BPPRPRPERIFRBRII IR P THE GREAT COST OF SCRUB DAIRY SIRES In taking a birdseye view of the dairy status in the United States we see about 22,000,000 cows In active service, writes a correspondent of Hoard's Dalryman. One-third of this vast army does not even pay its board, to say nothing of making a profit; the second one-third barely breaks even, while only the remaining one-third makes a profit. Why do these conditions exist? Feed. care and breed are the important fac tors to determine dairy production. But granted that proper feed is sup: plied and the best of care given, the maximum dairy production is impos- sible unless the cow has a dairy ca- pacity, dairy conformation and dairy temperament. How can these best be secured? TFeed and care, unlike above, are but minor factors. Breeding is the supreme factor. It is said, “The sire is half of the herd, and if a poor one he is the whole of it.” This suggests the possible cause of the many millions of poor cows—scrub sires, Inferior sires—with reference to dairy conformation and dairy produc- tion of their ancestors. The lamentable and astounding fact of the situation is that so many farm- ers and dairymen consider the price of a registered dairy sire too high for them to pay. Let us credit the daughters of a reg- istered dairy sire with a production of one and a half pounds of milk per milk- ‘The Holstein-Frieslan cow is the most wonderful of milk producers, not only as measured In quantity of milk, but also in quantity of to- tal solids. In short time tests 256 cows have produced above 650 pounds of milk in seven days, the average per cow being 685.8 pounds of milk, containing 23.053 pounds of butter fat. The cow shown is a typical Holstein. ing above those of a scrub sire. This makes three pounds per day, ninety pounds per month and 900 pounds in ten months, which is easily in keeping with the above findings. This milk at the usual price is worth about $15. Or credit them with a gain of sixty pounds of butter at 25 cents per pound, which is equal to $15, as an annual gain from every daughter of the pure bred sire. In a herd of twenty cows an average of ten heifers might be expected per year; in three years, ordinarily the life of a bull, thirty heifers. An annual gain of $15 per head equals $450 for the thirty in one year, in three years $1,350, to say nothing of their future years of greater usefulness and of their greater value individually. Here we have a difference of $1,350 which the pure bred sire produced or which the scrub sire failed to produce, and that is what he cost us. Think of it, $1,350 for a scrubby, worthless, rob- ber sire! ORPET CASE IS OPENED; TWO WITNESSES CALLED Waukegon, Ill, June 9.—The first two witnesses at the trial of Will Or- pet, University of Wisconsin student charged with the murder of Marion Lambert, former sweet heart, were called late yesterday. They were J. B. Ford, a civil engineer, who ex- plained with the aid of a plat the territory surrounding the scene of XX LSS XL X2 L THE DAIRYMAN. The skillful breeder does not need to have it pointed out to him that the bull is half the herd. Clean the calf pen often and put in a liberal supply of dry straw for bedding. The quality of the salt has very much to do with the making of prime butter. . Skimmilk fed to calves should be supplemented by oats, bran, cornmeal and hay and pasture. In the management of all cows there should be as little excite- ment as possible.

Makes an Excellent Early Ration For the Dairy Herd. Rye is especially well adapted to solling purposes for the dairy, writes Professor Nicholas Schmitz of Mary- land in the Orange Judd Farmer. Be- sides being very palatable when cut at the proper stage of maturity, it is as well balanced in its food constituents as a green feed and is the first crop available for green feeding'in the spring. Used in this way.it not only maintains the milk flow, but will most always increase it. In order that the best results may be obtained from rye as a green forage cutting begins a few days before it starts to head and continues until it is in full head or bloom. During this stage of growth it is the most palata- “ble to dairy cows and the yield is suffi- clent to justify its use, while if its use is attempted much after this period it is not sufficiently palatable to be eaten readily. The total yield of protein on the acre of rye of average yield, seven tons, is equal to that contained in one ton of bran. The carbohydrates are equal to nearly two tons of bran. As is the case with all new green feeds, it is not advisable to give cows all they usually require at the start. Thirty pounds a day will be enough to start on. This is increased until about the third day a thousand pound cow is getting sixty pounds, equal to ten pounds of dry matter, or nearly half the amount re- quired by a cow in full flow of milk. There are said to be 800 uses for the palmyra palm, which grows throughout tropical India. Honest Abe Grossman Copyright Hart Schallner & Marx Stout Men! Tall Men! Slim Men! Short Stocky Men!
