Milk production, pork or beef or wool is secondary and Incidental. If the dairy cattle breeder undertakes to build a herd on performance records and pedigrees aloue he will soon have small, high strong. Ill shaped, weak constltutioned animals which may In dividually produce largely at the pall, but whose progeny will have Uttle or no value. The great performance records which have been- made by individual cows of all of tbe recognized dairy breeds are Interesting scientifically and highly valuable In advertising the merit of these breeds, but if these records have been made at tbe expense of the vitaU- ty and robust constitution of the ani- mala and esiectnlly of tbe calves they have no permanent value.

These sows farrowed Aug. 30 and Sept 1 thirteen and eleven pigs and raised ten and nine, respectively. Tbe feed they con sumed, counting from the time the sows were bred until tbe offspring were sold. May 19, 1911. was as follows: Pasture, $5.90: tankage. $12.25: ground wheat $U.50: skimmilk. $2: linseed meal. $2; soy beans. $2; 193 bushels of corn. $S(!.85. Total cost $120.50. When they were sold they weighed S',725 pounds. He received $(! per hun i red weight for theiu. or $223.50. mak ing $103 profit, or 98 cents per bushel for corn consumed. The Breeding Ewe. Ewes should have attained a good condition of flesh by weaning time If they are to provide amide nourishment for rupld aud healthy growth in the lamb. If ewes are fed heavily anil'i not sufficient exercise provided both j ewe and lamb will be weak. This con dition Is often followed by a heavy mortality among the lambs. Better buve tbe ewe in moderate fiesh. with plenty of activity, than fat and slug gish, j GLEAN FEED LOTS PAY GOOD PROFITS Ptacnestng tbe causes that operate to prevent the making of satisfactory gains on cattle, a Missouri correspond ent of Iowa Homestead calls attention to tbe Importance of keeping the feed lot clean and comfortable. He says: Many men have failed to make profit from feeding live stock for mar ket because they hare failed to pro vide a clean and sanitary feed) lot for their fattening animals. Live stink that are compelled to wade knee deep In the mud and sleep In damp, un sheltered places cannot make Mlisfac tory g.ilns In flesh condition. Every feed lot should be provided with a windbreak on tbe two sides that are most exposed to tbe coldest winds and storms. Water tanks should be placed In an elevated position, for many times the fattening animals will go without water rather than wade through a deep mudhole to get to the drinking place.

Longevity of Dairy Cows. Professor C. H. Eckles of the Mis souri experiment station sums up its Investigations along tbe line of tbt profitable longevity of dairy cows Id part as follows: Probably tbe majority of dairy cattle are rejected from the herd on account of failure to breed or from udder trou ble before the effect of advancing years can be observed to any marked extent It Is a fact often observed that a cow may make her best record when ten or eleven years old, although, as a rule, she does her best ruther earlier. If a dairy cow continues to breed she usu ally shows no marked decline nntll at least twelve years old. Occasionally a cow continues to breed until she Is sixteen or eighteen years old. Economy of Silage. A ton of silage ts the cheapest food that we can produce when considered from on economical standpoint One acre of corn will muke from twelve to twenty tons of silage, equal In feeding j value to six or eight tons of hay. be sides occupying one-third or one-fourth as much space when stored and cost ing less to harvest A cow that Is fed silage and clover or alfalfa hay will ph'H a large amount of milk with the addition of a sninll amount of grain.

J if SHOCKED CORN FOR BEEF CATTLE.

A cnlf of good blood, however, will always answer to good tending, but even It cannot do well without It, Providing warm quarters for the young stock during winter Is also an Important factor.
