Nebraska's dairy business is in
its infancy. The farmers have not
yet learned to care properly for their
cows, or to breed up their herds that
they may have better cows. The
average cream production per cow in
Nebraska is low. The number of
niilch cows is far below what it
fhould be. On the first of January,
3tJl3. there were C07.(W milch cows
in the Ftate with a value of $30.1u7,
a value of $4.U:0 per head, and
a pain during the year of $9 pur head,
which shows that the demand for
dairy cows is increasing. These are
cows as a rule cf inferior quality and
cf inferior breeding.
When the dairy business beeins to
linelop, there will be four times as
many milch cows, and ton times as
much dairy production. The Nebras
ka soil and the Nebraska climate,
and the beautiful Nebraska valleys,
well watered and deep with lush,
nutritious and succulent grasses, will
bring all this about. The construc
tive imagination can see it as clear
ly in the future as though it were
actually present. The time is ccm
i::g when the Nebraska cow will earn
for herself a distinctive reputation
throughout the entire world.
.As a cr-niraery butter producing
s;ate, Nebraska enjoys the reputa
tion of beintr one of the largest. It
has the largest creamery in the world,
while, Omaha, its metropolis, occu
pies the enviable position of produc
ing more creamery butter than any
city in the world. Annually, ',G0o,
U' O pounds, with a conservatively
estimated value of $6oV-00f are
manufactured in Omaha and shipped
tit all parts of the world. Butter with
the Nebraska and Omaha label is
known in every civilized country.
WONDERFUL LIVE STOCK STATE
The live stock industry of Nebras
ka demands special consideration.
Livestock production is undergoing a
charge cf method. Hitherto the pro
duction cf beef has been laTeely con
1'iiei to the range cattle of the west.
The stare is b--g:nning to shift its
beef p; c-.hietion. It has been found
that no one can afford to raise bevf
cattle according to the method on
jr.d whose acre valuation passes a
certain point. There is very little
land anywhere now in Nebraska on
which anyone can afford to raisz
bee: cattle according to the old
method.
Ano'h-r reason for the change is
found in the fact that the ranges of
the vest have been ov?r-pastured, and
as a result, their productivity had
decreased. The beef cattle of the fu
ture will largely be raised from the
individual farms.
The immensity of the livestock in
dustry of the state, while it may be
expressed in figures, can hardly be
realized without the aid of imagina
tion. Let the figures be given and
then let every reader try with the
help cf his imagination to realize the
fact. The number of beef cattle of
all ages on the farms of Nebraska on
the first of January W2, was 2.K'2,
"0 Of these the total number mar
keted from Nebraska farms during
the year was,. SICS.". ': this total
number marketed. j."3.lS were mar
keted at Pouth Omaha, These had a
value of 192,340.
The total number of hogs of all
ages on Nebraska farms the first of
January, 1912. was 4.2G7.00". Of these,
there were marketed 2,WZ.'.i27. Of
th" total number marketed, there
v ere marketed at South Omaha, 2,
ir.'.7."!, for which $42,1C5m was
paid.
The total number of sheep of all
ages on Nebraska farms, January
first. 1.'12, was 3S2'. Nebraska
does r.ot raise all the sheep- that it
markets. Shee pmen Lay their feeders
outside of the state, principally in
"Wyoming. Montana and Idaho. This
accounts for the fact that while the
number of sheep on the first of
January, 1912 in Nebraska was less
than 4,vOiVC-9, stjll there were mar
keted from Nebraska, including the
fee dei s that had been imported. S9.".
477. Of these 7K.3S2 were marketed
at the Pouth Omaha stock yards for
which $",oSl,910 was paid.
PRODUCTION ONLY EZGUN.
Study these figures. Only a little
more than one third of the total num
ber of cattle in the state were mar
keted. Two thirds were left upon
the farms. A little more than one
half the hogs in the state were mar
keted. Almost half were left upon
the farms. On the first of January,
1913. it is estimated there were the
same number of sheep in the state as
on year b fore. And yet there were
marketed at South Omaha alone 71C.
SS2, for .vhich $3,CS1,910 was paid.
It ,s estimated that of the total
amount of live stock marketed in the
state, SO per cent only is marketed
at South Omaha. The total value of
all the cattle, hogs and sheep market
ed frcm Nebraska during the year
3912, amounts to the amazing sum of
;iu7."SG,562. This takes no account
of the 15.M7 cattle, 114.f.53 hogs, C,
192 sheep that died of disease during
the year. This proves the capacity
of Nebraska Foil to produce meat for
the markets of the world.
In the last analysis, the source of
the meat produced by the state must
b-e traced back to the soil. An old
breeder of international reputation
says: "You must not give me too
much credit for the quality of the live
stock I produce. Nowhere else could
1 have produced such live stock. The
quality of Nebraska soil is reflected
in the grass and hay that it produces,
and these are in their turn reflected
in the quality of the live stock placed
upon the market. It all goes back to
the soil, and this matchless Nebraska
soTl can "do for live 'stoclc 'what ho
other soil on the face of the earth can
do."
Nebraska has made South Omaha
the second primary live stock market
of the world. In 1912 nearly 7,'(k,000
head of live stock were received on the
South Omaha market and four and
one half millions were converted into
meats. South Omaha moved into
second place among the world's mar
kets for total number of head of stock
received, replacing Kansas City as
the second string to Chicago.
The value of the packing output in
South Omaha runs well above the
$H'0H'i,oo.i mark annually. The South
Omaha market also enjoys the dis
tinction of being the greatest feeder
sheep market in the world, as well as
the greatest market for range horses.
The South Omaha market furnishes
employment to more than 7,000 peo
pie and pays out annually $7,000.00u
for their labors.
IDEAL HORSE RAISING STATE.
No territory is better adapted than
Nebraska to the breeding and grow
ing of fine horses. The state is
awakening to a realization of the in
creased revenue that may be derived
from this source. There is a great
market demand for heavy draft
horses, and better prices are now-
being paid for drafters of weight and
quality.
Heretofore the state has been sat
isfied with breeding only a medium
grade of horses. The light, native
ranee mares have been used to a
large extent, and for sires, attention
has been turned to horses of the
heavy draft breeds. This course
could not possibly produce a horse cf
the weight required by the market.
The drafters that command the Inch
est price in the market weigh from
l,t'."0 to 2,00" pounds.
Farmers are beginning to realize
that it costs no more to raise a good
horse than it does to raise a medium
or a poor horse; that much more
profitable work can be derived from
a certain amount of feed by the use
cf a heavy animal than by the use of
a light one of inferior breeding. They
can keep their heavy draft mares,
and work the heavy draft horses until
they arrive at the age of maturity
and then place them on the market at
an advance price.
In order to accomplish this end
two things are indispensable: First.
there must be steady, persistent, in
telligent application on the part of
the farmers of the principles of right
breeding.
It is not enough that a horse he
bred well. He must be well fed in
addition. Rlood help6, but blood does
not do everything. The man that
would raise heavy drafters for the
market must be a generous fee-der,
and 1-e must intelligently select the
kinds of feed that will produce the
largest and the best growth. Ne
braska furnishes the feed. Alfalfa,
native wild grass and oats, when fed
in the proper proportions and in the
right amount, will produce the de
sired growth. And Nebraska fur
nishes these of superior quality in
luxuriant abundance.
Th0 time is coming when horsps
will grown in Nebraska according
to the plan known as "community
breeding.'' According to this plan
the he rse breeders of a certain com
munity, whether it be a township, a
county or a still larger area, co-operate
in breeding uniformly to horses
of the same distinctive type. All that
Is needed to accomplish this end is
for th- farmers intelligently to co
operate for this purpose.
It Fhould be borne in mind that in
order to produce large, heavy, typical
drafters, large, heavy, typical dams
must be secured. Hy breeding up
the native horses through pure bred
sires, in time, such dams mar be se
cured. Then with dams and sires of
the right quality and type, and with
a thorough knowledge instilled into
the farmers as to how they may best
grow their foals, Nebraska will be
ablf- to lead the world in the quality
of horses that she will produce.
HENS ALWAYS WORKING.
The Nebraska hen is doing her full
share in increasing the prediction of
the state. The total poultry products
for the last year, including both poul
try and eggs, amount to more than
$i0.'jo0.0"0. The Nebraska hen is some
producer.
in Omaha, alone, more than $10,000.
tHiO worth of poultry and eggs are
handled annually, her shipments go
ing to all parts of the east.
