COW CULLING ADDS
TO DAIRY PROFITS

One dairy COW out of three is
loser, even among the better herds
in the herd-improvement associa
tiOns, according to studies the Blu
reau Of Dairy Industry has made o.
the association records. Such con.
dition in these better-than-averagt
herds, say the dairy specialists, Is
the best kind OF argument for deduc-
ing milk production by culling out
the poorest cows in all of the lower
yielding herds and probably to an
extent in some of the high-produc-
ing herds.
With the present price situation
such a course Is as plain as a new
road, but II Is road that has been
pointed out ON the basis of these
profit-and-lOss figures for many
years. Yet IN the last few years the
usual numbers of Gull dairy cows
have not been marketed. In fact,
the COW population has increased IS
per cent in six years, whereas in
normal times about four and one
half million cows have been taken
out of milk production each year.
Although the need for reducing the
quantities of milk and other dairy
products put on the market may be
only temporary. increase in efflcien-
cy OF herds should be a continuing
program, says o. i. Reed, chief of
the Bureau of Dairy Industry. Gull
ing, he says, is the first move in
building more efficient herds for the
future.
How the dairyman may go a long
way toward collecting more profit
without making a greater demand
on the consumer is shown by a few
simple figures in a recent statement
prepared by the Bureau of Dairy In
dustry: Cows producing 200 pounds
of butterfat a year in herd Improve
ment associations in 1882 did so
with feed cost of $27.50 for each
COW. On the other hand, the cows
that produced 400 pounds a year
had a feed cost of only $36 so year
only 80 more for twice as much
butterfat. With butterfat at 20 cents
a pound, a herd of 80 cows of the
kind producing 200 pounds of but
terfat year would bring in 81 900
income over feed cost. But Il farm
er with cows of the pound kind
would have to tend and milk only !
% Of them TO get $1,000 over feed
cost.

work and in overhead expense is |
But from the standpoint |
Ot present market conditions the diff |
ference in production is even more
significant. The man who brings

The memory Of Theodore Roosevelt
ever has been dear to North Da-
kotans since he came to the Bad
Lands for . hunting trip in 1883. At
that time he became interested in
North Dakota,s possibilities q q stock

established two ranches In the bad
Lands, the Elkhorn and Maltese Cross.
He spent considerable time ct these
two ranches during the summers Of
1854, 1885 and 1885. He retained H.
nancial interest In the stock indus
try in the Bad Lands until 1850.

INDIAN BRAVES
 CARRY ED. R. BID
Start Cross Country Race to Invite President to
 Sept Celebration

Niagara Falls, N. Y. (UP)-A band of 12 Tuscarora Indians soon will start on a nonstop re. lay race across three states to de- liver to President Roosebelt by courier an invitation to attend the our-Nation Celebration at Old Fort Niagara, September to 6.
 The 12 braves were chosen as the best runners from 40 volun. teers to the posts. They will par. ticipate in one of the longest over- land courier relays on record.
 The Indians will invite the pres ident to witness the dedication of the rebuilt fort, returned to its 17th Century picturesqueness aft. CT seven years of construction work, and ceremonies commemo- rating the century of peace be- tween Canada and the United States.
 The braves will run continuous. ly in one hour relays until their destination is reached. While one Indian is carrying the message by foot, the others will be transported in a bus, to relieve him at the end of the hour. They expect to make an average of seven miles an hour on the run. Friendly competition among the Indians has led to sev. eral wagers as to which will cover the most distance.
 A tentative route will take the runners from Old Fort Niagara. through Niagara Falls. Buffalo. East Aurora, Leicester, Wayland. Bath and Painted Post, N. Y.; Mansfield. Williamsport, North umberland, Clarks Ferry, Harris burg and York, Pa; and Towson, Baltimore and Laurel, Md. to WashinptOn
