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-
ponds 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 30 per
cent, half ton of ice to each COW Is
sufficient to cool the cream and hold
it at low temperature for delivery
two or three times week. Suitable
cooling tanks. however. are necessary
under this estimate.
The haif-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 IN tons per COW in the
North. To meet the needs Of the aver.

quently it is asserted that purebred

light on this question the United

as a part Of the program Of work OF
the farm bureau, which believes In
purebreds as contributing factor in
farm prosperity.
According to data furnished the de-

farm bureau, the survey revealed the
fact that only about so per cent of
the sires used In the dairy herds of
the county are purebred. The re-
mainder are either grades or scrubs.
About 20 per cent of the cows list
ed are purebreds. These animals are
for the most part scattered through
large number of herds, showing that
the average dairyman is working into
purebreds as fast as financial condi-
lions will permit.

A Deserted orchard Farm IN the
Northwest-The Owner Failed Be-
cause Of Poor Soil and Lack Of
irrigation,
important to consider various features
that may have decided bearing on
the farm business or that may make
the home life attractive.
Home and Business inseparahle.
The home side Of the question must
always be kept In mind, for the farm
home and the farm business are In
Separabie, The desirable farm from
business standpoint many times Is
found undesirable If it has no social
or community advantages. On the
other hand, desirable living conditions
are of little or no advantage unless
supplemented by a successful farm
business.
In selecting a farm 1t should be
borne In mind that 1t requires farm
business of considerable size to pro-
vide an income that will merely cover
maintenance charges, and that these
charges are relatively larger for small
farms than for large ones. A farm
must be of such a size as to furnish
most Of the supplies needed In the
farmers living, such as garden ana
fruit. and enough income to pay the
taxes and running expenses. Unless
however, there is a margin above these
annual maintenance charges no prog
ress can be made toward accumulat-
ing surplus.
Another feature which the farm
seeker should see to Is that prospects
for crop yields are more than sufficient
to balance the cost of production.
Soils of low fertility are handicapped
some are found to be positive liability
II 1t is necessary to farm them. 1t Is
well to inquire thoroughly into crop
Yields, not only those that have been
obtained on the farm Itself for period
of years but those realized on adjacent
farms. f
Equally essential to the success Of
the farm business is high quality of
the live stock enterprise. To handle
live stock so 1t will pay for feed, care.

REQUIREMENTS or 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
Z, 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 narrowed pig presents more
or less special problem; and the
later in the fall he Is narrowed the
more complex the problem.

OF breeding. In mating for females
of standard color, females of about the
desired color are used with medium
light male or one that is two or three
shades lighter than standard and with
good barring. This is known as the
pullet mating, because 1t produces a
greater percentage of females Of the
proper color, while the males are too
light but good for carrying on this line
of breeding.
