INCREASING THE EFFICIENCY IF
 THE DAIRY HERD
Local Authority Gives Views On How to Be Successful In Making More and Bet ter Herds

We hear much these days of "effl- ciencv:" we hear it applied to auto mobiles to engines and other Hid- = chinery. We learn of men ana women who in the race for supremacy In thls strenuous age of ours are said to De working for greater "efficiency Weo- ster defines efficiency as the power of producing the effect intended
 And so in considering the matter of more profit in our dairy business it is natural that We should LOOK upon the subject in the light of increasing the efficiency of our herds Ihls Is |. broad subject and one that has many branches. but as the COW is the pasis of the dairy business, IL IS the most frnportant thing to be considered IL should be obvious that good COW IS worth a great deal more than poor one but a knowledge of the conditions that exist in many parts of the soutn- <esr leads us sometimes to wonder IT the dairymen have ever fully con- sidered the difference between a good COW and a poor one.
 Ii costs very little more to keep a good COW than a poor one. it takes inst a little more time to milk COW that gives a good lot of milk than 1t does one that gives but little, provided they are both fair milkers- In the run of q year 1t takes some more time for Inc good cow than for the poor one, for c fo twelve months, and the poor one from five to six months possibly. It takes q little more time to handle the nroduct. too, of the COW that produces most and again it takes a little more time to spend the money that the good cow earns but most of us are willing to take that time without grumollng.
 Now. how are We going to get the good cows? Well, there are two ways Of arriving at that result-one IS to buv them and the other is to raise them The first method requires con- siderable money, and the other con7 siderab time. Tn either. case man should have some idea of the type Of the dairy COW; he should form in his mind an ideal of what a good dairy COW should be. It is hardly possible in an article of this kind to take up fhe subject of the dairy form in suffi- cient detail to be of special service 10 the man who is not informed on the subject In fact, the only way 10 learn the true dairy type is by com harrison. and the simplest way IS to study- first. the outline characteristics of a COW that is known to be pro- d,Icer and then compare her with a true beef animal. It will be seen that tbev are so much different that 1t IS almost impossible to believe that they both belong to the bovine race. vet II is possible that they both originally sprIsng from the same ancestor. but centuries of breeding for specific pur-
 r,oseS have changed their characteris

tics till they are as unlike as ahlnais of the same race can be-
 As a general rule, the farther from the beef type, the better the COW, though that is a rule that mlght nave many exceptions, and occasionally we find cows that have every indication of being true dairy types and yet are poor cows. The exceptions to thls rule. however, are so few that IL need not discourage one to try to learn 1he characteristics of the type
 The Breed: There is much more variation among individuals of the different breeds than there is between the breeds as a whole
 In point of numbers, the Holsteln- F'resian cows are most popular Tn the irrigated valleys of the southwest. There is said to be a better demand for black and white cows to snip out of the country and especially into oid Mexico. and this accounts partly for their popularity. It is true also that the Holstein does particularly well here. but it is also true that other breeds do we'll when given the atteh- ton that they should have, so that in selecting d herd man need not be bound to confine himself to any one breed but should first become as good a judge of dairy cows as possible and then select those that conform most closely to his ideal.
 In buying a cow 1t is well to figure q little A COW in this country must produce close to 300 pounds of butter fo nav the cost of her keep, and pay d fair profit, so that COW that pro- duces 200 pounds of butter in a year is a losing proposition. and would be high priced at say $40, while the 300 pound COW would be a good invest ment at S100; but supposing that the COW produces $50 pounds of butter in
 Int. fe the same, while her product at an average price of BOG is $15 more than the other. Such a COW would be cheap at $125.
 It is hard for us to realize unless we apply a little arithmetic, the diff ference in the value between the good COW and the poor one, or to express it another way. the earning capacity of the good cow No matter how little money we may have to spend for a herd. no man can afford the luxury C. keeping poor cows.

ARKANSAS BANKS
 HELP DA|RYMEN N

Down in Arkansas--dont laugh, Arkansas is rapidly becoming one of the great prosperous states-a banker has become so commendabiy enthus- iastic about dairying that he is adver- tising that his bank will help populate the territory of their patrons with good cows.
 As compared with sending one of their customers a calendar every year the work of the Merchants National Bank of Fort Smith stands out as monument of endeavor.
 This bank is not merely courting the good will of the farmers; it is attempt ing to establish permanent prosperity in the community, knowing well that if there is wealth in the neighborhood even the banks will get part of it. A benefactor is one who builds for others and profits as q result. para site is thing that just sucks blood. There are benefactors and parasites among men and institutions as well as among insects.
 The Merchants National bank is benefactor. It is striving to build up the community and profit therefrom. All doubt as to the authenticity Of this statement will be expelled by read ing the following advertisemept that has appeared in the papers at Fort Smith:
 BUY A FAIRY COW

 We are anxious to assist in build ing up the farming and dairy busi ness of western Arkansas and eastern Oklahoma. We believe the way to do this is to increase the dairy business which is profitable in itself and which makes for bet ter farms.

 FIGHT ON TREATY
Conference Between Senate Leaders Unavailing So
 Far

Washington, Jan. 16.-Preliminary to the second conference tomorriw of the bipartisan committee of sen ate leaders discussing compromise of the peace treaty deadlock, Sena- tor Lodge of Massachusetts, repub- lican leader, and two of his col leagues, Senators Lenroot of Wis consin and Kellogg of Minnesota conferred late today regarding the proposals received from the demo- crats.
 There was less optimism expressed today either by the republican or democratic leaders for success of the present movement, although the "'round table" discussion are expect ed to continue some time.
 Because it is believed publicity might be harmful, those participat- ing in the conferences were chary today of public discussion. In private conversations, however spokesmen of both factions said tHCie oCiIl was q Wlue gull 10 pc preached, Leading the obstacles is the reservation affecting article x of the league of nations covenant and on this, it was stated reliably neither republicans nor democrats were showing much disposition to- ward agreement.
 In addition to the conference to- day between Senator Lodge and the two mild reservations" republicans who are on the informal republican committee, the republican leader saw Senator Borah, republican, of Idaho one of the leading foes of the treaty MT. Borah and Senator Johnson, re- publican, California, another treaty opponent, also conferred on the treaty situation.
 On the democratic side numerous conferences also were held with Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, the administration leader, Senators Mo Kellar of Tennessee, Kendrick of Wyoming, Simmons of North Caro- lima and several others as partici- pants. Several of the "mild reser- vation" republicans also held a meet ing, but in this case as in others developments awaited tomorrow's session of the bipartisan committee
