KEEPING COWS MEANS
S331,920 EXTRA INCOME
FOR This COUNTY
prices PAID Friday

An added income Of $331.920 a
year is enjoyed by Kennebec County
farmers indirectly as result Of
keeping cows, according to the Lar
rowe Institute of Animal Economics.
This income is in the form of a more
fertile soil due to the manure of the
dairy cows in this county. On the
basis of practically a $4,000 fertilizer
valuation per animal per year. this
means a total of 1891, 920 added to the
richness of the soil in this county
every twelvemonth.
Manure is a source of the most
valuable plant food obtainable. says
the Institute, but to preserve it at
its highest value or efficiency. it
should either be put directly to the
fields each day or conserved until
such a time as the opportunity Of
fers itself to spread it. Feeding
trials have proven that an ordinary
COW, while putting from Is to IS per
cent Of the total energy of the feed
she consumes into milk. actually re-
turns to the soil so per cent of the
elements of soil fertility in her feed
in the form of manure. This had led
many dairymen to discover that the
purchase of good concentrate feeds
for their cows not only more than
pays for itself in increased milk pro-
duction but that it also supplies nee
essary food to farm crops that are
expensive when bought in the form
of commercial fertilizer.

Selecting Breeders

The breeding season is Just ahead
and It's high time that we should be
selecting the birds for the breeding
pens, If we have not already done so,
We will first take the male, as he
Is the head of the pen and too much
care can not be exercised in making
this all important selection. The first
thing to consider is health and vigor
Tor without these your venture will
spell failure. In order to make the
proper selection one must know his
breed or variety. it matters not what
breed he has. This of course refers
to standard bred or pure bred stock.
There is a standard for all the diff
ferent breeds of fowls and it is i'm
portant for the breeder to know what
this standard calls for in his par
ticular breed, viz. weight. type and
color.
When the BREEDER has these firmly
fixed In his mind he is then ready to
go ahead and make his selections and
not until then. If his breed is
Plymouth Rocks, what should the
cock bird weigh and so on down the
line. Now then, the first thing to
look for, is he healthy and vigorous
and Is he standard weight with cor
rect type and color. When we have
these we are then ready to go ahead
and select the females, following the
same rules for the females as for the
male as to weight. type and color.
