Getting more milk from fewer cows
Is the aim of the cow testing asso-
citation. Hundreds of cases have DEM
onstrated in most striking manner
that the wedding out of non-produc-
tive milk cows and better care for
the producing members of the milk
herd pay big dividends.
This point was strongly stressed in
an exhibit at the International Dairy
Exposition held at Indianapolis last
October. An actual instance was
given which disclosed the following
facts.
A milk producer had a herd OF six
milk cows producing $4,000 pounds
of milk annually He Joined a COW
testing association. The first step
taken was to weed out the non-pro-
ductive COWS, that is, those cows
yielding insufficient milk to net a
profitable income over and above
feed cost.
The wedding out process left only
four cows in the milk herd. But
these remaining cows were fed ac-
cording to their individual require
ments. No sanitary or beneficial
feeding measure was neglected. Dur
ing stabling months. they were given
plenty of clean bedding; stables were
kept clean: the long hair on tanks
and udders were kept clipped. The

EARLY GRAZING
REDUCES MILK,
HURTS PASTURE

Experiments to determine the
value of pasture as source of dairy
feed have revealed some startling
facts--one Of which is that dairy
men who permit cattle to Craze on
new spring grass are likely to lose
al least one-third of the value Of
the pasture for the entire year.
As long MS men have kept dairy
cows they have taken advantage Of
natures bounty In supplying fresh
green food every year, Consequent
ly. as pastures spring into life every
year. the farmers first thought is
that il is time to turn the cows ont.
There is double danger in this
time -honored practice, and double
benefit from keeping dairy cows in
the barn on n full grain ration at
least a month longer than the APP
penrance Of spring pastures would
Indicate was necessary
Field grass is harder than most
farm crops, but 1t can't stand every
thing. If II is trampled on and
cropped close to the roots when the
first green blades are shooting up,
its growth is stufited md held back,
If not absolutely ruined for the rest
Of the season Thus the farmer who
turns his herd ont too early Is kill
ing perfectly good crop before 1t
has gotten well under way.
This damage In itself is serious
enough, ..but. .it-,lors' not represent
anywhere near SO great loss as
comes from shrinking milk produc-
ton If COWS are forced to rely on
grass for their nourishment at this
season of the year.
In most dairics, cows are thinner
than they should he when turned
out on pasture. They have been In
winter quarters for months on
heavy production without sufTi-
eient amount Of feed They need
larger ration instead Of smaller
one than they had in the barn.
If grass is substituted for grain
at this season of the year, 1t may
for a time show stimulated milk
yield, but the cows are certain to
fall rapidly OF within a short time,
and once they shrink in milk. It is
impossible to get them back to their
former level of production in the
same lactation period
The safest and most profitable
rule that dairymen can follow is to
keep their cows in the barn on a
full grain ration, at least m ulh
longer than is ordinarily the prac-
tice This extra investment in
grain win be more than repaid In
fuller milk pals, both during the
summer and through the coming
fAu and winter,

.l5 PER CENT TAX
 REFUND PROPOSED
This Is Latest Idea Put Forth
 by Mellon

Washington, Nov. 16 P-Secre- tary Mellon yesterday again boosted the ante on the plan of President Coolidge for income taxe credit, de- claring it would be safe to permit taxpayers saving of at least Is per cent on their next years income levies.
 The t5 per cent minimum credit was predicted. MT. Mellon explained. on a prospective surplus of s30o,- 000,O00 for this fiscal year. First estimates made by the president in- dicate surplus of s200,000,000 and on that ground he proposed a 10 per cent credit which later was boosted to 12. 1-2 per cent.
 There were definite indications today at the treasury, however, that no tears would be shed there if congress turned down the, proposed credit plan, threats against which have been seen in some of the con- flicting views expressed by leaders, and forced the application of this years surplus to debt retirement.
 But if the surplus is going to be returned to the taxpayers, Secretary Mellon made it clear today, that he saw no other practical way to do 1t He also reiterated that no permanent cut in tax rate would be sanctioned at the time.
 Round Table Conference.
 At a round table discussion of taxes with newspapermen. MT. Mel lon frankly called for alternative
New Britain herald., 1926-11-16

proposals to the plan to give credit on next years income levies as . means of returning to the taxpayers the prospective surplus.
 Some suggested that the credit be given on the excise and corporation taxes alone; others that the surplus be divided in greater proportion among the individual income tax payers 50 that those who pay small levies would get greater credit: and some proposed that the entire sur plus be applied to retirement of the debt.
 MT. Mellon replied he didn't feel it would be fair to take the surplus created largely by income taxpayers and apply 1t on reduction Of the excise taxes, including the automo- bile and admission dues. It would be difficult also, he said. to give the smaller taxpayers greater credit be- cause their payments now were st small. This plan he added. also would be prejudicial to the other taxpayers.
 The secretary did not deny. how ever, that he would just as soon use the surplus to yard retirement of the public debt, but added that the debt which now stands at about $19,600,- 900, 900, would be cut by well over $500, 100000 this year and he con- sidered this sufficient.
 Permanent Cut Cnwtse
 With a surplus of more than $500, O00,O0O in sight for this year and business conditions continuing sound, the suggestion was offered that 1t would be safe .o make permanent reduction in taxes. But MT. Mellon replied that 1t was unwise to count on certain continuance of prosper. ity, declaring if there was any dim- mutton 1t would wipe out the surplus and might necessitate a consequent increase in tax rates.
 The proposal also was made at the white house today by the Chamber of Commerce of the United States that the tax burden be reduced "when 1t Is next possible to make .

FUNERAL SERVICES ARE
 HELD FOR UNCLE JOE
Vice. President Dawes Alone Repre- scnts Federal Government at
 Danyillc Today

Danville, III. Nov 16 R-The tree lined Vermillion street which was Joseph G. Cannon's wonted path in life. today was his way in death.
 Where half century ago it had led to the nations capitol and the beginning of remarkable career in i the halls of state. Vermillion street . led today to Spring Hill cemetery and the end of the road for the vet eran statesman.
 At the First Methodist church across the street from the Cannon home there were draped flags. but on the casket, as it lay in the dark ened house, there were only floral tributes to a great citizen.
 It was the wish of the family that the services for the man whose fiery voice once ruled the house to be of the utmost simplicity. and even the men of state who gathered came as friends and not as envoys of the served.
 President Charles G. Dawes alone formally represented the gov ernment of the United States, as the representative of President Coolidge.
 From the brief church services set for p. m., the way led directly to the cemetery and modest stone be- side the grave of the bride for whom the spacious old house was built.
 Business and public life in Dan- vile halted for the funeral and in the throng of mourners were many school children.
 Eighty thousand of them, from kindergarten to high school, gave a penny each toward floral tribute.
