INCREASE PROFITS BY Many a manufacturer has made a fortune by making economic use . of the by-products and even the waste of his business. Likewise, says A. W. rtoptcins, dairying expert, many dairy farmers have greatly! increased their profits by feeding the by-products of the dairy, ekim milk and' whey Jo a drove of well bred hogs. In this way and finder normal conditions, they have ; grown a dependable cash crop which has required -but little la,bor and has given big returns. Farmers who are in a position to separate their milk at home, or who are within reach of a creamery or cheese factory, find, as a general rule, that f re$h ekim ' milk or whey, when fed to a4 growing drove of swine, is worth more than is received for it when sold-as : whole 'milk. ' One. hundred pounds of skim milk has a feeding value equivalent to one half bushel: -of corn One hundred pounds of skim, milk is often worth five times the price paid per pound for live hogs. and whey is worth about one-half as much as skim-milk. Besides being valuable from a feed ing standpoint, these dairy by-products furnish the . variety of feeds so re lished by growing pigs. : -f i .

Grass is. the best feed known, and when possible cows should have plenty of it-. If pasture is. limited, forage crops should be planted to supplement, the pasture and assure plenty of green feed dur ing the growing season. Green, Juicy, feed, besides producing large quantities . of milk, keep the cow's, digestive system in good condi tion; consequently, .some such feed in winter is desirable. Patches of rye or oats near the barn furnish grazing at times, but cannot be depended upon to furnish all the cow needs every day from the appearance of frot until spring opens. , ' , : A constant and dependable supply of Juicy feed. for cows can be obtained in. turnips, rutabagas; or ; carrots. These roots can be fed to cows with out injuring the taste, of the milk, provided they are i fed immediately after milking. Since cows require; t, and roughage is tle -cheapest feed and one that every- farmer can I produce; on- the farm, 'cows should be given all: of this material that they will eat without waste. Such hays as pea vine, vetch, and other legumes are the best dry roughage for- feeding, but the grass hays and coarse hays of the farm are also good. The coarser hays are eaten more readily if mixed with the better hay. . . -: - - -: . If a man has 10, cows or more the cheapest form in which Juicy feed can be furnished for winter feeding Is silage Silage spoils on exposure . to the air, and with less than that num ber of cows it cannot be. fed off rap idly enough to keep the top layer in good condition. With plenty of roughage and ruta bagas or turnips the cow will keep in good condition throughout the winter and produce a fair flow of milk, but she cannot' consume enough of ; these bulky feedii to furnish all the food ele ments neceggary to produce the largest amount of'Tntlki' consequently some very rich It ecds which are not bulky must be added. Such feeds are bran, shorts, and corn meal. Just- what grain or meal is best to give a cow depends upon the kind . of roughage she gets. Pea vine, vetch, clover, and hay are among the best roughages. 1 The use of stock powders and patent stock feeds is a very expensive and wasteful practice. When a : cow lis well she needs no medicine or stimu lants, and when she is sick she needs to be treated for the particular ail ment she has. The lean, rough-haired, hollow-eyed condition of many cows is not always due to sickness, but generally to lack of feed or to effects of ticks. If a cow receives plenty of pea vine, vetch, or clover, she will need " no condition powders of any kind. When plenty of : feed is-: given and she is not in good condition, then she requires special . treatment by someone who knows how o treat such cases. :.- ... i: ,( ' N )-: j In addition to good 'feed, the cOw must have good care injr order , to make the greatest profit. Exposure to cold winds and. rains ; greatly . counteracts the effects of good feeding. Stalls: in which the "cows are kept should be free from large cracks that admit cold wind in drafts. Ventilation is needed, but the air should be admitted through windows "or openings high enough from , the ground to prevent tha wind from "blowing on the cows. 7 Tha Stall must not become wet and miry with manure or from the rain. Jut should be kept dry and. well bedded wlth leaves, straw, sawdust, or other avail able material. This will . not only keep the cow clean and make her ecjmJ f ortable, but will afford a pleasant place to milk in. Tha- bedding will also add to the amount of manure that can beucarried to the fields. :; i : The cow is ar nervou animal .and should . be treated gently and kindly. If aba steps on the milker's foot, ! or slashes hla faca ' with her talL j or kicks when her teats are pinched, the should not be kicked inf return; and if the feed room' door is'- left open . and she goes in, she should not be beaten for it. A careful milker rarely suf fers Injury . by the cow,: and she' will respond readily to care, patience and kindness 'on the part of tha milker. Bough treatment is expensive. for it reduces the milk flow.; -' . ... ! . - , , (Coovrirht : 115..h- . v ...--.;,-.

By Professor Thomas' Shaw. The views, that are commonly held jvith. referenca to economy of produc tion in cattle and indeed In all food producing animals; are frequently in correct. The common view held with "reference to this question is that the most economical cattle beast is the one that will produce the largest amount of food nutrients from' a given amount of food: That this is only a half truth is shown below. The truth is, that the animals that are the most economical food producers are those that show the largest prcductlon and at - the least cost under the condi tions that may be present. Tested at Expositions. Take, for instance, by way of illus tration, tha contests that were con ducted . between certain of the5 dairy breeds of cattle at the Columbian ex position held in Chicago in 1893, and at the Louisiana Purchase exposition held in St. Louis in 1904. In 1893 at Chicago, Jersey. Guernsey and Short horn herds competed. -The result of all the tests at this fair proved that under the existing conditions .present the Jerseys demonstrated their ability to profitably assimilate' a greater quantity feed than the other con testants and to return a greater net Increased profit. At the St. Louis ex position the results . were even more pronounced in favor of the Jerseys. At that fair the Jerseys gave one pound of butter fat for -.every 12 pounds of .food. The Hoisteii3 called for 14.839 poundsof ' food to - produce the same, the Shorthorns "1Bv52 pounds and the Brown Swica 16.91:9 pounds. To pro duce a pound of milk solids the Jer seys consumed 2-8 Di pounds of nu trients, the HoIste-Yt? 3.283 pounds, the Shorthorns 3,421 -pounds and the Brown Swiss 3.638 pounds. Is" Hot Conolnaive. From the above results the conclu sion' reached by the masses is - that Jerseys will give a greater return for the food fed than certain, other breeds. This is certainly tru under certain conditions. .But -what are the condi tions? When Jarge quantities of such foods are present without stint such as; are calculated to produce large re turns in milk. The Jerseys should be given full credit for the results achieved under the conditions present, but this result should not be regard ed as conclusive in showing the great profit in Jerseys as Compared with Holsteins when the greater value of the skim milk produced by Holsteins is considered.. Nor 'should it be re garded as proving conclusively that Jerseys are mora profitable) than milk ing Shorthorns when the beef eide of the question is considered. It simply proves that Jerseys are the moat eco nomical producers of atrictly dairy produces when the foods to produce, that are present in ample supply and the other conditions are all favorable. It does not show . that the .Jersey is more profitable than the Ayrshire when the animals must fcatber their foods On- rugged' pastures or when .they must produce milk largely from coarse fodders. Nor does it -prove that the Kerry or the Dexter with their great hardihood will not prove even more satisfactory than the Jersey in furnishing family cows, Again, suppose a , Jersey steer be- Greatest Cigarette y t imdEgyptumGpirctttththeVirU SPETERMIHEPTO ALTEPL ) TMADAM; "TWEKE IS ) j i tween m and V2 ye-irs old should show as , much increase on a given amount of food as a steer ofione of . the dis tinctive beef breeds, as-for instance, the Shorthorn, the Hereford, the Aber deen Angus or the Galloway, that does not prove that he will be as profitable to the -grower. That question is de cided chiefly by the i price that can be obtained for the finished product. Suppose the Jersey steer or a " steer of any of the' dairy breeds should show a gain of ,5D0 pounds in say the. 2-year form and he is then put upon the market as finished. Suppose a steer of one of the beef breeds thowed a. similar; increase' on practically the same amount - of food, Suppose both steers reached ' the market at 1200 'pounds, and that the beef 'steer brought a cent more per pound In the market, the profit from feeding the beef steer over the dairy steer during that year would be $550. If the beef steer n this 'instance brought two cents, a pound more than the other, a difference that is not unusual, then the greater profit from the beef steer would be $11 for the year's feeding, but. observe this did i not come from the greater economy in production, but from the greater suitability of the beef steer to the needs of the market. Another way of putting it would be to say. that the higher: quality of the meat in the beef steer was what com manded the higher price and there fore the greater profit Again, suppose two steers, say of the Shorthorn and Hereford : breeds, have etiual feeding properties in the stall. When meat is made under these conditions the economy in production would be .'much the same, for they would probably sell for the same price in the market. But suppose the meat in both instances were grown on the range under . severe conditions. The Hereford would probably show more increase than the ghorthorn I and ' if so in the Instance . the economy of production would be greater in' the case of the Hereford. Once more., suppose an Angus and a Shorthorn steer are fattened in the stall - and th two make . similar Increase on a given amount of food, then h An gus will bring the greater profit for such feeding should the Angus sell for a higher price per pound,- but should the Shorthorn make imore In crease during' ; the .feeding period, the greater profit; may in thet caisa come from the shorthorn. All - these In stances tend to show that economy in production is only one factor in deter mining profit. Adaptation to envU ronment is another, and it is frequent ly more important than the other. : 1 lth Street Playhouse Cor. 11th and Morrison SU. (Formerly the Baker) CONTINUOUS FROM 1 P. M. TO 11 P.

EFFECT OF WATER ; ON SIZE OF FRUIT . In an address by Professor C I. Lewia. of Corvallis, Or., before the California State Fruitgrowers' conven tion, on the effects of irrigation! on J fruit, the fact was brought out that j irrigation can .be made to ' influence very materially the size of crops. First, by producing a larger-siae of specimen, bringing what would otherwise! ; be small specimens no "to a rood market. j able size; second, by reducing- the wlnd- laus, ana tniro, by giving, bud wood such a stimulus as. to lay the founda tion for succeeding crops. In the work ' at Corvallis, " trees which - were given suincient moisture have generally ex celled in the above named factors those which were not given this moisture. The color of the fruit, especially red apples, is quite materially influ enced, by moisture.: W-henever a tree bearing red ' apples does not receive quite as much as it should, these apples will take on a deep color, but it is dull and unattractive They do not have that live, handsome, living color which sella so . much of I our western fruit. When given sufficient moisture, the color may not be quite so deep, but it is alive and bright; and measures up to our market require ments., i. . ..: f : rn-j: v -j :'X-y - The lack of 'moisture on yellow ap ples isajt to cause an.; early maturity which brings the greens and yellows into jthe darker yellows and orange much earlier than would otherwise be true. . With Newtowns, for example, if the tree does not receive quite a much moisture, it has a tendency to mature its . crop earlier, ,o that at picking time the i fruit is of a much deeper color, than Is true with those which receive more moisture. But, on the.-other hand, tlro'se trees which re ceive the moisture aj-e generally a little later. m maturing, the apples are larger, the color comes out a little slower, but will come in the end, and the fruit will generally keep longer.
