Badger Dairy Cow
Sells Year Round

Wisconsin is building a year-round
trade for dairy cattle
While records show that monthly
sales are larger during April, May and
June In the spring, and September,
October and November In the fall,
there Is continual call for cattle free
from disease and of high production.
In midsummer and during the holt
day season dropping off in shipments
is noted. In spite of rather extreme
cold weather during the month of jan
uary, which handicapped the assem-
bling and shipping Of stock, several
large shipments went out.
Maryland and California buyers
both took stock during the month.
Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska
and South Dakota, in the order named,
represent the five largest January
buyers. A total of 1,941 animals were
shipped from Wisconsin to various
states during the month.
According to A. O. Collentine, dairy
extension specialist Of the Wisconsin
SOllCSO VI ZASA1S01tuACp surveys VI Jul
of-state sales point to three great
agencies which are at work, namely,
the dealer, or COW Jockey; the individ-
ual farmer, and the representative of a
county, state, business. civic or farm
organization. In some states only one
of these agencies is responsible for
nearly all stock brought into the terri
tory. This is more particularly true
where stock is shipped greater dis
tances. Nearby states make their ship
ments through a combination Of agen-
cies.
It is early to speculate on the spring
demand for dairy cattle. Yet the bar
gain hunter is already here, and, like
the robin, the early bird gets the
worm, though he does often get caught
in blizzard or snowstorm. There are
spotted areas which were short of hay
last fall where few bargains await
the cautious buyer. Springin3 cows
and heifers are available now in nearly
every mans barn, more especially in
the cheese producing sections. In late
March and April these COWS will be
milking and will require more careful
handling where shipments are to dis,

Increase Milk Yield
by Using Pure BREEDS

prepared by the United States Department.
of Agriculture)
An increase of over 100000 gallons
in the annual milk production of New
Castle county, Delaware, without in
creasing the number of dairy cows
owned has followed five years dairy
Improvement work, in which the
county agent, progressive GARY farm
ers and agricultural organizations CO.
operated. This county is located near
large city, affording good market
for whole milk, and dairying Is an
important farm industry.
When extension work in dairying
was begun in New Castle county, many
farmers were in the habit of buying q
medium type Of grade COW without
guaranty of health. Following a
county meeting of dairymen in 1918,
four carloads Of pure bred cows from
herds under federal supervision for
tuberculosis control were brought In
and distributed as far as possible at
the rate Of one to farm, so that as
many farmers as possible might learn
for themselves whether or not the In
vestment paid. The boys and girls on
the farms became interested, were or
ganized into a club and pure bred
calf secured by each member. New
clubs have been organized each year
following, and exhibits of club MEM
bers' stock are feature Of district
shows and the state fair.
Club members have produced about
one-fifth of the present holdings Of
pure bred stock in the county. Pure
bred bulls and cows have been pur-
chased by many farmers, after the
movement was begun, on their own
initiative. There are now about 900
pure bred dairy cattle in the county,
while in 1915 there were only $50. A
carefully worked out ration Is fed.
Over 1900 dairy cattle in the county
are under federal supervision for tuber-
culosis control. Four annual consign-
ment sales of surplus stock have been
held, the 1923 sales totaling over
$1,000.

Kohl-Rabi One of Most
Rapid Growing Plants

Kohl-rabi, though little known as q
garden crop, is one Of the most quickly
grown vegetables. The plant, belong
ing to the cabbage tribe, thrives well
in any soil and is at its best under cool,
moist conditions. Part of the plant
used is the enlarged stem which forms
just above the ground. This, when
cooked as turnips, tastes similar to
cabbage, though somewhat milder in
flavor. In fact, the plant is often
called the lazy mans caulifower. The
crop should be used when bulbs are
not more than two inches in diameter;
that is, before they become f1brous and
woody. Succession paintings made
from May until July will furnish young,
tender bulbs for use during the entire
summer. The late crop may be stored
for winter use.

ever, where they must necessarily be
confined more closely, efforts have to
be made to prevent the occurrence of
this fatal trouble. Under such con-
ditions the feeding of cod liver oil
and plant food is advisable. according
to ]. G. Halpin, poultry man of the
Wisconsin college of agriculture. 1t
should be borne in mind, however, that
there is considerable variation in diff
ferent kinds of cod liver oil.

Not Substantiated.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture)
Claims made by some investigators
that treating the seed OF small grains
with electricity increases the yield
have not been substantiated by results
Of experiments by the United States
Department Of Agriculture. A process
patented and brought into use in Eng
land in 1917 under the trade name
s'Wolfryn Electrochemical Process"
has been well advertised In that coun-
try, Canada, the United States, and
Australia. The process consists in sub
iecting the seed grain to an electric
current (DC) passing through cons
Quoting solution in which the seed Is
immersed. Some reports indicated
that this electrochemical treatment
increased the yield 20 to 80 per cent
and reduced the losses from bunt, rust
and wireWorms.
The experimental methods adopted
by the United States Department OF
Agriculture to determine the value of
such treatment and the results OBJ

New Legume Is Fine for
Pastures in Middle West

A new variety of lespedeza imported
recently from Korea by the bureau Of
plant industry, United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, was tried out at
Purdue university last year. This
variety has a great deal OF promise for
use in seeding with pasture crops, ac-
cording to Purdue crop specialists. 1t
grows large and natures seed two
weeks earlier than other varieties so
can be used in every part of the state.
It stays green during dry weather and
produces a lot Of feed when other
crops are dried up. This characteristic
together with the fact that 1t has a
tough f1brous root system and the
ability to reseed itself and spread
aver thin pasture lands makes it
valuable legume for the Middle West.

Sunshine is very essential to the
baby chicks life.
About five or six years ago poultry
men began observations to discover if
possible what caused leg weakness.
The feeding Of green plant food was
first tried as preventive This
helped to reduce the aff1iction. The
next step in the program was the plac-

effected high percentage of <preven-

Several Kinds of Feed
Good for LAYING Fowls

''To feed nothing but whole grain
is one of the common mistakes in.
poultry feeding" says Prof L. 3. Card,
University of Illinois. "A completes
ration for laying hens must contain
not only scratch feed, or whole grain,
but also ground feeds, animal protein,
green feed, mineral feed, and water.
The omission of any one Of these Isl
certain to result in lower productions
than would otherwise be possible.
When hens can be allowed to range,
especially during the spring and sum-
mer months, they obtain a variety OF
feeds for themselves. During the win
ter, however, when there is little to
be picked up, care must be taken to
supply everything needed.

Living Standard on Farm

That an increased farm population
need not mean a decrease in the
standard of living of American farm
ers is the conviction of Rev. 3. v.
O'Hara, known widely throughout Wis
consin for his interest in rural affairs
He believes that with diversified pro-
duction, with a largely self-suff1cing
instead of a completely commercial
farm economy, the farm population of
the United States could vastly increase
and at the same time maintain a
higher standard of family life than
muItitudes of city families enjoy.

growth and development of the baby
chicks.
Halpin recommends skim milk and
limestone grits as the ration for the
baby chicks during the first 48 hours
after they are Matched. If solid feed
is eaten during this period it interferes
with digestion of the yolk in the chicks
system. Halpin says that baby chicks
should never be coaxed to eat before
they are 72 hours old.
The paying Of high prices for fancy
feeds is discouraged by Halpin. He
feels that poultrymen should use those
feeds produced on their own farms,
or which are available locally. Care
should be taken, however, to feed vel
low corn in preference to white corn,
because of the vitaminel which it con-
tains.

Sudan Grass for Hay

If the hay crop shows prospects of
being short this year or If for any
reason a late planted crop is wanted
which will produce a great deal Of
forage, sudan grass will just about fill
the bill. 1t can be planted any time
from planting time until July 10
and will make two crops in a season
and about four tons to the acre.

Good Protein Supplement

Linseed oil meal is slightly more
valuable than cottonseed meal as a
protein supplement and should be
used in place of 1t If the prices are
about the same. A combination of
the two feeds is desirable in any pro-
portions and not more than 21k pounds
per 1000 pounds live weight per day
Is necessary to balance such ration.
