Profit In the Dairy.
I have often wondered whether the
average farmer ever stopped to con
sider in a business way the cost of keep
ing his cows, and to compare both sides
of his balance sheet with his herd of
cows, says tho Epitomast, Of course
there are those that make a careful cal
culation of cost as well as profit, and if
the cows are not paying expenses they
are found looking after causes for this
deficiency and are seeking out remedies
that will change the face of the account.
The man who does this will finally
succeed in spite of difficulties, while the
one that goes at his business in a hap
hazard way will have to charge a very
low figure for his feed, throw in his
work, and interest on his money, if he
comes out even. The average number
of pounds of butter for the cow accord
ing to the census reports is ISO pounds
of butter per year to tho cow. It is
plain that we must get above the aver
age if there is to be a profit in the busi
ness. Just how much above must de
pend upon the cost of labor, feed, and
the price obtained for tho product.
There are a number of cows that
will more than double the average, and
there must necessarily be a large num
ber that fail to reach the average. Gur
ler, in American Dairying, calculates
that the cow must produce 190 pounds
of butter annually before there is a pro
fit. I think that in some sections a cow
yielding 190 pounds of butter yearly will
make a profit to her owner, while no
doubt there are others that would nec
essarily keep such a cow at a loss. The
use of the Babcock tester is a great help
in selecting cows that will pay for their
keep, but with many of the trouble is
not altogether with the cow. The man
ner of feeding and care of the animal has
much to do with both the quantity and
quality of the milk, but is not of greater
importance than the quality of food. A
cow muEt have proper feed if she is to
give-a large amount of good milk, and
in order to attain best results for the
dairyman the ration must be compound
ed both with reference to the cost and
the availability of the feed, and also the
ratio of carbohydrates to the protein. It
will often pay to buy some protein if the
farm cannot be made to produce sufil
cient of this element, but, in most cases,
by proper planning, the farm can be
made to yield this most valuable ele
ment to advantage by cultivating some
one or two of the legumes. A cow must
have a large amount of rough feed-
about three-fourths of her ration should
be of roughage, and it should be so fed
that the entire ration would show a
ratio of one to five and one-half or one
to six, for best results. 'We hear a great
deal said about the dual cow of late
years ; I am inclined to that one cause
of the low average of cows is due largely
to the idea of keeping dual cows, or
dual-purpose cows, as they are called ;
people are afraid to invest in dairy cows
because tney fear that the cows will be
a source of loss, as they are not valuable
for beef animals. They do not see their
way clear to invest in animals of the
beef type, so there is a feeble effort made
at the dual type as a compromise.
Scientists tell us that it is impossible to
develop both qualities to anything near
perfection, and so the dual-purpose anl
mal is a poor animal for either. By
using good judgment the dual cow can
be dispensed with.
About Values.
The young breeder who has grown
Sock of standard bred chickens from
eggs from a thoroughbred yard finds
difficulty in fixing the value of his
birds. After the culls are removed,
how shall he put a price fair to the buy
er and seller on the stock 11 his cus
tomers come to him his prices should be
lower than where he must stand the ex
pense oi advertising and shipping, as
well as the stationery and postage ac
count.
Any thoroughbred fowls that would
not be disqualified but lack the fine
points of the breed will bring from two
to five dollars as breeders for the males.
and one to three dollars for the females
Birds that are fit to win in the shows
will bring from $10 up to $100, depend
ing upon the size of the show and the
quality of the bird.
Males and females from a flock which
has made a record as egg producers will
bring about what the owner chooses to
ask for them. A hen with a trap nest
record of 200 eggs per year is worth
gooa aeai to ner owner, and in paying
a long price for her you are paying not
only for the hen and her good qualities
but the time of the owner in ascertain'
ing her real worth as an egg producer.
ine older breeders get better prices
for their stock than amatuers; they are
also easier to deal with in case of disap
pointing hatches, for they cannot afford
to have a dissatisfied customer.
novice often 'wishes to get for his young
stock the same prices he paid for the
old without regard to quality ; older
breeders sell culls on the market rather
than send them out as breeders at any
price.
Frequently a novice writes to a breed'
er giving the standard description of
perfect bird of the breed desired, and
offering from one to five dollars for such
a bird. This is done through ignorance,
but you can't please a buyer of that
kind. He does not know good values
when he sees it.
xne oest place to study values is in
the yards of a reputable breeder or at
the poultry shows. With the exception
of the prize birds prices charged for in
dividual specimens or pens are usually a
guide which the beginner may depend
on where be has a knowledge of stand
ard requirements Wallaces' Farmer.
A Serious Wasts of Fertility.
Permanent stable yards and night
runs for stock are sources of great waste
of fertility on too many farms, says the
Farm and Fireside. The reader can
doubtless think without effort of a doz
en farms where the same yards and
night-runs have been in use for a gener
ation or more. These fields if now brok
en and cropped would be about as val
ueless for a considerable time for a pro
duction as if they had been systemati
cally starved, instead of gorged with
fertility for most crops.
Where the same fields are necessarily
kept in use for yarding purposes or
driveways, they often can be scraped
with profit after several years' use to
the depth of two or three inches, the j
scraping being used as a top-dressing to
spread over fields robbed of their right
ful share of this fertility. It is often
possible to mako use of a road-scraper
which has outlived its usefulness for
highway purposes for scraping tho sur
face of yards and driveways, thereby
saving much time and labor. Tho sur
face can be sheared off and shoved into
windrows convenient for loading in a
few hours, whore hand labor would re
quire days.
A better method of preventing the
fertility wastage alluded to is by means
of a systematic rotation of yarding-lots
often, but not always, possible. The
wire fencing that is now 60 largely in
use can be rapidly and inexpensively
moved, thus allowing tho space devoted
to yards and fence rows to bo kept free
from objectionable growths, and to
yield in their turn bountiful crops.
More busy farmers will adopt such a
vard-rotation when onco weaned of tho
permanent yarding practice than will
take measures to Eave tho fertility from
being washed away into the streams.
Many otherwise beautiful farm homes
arc made sources of annoyance to the
traveling public and an actual menace
to the health of tho occupants by reason
of too close and long continued yarding
of stock near the home buildings.
In the writer's opinion it is not an
overstatement to assert that on not
few farms there is a fertility wastage
from stable yards, driveways and night
runs fullv equal to value to many loads
of expensive commercial fertilizers.
Sheep Shipments.
Stewart & Packard will start their
fourth shipment of sheep this fall for
San Francisco tomorrow. This ship
ment will consist of twenty-five cars or
a total of 2750 head.
Including tomorrows shipment this
firm will have Eent to San Francisco dur
ing the last few weeks nearly ten thous
and head of sheep. The first shipment
consisted of 1200 head, the second about
2500, the third nearly 2S00 and tho one
tomorrow 2750.
The price received by the gentlemen
is not as high as liked, but it enables
them to make a fair profit after all ex
penses are paid. Eugene Guard.

this the testimonies of fruit growers,

of acres cultivated to oranges, grapes,
olives, alfalfa, etc., tho cost to cultivate
the yield per acre and price the products
were sold for. This was ono of the most
practical pieces of literature that could
be put out. Mr. W. E. Coman, G. P. A.,
of the Southern Pacific Company, has
written tho agents of that company in
Oregon that it is the intention to get up
a similar publication for Oregon and
asks that all who are able to give the
results from their farms, dairies, fruit
orchards, berry patches, etc., in Oregon
write the results for publication in the
pamphlet. He says he wants only the
actual results under favoiahle conditions
the same as can be accomplished by
any intelligent grower under normal
conditions ; that is, he wants only honest
representations. Any of our readers in

Piano Buyers,
You will notice that we do not have
to be continually striking out for a new
make of Pianos. The Needham has been
our leader for 14 years and is today
leader among the high grade pianos of
the world. Some cheap pianos are made
high grade simply by getting a boost in
the Oregonian or some other leading
paper, through those big dealers who
think they can, and do make the major
lty of people believe it simply because
they say so. It doesn't take ink, boost
or high commissions to make a good
piano, but instead the very best
mechanics, and the very best material
such aa are always used in Needham
pianos. 29-tf
