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 . I-

Cows do best and produce the larg
est quantity of milk in early sutnnter,
when grass is abundant. . 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.; -' . ... ! .

PROPER METHOD OF' RAISING ECONOMICAL FOOD PRODUCING ANIMALS
i-ccniwn cadm nniwi
ILLUIIIU iniun UUM
, OF TRYING TO ARGUE WITH THE O0C
V, (Coovrieht 1 1 S. h- f.
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-

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. :

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.
Feed to Be:ffigh;
Feed la going jto; ie higher j than
usual this fall, unless all atgns' fall.
It is, therefore, doubly important that
the farmer keeping dafry cows should
be sure that his cows: are giving him
more than value received for what they
et. The way to be feu re of this is to
have scales, and a Babcock tester. -
This is only off the reasons ''why
farmers should test their cows for
quantity and quality of product, saye
W. A. McKerrowJ . organizer1 of - cow
testing associations fqr the extension
division of the Minnesota College of
Agriculture. ' i:.: :i- - 1 ; - ;-.-
Other reasons for epw testing are:
It enables tlie fanner to ellmlnafe
cows that do not pay for their board.
It eaves many a good cow from the
shambles.:-'. j. j.., -r. -ji 'iH.!,1- ji'
It is an encourager'Of good feeding
and 'good, care.; " jif f -. I -r -I :
It gives the farmer an opportunity
to bulk up a good producing herd;
It increases onefs interest tn -dairying
as a buslneae rather than as a
means of labor merely. .1 I'
