Find Pure-Bred
Cows Now Excel
Surpass Grades in Most
Economical Production of
Butterfat and Milk.
trrspsrvd b7 lk? Cnll.d stmtas Dvpsrtmnt
?( AlrtcullHi* t
The statement to eoinetlmee Dade
that trade dairy cows produce ae
much milk and butterfat per cow as
pure bred a. Even wbeu It to admit
ted that pure breds produce more than
grades, It to aometlmes claimed that
the gradea produce more economically.
Such conclusions, according to Dr. J.
C. McDowell, dairy husbandman of the
United 8tates Department of Agricul
ture, hare aa a rule been baaed on
general observations or on a compara
tively amall number of records.
Pure Breda Excel tirades.
Aa a matter of fact, after comparing
the records of 20,307 pure-bred cows
and 71,745 grades In dnlry-herd-lm
provement associations, Doctor Mc
Dowell finds that these pure breds ex
celled the grades In both production
and In Income over coat of feed by
7 to 10 per cent. The results of this
study are discussed in Circular 26-C,
"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 314.52, or 23 per
cent, worth of feed more per cow than
the grades. They produced 10.8 per
cent more milk and 0.7 per cent more
butterfat than the grades, and in year
ly Income over cost of food tliey ex
celled the grades by 0.7 per cent, or
18.06 per cow.
Closer Culling In Grades.
The record showed that the pure
breds, on the average, excelled the
grades In milk production until the
age of thirteen years, In butterfat pro
duction until the age of eleven years,
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 practice of
closer culling In grade herds than In
pure-bred herds. It to obvious that
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 la not so generally practiced
on a production basis. Close culling
to practiced In grade herds but the
pure-bred herd Is Improved largely
through breeding.
Owners of either sort can draw a
lesson from these facte, says Doctor
McDowell. Closer culling Is Important
In pure-bred herds and better breeding
to essential In grade herds.
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 la good hogs. The
breed selected does not make so much
difference, but It is fundamentally Im
portant to obtain good Individuals for
the foundation stock, writes Edgar
Martin, Id the Prairie Farmer. A gr.od
beginning pays In future years.
Sows should be bred for two titter*
a year, each aow raising five or more
pigs per litter. The pigs should be
farrowed In February or March for
spring and August or September for
fall Utters. 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
weighing 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 la desired for breeding stock,
begs should be full-fed from farrow
ing until sent across the scales to
market

Bean Diseases and
Control Measures
Simple Rules Will Obviate
Lose While in Transit
ITrtvr+4 kj> I ha OBItkU lUM DnarlMl
?f Aarlealtara.*
four simple nilcs thai will obviate
much of the lose to snap beans lir tran
sit appear In a leaflet Just issued bjr
the United States Department of Ag
riculture as Miscellaneous Publication
16-M, "Save the Beans." The rules
are:
L Pick beans, if practicable, when
the vines are dry. Beane packed dry
are not so likely to decay aa wet ones.
Moreover, picking beans and cultivat
ing fields when the beans are wet
favor the spread of such diseases aa
bllgbt and antbracnose.
2. Sort the beans. Spread tbem on
canvas or burlap racks, then discard
all thoee 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 tbey
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 (antbracnose, bacterial
blight, mosaic, powdery mildew, root
rot, and rust), briefly gives the chief
symptoms, and the available measures
for control. "Nesting" diseases are
briefly mentioned.

Useful Type of Calves
for Making Baby Beef
Cakes to qualify as baby beef must
have quality and finish. The consumer
does not want the unfinished year
line, and the calf that does not bare
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
good enough to compete on the fat
yearling market, and If be decides
that they are not, they should be fin
ished otf on coarser feeds for a later
market
The wide, deep-bodied, thlck-fleshed
calf with short 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 he
overlooked, because such factors are
an advantage In marketing.
Hog Pasture Rotation
Practiced in Illinois
In following ont his sanitary bog
raising plsn, 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 by two years of alfalfa, then
two years of corn. On this particular
farm'each lot contains about five acres
and 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 boghouses
provide shade and shelter, and the
litters are moved out of the farrow
ing house to the. pasture as soon as
weather permits.
The seeped year alfalfa Is pastured
with cattle. tJsuully both crops 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 soil
blgh In fertility and organic matter.

Influence of Milk on
Production of EggB
To demonstrate how milk sotlda af

Woods. In a recent article. la the
Waverly Four poultry magazines, sag
tests this test: "When they are lay

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 milk freely and note bow prompt

high lerel. . . . With ample milk a
good egg yield, with no milk a greatly

Needed in Child'* Diet
Both vegetable! and fruits supply
the body with Iron, lime and other
mineral matter, and some protein and
body fuel as well as mild acids. They
are particularly necessary In the diet
of children, says the United States De
partment of Agrlcultore. They should
be served at least once a day, as they
help to keep the bowels In good con
dition. Vegetables may be used as
flavoring for soups and stews, may be
added to milk or meat stews, or
served with meat gravy. If gravy Is
osed. do not have it too fat nor make
It with scorched fat
Ft ding th? Canary
The food requirement* of canaries
are simple. Can*rj seed to which
have been added rape seed and a little
hemp Is a staple diet that persons who
keep onlj a few birds usually pur
chase read; mixed. Canary seed alone
does not furnish a balanced food, but
forms a good combination with hemp
and summer rape. Much of the rape
seed in prepared seed sold In cartons
Is of a species that even wild birds do
not eat, as It Is pungent and bitter la
flavor, but all relish the mild taste of
true summer rape.

almost everywhere, by the middle of
April, berries from some market are
to be had. Strawberry Ice cream Is
almost as popular as strawberry
sho/tcake, and tbe family will enjoy
It as often as you can make It by the
