OCIOD DAIRY SIRES NEEDED,
The sefactitin of dairy eire IS an

readily Vets out a bull for the production
or beef „than he can erre for the pro.
duction of intik, In the vase Or Me
latter, the machinery Tor preductlen of
milk la on the Inside of the animal. The
average production or the cows to gen-
eral is only some 000 pounds of milk
Per year, ana if one tigoree up what that
comes to, It will he round to produce
about only, enough money to pay for the
reed of the cow, and there must be a
great many emit that are not even giving
4,000 pounds, It is up te the Oalrymen
to try to improve the mint capacity of
their cows, Why keep. on reeding un-
profitable ones? It would be better to
get rid of them. The great basis for im-
provement of our dairy cottle must come
from the sire, Or course, the wealthy
Irian might. go out and buy a number
og good, profitable cows, but that does
not apply to the ordinary 'farmer. To
improve the diary bores, it will not do to
pick out the beef type or bull. The pedi-
gree of the dairy buli must be looked uP•
He nraY be pure bred and a gooe individ-
ual to look at, but that is not sufrielent.
It Is important to know what kind of
a mother, he came from that; he came
front. a producing cow, and the further
back one can go in tracing that bull, to
sea whether be camp from produeing cows
the more likely be is to be a bull that
cannot transmit something to his off-
spring that he does not inherit himself,
One must not be Jed aWay bY the fact
that ho is a bandsome individual.
Sorne breeders keep a ball especially
for show purposed, and another for breed-
ing purpoeee, simply because thls show
bull lots not come from a line of Produc-
ing cows.
et is wen to know that the null comes
from a cow that had a perfect udder,
for to breed an animal whose dam was
defective in the udder, is,,very apt to
produce daughters with the same- defect,
Tt is claimed that the giro has consid-
erable to do with the nuanty and shape
of the udders of his offspring,.
A bull should aleo come from a free -
Stinking cow, and not one that le hard to
brood dairy eows with udders that have
long' attachments to the oladornen. Cows
with low udders are objectionable. z
A Mill .with A good masculine head is
more likely to be a -prepetent sire than
ona with a cow's head. He should also
have lotS or life and energy. It Is a
mistake to- be continually breeeing' from
young bulls. Occasionally it might be
advisable to use a young animal.
more large -yield cows are needed on
the dairy farms of this ecemtry. The
cows of Holland average over 9,000 pounds
of milk per head per year, and dairying
in Holland on land worth $600 to 92,000 per
acre ie remarkably proritable. The
news of the United States average about
4,000 pounds' or milk per head per year,
and dairying here on land worth $5 to
$50 per acre is practically profitless. With
cows like those of Holland we would
need one 10,000,000 to make the quantite
of milk we now make with our 22,000,000
smal!-yield cows. With cows of the Hot -
land kind we could cut from our dairying
costs over one-half or the eletnents of
feed and labor and housing and taxes,
and Interest and maintenance, and the
milk interest as a Whole would at once
be made enormously profitable. Every
dairyman should start right now to breed
his milk cows up toward Alm Holland
standard. It Is better business to keep
five 10,000 -pound cowe than to keep ten
5,000 -pound oneg, or 17 3,000 -pound ones
When will milt producers open their •eyes
to the situation and -its possibilities?
The smallsyleld cow has ruined the dairy
indestry for the -farmers. only the large -
yield COW will ever put the industr bn
a paying basis.-Philetclelphia Recor .

"The depreciation in the value of farm
machinery should always be figured in
the cost or barvesting a crop," says
Professor H. C. Rarnsower, of the Col-
lege of Agriculture, 0114e, State, Uni-
versity. "Since the average life of farm
machinery is about 10 years, this depre-
ciation should be figured at 1.0 per cent.
or the value of the machine each year."
Profesor Ramsower points to the cow -
harvester as an example of the cost
of depreciation. It is figured that the
man who purchases a corn binder will
cut at least 40 acres of corn each yeer.
The binder nail cost about $120, and lasts
lng 10.years, will make the cost of the
machine 912 each year. Dividing $12 by
the 40 acres harvested, the cost per acre
for the use of the corn binder will be
30 cents, 'While thesesfigures are only
averages, they are nearly correct and
show the method of estimating the cost
of the use of farm machinery excIusive
or the labor required to operate them.
This cost, made known, emphasizes the
importance of getting the farm machin-
ery wider cover, for each year its Ofe
is shortened increases the cost of its
use.
