COW-TESTING IS PROFITABLE
Best Scientific Agency for liolatlng
and Eradicating Dronei From
Dairy Herd.
(Prepared, by the United Btatee Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Practical reports from the various
cow-testlnK . associations throughout
the country flhow the value of this
work of separating the chaff from the
wheat In cowdora. The modern cow
tenting association la the bent scientific
ager.cy for Isolating and eradicating
the drones from the herd, while It also
Is of value as a detector of the highest
producing animals. Such studies of
the cow's appetite, digestion and pro
duction are the economical and logical
methods of Increasing the net earn
ings of the dairy.
One Ohio cow-testing association,
whose members owned 385 cows lual
year, reports an association average of
845 pounds of butterfat per cow, and
that the present production of the
cows is 72 pounds of fut more apiece
than It was at the first of the year.
Another cow-testing association an
nounces that its expenses during the
last five years have been below $4,000
while the value of the Increased pro
duction during only the last year 1ms
aggregated over $11,000. This remark
able Increase In Income Is not abnor
mal for this particular association as
during each year the production of the
cows has Improved and the returns
greatly Increased. Members from an
other association reimrt that all other
cow owners are feeding the Individual
animals according to the capacity and
production of each cow.' This is a re-

markahle change from conditions a
few years back when the cows' feed
boxes at mealtime always contained
the snme allowance of feed.
"There Is certainly all the difference
In the world between bulls," comments
a member of a successful bull club.
"Do you recollect that old 'Bonnie' cow
of mine whose record was only 5-17
pounds of fat? I have raised three
heifers from her, the best of which
produced 715 pounds of fat during the
Inst year, while the other two heifers,
which are younger, yielded respective
ly, 8fi3 nnd SlU pounds of fat. These
heifers were sired by different pure
bred bulls and evidently the difference
In the qualifications of the sires as re
gards fat production Is nptly character
ized In the production of their daughters."
RETAIN ALL DAIRY ANIMALS
Mora People Than Ever In Country to
Feed and Milk Will Be Used If
Price Is Fair.
There are more people to feed than
ever In this country nnd If prices can
be brought to a point where they can
afford to buy they will buy and use a
grent deal more milk than they did.
As for selling of dairy cows, think how
disastrous It would be. Many do not
even now get as much milk as they
would like, and thousands and thou
sands of pounds of butter substitutes
are used every year.
HERD. BULL REQUIRES GRAIN
Good Ration Is Composed of Oats,
Barley or Speltz, Bran, Ollmeal
and Wild Hay.
A herd bull In heavy service should
be fed grain. A ration composed of
6 pnrts oats, 2 parts of barley or spelts,
2 pnrls of bran, 1 part of ollmeal, to
gether with good upland wild hay
makes a good ration.

FEEDING CORN OR MOUSSES
Both Are Rich in Heat-Producing Ele
ments and Relatively Low
in Protein.
Corn and molasses are about the
same In composition. Both are rich
In carbohydrates, or heat-producing
elements and relatively low In protein.
Molasses Is not quite as valuable as
a feed as corn, but when the price of
com Is $35 or $40 per ton, as it is in
some places, and molasses $25 or $30,
the latter is cheaper feed. The dairy
cow may be fed three to Ave pounds of
molasses daily. More than this tends
to lessen the 'digestibility of the other
feeds In the ration. Molasses Is very
palatable to the animal and will al
ways produce a sleek coat when fed.

Although the plan Is not capable of
wide application, the tale of a sinks
in central Africa, told by an csplorins:
member of the English Itoval Aniline
nologlrul Institute, is pNnwrit reading
for the promptness with which the
matter was settled. Tie- explorer was
Journeying by water and, coming to
an African village where he needed a
new relay of paddlers, he found that
all the available peddlers hud "struck,"
not for higher wages but against nny
Middling whatever. The expedition
was held up, and the uu-ti who refused
to paddle stood npart and evidently
considered the plight of the explorer
a matter of considerable unsympa
thetic amusement The explorer, how
ever, thought he saw a way out He
asked some of the women of the vil
lage to come alxiaid his boat and sell
him fyod; and as soon as several of
them were on board he unfastened the
hawser, the boat swung out from the
shore and began to travel with the
current Ashore and afloat anxiety
followed. Presently the men who had
refused to paddle the explorer were
paddling their own little canoes In
pursuit and volubly demanding the
return to their womenfolk. The larger
craft, and presumably the armament
of the traveler gave him an advantage.
He was able to Issue an ultimatum.
No women, he said In effect without
paddlers. but one woman for every

WATCH WINTER FEED OF COW
Very Easy to Have Grain Ration So
High That It Won't Pay for
Itself In Milk.
The feeding of rows for milk will
need to be watched more closely than
ever this winter. With cows such as
they run, It Is very easy to have the
grain ration so high that It will not
pay for Itself In milk or cream. A
very successful eastern dairyman
feeds his cows only alfalfa hay and
silage with a very little ollmeal, limit
ing the sllnge to 25 pounds a day to
the cow and 20 pounds a day to the
heifer, thus getting them to eat more
alfalfa. He admits that dairymen
feeding grain will beat him In amount
of milk produced, but says that his
business Is turned at a greater profit.
Doubtless true nnd he Is also putting
all his cows Into advanced registry.
BETTER BREEDING BIG HELP
Most Economical Way Furnished to
Obtain Large-Producing Cows
Use Best Heifers.
(Prepared nv the fnlteil PUtes Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
In dairying large production nnd
profit go hand In hand. Breeding fur
nishes the most economical way to
obtain large-producing cows. The pure
bred bull, with generation:- of high
producing ancestors back of him, must
be used for breeding, and only the
best heifers from the best cows should
be chosen to be the dams of the next
generation.
DEAL ONLY WITH DAIRYMEN
Not Safe to Buy Dairy Animals at
Stock Yards Calves, Physically
Unfit May Result
In buying dairy animals It Is Im
portant to deal only with dairymen
Do not buy from men who purchase
cmIv, s ui slock yards to ship back to
the farmers, because It Is not alway
possible to determine the breeding of
the calves; nnd calves thnt are phys

PUREBRED BULLS VS. SCRUBS
Early Rewards Clearly Indicated to
Stock Raiser From Using
Purebred 8iree.
(Prepared by the United States Depart

A few calculations In fractions Indi
cate clearly the early rewards to the
stock raiser from breeding with pure
bred sires Instead of grade sires. The
bureau of animal Industry, which Is
sponsoring the nation-wide "bettor
sires, better stock" campaign, calls at
tention to a series of diagrams Issued
In Wisconsin which show the prog
ress of breeding native cows for live
generations with purebred bulls, com
pared with five generations of breed

Afler live or, In fact, nny number
of generations of such breeding, the

Bones for the Tuberculous.
Hones as a diet for human helnsrs
may sound rather strange, but In cns-s
of tuberculosis Doctor Rtrthler of
Paris has found them highly beneficial.
It Is the spongy or cancellous parts of
veal bones that he uses. These are
about one-half ossein, which Is laden
with phosphates and carbonates of
lime, these salts being much needed
by tutierculous persons, who always
suffer from decalcification.
Doctor Berthier describes In a bul
letin of the Academie de Medicine
how he prepares the bones. He se
lects the short, spongy bones, splits
them, boils them with vegetables, salt
and a piece of meat for almost six
hours and then lets his patients pick
out with their forkB as much of the
soft bony matter as they can.
Another benefit derived from the
bones is that they help to prevent de
cay of the teeth.

Transportation
Is Essential
To Business
The demand upon transportation
will be greater during the New Year
than ever before in history not
even excepting 1918.
Are you equipped to meet this de
mand? If you are not properly pre
pared there is no question but that
you will handicap your industry.
Your competitors are awake.
They have learned the advantages
of highway transport as represent
ed by the motor truck.
Mack Trucks
The Solution
By equipping with MACE trucks
you can safeguard your interests
against possible stagnation. You
will be independent of railroads.
Your trucks should be MACES,
because MACES are of proven
quality. The MACE of 1920 will be
the same as the MACE of 1919, as
the MACE of 1918 and previous
yearsK You run no chance of the
truck becoming antiquated. This
will protect you in building up a
