DAIRY FARMS IF ] WARP SIZE

1 losses by accident or injury. A factor Of great interest to the average farmer who is up against the hired help prob lom is that Mr. Randolph is able 10 operate his farm with one hired man. lis hoy. who attends school nearby, ] helps with the milking, while most of the time of the hired man is occupied in caring for the dairy equipment and delivering the milk. As q side line to
 dairy farming, MT. Randolph raises and sells about $500 worth of asparagus q season, marketing the vegetables also
 with his milk customers and delivering 3
 the asparagus with the milk.
 Another feature of outstanding in
 terest is the fact that the Randolph
 corn fields produce about three times
 as much corn per acre Is do the gen
 eral run of Kansas grain fields. I@
 comes from the fact that all the fer
 tilizer produced by the 40 cows is de-
 voted to the replenishment of the fer
 tility resources of this Lilliputian dairy
 farm Several years ago before MT.
 Randolph adopted his present policy O. buying alfalfa hay. one-half of the farm was cropped to alfalfa and the
 subsequent turning under of the rItn. alfaifs sods has added measurably to the soils plant food stocks. The cows have paid for modern dairy barn 50 ty 9 feet which stalls A cows and is equipped with all the modern con VenlcnceS Whlcn aDet the production or sanitary milk.

 John Grove, Frederick. Md. is an other dairyman who operates a midget dairy farm and annually banks about sS00n as the earned increment from his 55 acres. This Marylander rents 2e acres which he pastures and crops his U acres to corn, wheat, clover and alfalfa. He buys about two carloads of dairy feed a year and grows the re-

Dwarf dimension dairy farms are
 becoming popular because they mini nelze hired man power. they capitalize intensive farming systems. they favor the upbuilding of the soil and. to q
 certain extent. they reduce the druds
 cry and routine which make milk farming objectionable to many farm CTS There are now such a variety of dairy accessories and associated ap- pliances on the market which reduce hand labor and increase the efficiency or the little farm well titled. that many
 milk producers arc responding posi-
 tINeIy to the lure of the smaller acre ages. This is fruitful means of re-
 ducing the high cost of labor. bills as well as of increasing the net return from the cowcarryins activities.
 G. H. Randolph. Emporia. Kansas. is keeping 40 dairy cows on 10 acres of farming land and making money in the doing. His farm, situated on the edge ot Q city Of 20.000. enables him to op- crate producing farm to supply q city milk route under nearly ideal condi- lions. Of course. one objection is that NIT. Randolph has to buy much Of his feed However, the adjoining land Is so valuable for building purposes that he can not afford to buy more of l. for farming purposes and the owners will not rent it, hence this Kansan has to make the most out Of what he has. Here is how he handles the proposi ton. He deVotes his home fields to corn production and annually buys about 75 to so tons of alfalfa hay stt approximately SIC q ton during normal 1;mes- He obtains his hay supply cheaper than he could raise it under the conditions that he farms.
 Furthermore, he purchases the bran. corn chop and cottonseed meal which he feeds. His Tom Thumb farm fur nishes the corn silage, as we'll as pas turage for the cows. The herd con sists of grade Holsteins and Short horns, as well as some pure bred ter seys and averages about coco pounds Of milk q, COW q year. The best Hol- stein produced 14.300 pounds of milk last year, while the twenty odd ter seys averaged over roo gallons an ami nal. Seventy 10 90 gallons of milk are marketed daily with 150 private fami ! lies and two hotels at an average price 1 of F to 13c quart, the amount pur- 1 chased governing the price, as this 1 dairyman practices the novel scheme of reducing the price one cent quart 1 where the families buy two or more 1 quarts of milk daily. He supplies the 1 hotels large quantities of milk at from | 2S to 40c a gallon.
 Despite the fact that Mir. Randolph | purchases the majority Of his feed. his | cows return him net income of S43 1 piece for the year, q total of S3,000 | let from his 40-coW herd and 40-acre farm These figures do not include | interest. depreciation. insurance and

chanical aid which helps out greatly in the chore and care work involved in handling the cows properly. The Grove farnl is growing more fertile and valu- able all the time as a result of con serving and returning to the fields all the manure as well as of producing 2 to 15- acres of alfalfa and about o acres of clover each year.
 The famous 'srunt'' dairy farm of the Illinois Agricultural college which con sisted of but 20 acres and which re- tUrned a gross income of over $50 an acre several years ago, when the price Of milk was much lower is also worthy of comment one. of the Tom Thumb milk farms which will go down in agri- cultural history. Although a 20-acre ! farm is not recommended as ideal, yet there is much to be said in it's favor and it, at least, illustrates what can be accomplished on the smaller acre ages.
 The farm in question was provided with q round dairy barn which was purported to minimize man labor in handling the, cows. No pasturage was provided, the cows being maintained in an exercise lot when not in the l stable. Twelve acres of alfalfa and 1 eight acres of corn were raised, the ! cows being fed on these two materials i except for the occasional use of some | cornmeal which was made from some !
 
 husked and ground. From 15 to Is | dairy cows were kept of the type which | is common throughout the milk-pro- | ducing sections of Illinois. One man | was able to produce the crops, handle | the livestock and market the milk on | this premier of dwarf dairy farms. The | income for the first two years the | farm was opera ted ranged from s75 to $50 an acre a year. while the expenses amounted 10 s45, leaving a net return nF fn tl.fe 1.<x.t farmer good pay for his labor in view Of wages which were paid at that period
 Practically all the corn was devoted 1 to ensiling purposes, there being a silo in the center of the round barn which facilitated feeding work. From 10 to 20 pounds of alfalfa hay and 40 to 55 pounds of corn silage were leu daily, according to the capacity and | production of the average Cow. None of the young stock was raised, market milk being the only cash crop sold. For a two-year period the income from the calves which were sold as soon as old enough to be removed from their dams was s3.90 acre.
 During two recent years the milking II herd has averaged 6,500 pounds of milk and 227 pounds of fat an animal On fl the basis of the current high prices for milk. the income from this farm would be much greater. particularly as the labor costs in it's operation would be very low. The farmer who has worked this Tom Thumb dairy farm says that he could do better if the tarm were about 90 acres in size, so that few more cows could be kept as well as a small number of hogs and a good sized flock of chickens. The place could also profitably support two to three-acre orchard which would fur nish another source of revenue when the trees came into bearing while the

raises and fattens from 20 to 30 hogs a year which he subsequently, butchers and sells to the retail trade in the town in the form of hams, bacon, sausage, fresh pork, scrapple and the like. When the milkman makes his rounds he takes pork product orders for delivery, the following day. In addition, on Sat urdays he furnishes his customers with dressed poultry on order. During the

Taggart Doesn't Want to
Run for Senator, But
Won't Disappoint "Boys"

WASHINGTON, March 2-Thomas
Taggart will not turn down" the
boys" If they insist on filing his name
in Democratic senatorial primary in
Indiana. He much prefers that some
other Democrat go after the toga of
James E. Watson, but If an unsolicited
denomination comes to him he will
not disappoint his friends and party.
Since candidacy for the United
States senate involves strenuous
campaign, he would be pleased should
younger man become the nominee,
but If his health holds out he will not
decline a nomination and will do his
best to lead the party to victory in
November.
II most certainly am not a candi-
date for any nomination and those
petitions have been circulated without
my consent. We have an abundance
Of senatorial material, and I would be
glad to support any of several Indi-
ana Democrats for the nomination"
said Mr.. aggart, at the Willard hotel.
But while Mr.. Taggart was talking
a message came to him from Indiana
polls that it is the intention Of "the
boys" to file petition Wednesday for
his name to go on the Democratic
! primary ballot, and that his name will
be the only one considered by Indiana
Democrats.
