CIENT THRASHING METHODS ILL MEAN MUCH THIS SEASON a matter of nuenllun i.-v .i... the most efficient means of care and management there Is a chance of losing financially except with the very best and most efficient effort on the part of the animals them selves. Dairying is the foremost agricul tural Industry of Columbia county. The time was when most any farmer with a herd of cows, with cheap feed and abunilunce of puHture, could make a handsome Income and have very few worries in his efforts. Hut, as has been stated, these same Indi viduals would now be a source of loss to him. Therefore, It Is up to the cow. I.Ike the expert In any line of Industry er like the more modern machinery, she must be highly ef ficient and capable of turning out a maximum of finished product for the minimum of raw products consumed. The modern dairy cow must produce about six times the amount ot human solid fat produced by any other type or animal, such as the sheep, the steer and the pig. In order to get her to accomplish such a performance It has been necessary to carry her through a course ot strenuous evolu tion. This has been brought about by the efforts of scientific and ex pert breeders during the pant few years. Cows formerly producei) irom zuu tp 3uu pounds, of fat In a year and were considered heavy pro ducers. Tl'ey now produce from a thousand to twelve hundred pounds of at per year In some cases, when the annual production of butter fat r.ctually equals the body weight of the animal, and the total amount of food matter contained Id her ennual milk flow may annually reach three times her body weight. In order tu hltrh aU... ti . "1Br8 are seven owners pt UiIh animal and most of them have already purchased a few pure bred females to be used as a founda tion for the development of purebred ..uioi,. A group or seven farmers In the vlclnlt nf n.i. a very Bnlendid the famous Golden Improve the dairy community TM l..,if. dura made 086 pounds of at at eleven years of age, she being an Inbred uuugiuer or uolden Glow's Chief. i. AA U F'uIler. cashier of the Italnler State Bank, Is taking a very active part In the Improvement of livestock In the vicinity of Rainier and he has purchased two purebred heifers as a start for himself. The animal purchased Is valued at $500 and It Is quite probable that the im provemnt which he will make on the dairy stock in this community will bem any times that amount. The farmers of Bachelor Flat have organized a St. Helens Jersey Cattle club, capitalized for one thousand dollars. They have purchased a splendid two-year-old bull from the famous Ed Carey herd. The average production of this bull's dam and two grand daughters Is 770 pounds of butter fat In a year. His sirs' mother, St. Mawes Poppy, has a rec ord of 952 pounds of fat. He is half brother to the cow which sold for $5100 at the recent sale In Yamhill county. Mr. William Skuzie has been elected secretary of the club Mr. Nagle, president nnd Mr. Sher wood, vice president. Mr. Naston, Mr Matson, Mr. Morton and M. Sher man M. Miles rre alo stockholders In the club. This group of farmer are ta be congratulated upon the excellent they have made, and hope that other communities la county will get together and purchase ani mals of a high auallty that eouid not be purchased aa individuals, Recently at the Pomeroy sale at Scappoose, an average of $434 per head waa received for sixty head of purebred Holateln eewa. The sire at the head of the herd was sold for $3000, and those who know remark.
