ICE FOR DAIRY AND FAMILY
Amount Necessary Depends Greatly
on Number Of Cows MIXED and
Ways Of Handling.

The quantity Of ice needed for a
dairy farm with 10 or more cows de-
pends on its location, number Of COWS
MIXED, and methods of handling the
product. In the Northern States, the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture has found that, with moderately
good ice house, where the shrinkage
from melting is not more than 80 per
cent, half ton of ice to each COW is
sufficient to cool the cream and hold
it at q low temperature for delivery
two or three times a week. Suitable
cooling tanks, however, are necessary
under this estimate.
The half-ton-per-cow estimate for
ice to be stored allows for reasonable
waste and also for ordinary house
hold USE If whole milk is to be cooled
the quantity of ice stored must be In
creased to 11a tons per cow In the
North. To meet the needs of the aver
age family on general farm 1t will
be necessary to store about five tons.

How closely is the prosperity of a
community related to the proportion
of well-bred live stock in it? Fre-
quently it is asserted that purebred
and high-grade herds and flocks are
the result of wealth rather than the
cause Of it. In its effort to throw
light on this question the United

REQUIREMENTS OF FALL PIGS
May Be Considered as Much the Same
as for Animals Of Same Age at
Any Season.

The feed requirement of the fall pig
after weaving may be considered as
much the same as for pig of similar
age at any other season, according to
L. A. Weaver of the Missouri College
of Agriculture, since the young grow
ing animal Of any kind must have
plenty of protein and ash, the muscle
and bone building nutrients. The
feeds, however, which are available in
the fall and the weather conditions
are quite different, so that the care of
the fall farrowed pig presents more
or less a special problem; and the
later in the fall he is farrowed the
more complex the problem.
