DAIRY
POINTS
Community Breeding for
Improvement of Herds

BY community breeding is generally
meant that number of breeders in O.
community own and use a pure bred
sire comparatively We read in the
Official Record, United States Depart
ment of Agriculture that rs per cent
of the dairy bulls in the United States
are either grade or scrub. AS long as
this condition exists any method by
which this high percentage Of grade
or scrub sires in service may be re-
duced is worthy of consideration. Com
munity breeding offers solution to a
limited extent at least.
To be successful the bull associa-
ton should be formed by very few
members, preferably not more than
five or six. This association should be
confined to small area, SO that the
driving distance would not be too
great.
The advantages of such an associa-
ton when it can be efficiently carried
out are many. 1t makes for a sys-
tematic and rapid improvement of cat
tie. Better bulls can be secured by
this method and it extends their use
fulness in lettering the cattle of the
community.
The difficulty is often in finding a
group of men who will work unselfish-
ly in harmony. Personal differences
should be set aside for the greatest
good for the community and the dairy
industry Competent leaders to act
as officers are sometimes hard to find.
There is also some danger of commune
eating disease, but if care is taken,
this objection need not be a weighty
one.
AS one dairyman recently said: |
Trouble with us, we are all trying |
to go alone" Cooperation is a good |
thing so we might take little trouble

francs ($7,6O0,000) have been amort-
lied, however, so the period has been

The deficit in 1921 amounted 20
72,O00,000 francs (s14,OOO,00O). The
council of fifty-five state functionar-
les, just reduced to fifteen, who man
age the railways, blame the deficit on
the effects of the war. The total de-
felt for 1914-1922 is 210,757 ,2S2 francs

rates in Switzerland are higher today
than ever before. The first class
passenger rate is 16.5 Swiss centimes

CLEANING THE HEARTH

Did you ever hesitate to light fire
in your fireplace and continued to go
about shivering because you dreaded
the chore of cleaning it out after
ward? A little ingenuity and your
electric vacuum cleaner will reduce
this work to such an extent that the
joy of the cheerful blaze will not be
out-weighed by the dusty, disagree
able task that must otherwise follow.
When you first start to remove the
ashes put the scuttle or pail to De
used right into the fireplace itself, as
near the back as possible. Shovel all
the embers and ashes you can direct
will carry the greater portion of the
dust directly up the fue.
Having cleared up all debris you
can in his manner bring out the va
CUM cleaner. Attach the flexible
hose, slip the radiator tool in the
other end and turn on the electric
current. The cleaner will suck up
the remaining dirt left in the fire
place. This done, you may find that
a few particles too large to pass thru
the slit-like opening of the radiator
tool are left behind, but, as all the
fine ashes are gone, you can brush
up these bits without precipitating -
cloud of dust. By working in this
way, when the job is over, you are
not faced with the urgent need Of
giving the mantle, woodwork, and
furniture thorough busting. So
your vacuum cleaner and a little
scheming have saved you consider
able work which could not be avoided

TESTS SHOW VALUE OF
FARM PRODUCED FEEDS

Agricultural College NewsNotes:-
Feeders Day at Fort Collins brot
several hundred farmers to the Agri-
cultural College to receive reports on
the beef fattening tests and to inspect
the six lots of steers with which the
experiment was conducted. These
steers were shipped to Denver June
4.h for slaughter. A final report will
be issued, based on market returns.
The preliminary report is based on
appraisals made in the feed lot juno
lst. Farmers interested may have
complete report by writing to F.. ].
Maynard, Animal Investigation Sec
ton. State Experiment station, Fort
Collins, Colo. This years work was
with yearlings. The objects We're:
To compare rations containing sun
flower silage with a standard beet by
product combination.
To find the value of molasses fed
in q sunfower silage ration.
To determine the value of cotton
seed cake in a sunfower silage ration.
To compare barley and dried mo-
lasses pulp.
To compare corn silage and sun
flower silage.
Sixty-six grade Hereford steers
were purchased in May 1922 They
were put on the college foothill
range May 10, weighing 1876 pounds
per head On October 18th they
were taken off the range weighing
6SS pounds. They were carried on
beet tops and beet top silage until
November 25th, when they were di-
vided into six equal pens of ten steers
each and started on the present test.
The rations fed were as follows:
Lot WET beet pulp, beet molas-
ses, cottonseed cake, alfalfa
Lot 2-Sunfower silage, barley,
beet molasses, alfalfa
Lot 3-Sunfiower silage, barley,
alfalfa.
Lot 4-Sunfiower silage, barley,
cottonseed cake, alfalfa.
Lot 5-Sunfiower silage, dried mo-
lasses pulp, cottonseed cake, alfalfa
Lot Corn silage, dried molasses,
pulp, cottonseed cake, alfalfa.
The maximum feed of molasses
was six pounds. Molasses was fed
spread over the grain and pulp.
Com silage fed during the first
half of the test was Of poor quality.
That fed during the last rs days was
very good.
Sunfiower silage at the station was
made from sunfowers yielding 17.2
tons per acre. The plants developed
branching heads and were conse-
quently harvested at an earlier stage
Of development than last year. The

SWEET CLOVER MAKES IDEAL
PASTURE FOR MILK STOCK

MnutroSe Press
John NJ. Bell, ,~ho is one of the
dairy enthusiasts Of the valley. says
that there should be more sweet Glow
or grown. particularly for pasture.
He says that his experience has
shown that milk cows can be pastur-
ed on sweet clover without danger
OF bloat and that it makes very
fine feed. Cows on sweet clover pas
turc will produce an unusual flow of
MIX. Sweet clover pastures VIII
maintain more stock than any other
kind Of pasture to the acre. Ii is al
so good for hogs and sheep.
Mr.. Bell has had experience in cut
ting il for hay and says it is equal
to alfalfa. He has been reading the
experience of others with sweet clover
especially in Iowa and Kansas, and
finds that this once despised weed is
Il real forage and feed crop and an
enricher of the soil
With the climate we have here, the
alfalfa hay, the corn silage and sweet
clover pasture, the Uncompahgre val
ley is destined to be a great dairy
center.

BLACK CANYON OIL co.
CONTESTED BY STATE

Delta Independent
1t is reported that the application
upon the part of the Black Canon Oil
and Gas Co. for 4 patent on their
property near the state bridge, has
been contested by the state. If this
be true, the company has very little
left, If anything. The rig and casing,
il will be remembered, were shipped
to Texas couple of years ago. A
very fattering offer was made TO the
local company by oil enthusiasts at
Bridgeport, Texas. Developments In
that field have turned out to be al
most worthless. The time on all
leases, it is said, have expired, and
with the contest instituted by the
State on the "gas" well here, it leaves
nothing Of value to the stockholders.

CAREFUL MANAGEMENT
NEEDED IN BUILDING
UP A BEEF HERD

Agricultural College News-Notes:-.
1t takes good feeding, careful man
agement and considerable patience to
build up herd. Good food alone
cannot do much if feed and care are
neglected. When handling registered
cattle, the calves must be properly re-
corded and marked SO that the pedi-
grees may be correctly certified. It
means considerable loss to sell pure
bred as a grade because it has lost
its identity or its breeding is not
nown.
Culling is highly important. A
breeder should not be afraid to sell
inferior animals for beef. Culls APP
pear in te best herds. Wedding out
is a necessary part of the breeding
business. A scrub purebred is a bad
advertisement for the seller, as well
as an injury to the buyer. A salts
fed customer is likely to be per-
manent customer, while buyer who
feels he has been loaded up with UNI
satisfactory stock can spoil a good
deal of business for the breeder.
After breeder gets to the point
where he has a well-selected herd of
purebred cattle, a well-merited repu-
tation and a number of satisfied buy
ers to advertise his stock, he can
be assured Of good income. He will
have the additional satisfaction Of
knowing that he has q real part in
the building Of one of the states
greatest industries.

3-Sunaower silage materially re
duees cost of gains when fed with
barley and alfalfa, but is not neces-
sary IL molasses can be secured and
led at present prices.
4-Sunilower silage made from
plants ensiled at an earlier stage of
development than in former tests
proved much more palatable than the
siiage from mature plants.
Each ton of beet molasses add
ed to a sunfiower silage, barley and
alfalfa ration replaced 2546 pounds
of silage, SSl pounds of barley and
s9i pounds of alfalfa.
"a comparison of barley and
dried molasses pulp in sunflower
silage combination shows 466.7 lbs.
of barley equal to 50s.9 lbs of dried
molasses pulp.
IA ration of corn silage, dried
molasses pulp, cottonseed cake and
alfalfa has proven very efficient in
putting on gains. These feeds nick
well together. When suniiower sill
age was used TO replace the corn sill
age in this ration, the feeds did not
nick as well and lower value is
shown for the sunfower silage than
is justified
S-Results secured in this test with
with sunflowers ensiled at an early

FITTING CATTLE FOR SHOW
REQUIRES CAREFUL WORK

Agricultural College News-Notes:-
Fitting cattle for show means the
preparation Of an animal to appear
at its best. With the meat producing
animals, fattening is the most i'm
portant part of fitting, but the fat
must be firm and evenly laid on. This
holds true of breeding animals as
well as market stock. While the
breeding animals may never go d.
rectly to the block, its value depends
