Asher was the main witness which

was granted a continuance.
"Some time ago Revenue Agents
Peter Reager and. Joseph Marvollo
campaigned in Washington with the
result that fully fifteen cases were

Make Cow Pay You Wages, Hint to
Minnesota Farmer
tstSFsEsSsFStsEsxsxsESt.

, Watch the pay envelope your COW
brings in if it's bigger returns you
are after, the Blue Valley Creamery
Institute advises the enterprising Min
nesota dairy farmer. To find out ex-
actly the wagts per hour that each
cow is paying for the labor and care
expended on her, it is merely neces-
sary to deduct the total expenditures
from the total receipts of each COW
and divide the difference by the num-
Der of hours of labor expended on
her during the year.
On one of four neighboring farms
where careful records had been kept
it was brought to light that not only
did the farmer receive no wages for
the time spent on his cows but that il
actually cost him 1877 cents an hour
each to have them hang around his
place. In the other three instances
the farmers were paid at the rate OF
ga, 21.1, and 48.3 cents per hour
for the time and labor spent on each
of their cows. The two lots of COWS
bringing home latest pay envelopes
were better bred than the others, al,
though the right kind of feed and bet.
ter care would have done much toward
making the others profitable en-
ployes. The amount of butterfat pro.
duced annually by each of the COWS
was found to have a direct relation to
the number of hours and the care
which they received, in each instance
the animals with better care produc-
ing the greatest income.
1t is costly error for the farmer
who uses family labor to assume that
whatever the cow produces is all tc
the good, according to the Institute
He should not be satisfied until his
careful record keeping indicates that
he is receiving at least current wages
for his efforts. The record will fur.
Their point out to him the improbable
members of his herd, and these he
should aim to replace with animals
that will produce on an average OF
$50 to 325 pounds of butterfat each
year. With the non-producers cut Out
and the good stock left put on bal
anced rations and given proper care
there will be no reason why the farm
er should not receive full pay en-.
velope from each cow in his dairy
herd.

BLUE VALLEY FARM SERVICE
Canned Pasture" Favored By
Minnesota Farmers

Canned pasture" is meeting with
favor among Minnesota farmers &C
cording to the Blue Valley Creamery
Institute. A count of silos or "green
corn preservers" in this state shows
that 29,419 farmers are now using
this means of assuring their dairy
cows and other stock of green pasture
for the cold weather period.
On farms where there is a great
need for succulent winter feed as a
substitute for pasture, or where there
is danger of pasture shortage in
summer, on farms on which a limited
production of roughage is possible,
and where it is necessary to get the
greatest possible amount of feed from
each acre, the silo is both practical
and advantageous, states the insti-
tute.- In a lecture prepared for the
Radio Farm School of the Blue Val
ley Creamery Institute, Professor A.
c. Ragsdale, dairy chief of the Mis-
souri, Agricultural College, gave what
is believed to be the most complete
outline of the advantages of silo and
silage, which is here reproduced in
abbreviated form.
l.. Silage furnishes a succulent,
readily available feed of uniformly
good quality for any season OF the
year. 1t is cheaper than other feeds
with the exception of pasture grass
When pastures are poor, it furnishes
succulence at cost less than that of
soiling crops. 1t also adds to the
palatibility of a ration, thereby in
creasing consumption.
2. The silo helps to secure the
largest amount of digestible nutrients
from a given acreage. Silage is eat
en- up clean while rs to 80 per cent
fodder is wasted.
8. Silage requires less room for
storage than similar feed in the form
of hay or other dry forage and is
more accessible in bad weather.
4. The silo preserves crops when
weather does not permit of field cur
ing. 1t helps save an immature crop
from untimely frost and preserves
frosted corn that would otherwise be
ruined by rainy weather. Hay crops
may be partially saved by storing in
the silo.
5. Silage lessons the amount of
green needed to produce milk or
beef or in maintaining animals.
6. Silage puts the bloom or finish
on animals in less time than can be
done with any other ration.
7. Putting the crop in the silo gets
it off the land earlier than otherwise
and permits the land to be fall plow-
ed or fall sown.
8. Silage is one of the most eco

alfalfa to make next year. He see6f
ed about IA pounds to the acresNd
says it comes just about being Kpo
thick, but we believe the plants Will
soon adjust themselves. The strong
er ones will naturally crowd out the
weaker.
He says, every time he cuts his al
falfa it seems to get thicker. A
patch on western slope was bare
this last spring but now it is all COW
cred. The few plants that were there
have kept spreading and branching
and have gradually covered it.
