PRODUCTION. Dairying T hat Is Satisfactory to Cow and Owner. By Profcasor It H. DEAN. Canada. Atwood says th a t one q u a rt of m ilk has about as m uch n utritive value as a pouud of beef. Now, we cau pur chase In milk nutritive m aterial a t about one-third the cost th a t you cau get til beef. 1 would like you to bear lu mind th a t milk Is one of the clieaiv- est of the n u tritiv e foods which we may purchase and has this g reat ad vantage over beef—th at it Is alm ost en tirely If not entirely digested. Man In the process of the study of th is ques tion looked for some anim al which could give him th is n utritive m aterial a t the sm allest cost, nud a fte r experi m enting w ith all the low er anim als he cam e to the conclusion th a t the cow was the one w hich would produce milk lu the g reatest quautity and a t th e low est cost. We have In our stable a H olstein which has produced 2.522 pounds of mill; In thirty days, w ithin 500 pounds of the nverngo annual production of cows of O ntario and Quebec. In seven days she gave us 643 pounds and in one day nluety-slx pounds of milk. If we hail cows like th a l there would lte no trbnble about having plenty of milk to drink. A m an cannot afford to keep cows th a t produce only 3,000 pounds of milk In a year. Two Faotors of Success. One of the factors th a t we m ust bear In mind regarding a good cow is th a t we m ust have a strong, healthy, vigor ous one If we would have milk th a t has w hat Is called vitality, f think it would be Impossible to get the best in Ilk for drinking purposes from a cow th a t Is low In vitality. Second, the cow m ust be fed the right kind of food. T here are some men so generous th a t they will feed their cows straw all w inter, give them all the straw they can c at and then sw ear a t them because they will not give more milk. It Is little w onder th a t m any farm ers are unable to obtain satisfactory milk production. They do not feed. W inter Feeding. For five or six m onths of the y ear the farm er m ust substitute for grass such foods as m angels, carrots and corn silage. T urnips should not be fed to cows producing milk. Some people en joy the flavor of turnips in milk, but the m ajority do n o t If you w ant the best quality of milk do n o t feed tu r nips. We should recom mend the following ration for w inter milk production: F.lght to ten pounds clover hoy. th irty to forty pounds corn stlage, tw enty to thirty pounds mangels, eight to ten pounds meal made np of equal parts of oats and bran by w eight and one to tw o pounds of oil cake, gluten meal or pea meal, the ration to bo given In tw o feeds dally to each cow. A cow does not need to be fed m ore th an tw ice a day under ordinary conditions. W ater and Salt. Give the cow plenty of w ater. H ow m uch w a ter do you th in k w as drunk by tho cow th a t gave ninety-six pounds of milk In one day? N early 200 pounds. T h at does not m ean th a t th e milk w as w ater, as her milk tested about 3.5 per cent f a t You cannot w ater m ilk through th e cow. Only m an has learn ed th a t trick. N ext give the cow plenty of salt. T rea t her kindly. T re a t her a s if she were your friend. T he cow house should be kept clean and sw eet a n d well ventilated. It Is Impossible to get good milk from a cow kept In a stable th a t is not clean. Sugar Beat Lands. E very observing man m ust have no ticed th a t the advent of the su g ar In dustry tu Colorado has surely bad au effervescing effect ou land values, and this is one of the m ost satisfacto ry fea tures arisin g from the business. We have seen land advance In price from $30 or $30 to $200 and $300 an acre, but wc m ust imagine th a t tho latter figure Is about the lim it when the e arning capacity of a farm Is based on its percentage of earning from a n nual crojis. T he effect of beet culture has been to bring dow n the average size' of the farm s to tw enty or th irty acres, but of coarse we still have m any of 100 and 300 in extent. As Intensive farm ing Is the rule, however, the or dinary grow er finds tw enty or th irty acres about nil he cau m ans go when p u t in beets, dependent, a s he Is, upon the uncertainties of such labor as may stray along. A nother sa lu ta ry effect has ticen the Im provem ent In cultural m ethods, nnd this Is show n tentatively In all o th er crops, says Denver Field and Farm . The introduction of alfalfa as a fertilizer to beet lands has proved a g re at stroke in advancing the science of fa n n in g , for the system Is gradually com ing Into nee In all other lines of farm production In places w here the fertility of the coil Is deteriorating. Keep the T eam s a t Work. T here can be little doubt th a t deeper plow ing will not only lesson th e tend ency of southern soils to w ash, but th a t ft will increase th e ir general produc tiv e capacity.
