Hollanders Breed Cows
for Higher Production

weed, feed and breed should be
the slogan of every dairyman who has
an eye to the future Weed out the
poor producer, feed we'll according to
the amount Of milk produced, and
breed only to good, pure bred sires
whose dams have records of better
than 400 pounds of butterfat. If you
follow these suggestions, your herds
average yield will be doubled, and
more than doubled, in few years.
In the United States 1000 pounds
of milk containing 100 pounds of but
terfat is the production of the average
cow. In Holland the average is Just
about double that figure Why? Mere
ly because the Hollanders have for
many years fed and bred their cattle
for high production,
A study of the records of more than
$4,000 contrasting associations in this
country reveals two significant facts:
First, in all cases tire high-producing
groups were the most profitable they
returned the greatest income over cost
Of feed. Second, the highest producers
We're also the groups that produced
milk and butterfat most economically
that is, they showed the lowest feed
cost pound of butterfat or to the
100 pounds of milk.

Overcrowding Is One of
Most Common Mistakes

Overcrowding is one of the most
common mistakes made in growing
chickens. Overcrowding of the baby
chicks usually corrects itself by the
simple method of the chicks dying
from day to day until the number that
can be accommodated with air is left.
Any condition that depletes the vital
ity of the chick is apt to bring on a
looseness of the bowels.
All cases of diarrhea are not the in
fectious white diarrhea many of them
could have been prevented by provid-
ing more room for the chicks; the
diarrhea is merely an evidence of over
crowding
When the young stock have reached
the sex-conscious age, the sexes should
be separated Separation of the sexes
promotes the growth of each.

FARM !
POULTRY
MUCH TURKEY LOSS
DUE TO BLACKHEAD

A large part of the turkey losses
seem to be due to blackhead. Various
medicines have been recommended for
this disease and recently the ipecac
treatment has received great deal OF
publicity in hopes that it might be the
long-sought-for cure.
Up to the present time l can locate
no cases in our section where the
ipecac treatment has given results
sufficiently good enough to prove that
it is definitely beneficial. says writer
in the Indiana Farmers Guide. This
being the case, | feel that turkey
breeders must still rely on the old
methods of preventing disease and not
depend upon medicines. Inbreeding
must be avoided as it often results In
weak poults which are subject to a
disease like blackhead Breeding from
mature stock seems to produce more
resistant poults than those from
young breeding stock.
Turkeys that range with farm poul-
try of all kinds seem more apt to have
blackhead as they are often scratch
ing in the dirt of the other birds.
Plenty Of sour milk in the turkey ra-
ton seems to help the poufts to resist
blackhead. The sour milk is not
cure but it does stimulate rapid,
vigorous growth and this in turn helps
to keep down digestive disorders which
might weaken the poults and maSe
them subject to blackhead.
1t is difficult to raise poults on land
where hlackhead has been prevalent
and some breeders have cleaned up
their premises by ceasing to raise tur-
keys for year or two. Then they OBJ
tain clean breeding stock and have
better success. At present there are
many farmers who might have good
success with turkeys because none OF
the birds have ranged on their farm
for five or ten years or more and the
soil is probably entirely free from the
disease.

FEEDING DAIRY COWS
FOR PRODUCING MILK

COW weighing 1000 pounds needs
each day, for the maintenance of her
body, an amount of food equivalent
to that supplied In pounds of clover
hay and 20 pounds of good corn silage
She must have this food regardless of
whether or not she produces any milk
Food used for milk production must
be in addition to that required to keep
the cows body.
A 1-000pound COW producing 20
pounds of per cent milk a day, if
properly fed, devotes about half of
her feed to maintenance and half to
milk production. Obviously when a
dairyman has gone to the expense of
supplying that half of the food re-
CURED for maintaining the cows body,
1t is poor economy to withhold any of
the other half, all of which goes to
produce milk A cow then requires
feed in accordance to the amount Of
milk she is able to produce. The
heavy producer needs the most feed.
Farm-grown roughages (silage, hay,
~tN'J ldiillcll LliC NllCdlJCoL lOOQ nulIl-
ents. However, a good dairy COW can
not eat enough roughage to supply her
needs for milk production She must
have some grain. Therefore, to feed
with the most economy the following
rules must be observed,' says the Uni
versity of Missouri college of agricul-
ture:
l. Feed all the roughage COW will
eat. She will eat more if fed three
times day instead of twice.
2. Feed grain in proportion to the
pounds of milk produced.
To a Jersey or Guernsey COW feed
l pound of grain for each 3 to 31s
pounds of milk produced.
To a Hostein, Ayrshire or Short
horn feed i pound of grain for each
4 to Az pounds of milk produced.

Sudan Grass Makes Good
Supplemental Pasture,

In the handling of a herd of good
milk cows, 1t seems to be imperative
that farmers generally make provision
for having supplemental pastures for
their cows along in July and August
when normally the native pastures
give mighty little good feed. Probably
the outstanding annual feed crop
which we have for that purpose is
sudan grass and the planting of that
crop on thousands of acres simply for
the pasture 1t would give when the
other pastures We're at best inferior
would mean normally higher return
an acre than now is obtained.
Pastures provide cheap milk be-
cause pasture is cheap feed and
gives an excellent yield of milk. Plan
to put in few acres of sudan grass
to use for pasturing your milk cows
along next summer. The return will
he higher an acre than if handled in
any other way.

Profit Made in Guinea
Broilers and Roasters

The guinea hen is a good layer, but
on account of the wild gamey flavor,
the eggs have never had an extensive
sale for table use. However, to turn
these eggs into young broilers or
roasters, a considerable profit will be
derived. The flesh is the nearest sub
stitute we have for the wild game
The guinea is of rowing DISPOSE
ton, and one of the best known de-
stroyers of insects.
The laying season starts in early
April and continues until October, the
hen laying as many as 100 eggs in
season. In the early part Of the
season it is not advisable to let the
guinea hen hatch a brood as she is
of too restless a nature, and will not
give her young the proper attention.
But after the first of July, on account
of the warm weather, she will be more
quiet, and she can be safely entrusted
with a brood.
It requires four weeks to hatch out
guineas. The hen always hides her
nest, and that, too, in some obscure
place AS they come off the nest they
give a shrill cry, and in this way their
hiding place can be detected. All the
hens Of a flock are apt to lay in one
nest, and in taking away these eggs
they should not be touched with the
hands, for if the hen discovers that the
nest has been touched she will dAert
1t and hunt another place. But if the
eggs are removed with a stick she
will not leave the nest, even if the
eggs are taken out nearly every day.

BURIED TREASURE

Divers are at work off Ostend in
an effort to locate the German tor
pedo-boat Tubantia. The Tubantia
is supposed to have been laden with
1o00000O0 marks, or rs million dol
lars in gold destined for propaganda
in the United States and Canada.
1t is around the loss of this trea-
sure ship that Claude Farrere wrote
his Hundred Millions of Gold" He
changed the name of the boat to the
Tubelgaria.
Everyone may find in himself bur-
led treasures, and, if we were as am
xious to discover our own resources
as we are external resources, we
should find ourselves richer in hap
piness.

JUDGE lands WILL CLEAN UP

The baseball public, and that means
the American public, knows that
Judge Kenesaw Mountain Lands,
high commissioner or baseball, means
what he says when he declares that
he will not rest until he has run down
every bypath of suspicion connected
with this baseball scandal.
Now is the time for all people with
knowledge of crookedness in profess
ional ball to come forward. Now is
the time to clean house and give the
people certainty that house has
been cleaned. There is no place for
bribe-giving or bribe-taking or quit
tiers or slackers in baseball
Its moral cleanness has been very
positive influence in our national life.
What is more inspiring than to par
ticipate in these daily spectacles of
hard, fair play in the ball parks of a
hundred American cities? They
teach the qualities that make men
better men.
Boys idolize the great players and
dream of growing up to be like them
some day. Their is nothing more
pathetic than the story of the news
boy who sat weeping on the court
house steps in Chicago and pleaded
with his hero, one of the indicted
White Sox players, in 1919: "Tell me
it amt so; oh, tell me it amt So"
1t is question whether the misdo-
ings of Fall, Doheny and Forbes did
the country more spiritual harm than
the bribe-offerings of Dolan and o.
Cornell.
No one knows better than Judge
Lands how much is bound up with
the integrity of the national game.
He has great responsibility and q
great opportunity to clean UP in a
way that will draw deadline for the
baseball underworld for a generation
to come.-Ex.

A few breeders say they have good
results with wet feeds for baby chicks.
Since many breeders tail with this

Clean dry grains after the rolled oats
becomes offensive to the chicks is the

tant in the feeding rations of baby
chicks.
