.INVESTMENT IN POOR COWS (Milk Producer Must Stop Guessing and Bc Certain cf Results-Much Money ls Wasted. Chief obstacles in successful dairy ing are lack of well balanced, in tensive methods and not applying busi ness principles. The milk producer must stop guessing and know for sure what the results will be and adopt the ways of most profit. Large sums of money are invested .in many acres of land, extensive and Excellent Milk Producers on Pasture. expensive buildings, costly horses, tools and machinery, high-priced feed and labcr, and all of this outlay turned to raising crops that do not yield any thing lP.:e the amount of digestible nutrients per acre that should and could be obtained, and to feeding and poorly caring for a herd of poor cows utterly unable to return a profit. The same expenditure of money and labor bestowed in an intelligent man ner upon the same farm and an effi cient dairy herd would return a hand some profit. BEST SiZZ OF SILO TO BUILD Not Advisatss to Construct Recep tacle With Diameter Over Twenty Feet-Right Height In building a silo one should plan well the width o? the silo. If the silo is too wide for t.ie number of stock to be fed from it daily, there will not be a sufficient amount of silage taken from the silo per day, especially in warm weather, to iteep the silage from spoiling. A depth of 2 to 2 Vz inches of silage should be. taken from the silo per day during the winter months, and a depth of three inches per day during the warm summer months. If the stock on a farm is equivalent to from ten to fifteen cows, the silo should have a diameter of about ten feet; if equivalent to fifteen to twenty five cows, a diameter of about twelve feet; if equivalent to twenty-five to thirty-five cows, a diameter of about rfifteen feet; if equivalent to thirty-five :to forty-five cows, a diameter of six teen feet; if equivalent to forty-five to :Sixty-iive cows, a diameter of eighteen (feet; if equivalent to sixiv-flve to sev ienty-five cows, a diameter of eighteen 'feet. For a herd of sever..y-five cows ?or over the diameter can be from ?eighteen to twenty feet. It is not advisable to build a silo ^with the diameter over twenty feet. It lis a general rule not to make the ;height of the silo less than twice or ?more tha:i three times the diameter. .PLAN FOR DEHORNING CATTLE illustration Shows How the Head of Animal is Held While Operation Is Being Performed.
