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. B earing In m ind these
