PROTECT LIVE STOCK OWNER
Federal inspectors Keep Close Watch
to Prevent Entry of Foot and
Mouth Disease.

The live stock producers of the Unit
ed States are protected against the
dangers of various plaques of domes-
tic animals existent in other countries
by quarantine regulations enforced by
representatives Of the bureau of animal
industry. Never in our history has this
country been so menaced by foot and
mouth disease as in the last few years.
It has existed in European, Asiatic and
South American countries and still ex-
lists in many Of them, but our inspec-
tors keep a close watch and hope to
prevent another entry. Other serious
diseases of domestic animals that have
been kept out are contagious pleuro-
pneumonia, rinderpest, surra, and NAL
ia fever.

sity of Wisconsin.
No matter what trials beset agricul-
ture, dairying is and will always con-
tinue to be one of it's profitable and
it's most secure ventures.
The reasons are not far to seek.
Ever since the days of primitive man
the human race has used large pro
portions of animal food.
Will our business be taken away
from us by other states? The answer
to this question is at once apparent.
Wisconsin is In the business-the lead
ing state in the dairy business. VIII
the automobile center of the world
ever be moved from Detroit? Or the
packing business from Chicago? Or
the raisin industry from California?
Not likely. There are good and suffi-
cient reasons why these industries
thrive where they do. Natural adj
vantages placed them there, and
natural advantages are likely to keep
them there. So with dairying in Wis
persists, it will persist in Wisconsin.
True, we will have competition from
other states, but our only real COM
petitors will be the states OF the upper
Mississippi valley. The factors OF
climate, rainfall, pasturage, water,
investment, leadership and population
all combine to make and keep Wis
consin "the leading dairy state"
Changes Will Come.
But this is not saying that Wiscon-
sin can rest content on it's laurels
already won and secure in the bel1ef
that dairying here is so firmly in
trenched that she does not need to
change or move on. She must, or
other less favored regions, by apply
ing more Qp-to-date methods, may yet
outstrip her.
For example, take the cheese indus
try. We are still making the same
kind Of cheese, putting it up in the
same package and selling it through
the same machinery that was used 40
wears ago. This is not true in any
other line of modern industry. Wis
consin dairymen must wake up to the
fact that the world moves on.
We must find new ways to use milk
and cream and dairy products. We
must put them up in handy packages
make them so attractive that the con-
sinner cannot turn aWay-and so sat
'isfying to the taste that he wants more.
In other words, we must put better
quality into our dairy products-a
ouality which is better than the quail
ity put into them by any of our com
netitors. Then we must find a name
for that quality so that the consumer
will know exactly what to call for, and
mt if in a package so handy and so
attractive that it is easy for him to
carry it away.
When we have done all this we must
toll the world about tin other words,
advertise. Advertise from the house
TONS in giant electric signs; from the
crossroads on billboards; from the
reading table in newspapers and mag
azines, and from the show window in
attractive displays.
Must Give Service.
But all this may be of no avail if
not backed by an organization that can
insure the production of this same

GOOD ROADS HELP PHYSICIAN
Accompanying Development of Auto
mobile Has Greatly Increased
His Efficiency

The building Of good roads with the
accompanying development of the au-
tomobile, has greatly increased the eff
cheney of the practicing physician. Be
fore the motor reached it's present
state of development, physicians were
compelled to make their calls on foot,
on street cars, or by carriage, in cities,
and on horseback or by carriage in the
country. AS a result, the physician
was limited in his practice, and the
community or portion of it, at least,
was denied the medical and surgical
relief necessary to the highest pos
sibIe degree OF health. Lives frequent
" paid the penalty, and unnecessary
suffering was always the result.

OTHER STATES ARE BIG COMPETITORS

quality, product in sufficient quantity
to meet the demand today, tomorrow,
the next day and every other day in
the year.
The only danger to the dairy bust
ness in Wisconsin is from the dairy
interests in Wisconsin which refuse to
move on, which refuse to adopt modern
methods of Standardization, naming,
advertising and organization necessary
to efficiency in modern business and
which by this neglect let our leader
ship as a dairy state, attained by much
care and patient effort, pass to another
state in the immediate vicinity.

cited where every plant on portions
of a cranberry bog in Massachusetts
was killed. ALI the roots were de-
stroyed. New vines were planted, and
almost Immediately numbers of robins
were seen at work there. They dug
into the sand with their beaks and
pulled out the grubs. Some OF the
roots Of the vines were cut off by the
grubs, and these vines the robins
pulled up and discarded, and dug out
the grubs. The robins worked so
diligently that practically no grubs
escaped and nearly all the vines sur
vived.

FIND INBREEDING WEAKENING
Department of Agriculture Conducts
Interesting Experiments With
Guinea Pigs.

In the past Is years the United
States Department of Agriculture has
conducted breeding experiments in
which $4,000 guinea pigs were used.
AS a result of this work it has been
found that inbreeding wealens the
animals in many respects and that by
crossing the inbred families there is
rapid improvement, some of the i'm
provements be lg at the maximum in
the first generation. The crossbred
animals resulting were even better than
the random-bred families that were
used as checks on the inbred families.

EXPERIMENTS ON DRY cow
Lime and Phosphorus Have Much
to Do With Milk Production
and Unborn Calf.

The United States Department of
Agriculture has made some expert
ments with regard to the~feeding of
dry COW. Lime and phosphorus have
much to do with the milk production
and building up of the body Of the
unborn calf. For that reason it is d
good practice to feed the cows well
when they are dry and at the end of
their lactation period in order that
they may store up these valuable &ele-
ments for use when the large demand
of the lactation period Is made.

DIFFERENT BREEDS OF BUCKS
Pekin Is Probably Most Profitable fee
Meat While Runner is Superior
as Egg Layer.

Like hens, ducks are divided into
meat producing and egg producing
breeds. The Pekin is the most pOpu-
lar and probably the most profitable
of the large breeds, though the Ayles-
bury and Cayuga are also profitable
meat producers. The Runner is the
layer of the duck family, and is also
an excellent table bird, though smaller
than the other standard breeds. Like
turkeys, there is a strain of wild blood
in some of the best breeds.

USE CHOICE BREEDING FOWLS
Some Farmers Still Pursue old-Fash-
Toned Policy of Using Eggs
From Whole Flock,

Too many farmers still pursue the
policy Of breeding from
the whole flock of poultry. It is far
better to have just one or two small
mems of your choicest fowls from which
TO set eggs and hatch chicks. Thus

MANURE USED TO
INCREASE CROPS
Addition of Acid Phosphate viii
Make Almost FourfoId Re-
turn in Yields.
DEFICIENCY IN PHOSPHORUS
Necessary to Supplement Fertilizer
With Lacking Element - Best
Methods of Handling Cannot
Correct Lacking Material.

Banyard manure is used by most
successful farmers as an economical
means of increasing crop yields and
maintaining soil fertility. But the
composition of barnyard manure as
related to soil building and permanent
agriculture ia not so generally known.
To get tbs largest returns from
manure it IS necessary to supplement
it with the element in which it is de-
ficient
Composition of Manure.
A son of average barnyard manure
conta.ns ten pounds Of nitrogen. two
pounds of phosphorus, and eight
poUdds of potassium, according to l..
f. Wainscott, assistant in the soils
department of the Missouri College
of agriculture. Comparing this COM
position with a standard commercial
fertilizer such as 2-12-2, one can see
that manure is relatively deficient IN
the element of phosphorus. This ele-
ment has been sold in the grain or
retained by the animal body and is
not found in the manure in such large
quantities as the nitrogen and potas-
SUM.
To Correct Deficiency.
Although many factors influence the
composition of barnyard manure, even
the best methods of handling cannot
correct this deficiency. Only one
method of supplying the deficiency is
known, and that is to reinforce the
manure with mineral phosphate.
Many soils are deficient in phos-
phorus. On many Of them phosphorus
Is thought to be the limiting element.

Medium WEIGHT Hens Best.

Medium weight hens of any breed
are, as a rule, the most profitable. Of
the American breeds the hen weighing
between four and five pounds will
bring the largest net profit. The
heavy, fat hen is invariably a poor
egg producer and the light, thin hen
is a poor seller on the market.

CHARCOAL GOOD PREVENTIVE
Value Can Hardly Be over-Empha-
sized and Should Be Fed to
Fowls of All Ages.

The value Of charcoal can scarcely
be over emphasized and it should be
fed to fowls Of all ages as preventive
of bowel discords and disease. 1t is
best to keep it before the fowls at all
times, as there is no danger of them
eating too much. Charcoal has a great
purifying effect in absorbing noxious
gases and will correct many digestive
discords.

If farmers and ordinary poultry
raisers would give half the time and
attention to cleaning their poultry
houses. and premises that they do to
doctoring the sick chickens with quack
nostrums, the chances are ten to one
that they would have very few sick
ones to doctor.

manure, a well-baIanced fertilizer
may be had at the least cost.
Results from the Missouri expert
