Dairy Exhibits
in West States
Main Theme Is It Pavs to
Keep High-Producing
Cows.
(Prepared by tbe Vnlt^d States Department
of Agriculture.)
As a part of tin* extension program
on dallying in the western states the
United States Department of Agricul
ture has prepared three sets of dairy
exhibits, each different from the oth
ers, yet all vnupUasizum the same fun
damental factors underlying success
ful dairying., The main theme in
these exhibits is, it pays to keep good
high-producing cows and feed them
v ell.
What Exhibits Show.
>ne exhibit gives the results of cow
t*'>ting association studies. It shows
‘a poor cow. representing it large group,
that averaged 1 o' 1 pounds of ImHerfitt
;i yt'ar. with tin -income over feed cost
of hilly S-JC, per cow. Contrasted with
this is a good cow, representttig ;tn
other huge .group, that averaged .‘h•»•

timers hail to hotist*. fet»i|, iitid-J’iti'e
for throe eow s to get the same ificome
over cost of feet! that .the owner ol
the good cows got Irom out*.
Ttiest* «>\hihits also show that the
way to get high producers is to use
good hulls, keep records of produc
tion cull the herd, ami raise heifl»rs
from the best cows. Having got good
cows, the suggestions art* made to feed
liberally, have good pastures anti use
them properly, provide silage for win
ter feeding, and be sure the ration
contains sutlicient mineral matter,
which It is suggested should hi* sup
plied by feeding plenty of alfalfa, ( lo
ver, or other legume hay.
Work for High Quality.
One part "f these exhibits emphti
sizes the importiknee of producing
(fairy products of the best quality.
High quality Is associated witli such
fundamental practices as clean cows,
small-top milking pails, thorough wasTi
ing and steaming of utensils, quick
eooltag of the milk or cream to low
temperatures, and finally quick- and
frequent delivery to market
Another section ' compares dairy
cows with a single and dotthh* t raci,
railroad ,\s the double trek railroad
does more than twice the business of
a single-track railroad, so the cow that
produces Ihxi pounds of hutterfat a
year yields more than twice as much

Anthrax Breaks Out
in Several States
Cattle and Sheep Are Most
Susceptible to Disease.
(Pr^^areil by tht* United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Anthntx, an acute Infectious disease
affecting animals and occasionally
man, has broken out in several south
ern and western states, the United
States Department of Agriculture an
nounces. Reports from veterinarians
of the bureau <>f animal industry show
that tin* most serious outbreaks have
occurred, in Mississippi, Louisiana,
Arkansas, Texas and South Dakota.
Cattle and sheep are most suscept
ible, but none of the domestic animals
are exempt. Anthrax is caused by a
germ which multiplies rapidly in the
liody, especially in the blood, and pro-,
duces poisonous substance’s- which
cause death. The germs probably arc
ino'd. commonly taken in with food,
though tla-v mav gain ent fa nee also

The symptoms of anthrax vary gnlit-

is by prevention. Toe preventive

Milwaukee, Wisconsin.—** After I

cook books, and found one of your

KNITTED SUIT SURE OF POPULARITY
Frequent Cultivations ■
Essential for Potatoes*
Potatoes are a quick crop in growth.
fTehee they require very frequent cul
tivation for best growth and maturity.
Most farmers do not culti.vate their
potatoes often enough to make the
crop as profitable as it miitht be.
Three or four cultivation- will keep

it requires six or eight or more cul

Even cultivation probably pays bet

enltivatihns are practically the mih
means by which tin* fcioisjure can be

Goslings Get Diarrhea
Goslings sometimes have diarrhea

heavy feeding with sloppy mushes or
drinking stagnant water that is quite
unclean. A good mash for goslings

bran, middlings and rolled oats mixed
with skim milk. Perform a pox'mortem
on any goslings that die, and note the
condition of the internal organs and

little trouble raising goslings when
they have plenty of fresh g on grass,
