Selection of the dairy-herd Aire la perhaps the most important Tact or to be considered in the development of a high-producing, economical dalr.v herd, says G. A. Smith, extension dairyman at the Colorado"Agricul turn I college. Cow testing association records so far tabulated throughout the United States show, he says, that about onethird of the pure-bred sires arc lowering the production of their"daugh ters in comparison with the production of the dams of those daughters; about one-third are raising the production slightly f but the great increases are coming from only the remaining third of the sires in use. The higher the production of the herd, the more difficult it is to raise production through the sire, and the greater the need for using a bull of proved ability, it Is pointed out. ' Economical production of milk is an important factor in profitable dairying," Mr. Smith emphasizes, "and cow testing association " records are showing the way to such economical production. Continued practice of close selection, coupled with better feeding and management, will raise the average production of our dairy cows with a corresponding Increase in the economy, of that production. But still greater improvement may be made by paying close attention to the quality of the herd sire." S. H. Freund & Son I Cow Forced to Depend Upon Pasture for Feed Spring and summer are the seasons when many farmers "put their .eows in the milk pail." They do this by trying to keep cows on either t6o green or tdo ripe pasture. Green grass carries better than 85 per cent water and a cow cannot consume nough of it to provide the substances necessary for milk production. For the average cow, it would be necessary for her to consume 100 pounds of grass daily. On the ordinary farm pastures, it would require approximately four acres to supply her with that much. It is Impossible for her to utilize this bulk. When the cow is forced to depend entirely upon pasture for getting the nutrients necessary for milk making, she is compelled to use her reserve to make up the deficiency of the various milk-producing substances. This practice results in a loss of flesh, which will eventually decrease the lactation period and lower milk flow. Cost to Feed Milk Cow on Dry Concentrates According to Prof. Henry Morrison of the University of -Wisconsin, It costs arotmd 22 to 24 cents, a day to feed a milk cow on dry concentrates. Today's cost is higher. Let's see what it costs to feed her on grass. Taking an average of $175 an acre for your grass land, $25 a year an acre would give good returns Including the cost of proper fertilization. On the basis of 200 days or seven months' grazing a year, and only one cow to the acre (just half of what Europe does), it will cost only 12% cents a day to keep the cow. Even If yon use some concentrates It will not cost over lfi cents a day, or a difference In cost of hutterfat of at least 5 cents a pound, as a good cow should produce at least a pound of butterfat a day. • m i n i m i m i i i n i i m i Dairy Notes i i i i i n i i i m i m i m i n i i McHenry, 111. For yonng calves, hay HfM frra mold is desirable. • • • Good pasture grasses simply will not grow without plenty of plant food; therefore, fertilize the pasture lands. • • • A good dairy cow probably consumes more water than any other domestic - animal. The more feed consumed, the more water the cow requires. • • • The richness of a cow's milk Is a matter of inheritance and not of feed. Certain factors do influence the test, such as breed, stage of lactation. • • • A study recently completed showed there was very little relationship between the -records made by a bull's daughters and that of his own dam while there was a very close relationship between the records made by his daughters and those made by his sisters. • • * Records show that fall freshening cows will produce 15 p$r <£nt or more fat than where spring' freshening Is the rule. • • • A temporary surplus of dairy products caused by low baying power 00 the part of the consumer makes necessary a dairy program that includes more rigid culling ot the dairy herds, feeding in proportion to production, reduction or saving of labor on the care of the dairy herd, and vealing of all calve* except those from the best cows. never ceased to stalk CoL Charles A. Lindbergh. His very size makes nlra a shining mark iu a crowd. Probably his face is known to almost every one in any country which has newspapers Or magazines, utid his tall figure is about as easy* to overlook - as the Chrysler building. That is- Why he never travels by subway eWvatecfc * * * It Is usually Sn front of thfr Hotel Plaza thpt you will find Patrick Egiin. He Is still straight, as he site on the box. but. when he'-takes off his coach man's hat, silver hair glistens in the 6u»ff Patrick's hair wasn't silver fifty yejjrs^ago, when his stand used to be tlotvri at Madl?op square. Gradually, Patrick and New York moved uptown. But, when Patrick Egan moved, he drove, formally and sedately, as a gen- - tleman should. The ©id Waldorf came and "went; Sherry's and Deimonido's rested a while at Forty-fourth street, and then moved along; Patrick Egan slapped the reins gently on his horse's back, and kept pace with them. Finally he has reached the lotter edge of Central park. There is a firm bulwark against which to lean. At that limit, wreckers and builders h*ve to ^kwld their hands. 4 i • • ' , Patrick Egan never has held with these new-fashioned taxis. A horse Is good enough for him. There were no taxis in Ireland when Patrick was a boy. There were none in the United States of his youth. Patrick knows that there is talk of taxis being used in the defense of Paris; but Nathan Bedford Forrest, nor James Elwell Brown--hence "Jeb"--Stuart, nor Philip Henry Sheridan, ever used anything except horses; although, to be exact, I don't think Patrick Egan had crossed the ocean at the time of the Civil war. Indeed, it is likely that he didn't get over much before that memorable year which saw Custer wiped out at Little Big Horn; Alexander Graham Bell invent the telephone ang the Brooklyn theater fire. Patrick would then have been in bis 'teens.- - * • • $here are all sorts of antl-nolse~associations in New York, bnt it Is to be doubted whether the city ever will be entirely noiseless. Just the tread of many million persons-is bound to produce some noise. In addition to that' you can add the noise of countless radios and talking machines; soprano abd bass singers; parrots, canary birds, Japanese robins, sparrows, and bird imitators; saxophone and piano players, St. Bernards, police dogs, spaniels, elevateds and flat-wheeled surface cars; garbage-can rattlers; milk wagons; soap-box orators who seldom use anything but the box, after- dinner speakers; before breakfast speakers; dirigibles and airplanes; thS cat's meow, and many other unclassified noises. No, I don't think tjie voice of the city ever will sink to a whisper. 1 Naturally';*the" big 'nollets maaelty certain city departments. The fire, health and police departments make more noise than all the private citizens put together. The very loudest noise'probably is made by the motor* cycles of the police: No motorcycle cop thinks he is on the job unless he starts the day by racing his motor, producing a series of reports somewhat resembling machine-gun fire, only louder. The best the officers on post can do is to yeli and blow their whistles. Patrol wagons, ambulances and fire apparatus make a noise of which any department should be proud. Most of these conveyances combine the sweet, moaning note of the siren with the merry clanging of a gong. Oh, well, if yon live in the country there are the crickets, the Chickens and the mooing cows. • • • If you see red drops lfeadlng from the kitchen to the dining-room table, yon need not necessarily conclude that somebody has killed the cook. It may just be the house of a wild duck hunter. A real enthusiast of the wild duck diet likes his duck cooked until the skin Is somewhat warmed and then he wishes it served. As far as I am concerned be can have it The only meat I like raw is chipped beef; and that also goes for fowl. I don't mind rare roast beef; but uncooked duck, which has been hanging around for awhile, Is Just not my favorite fish. * • * Brent Balcben doesn't approve of always furnishing passengers with parachutes. He says that in a big air liner, if you put parachutes on the customers before starting, the moment anything out of the ordinary happened the air would be as full of floating passengers as an October breeze is of lee.ves. If you don't know a bit about parachute jumping you are likely to rocb-a-by-baby In a tree-top, land on a pile of bricks or in a lake, or hang yourself up on a church steeple. When Balchen starts out anywhere with passengers, he expects to land them without outside aid, IatereitlaC Bits of NeVS^tyw till.--:, ^ and 3; ' Fifty Tears Ago At-the time of going to press we have not received the official vote of McHenry county, but learn that the majority for the straight Republican ticket was a little, over 1700.
