popular on
farms were it not for it's harsh and
at times seemingly never-ending cry.
However. some people consider this
cry an argument in the guinea's favor,
as it gives warning Of marauders in
he poultry yard.

HOW MUCH MUST AN ACRE

Is the per acre yield OF your farm
sufficiently high to make satisfactory
returns on the capital and labor ex-
pended in producing crops or it?
This is enc OF the Is questions that
the United States Department Of Agri-
culture urges every farmer to answer
for himself in determining whether
or not he is managing his farm eff
GENTLY. In number Of farm manage
ment studies in the South, on small
farms averaging 20 acres of crops
the department found under pre-war
conditions that an average yield Of
355 pounds of cotton an acre is re-
CURED to make an average farm in
come barely sufficient to pay fair
rental for the use Of the land and
give the operator ordinary wages for
his labor and management. Not until
the group of farms with an average
of 121 cropped acres was reached did
an average yield of less than 215
pounds Of cotton an acre make an
average farm income sufficient for
rent and the farmers wages. The in
fiuence OF yield on cost of production
was just as marked with corn and
other crops as with cotton.

SERIOUS ANIMAL AND HUMAN
DISEASES CARRIED BY DOGS

Many diseases of man and domestic
animals are carried by dogs. Every
body, of course, knows that the dog
is responsible for rabies but it is not
$50 generally known that the dog is
equally responsible for other fatal
diseases. Among them may be men
toned hydatid and gid in man and
stock, tapeworm in man and especially
in children, tongue worm in man and
stock. measles" in sheep, cysticerco-
sis of the liver in stock. Some of
these parasites depend so absolutely
on dogs as carriers that they would
become extinct if dogs were not avail
able as hosts. Dogs probably play
part, also, in the spread of disease
due to fungi, such as ringworm and
favus, and they certainly play a part
in the spread of disease that may be
carried by fleas and ticks.
The United States Department of
Agriculture, while recognizing the dog
as a useful domestic animal, insists
that care must be taken to minimize
the danger of disease spread by them.
in a general way, say the specialists
of the department, there are three
kinds of dogs-the ownerless dog,
the other persons dog, and your own
dog.
The stray dog which recognizes no
ewner. they say, does not fit into the
modern scheme of civilization and
must be eliminated. A dog that is
allowed by the owner to wander at
large will have substantially the same
habits of life, the same sort of food.
and be practically as dangerous as the
ownerless dog You have the right
to insist, they point out, that such
dogs keep off your premises.
Your own dog should be handled in
such way as best to further the well
fare Of the dog and the community.
He should be kept in restraint and
not allowed the full freedom of the
house or even of the outside premi-
SEES. He should not be allowed to be
familiar with people. and especially
with children. The dog should be
kept free from external parasites by
frequent baths and, if necessary. other
appropriate measures. and should be
freed from internal parasites by suit
able measures and kept free by ade-
quate attention. He should only be
allowed to leave the yard or the ken
nels in company with some person,
and wherever conditions call for it
should be kept in leash. When away
from home the dog should be muz-
lzled with a reliable metal muzzle, not
with strap muzzle that would be cruel
to the dog if tight enough to be effec-
tive and which is usually so loose
as merely to give false sense of
security, since it permits the dog to
bite.

STORE COTTON IN
 WAREHOUSES URGES
 BUREAU IF MARKETS

To bring the attention of cotton growers to the great advisability of storing cotton in warehouses rather than allowing t to lie in the field, thy United States bureau of markets has issued the following bulletin from it's offices in Dallas, Texas:
 "A series of experiments conducted recently by the bureau of markets have shown that a pale of cotton placed out in the open, flat on the ground, with no covering, was damaged to the ex- tent of 370 pounds at the end of eight months. Another bale, placed on edge, with no further attention. lost 167 pounds. A bale placed on timbers off the ground and turned once a week lost 49 pounds, and a bale placed on timbers and covered with a tarpaulin lost fl pounds. A warehoused bale of cotton during the same period lost only 1 pound.
 exposure to weather has been esti- mated at $70,000,000.
 Do you know that in many instances the total cost of warehousing cotton including insurance, is no greater than the fire insurance rate alone on ex- posed cotton? Do you know that it will 1 be much easier for you to obtain | loans from the bank on your cotton if you have it stored in a warehouse?"
 The bulletin then gives a tabulation of comparative costs in warehousing
 cotton and leaving it in the field. whicR shows that the final cost, reckoning losses, of keeping cotton in the field.
 are more than g times as great as the
 cost of placing the cotton in ware
 house.

PROPOSES MEETING
 ID DISCUSS VALLEY
 FARMING PROBLEMS

Believing that it is necessary at this time to get a concensus of the opinion of the citizens of the Salt River valley concerning the possibility of formulat- ing a general farming policy, Edmund F. Parker, vice president and general manager of the Southwest Cotton com pany, has sent a letter to Guy P. Nevitt of the chamber of commerce asking that organization to consider the fe&si- bility of the plan. Mr Parker suggests dinner or perhaps barbecue, during which those interested in the agricul- tural development of the valley could get together and discuss the problems of the future.
 The chamber of commerce has ap- pointed a. committee consisting of W. R. Elliott, Guy P. Hewitt and FW. Grif- fen to prepare suggestions for the board of directors of the chamber at the meet ing on Dec. 15-
 F. W. Griffin, chairman of the com mittee on farm activities of the cham Der of commerce has been ade chair man of this special comittee. The following extracts from MT. Par ker's letter contain the gist of his pro- posal:
 "As to the general farming policy. This is a matter which no person or any organization can formulate posi- lively and cause the community to adopt it. However, if one corporation owned this entire valley and was faced with the conditions which now prevail. it would be at this time calling its board of directors together in an attempt to formulate a procedure consistent with the present and the future. Tt is a question in my mind if some general direction cannot be given the evolution which this community must go through with. If such thing were possible it would be a great benefit to all of us. The objective is to get some general consensus of opinion into operation
 "Merely as one means to accomplish this, suggest that large banquet, to be held in the evening, or a barbecue, to be held in the afternoon, be fathered by the chamber of commerce or some other organization.
 When everything is going fine it is easy and great fun to gather round the festive board and praise ourselves and smile indulgently at our neighboI and wonder if he can possibly be malxins 2 as much money as we are. It is another thing to foregather when the clouds are above us or on the horizon, serious ly to consider where we are and whsrt we intend to go and keep our nerve and goodwill going there. All of us need guidance and encouragement at thi. time There is strength in mutual counsel and purpose.
 T suggest that you, as a director of the chamber of commerce, lay thi: matter before the board for considera.
 ton. If it should decide that the plar
 offer is feasible or desirable, you car
 assure the board of directors of th'
 hearty cooperation of this company"

 Alaska is one of the most gorgeous flower lands of all America. No no other part do wild flowers and the grasses grow in such wonderful beauty. profusion and abundance. and pay such tribute to the soil from which they spring and the climate that develops them.
