FOOD REQUIREMENTS OF COW
Retulti Given of Stud of Depart
ment of Agriculture and
Purdue University.
(Prepared by the United Stte Depart
ment ot Agrti-ultun? I
Bossle ts one of the champion con
sumers of the universe, voni;nj to
results of studies of the United S;a:es
d.'Prtinent of agriculture and l'nniiie
university in the neighborhood of Por
ter county, Indiana, where Uncle S;(in
kept tab for two years ou the food
requirements of about iWS cows that
were producing market milk for Chi
cago. As cow living expenses have
Increased proportionally to those of
the human family, these results are
notable as an index to which the aver
age dairyman or the owner of a fam
ily cow can refer in "doping out" the
menus and amounts of fei-d which his
animal or animals require.
The grand average maintenance and
production ration for the good grade
cow yielding about 7,000 pounds of

milk a year Included 2,046 pounds of
grain, as well as 3.J01 pounds of hay ;
and corn stover, 7.276 pouuds ol sil
age, and 720 pounds of straw for bed- ,
ding. The average cow required a lit- j
tie less than 14 acres of good pasture
to furnish grazing for six months of
the year. To keep her in proper con
dition and to milk and feed her regu
larly required 164.5 hours of human
labor, as well as 16.2 hours of horsa
labor to haul the milk.
The studies In Indiana showed that
the annual overhead charges for Bos
le aggregate $27.11. inclusive of the '
Interest, depreciation, and taxes on
buildings, cattle, and equipment, as
well as miscellaneous expenses, such
as provision and maintenance of cans, j
palls, dippers, shovels, forks, scoops,
lanterns, and the like, medicine and :
veterinary costs, fly sprays, gas en-
gines, windmill and milk wagon re-
pairs, and similar Items. The cost of
bull sen-Ice, tuberculin-testing ex
penses, and cow-testing dues are also
Included.
The tests show that a calf crop of
approximately S7 per cent Is usually
raised, so that each cow is credited
with the production of 0.S7 of one
calf, as well a. the providing of 6.8
tons of manure, which is hauled to the
fields as fertilizer.
Massed together under one roof, the
grain and coarse feed which Bossie
will eat in one year would fill a small j
barn. Generally speaking, high pro
duction of milk is closely associated
with a large and healthy cow appe
tite, and the dairyman who closes his
accounting records at the year's end
with the maximum net return is the
man who provides the greatest va
riety and a proper mixture of the
goodies of the cow world for te bos
sies of his herd according to their In
dividual production and capacity.
RETTER LIVE STOCK DESIRED
Authentic Incidents Related Showing
What May Be Expected From
Improved Methods,
(Prcrared &y the United States Depart
ment of Afrriculture.)
The following authenticated Inci
dents are cited by the United States
department of agriculture In Its "Bet
ter Sires Better Stock" campaign to
show what American farmers and
stockmen may expect through im
proved methods of breedlug aud han
dling animals.
One Cow Equals Five. A New Jer
sey boy was influenced to buy a high
grade cow for $1, The cow on fresh
ening gave 24 quarts of milk and kept
It up for a long period. The father
owned five cows, the average for the
neighborhood. They were fresh In the
spring. Their product did not equal
the product of the cow owned by the
son five times the labor and five
times the feed, in comparison with one
good cow.
High-Class Bully Beef. An Oklaho
ma farmer had two registered Short
horn yearling bulls that he priced at
$100 each for breeding purposes. A
butcher saw the bulls, asked the price,
but learned that they were registered
and that It would take $100 each to
buy them. He bought them, killed
them, and stated that they were the
cheapest cattle he had bought for
some time, because they cut the better
kinds of beef and more of It.
Valuable Stock Valuable Offspring.
In several counties of North Caro
lina more purebred live stock has been
purchased during the past year at the
higher prices which have prevailed
than In any other year. Hogs were
never so high, and yet hundreds of
boys bought purebred pigs at high
prices with the expectation of selling
their offspring. Through the county
agents many hundreds of pigs bred by
the boys have been sold at good prices
and this is stimulating the extension
of purebred hogs.
Better Poultry More Meat In a
southern community, following the In
troduction of well-bred poultry for
breeding, there was noticeable lm-

CHEAP FLY PAINT FOR COWS
Formula Given by Expert of Kansas
Agricultural College Apply It
With Brush When Cool.
It Is often cheaper and easier to buy
the mixture rather than make It for
a few cows, but If you want to make
It yourself here Is the formula as
given by George A. Dean, professor of
entomology In the Kansas Agricultural
college :
For cattle use two parts of pulver
ized resin, one part of soap shavings,
one-half part of water, one part of
kerosene, one part oil of tar, one part
fish oil, three parts water.
In making this boll the resin, soap
and one-half part of ater until the
resin Is dissolved and then add the
three parts water, oil of tar, kerosene
and fish oil, and boll well for 15 min
utes, being careful to keep the mixture
well stirred. Put It on with a brush
when cool. In using this mixture It
will be necessary to make an applica
tion every day for two or three days,
and after this once every three or five
days Is sufficient.
Live Stock
two Notes
Keep the pigs warm and dry.
A dry pen, with plenty of straw Is
a pig's idea of paradise.
This is the season of the year when
a persistent effort had better be di
rected to ridding hogs of mange and
lice.
It is an almost Invariable rule that
a bull which is given free range In a
pasture with the herd of cows Is not
safe and grows less so every season he
runs loose.

HI
Home Builders!!
YOUR OPPORTUNITY IS HERE
I have long since believed that one of
the first and most necessary requisites foi
the upbuilding of a community is good
wholesome water. Now that Hoppiicr pro
poses to supply this factor, and having of
ten been requested to sell building sites out
of my East Side property, I have concluded
to put it on the market for sale-in lots and
blocks, and the plat is now Hearing comple
tion under the supervision of Mr. S. C. Mar
tin, a Civil Engineer of wide experience.
The tract is easily accessible, has a fine
view and its subdivision makes it desirable
as home sites. One of these days you will
want u home in Heppner. Why not buy a
lot now when it can be had at a reasonable
price, on very easy terms, and in what is
surely destined to be a most beautiful resi
dential district.
If you have never walked up on the hill
do so now. You will be surprised at the
beauty of the location with a view scarcely
anticipated, Mt. Hood being clearly outlin
ed in the distance. Candidly, I am surpris
ed and much gratified at the easy grades
possible to reach the property, as worked
out by Mr. Martin, who is on the ground,
and who will be pleased to give any infor
mation concerning the plat.
Perhaps it is not entirely out of place
to say that in platting this property I am
as much interested in making it a beautiful
home site as I am in the profit that may be
realized, but I do not want any one to buy
unless they feel it will be profitable to do
so. Nevertheless, I have no hesitancy in
saying that in my opinion, before you have
made your last payment, under the liberal
terms 1 propose to offer, the lots will have
greatly enhanced in value.
Watch this space for subsequent information.
