U\if\a-"‘, RERRES ) CHARLTON COUNTY HERALD Mac Is Staying I.at'e» Find Pure-Bred Cows Now Excel 4 3 L W Surpass Grades in Most "Economical Production of F ~ Butterfat and Milk. f’f’revared by ths United States Department i of Agriculture.) . The statement 1s sometimes made I’~’~thghat grade dairy cows produce as Umuch milk and butterfat per cow as pure breds. Even when it is admit ted that pure breds produce more than | grades, it is sometimes claimed that the grades produce more economically. -f"éuch eonclusions, according to Dr. J, -, McDowell, dziry husbandman of the United States Department of Agricul ‘ure, have as a rule been based on | geperal observations or on a compara- V;fively small number of records. . " Pure Breds Excel Grades. ' As a matter of fact, after compariny (the records of 29,397 pure-bred cows and 71,745 grades in dairy-herd-im provement associations, Doctor Me- Dowell finds that these pure breds ex elledythe grades in both production and in income over cost of feed by 7 to 10 per cent., The results of this study are discussed in Circular 26-C, l“Comparison of Pure Bred and Grade Dairy Cows,” just issued by the de partment. On an average, in one year the pure breds of all ages ate $14.52, or 23 per cent, worth of feed more per cow than ‘rthe grades. They produced 10.6 per - ¢ent more milk and 6.7 per cent more ‘ butterfat than the grades, and in year fly income over cost of food they ex eelled the grades by 9.7 per cent, or $8.66 per cow. } Closer Culling in Grades. } The record showed that the purae Fhreds, on the average, excelled the grades in milk production until the age of thirteen years, in butterfat pro duction until the age of eleven ycars, and in income over cost of feed per cow until the age of eleven years, Aft er these ages the grades slightly ex celled the pure breds. Doctor McDow ell attributes this to the praciice of closer culling in grade herds than in oure-bred herds. It is obvious thst culling out the low producers from the grade herds Is largely responsible for only producers reaching the aged group. In pure-bred herds, however. culling is not so genrerally practiced on a production busis, Close culling is practiced in, grade herds but the pure-bred herd is improved largely through breeding. Owners of either sort can draw a from these facts, says Doctor [¢Dowell, Closer culling uw pure-bied herds antl better breeding J§ essential in grade herds. y A copy of the circular may be ob tained from the United States Depart ment of Agriculture, Washington, D. C. Right Breeding Stock Is Important Factor One of the first.essentials of profit able hog production is good hogs. The breed selected does not make so much difterence, but it is fundamentally im portant to obtain good individuals. for the foundation stock, writes Edgar Martin, in the Prairie Farmer. A gcod beginning pays in future years. Sows should be bred for two litters a year, each sow raising five or more pigs per litter. The pigs should be farrowed in February or March for spring and August or September for fall litters. The spring pigs should go to market the following September or October and the fall pigs during the following March or April, Good feeding and care will be re quired to send good pigs to market welghing 200 pounds or more, as early as September or April. It will pay, however, since after October and April the price may be expected to decline. For most profitable results, except what is desired for breeding stock, hogs should be full-fed from farrow fng until sent across the scales to market. : iAgncultural Squibs g Neglect rather than use puts most farm machinery In the Junk pile, .

(Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Four simple rules that will obviate much of the loss to snap beans in tran sit appear in a leaflet just issued by the United States Department of Ag riculture as Miscellaneous Publication 16-M, “Save the Beans,” The rules are: -1, Pick beans, if practicable, when the vines are dry. Beans packed dry are not so likely to decay as .wet ones. Moreover, picking beans and cultivat ing fields when the beans are wet favor the spread of such diseases as blight and anthracnose. 2. Sort the beans, Spread them on canvas or burlap racks, then discard all those showing blemishes or wounds of any kind. These blemishes are usually caused by decay-producing or ganisms which develop rapidly in con tainers. Insect-injured and broken beans should be removed, since they provide an opportunity for the en trance of organisms which cause de cay. These blemishes and wounds fre quently originate in the field while the beans are still on the vine, 3. Keep the harvested beans out of the sun and rain while awaiting trans portation. Decay is more rapid when the beans are warm in the presence of abundant moisture. Wet beans in a container dry slowly, if at all. They are likely to get warmer rather than cooler. 4. Keep the beans cool. The leaflet also lists six common bean diseases (anthracnose, bacterial blight, mosaie, powdery mildew, root rot, and rust), briefly gives the chiet symptoms, sand the available measures for control, “Nesting” diseases are briefly mentioned. The leaflet may be proecured by ap plying to the Department of Agricul ture, Washington, D. C. Useful Type of Calves for Making Baby Beef Calves to qualify as baby beef must have quality and finish, The consumer does not want the unfinished year ling, and the calf that does not have quality will not take on a high finish. Neither will the calf lacking in early maturing qualities fatten during the latter part of the feeding period, but instead it will use most of the feed which it consumes for growth. Keep ing this in mind, the feeder should first determine whether his calves are zagd enough to compete on the fat {enrllag”‘ market, and if he Jecides that they are not, they should be fin ished off on coarser feeds for a later market. The wide, deep-bodied, thick-fleshed calf with shert legs and an abun dance of quality as indicated by fine ness of hair, texture of skin, smooth ness of flesh, and general refinement about the head and other parts of the body is the type best suited for mak ing prime baby beef, Uniformity in size, weight, and color should not be overlooked, because such factors are an advantage in marketing. Hog Pasture Rotation Practiced in Illinois In following out his sanitary hog raising plan, Bert Kellogg of Kendall county, Illinois, uses a five-year rota tion, writes Earl Price in Farm Life. Each field has spring wheat, or some other spring-sown small grain, followed hy two years of alfalfa, then two years of corn. On this particular farm each lot contains about five acres und all are located near the barns so that feed and water are convenient, The first year, alfalfa is always used as the “sanitary” pasture for the spring pigs. Portable hoghouses provide shade and shelter, and the litters are moved out of the farrow ing house to the pasture as soon as weather permits, The second year alfalfa is pastured with cattle, Usually both erops of corn are supplemented with soy beans and “hogged off.,” In preparing for the spring grain the second year corn stalks are either plowed under or thoroughly disked. Mr. Kellogg finds that pasturing with hogs and the use of alfalfa two years out of the five, keeps his soll high in fertility and organic matter, Influence of Milk on Production of Eggs To demonstrate how milk solids af fect egg production, Dr. Prince T. Woods, In a recent article in the Waverly Four poultry magazines, sug. gosts this test: “When they are lay ing freely, stop the milk entirely for three days. The falling off in egg yield following the stopping of milk will be so abrupt that you will not fail to notice It. Then begin again to feed wilk freely and note how prompt. ly the ege yield returns to the former high tevel. . . . With ample milk a good exg yield, with no milk a greatly reduced egg yield," Dry skim milk Is the ideal form of milk for poultry, Individuality of Hens Some hens have a lively, contented, peaceful disposition, while others are a 8 grouchy as old sin, Some hens will complete a hateh and leave thelr nests as clean as they were when starting to hateh, and others will have the nest all torn up and befouled, and the eggs broken.
