High Testing Herd

owned by Pau brothers of Free
port, breeders of pure bred milk
ing Short Horns led the Sank
Centre Cow Testing Association
for 1926, with first place of the
10 high herds. The 20 cows in
the test had a butterfat test of
Alp, yielding an average of
316.1 pounds of butterfat, with a
net profit of SIG. GA each. !, The
three cows in the testing associa-
ton were owned by the Glen Oak
Stock Farm. They were: Mariet-
ia, 1904 lbs. milk; av. test, Ala /;
butterfat, 394.2; Rosebud, $3.50
lbs. milk; av. test 4.68; butterfat,
1872. 1; Red Rose, 1O,412 lbs. milk;
av. test, 3.75; lbs. butterfat, 381.2.
Be Generous With Good Cows
Many owners of dairy cattle
fail to give the good cow suffic-
lent feed above that required for
carrying on her bodily functions,
says the United ! States Depart
ment of Agriculture. The highly
specialized dairy COW returns in
the form of milk practically all
the digestible nutrients in the
feed given her except those for
body maintenance. Nearly all
highly specialized milk producers
lose weight in the early part of
the lactation period but they
normally regain it toward the end
of the milking period. The dairy
man can well afford ito feed such
cows literally, since they will re-
turn the feed in the form of milk
when they again freshen.
Good SHINING Saves Money
Preparatory to SHINING farm
animals clean the hide as thorough
ly as possible, suggests the Unit
ed States Department of Agricul-
ture. The use of the old-fash-
Toned curry-comb with its sharp,
jagged teeth may result in seri-
Gus damage particularly to calf
skins. "A more recent style of
comb with dull teeth or a fiber
brush and water, preferably from
fountain attachment is much
safer.
Always bleed cattle by sticking
the throat lengthwise instead of
crosswise unless religious require
ments prevent. Cutting the throat
cross wise mars the patterns of the
hide and lowers the market value.
Make the ripping-open cuts
straight, with smooth edges, and
in the proper places and direc-
tions. If a hide is not opened up
correctly it will not be of proper
pattern and consequently less val
liable for leather. The butt, bel
ly and shoulder portions of the
hide will not be properly distri-
buted so that the tanner can not
divide the resulting leather ac-
eording to the quality and value
of these different, sections.
In SHINING a keen edge works
best. Use the skinning knife care
fully and only when absolutely
necessary. Keep hide taunt to
avoid gashing it, and also guard
against cutting out chunks of the
carcass in an effort to save the
hide. Meat left on the hide not
only is waste but may cause rot
ten spots.
Where the hide is very tight, as
over the rump and round, particu-
lar care must be taken to avoid
cutting it. This is the most val
liable part of the hide and it is

Minnesota farm feed costs may
be lowered appreciably in 1927
by the growing and use of more
alfalfa hay, declares the Blue Val
ley Creamery Institute. The In
stitute estimates that if only those
farmers in the state who keep
dairy cows would grow sufficient
alfalfa to feed these cows proper
ly this year, the alfalfa acreage
would be more than doubled.
Approximately 100000 acres of
Minnesota farm land were in al
falfa in 1926, producing 10000
tons of hay, states the Institute.
AS the average COW consumes ap-
proximately one and half tons of
alfalfa hay in year, the 1,579,000
dairy cows in this state require
around 100000 tons of this hay
annually. Since the average acre
yield of alfalfa in Minnesota for
the past five years is 2.5 tons, the
acreage of this valuable legume
needed to feed dairy cows most
efficiently and most economically
during the coming year is estimat-
ed at 948,000 acres, to say moth
ing of the many more thousands
of acres that will be required for
feeding other farm animals. AL

summer. Concentrates and hay
are less abundant this winter than
last. Even if nothing like short
age Of feed develops, Mr.. Long
declared that the influence of this
factor will be toward lighter pro-
duction during the coming months
as compared to the same months a
year ago. This was one of the rea-
sons brought out by Mr.. Long to
show that the dairy industry is
not confronted with any grave
menace of domestic over-produc-
ton.

DIPLOMATIC TRIP FOR SENATOR'S

Trips OF congressional committees about the coun-
try or to other countries at public expense, usually
are described as "junketing 5r-ps, and often no
more than that. Such term, however, need not be
applied to the proposal of Senator Borah, for taking
his foreign relations committee TO Mexico and Me
aragua during the TO learn at first hand OF
conditions there That looks like serious and lmpor-
tant business
The foreign relations committee seems likely 10 have
a good deal to do with Mexican and Nlco-a5t.2E 1a-
lations before the present complications with those
countries ara St. al Lta.ad cut a Washington. Il Is
hardly possible for the senate OF the government or
the American public, % get toe much light on tae sub

tries referred very hard to understand and the
air is full Of propaganda and preiudiced statements.
A senatorial committee, possessing diplomatic au-
thority composed of representatives of both political
parties and various emperament and shades of opin
ion is doubtless well adapted 20 studying the subject
for legislative enlightenment and the information Of
the American people.
Closer contact with foreign countries with W-lom
