Figures Tell Story of
Dairy Herd Improvement

Figures from more than 100000 indi-
yidual yearly records from cows OH
test in dairy herd improvement asso-
Citations in the United States indicate
that on the average. cows producing
100 pounds Of butterfat year returned
but ST over the cost of feed.
Cows that produced 200 pounds of
butterfat returned Sol above feed
COSTS those producing 800 pounds re-
turned S96; the 400-pound producers
returned $13S; and the cows of 500
pounds butterfat production returned
SITS above feed costs. Thus the man
milking a 500-pound producer would
have more net return than if he
MIXED a dozen cows producing only
100 pounds of butterfat. This would
take no account of the added labor of
milking and caring for the larger herd
or of the much greater expense of pro
yiding stable room for herd instead
of a single animal.
The production figures used in this
calculation were obtained by the United
States Department of Agriculture from
the cow-testing associations of the
country and the returns from butter
fat are based on farm prices reported
from all parts of the country.

FAVOR SOY BEANS
FOR DAIRY COW
Equal to Linseed Oilmeal as
Protein Supplement.

Soy beans provide an excellent pro
TEN supplement for use in the grain
ration for dairy cattle. Numerous ex-
periments conducted by some of the
leading experiment stations have
proved ground soy beans to be equal
to linseed oilmeal us a protein sup
plement in the dairy ration. Usually
high protein feeds such as linseed oil
meal, cottonseed meal and corn gluten
feed are high in price and if dairy
men would grow more soy beans it
would make them more independent
of these high-priced protein feeds and
insure a greater dairy income.
In feeding trials conducted at the
Purdue university agricultural eXper-
fment station in 1928 comparing
ground soy beans with linseed oil
meal, soy beans proved to be equal to
linseed oiImeal as a protein supple
meat for dairy cattle when fed in
the grain ration of corn and oats.
Experiments conducted at the Pur-
due and South Dakota stations COM
pairing soy bean hay with alfalfa hay.
soy bean hay was found to be prae-
tically equal to alfalfa hay when fed
TO dairy cattle.
Trials conducted at the Iowa sta
tlon in 1922 in comparing ground soy
beans with linseed oilmeal, as pro-
TEN supplement for the dairy ration,
the ground soy beans proved to be
worth $50 per ton when old process
linseed oilmeal was selling for $40
per ton. In other words, the ground
soy beans fed as a protein supple
ment to the basal grain ration of
corn and oats were worth one-third
more than the linseed oilmeal.
As roughage for general herd
feeding, good quality soy bean hay
has proved to be Just as good as al
falfa hay in the Purdue dairy herd
the last winter. In fact We think so
much of the bean hay that this year
we will have 70 tons for winter feed

tory to make the story of California
and Nevada interesting. After de-
voting Is pages of his book to a des-
perado named Slade, who was execut-
ed in Montana, he quotes from the
first hook published in the state, "The
Nigilantes of Montana" by Dimsdale
to illustrate the character of Slade as
follows: "From Fort kearney west,
he was feared great deal more than
the Almighty
For compactness and simplicity
and vigor of expression" writes old
Mark, Il will back that sentence
against anything in literature"
In their battles with the white man
the plains Indian generally made one
fatal mistake. 1t was not due to lack
of courage. It was due to training and
to an experience gained in fighting
with other Indians.
The tribesmen were splendid horse
men. They preferred to fight from
horseback They were courageous at
the charge and did not WAIVER under
fire. But when only about 20 or 30
feet from the enemy they almost in
variably, instead of riding through,
swerved to right or left after one sol-
ley, later wheeling to continue the at
tack Tho ont.e lchal whites took full
advantage of this method of attack,
holding their fire to the last moment,
with terrible effect. Hence it was
that in relatively unimportant Skin
mishes with fur traders and immi-
grants, the whites were able to sell
their lives dearly or to beat off an at
tack made by greatly superior num-
bers.

theless the men of that day conquered
all obstacles. The pot of gold at the
end of the rainbow in Montana
beckoned and they pulled their boats
with ropes over the sandbars and
through the rapids, worked their way
around the fatal snags AMI whirlpools,
braved the Indians and fought the
cholera on board ship, forcing their
way up the artery of commerce to
build cities, to take up homesteads and
to mine gold.
The traffic attained tremendous
proportions. In 1859, according to
the newspaper advertisements at st.
Louis, more boats left bound for the
upper Missouri than for both upper
and lower Mississippi points. In
1867 10000 passengers were landed
safely at Fort Benton.

New York, July 27.-tP)-The re-

progress today under the influence
OF favorable trade news and an
ample supply Of call money. Early
gains Of ! to z points were distrib-
uted over broad list, with the mo-
tors, coppers. rubhers and airplanes
giving the best demonstrations off
group strength. Several weak spots
developed during the session, but
they failed to stem the upward surge
Of prices.
Banks called $5,oo0,0oo in loans,
but there was no strain on call
money, which renewed unchanged at
5h per cent. The influx Of out-of-

bility OF higher call money rates

the situation.
