would present his information in his
address Thursday night at Pittsburg,
The statement of Gov Cox was as
follows
Senator Harding denies my charg-
es about the campaign fund which
the senatorial oligarchy is raising. |
am prepared to believe that he knows
nothing about lot of things that are
going on around him. This reveals
the very dangerous symptom which |
have been discussing. In my Pitts

Senator Harding claims to be igno-

.wEEDIN', FEEDIN'. AND BREED

The folioaoing is from the last issue
of the Farm Bureau Meas.
A little poem by E. G. Bennett,
Missouri dairy commissioner, publish
ed recently in the farm press in three
words points out the pathway TO
more profitable dairy farming. In
these three words lie the sum and
substance of the volumes that have
been written and spoken concerning
the development of the dairy herd.
They are "Weedin', Feedin', and
Breedin'."
Too many Vermont cows are being
kept instead of keeping their owners.
In these days of high priced feed and
high priced labor ii is only too easy
TO pour money into hole through the
medium of an inferior dairy cow, and
the man who lets himself be tied
down to a herd of non-producers is
no less a slave than were the captlves
chained to the oars of the ancient
Roman gallery. The war against the
boarder cow is now on. The scales
and the Babcock test will tell the
story, and tell it in no uncertain
terms. How does your herd stand !!
But to remove the poor ones is not
In itself enough to insure the best
returns. The animals that are capa-
bic of returning pront must pc
wisely cared for if they are to fulfill
their possibilities. This means COM
Portable quarters, cleanliness, quiet
handling, an abundance of fresh
water, and especially, intelligent feed
ing.
A vast store of information on this
subject has been gathered together
and is available for the use of anyone
who wishes TO secure it. Are you
sure that the ration you are feeding
not only furnishes what your cow re-
ouires, but furnishes it in the most
economical manner? Are your good
cows getting the opportunity they de-
serve?
The wise man is not satisfied with
merely improving his present condi-
tions. He believes in building for the
/ future If the dairy interest is to
/ hold the position in which it belongs
it must stand squarely on a founda-
/ ton of good cows. If the stream is
I to be pure its source must be uncon-
taminated. and if our herds are to be
kept free from faint of the boarde1
cow the scrub bull must be banished
/ We can weed out the poor ones, but
/ the only way to get good ones to take
their places is TO breed that kind. Are
you using a producing sire?
