HOGS ON THE DAIRY FARM
A PROFITABLE SIDE LINE

Agricultural College News-Notes:-
Dairy farming may be of two types;
the intensive type where dairying is
the major project on the farm, or the
diversified type where dairying is of
equal Importance along with several
other projects. No matter which type
Of farming is followed pork produc-
ton is an essential part of either.
On many dairy farms the amount of
land is limited. OF all meat produc-
ing animals the hog is best adapted
to diversified and intensified farming
where large income is desired from
a small acreage. Dairy farming can
not be conducted along the most ef-
ficient and profitable lines without a
sufficient number Of hogs to utilize
the skim milk and buttermilk or whey
which may be available for feeding
and the undigested grain in the drop
pings of the cows. 1t is rather doubt
full whether any system of farming
can satisfy all the principles of good
farm management as does a properly
conducted dairy business, which de-
pends on the output of cream or but
ter and pork for its principal revenue
For raising hogs, equipment used
need not be expensive or extensive.
Hogs can be handled with less equip
ment than any other class of farm
animals. Shelter suitable for early
farrowing should be provided. but it
need not be elaborate or of kind
which would in any way mean a bur-
densome overhead expense. Hogs are
affected by extreme heat more than
any of the other farm animals, but
suitable shade costs little more than
the time spent in providing it.
Hogs fit in well with the labor plan
of the dairy farm. Since the bulk of
the work with cows comes at milking
time, there is, as a rule, slack time
thruout the day which could be used
profitably in feeding and caring for
the hogs.

BIG HAY CROPS WILL TOTAL
3.039. 600 TONS THIS YEAR
ACCORDING TO REPORTS

The hay crop of Colorado will
amount to 3,039 900 tons this year, ac-
cording to the state-federal co-opera-
tive crop report recently issued for
May. The estimate is based on q
condition of 95 per cent of normal,
compared with 80 per cent at this
time last year, and last years crop
finally totalled 2,79s,0O0. This Is
assuming that the acreage Of all hay
will be about the same as year ago.
On May 1st, about II per cent Of
last years crop, or 392 900 tons, re-
manned on the farms Of the state,
compared with eight per cent, or 2l7.-
900 tons of the 1922 crop on hand Q
year ago, and 1876 5000 tl7 per cent?
Of the 1921 crop on May I, 1922. The
winter was generally regarded as mild
but required long feeding period in
some localities, notwithstanding pas
lures appeared to be unusually good
last fall. Tho abundant, they had
however. been injured by frost, re-
ducing the quality. But with abund-
ance of feed, livestock came through
the winter in healthy and generally
good condition.
The mortality of livestock for the
year ending May l, was mostly be-
low the ten-year average

FERTILE EGGS CAUSE LOSS
To FARMERS EVERY SUMNER

4 large part Of the loss caused BY
eggs spoiling IN warm weather can be
prevented by producing only infertile
eggs during the late spring and sum
rler. This loss, which is conservative
estimated at more than $4,000. 900 a
vear. falls almost entirely on the
producer. Not only does he lose the
value of the eggs which SPOIL. but the
producers suffer a further material
loss in the reduction of the number of
cggs consumed caused by people get
ting bad eggs among those they pur-
chase
This loss can be entirely prevented
By producing only infertile eggs dur
ing warm weather. This is accom-
plished By taking all male birds out
Of the flock after the breeding season
Is over. The rooster has no influence
on the nuriS-r nf eggs produced ard
should be either marketed or killed
the meat can be canned-or he should
be kept penned up.
The United States Department of
Agriculture has just published large
poster showing the difference in the
keeping qualities Of infertile eggs
during warm weather. The poster
also gives simple rules for producing
good quality eggs on farms during the
latter part Of the spring, thruout the
summer, and into the early fall
months

DAIRY CATTLE IMPROVEMENT
Is NEW IN UNITED STATES
B. ". Fairbanks, Colorado Agricuit-

ural College
The United States has received its
dairy breeds from Europe, as well as
most Of it, methods in dairying
knowledge Of the use Of milk, and
methods Of manufacturing. In many
instances the American dairyman has
greatly improved upon European meth
Ods. but he Is indebted 20 Europe for
his primary lessons. Perhaps il Is
another case Of the pupil eNeelliny the
master.
The hrst cattle were brought 10
his second voyage. These cattle were
never improved and received little or
no care At least they are not i'm
ment of cattle in this country. Inter
est in the dairy business only dates
back TO the early part Of the eighteenth
century. The early settlers Of our
New England and Southern sea-board
states brought cattle with them from
their native homes Scientific breed
ing was not practised, so these cattle
were crossed Unfortunately and
formed that class Of cattle that is now
generally spoken Of as natives.
Interest in better cattle was evil
denced about 1920. when several i'm
poTations Of improved cattle were
made from Europe TO America No
one Of these imporatious was large
but they formed a nucleus of good
cattle that the American dairyman has
50 well improved. From 1850 to 1880
dairy breed associations were organ
lied and through their efforts the var
ious breeds have been promoted and
the breeds kept pure through their

FOOT AND MOUTH DISEATS
SCARE ABOUT OVER NOW

DR.. c. G. Lamb, state veterinarian,
has gene to California to study the
foot and mouth disease first hand. He
is going by authority of the State
Board Of Stock Inspection Commits
sioners, TO keep in closer touch with
the situation and so that Colorado
may more readily recognizez this
dangerous disease should it ever get
into our territory.
The danger is practically past now,
as reports indicate that the areas in
which the disease has appeared are
gradually being released from guar
an,inc. With a few weeks America
should be free from the menace once
more.

They took. First, group of eleven basic farm
machines: Sulky pillow, pcg-tooth harrow, disk
harrow, grain dnll, corn cultIvator. corn planter,
corn shelter. grain binder mower. hay rake and
farm wagoH-dnd Second a list of common
articles used on the farm but not claSsed as farm
equipment Then they obtained the pound
prices OF these articles by dividing the retail
prices by the weights The pound-price basis is
the only practical way to compare these articles
and 1t Is entirely fair since the materials go
through the same machine shop and factory
processes and are handled by the same class of
labor. Freight to the dealers store was not in
cluded since it applies to all articles the farmer
buys and varies with the distance from point of
manufacture.
The chart shows the prices per pound of the
basic farm machines and other articles the
farmer buys.
Ignore for a minute the L,1v fgx,r in the big
circle and study the pound prices OF the miscel-
laneous articles. You will see that they range
all the zpAy from II cents np 10 50 co. and ft'en
81 efatS PER p0Hn2 Yet these are not high priced
goods; they arc ordinary, everyday articles made
OF the same materials that go into farm equip
ment, and the prices are accepted as fair by all
buyers. The articles listed are of standard line
sold practically everywhere.
Now note the low average retail price per
pound of farm machines The ave,agr pound
price of these basic machines and implements,
needed by every grain-growng farmer, is less
than the 0zpesf in the other group. Some Of
these farm machines have complicated parts in
their makeup and all of them are built to stand
years of hard use, yet tie au'erage ,1ee the farmer
PAYS for these necessary farm machines IS ontv
