It contains complete information as to the cost of the different phase of dairying @s conducted by farm- esr in three different parts of the state. It is reliable in that the state had @ man visit each farmevery day as a bookkeeper. The purpose was not to tell the farmer what to do, but to find out and to record jwst what he did do. The work was conducted at North- field, in the south central part of the state; at Marshall, in the south- western part of the state; and at Hal- stad. in the northwestern part of th state. From eight to ten farms were in the work in each section. The size of the farms averaged 169.15 acres at Northfield; 309.19 at Marshall; and 501.71 at Halstad. Th cows at Northfield were largely Hol- steins, at Marshall grade Shorthorns and at Halstad common stock and grade Shorthorns. The average uum- ber of cows to the farm kept at Northfield were 14; at Marshall, 9; and at Halstad, 11 on the small farm and 7 on the large farms. At Northfield the cost of feed per cow, grain, forage and pasture, was; $26.90. The ccst of both man and horse labor, and this included the hauling of the product to marke was $20.55 per cow. All other ex- penses, shelter, machinery and re pairs, interest on investment, depre- ciation in value, herd bull, and mis- cellaneous experses, amounted to $19.86 per cow. The above account of expenses is far beyond what is estimated by the average farmer, but the expense is |there just the same, when everythin |is taken into corsideration. The ac- count, of course, includes the labor of the farmer and other members of |the family who contribute any work |to the dairy. figures.

At Northfield in 1905 the total sales were only $7,988.03 from 123 cows: The total experse averaged $54.58 per cow. The great differ- ence brought about was due to im- provements made in the breed. From grade Shorthorns the farmers grad- ually changed their herds over to pure-bred Holsteirs. The sale of th ‘young stock became an important item in the profits of the dairy herd Records obtained at Marshall and Halstad showed that dairying was not as profitable as at Northfield. The records go to show that @ cow that produces only 4,000 pounds of milk a year will cause a loss of $116 to her owner during her life- time. A cow that produces 5,000 pouncis of milk in a year jis worth 825; a cow that produces 6,000 pounds of milk a year is worth $67; a cow that produces 7,000 pounds of milk a year is worth $108; a cow that produces 8,000 pounds of milk @ year is worth $150; a cow that produces 9,000 pounds of milk a year is worth $181; and a cow that rroduces 10,0C0 pounds of milk @ year is worth $230. A GOOD TIME FOR KILLING WEEDS The hot, dry days of the summer are best for killing weeds, especially those which have persistent under- ground roct-stalks and are perennial ‘ty nature. As soon as the early crops of hay, barley and rye are re- moved, operations should ve started which will kad to the eradication of such weeds as wild oats, mustard, quack-grass and thistles. After cutting the grain crops, it is a good plan to disk the land so @s to cover the seeds that have shattered out. This is especially useful treatment for land infested with wild oats. The disking is for the purpose of hasten- ing germination. Two or three weeks after disking, the land may be plowed at the ordinary depth and harrowed and disked frequently. Hay land can be plowed soon after the crop is removed, and if Canada this- tles or quack-gracs are present their growth will be seriously interrupted. Following plowing of the stubble or hay land, it becomes essential to double-disk the land once or twice per peek, depending on the growth ‘nade by weeds, so as to prevent them from establishing new root systems- The disking should be kept up until the 1st of September. It is difficult to give time for such operations during the busy haying and harvesting season, but anyone who has a patch of thistles or quackgrass that he wishes to eradi- cate can make much more progress during the hot weather of July and August than @t any other season of the year. The effort should be made to find time if possible The frequent disking and cultivation, to September 1st, will keep the quack- grass or thistle in subjection. By September 10 to 15, the field may be sown to rye. The rye grows quickly and strong, and will take possession of the land, «crowding back and choking the weeds during the fall season. The rye starts early in the spring also, before most weeds and keeps them in check during the early part of the next year. Such treatment, persistently followed, will Jead to comparatively clean fields in a very short time. Those who are following regular crop rotation, and who are providing such crops as parley, rye and clover, that will per- mit plowing and cultivation during the hot season are experiencing very little difficulty in completely clearing their fields of the noxious weeds.—Andrew Boss, Minnesota Ex- periment Station.
