GOOD SIRES AID
DAIRY FARMERS
More Than Mere “Luck”
Involved in Procuring
Butterfat Returns
Ames, la.—When 84 Iowa dairy
men develop herds producing 400
pounds or more butterfat per cow,
compared to an average of 289
pounds for all cows in cow testing
associations and 175 pounds for all
Iowa cows, there is undoubtedly
some reason for this record.
When 29 of these 84 owners also
had 400-pound herds last year it is
evident that something more than
“luck” places the herd in this group.
A comparison of the methods used
by the owners of the 400-pound
herds with those used by all dairy
farmers in Iowa Cow Testing asso
ciations, as contained in the annual
report, recently completed, shows
that a larger per cent of the 400
pound herds used approved meth
ods.
Use Purebred Sires
All except two owners of 400
pound herds used purebred sires.
Only 88 per cent of all dairymen in
associations, which includes the 400
pound herds, used purebred sires.
Almost half of the cows in the 400
pound herds were purebred. The
practice of the 400-pound herd own
ers during the last few years, in
| using sires of known high produc
' ing ancestry is undoubtedly one of
the reasons for the high produc
tion.
Other facts which help explain
the difference in the herds follow:
99 per cent of the 400-pound herds
received legume hays, as Compared
to 98 per cent of all herds in asso
ciations; 98 per cent of the owners
of 400-pound herds fed grain on
pasture, compared to 74 per cent of
all others; 98 per cent of the high
herd owners fed grain to dry cows,
compared to 69 per cent of all herd
owners, and 100, per cent of the 400
pound herds were fed a balanced
ration, compared to 73 per cent of
all herds.
Another important reason for the
difference between the herds is the
fact that 74 per cent of the 400
pound herd owners fed silage,1 com
pared to 63 per cent of all herd
owners in associations. The survey
shows that cows fed mixed hay,
grain and silage produced 279
pounds of butterfat, compared to
248 pounds produced by cows fed
only mixed hay and grain.
nerua vuu^u viubu.t
The owners of the 400-pound
herds culled an average of two cows
per herd during the last year, which
indicates that even good herds must
be culled to increase efficiency of
production.
The 4C0-pound herds have been In
cow testing associations for an av
erage of four years, indicating that
the owners not only use the right
sires and good breeding, feeding
and management methods, but are
watching the production records
over a period of years.
Although cows in the 400-pound
herds produce an average of 128 per
cent more butterfat and 288 per
cent more income, above feed cost,
than the average dairy cow, this
does not mean that the owners of
these herds are actually putting
more butterfat on the market than
before. Before the herds reached
this production a large number of
the cows had been culled out and,

ADVICE NOW ONE OF SOUTH
DAKOTA’S LEADING FARMERS
BY FRANCIS T. MARTIN
When Horace Greeley, many
years ago said, “Go west young
man,’’ he Rave utterance to magic
words, that stirred the imaginations
of the restless spirit of the times,
and men of those days, regardless
of location, were fired with opti
mism for the future for they knew
the “west,” as a land toward the
setting sun that beckoned them on
because of alluring possibilities and
great opportunities.
William Dailey of Pipestone,
Minn., but whose land is across the
state line in South Dakota, was a
young man living with his parents
in northeastern Iowa, where he was
born, when that classic of Greeley’s
electrified the nation and it didn’t
take him long to make up his mind
that, he, too, would go west. But,
he didn’t go far. As a matter of
fact, in those days he didn’t have
to, for the door of opportunity was
ajar at his elbow, and his trek,
therefore, was short.
In South Dakota, Dailey found a
land to his liking. Today, after 54
years of residence within its bor
ders, this pioneer's achievements is
an illuminating chapter in the field
of agriculture and in the dev:lop
ment and maintenance of ’nigh
ideals in livestock improvement.
Takes Lead in Field
As a farmer and a breeder of
Shorthorns, Dailey was foremost in
every progressive movement. He
introduced meritorious seedstock at
the outse* of his career, and in the
production and dissemination of
such seed, he can be rated as a
benefactor in a true sense of the
term. His Shorthorn herd is one of
the ranking herds of the country.
One thing about Dailey’s opera
tions as a Shorthorn breeder, he
was a thorough believer in th? prin
ciple that a herd’s standing hinges
upon the use of good bulls, and his
insistence on keeping In service
sires of recognized standards kept
the herd at a high peak during all
the years of its existence.
For years, farmer* and ranchmen
have bought their bulls from Daily
and they gave a full measure of
satisfaction when they were put
into service for they were of tha
right stamp. The herd has earned
its prominence, and its future Is
bright. Its foundation was laid upon
the solid rock of individuality and
pedigree, and herds of such char
acter never lose the public’s favor
Aided by Son
Dailey has an able co-workcr ir.
his son, Lawrence, who occupies an
adjoining farm, and he, too, has an
assistant in a son whose tendencies
in calf club work should make his
influence frit In future Shorthorn
history.
The Daileys, In their combined
holdings, have 1,420 acres, and live
stock breeding and feeding is their
big business. Cattle, hogs and
I sheep are tb? great triumvirate in
the Dailev program in converting
into cash the grains and grasses
grown upon their farms. They do
not deviate from <his plan, it’s a
safe and deo ndab!° business, and
the Daileys have never been chance
takers.
Tn sred corn improvement, thej
huve made great strides. Twenty
years ago, Dailev senior, selected
the Iowa Silver King as best adapt
ed to his particular section, and the
improvements he lias added have
been o' great benefit, and the type
known as Dailey’s White Dent ha*
long been in favor.
William Dailey’s name is writter
large in South Dakota’s agricultur
al development and livestock im
provement. Posterity will hold hli
name in kindly remembrance. His
worthwhile accomplishments are an
example for the coming generation
of farmers.
in most cases, the size of the herds
had been decreased.
These dairymen, in general, are
putting less butterfat on the mar
ket, but are producing more butter
fat per cow and making a larger in
come than before. Higher produc
tion per cow enables some of the
lower producing cows to be culled
and sold on the market. The high
producing cows, such as are found
in the 400-pound herds, make a
good profit for their owners when
butterfat is at a reasonable price
and enable butter to be sold at a
low enough price so that the public
will maintain a reasonably high rate
of consumption.
Wells Leaves You Dizzy.
Harold Laski In London Daily
Herald.
H. G. Wells' energy of mind and
body Is quite incredible. Spend a
day with him, and its alternations
of thought and action will leave you
dizzy with fatigue. You will be
compelled to argue about every
point you make. You will have to
share in every game he plays.
Every other sentence of his will
stimulate some train of thought
which sets you galloping along. The
thin, high voice will punctuate every
sentence of yours with doubts, af
firmations, execrations, encourage
ments, until, as you crawl up to
bed, you feel that you have lived a
year in a day.
Mr. Wells has not only energy and
curiosity; he really sees things for
himself. As Bertrand Russell is a
natural anarchist, so Mr. Wells is a
natural original. He must see things

OF INTEREST TO FARMERsj
WHEAT AS STOCK FEED
Wheat can be substituted tor corn
to advantage In feeding live stock
when prices are as low as they are
at present in some sections of the
country, says the United States de
partment of agriculture. “The aver
age farm price of corn for the Unit
ed States last month was about 79
cents per bushel. At this price for
oorn, wheat Is worth about 85 cents
for feeding to poultry and sheepv
and about 89 cents for feeding to
hogs and beef cattle. The average
farm price of wheat was about 80
cents per bushel. Based on digesti
ble nutrients, wheat and corn are
of practically equal value pound for
pound. Hence, a bushel of wheat
Li worth more than a bushel of
com in feeding value, as a bushel
of wheat weighs 4 pounds or 7 per
cent, more than a bushel of shelled
corn. But corn and corn products
alone make a better ration for cat
tle than wheat and wheat products
alone. It is not necessary to grind
com fts a hog feed, but wheat should
be coarsely ground or crushed.
Wheat, according to experiments
recently made has proved 5 per
cent more efficient than covn for
fattening steers when fed with al
falfa hay. a little prairie hay. and
straw, bran and linseed meal.
Wheat dies not give the best results
when fed alone, but should be mixed
with corn. Wheat may take the
place of corn in rations for dairy
cows. Wheat for horses should be
ground or preferably rolled, and
must be mixed with other feeds be
cause of its stickiness when chewed
and also because, if fed alone, it
may cause digestive troubles. On
the practicability of using wheat as
a hog feed, the department says
about 5 per cent less grain is re
quired in the case of wheat, and
that with corn at 70 cents a bushel
and wheat at 79 cents, gains can
be made with wheat and tankage
at about 15 cents less per hundred
pounds than with corn and tank

stock feed compared with corn at

to $1 per bushel is shown In the

MINERALS ESSENTIAL
Generally speaking, the feeding ol
mineral supplements
mals aids in increasing the strength
and denseness of the bones. M®
erals are also used In the diges
tive system of farm animals. When
the mineral content of the intes
tine is out of balance, digestion docs
not proceed in a normal manner.
If too little mineral matter is pres
ent. digestion is Inter! erred w 1th
and when an oversupply is taken in,
too much water rushes into the in
testine from the blood. This Is m?^e
true of some minerals than of oth
ers. but all minerals have some ef
fect upon the composition of the
different fluids of the body, in
cluding the blood. Ordinarily we
look upon the bones as a sort or
framework of the animal, which
needs to be up to standaid ni
strength. This is all right so far
as it goes, but bonds have other
important functions. They arc not
inert matter that merely serve as
a frame on which to hang flesh. The
marrow in the bones is the seat
of blood generation. At the grow
ing points of the bones, different
mineral constituents are deposited
as reserve material for sustained
growth. These reserve minerals are
drawn upon when the ration fed
does not contain mineral matter
enough for the proper functioning
of the animal's digestive and assim
ilative systems. Before our present
knowledge of the function of miner
als in the animal economy was de
veloped, our livestock frequently suf
fered from diseases, the nature of
which were either not understood
or entirely misunderstood. A few
years ago, for example, posterior
paralysis in swine was thought to
be dud to the presence of kidney
worms. It is now definitel^known
chat these worms bear no relation
whatever to posterior paralysis of
hogs, but that this disease is the
result of mineral deficiencies in the
ration, especially to a shortage of
lime and phosphates. A great many
dairy cows are underfed on mineral
matter. Milk is rich in minerals
and, unless a cow’s ration is sup
plemented with a mineral mixture,
her only means of getting the need
ed amount is through her feed. The
more milk a cow produces the great
er her need for mineral matter.
The fact is that for a very large
proportion, of our cows the pro
duction of milk is limited by lack of
mineral matter—especially of cal
cium and phosphorus. In a bulle
tin issued by the United States De
partment of Agriculture it is stated
that in many cases lack of sufficient
mineral matter in the feed limits
milk production to the extent of
il per cent, even when the ration
is rich in legume hay. Not only
does lack of mineral matter in the
ration limit milk production, but also
does it bring about disorders in re
production. In fact, nutrition de
ficiencies in the ration are respon
sible for many disorders that arc in
terpreted as diseases of various
kinds. One reason why minerals are
needed in greater quantities in live
stock rations nowadays than they
were 15 to 20 years ago is because
today most of our soils are lacking
in minerals and the result is that
ooth grain and roughage crops pro
duced on our poorer soils carry less
mineral matter than they did years
ago. There is another important
ractor in connection with mineral
feeding. A ration may contain an
abundance of all the necessary min
WATCH THE MALES
After two or three months In the
breeding pens, there is to be ex
pected a lack of efficiency in some
of the males. Dispose of any male
which has been worsted in a scrap
and is being picked on bv the oth
ers. for he is useless. Other cock
erels may be sick or out of condi
tion. or suffering from injuries due
to freezing. Now is an excellent
time to go through the breeding
pens and check the males carefully,
removing any that are out of con
dition. and if necessary replacing
them with others. If new males
• re placed In tha pens with other
cockerels, it should be done at
night, when the latter are on the
narrhes. ao as to causa as
erals, but when there Is ft lack of
certain vitamins in the ration the
animal may not be able to assimi
late the minerals It has taken in
with Its feed. Mineral assimilation
depends largely upon the presence
of vitamin D—the vitamin found In
abundance in cod liver oil. Thj
vitamin Is also produced in the body
of animals when exposed to the di
rect rays of the sun or to ultra
, violet tight. Referring again to, the
present greater use of mineral mat
ter in livestock rations as compared
with earlier times, it may be said
that we are feeding our stock much
more heavily than we formerly did.
Our dairy cows are producing more
milk, our beef cattle are fattened
at 12 to 15 months of age instead
of at the age of two to four years,
our hogs are fattened for market at
six to seven months old instead of
at the age of 10 to 14 months, and
pullets are brought into lay months
before they were in years gone by.
This forced feeding is one of tha
big reasons why more mineral mat
ter Is needed In feeding rations now
Ilian formerly and that, partially at
least, accounts for the steady growth
and development of the mineral feed
Industry. More farmers are bo ng
convinced that supplemcnthlg
rations with minerals pays.

HEATED LAYING HOUSES
The use of heat in poultry hfcpse*
has gained tremendously in popu
larity the last year or so. Poultry
men have recognized that its iuo
has a great advantage in main
taining dry floors and preventing
frozen cotnbs in unusually cold,
damp weather. Poultry keepers,
therefore, in sections of the country
where such weather is likely to oc
cur, will be interested to know
more about this practice. Heat was
installed in the pens of the New
York State Egg Laying contest, ou
Long Island, and figures have re
cently been issued on the results for
a period of a little over six months.
The cost of fuel for 190 days, based
on coal at $15 a ton and on the
maximum number of birds a com
mercial pouitryman could 1 oua; in
the corresponding space, wa:
cents per bird. The grain con
sumption from November through
March with the use of heat was 15.5
pounds per bird as compared with &
three-year average without use of
heat of 21.4 pounds per bird, a sav
ing of 13.6 cents per bird, based on
the average price of their gram
during last winter. Thus savings in
feed consumption almost equal the
fuel charges. Other charges
amounted to 6 cents per bud.. An
increase of 10 eggs per bird ai last
winter's prices, would cover all
charges, it is stated. The manage

problem in giving hinds comfortable
drinking water at 4 a. m. in winter
when lights are used, no cost of op
erating water heaters, and in
creased activity of birds during car"
ly morning hours.”
WINTERING BEES
Bees are different from ail other
Insects, as they require special care
In order to survive the wintering
period. In providing this care, bee
keepers observe three requisites
which include having the colony in
proper condition, an adequate store
of honey, and satisfactory shelter
during the winter. A large propor
tion of young bees is one important
requisite. It is the young bees that
survive the winter, and any colony
that has been headed by a voting,
vigorous queen will be properl!
equipped with plenty ol young bct‘4
The condition of the colonies ana
the amount of stores for winter
should bo looked into early. A splen*
tiful supply of honey for colony U3fl
during the winter is important, and
each hive should have at least 50
pounds of honey left with it for the
wintering period. Any smaller
amount than this is liable to cau;s«
starvation before the nectar flow
comes on the following spring. Pro
tection of the colony rcauires that
it be insulated against cold weath
er. It makes little difference
whether the insulation Is provided
by placing all the hives in a well
insulated cellar or placing an in
dividual packing case around each
hive. Most bee-keepers have found
by practical experience that a good
cellar offers the best protection for
their bees. Other requirements of
a good bee cellar besides insulation
are <drainage and ventilation. Dark
ness should be provided, as day
light disturbs the bees to activity
Never close up the entrance of the
colony when it has been placed
In the wintering quarters, as this
will cause a bee panic and death
to large numbers of them.
BEST EGGS HATCH BEST
The best eggs hatch the best
chicks—no question about that. And
yet the desired number for hatching
often Is adhered to regard^ss of
quality. This Is short-sighted pro
cedure. for 150 well selected high
quality eggs are worth more to borh
the producer and hatcheryman than
300 eggs sold for hatching. Th!
following points should serve as a
guide in care and selection o’ eggs
for hatching. An egg scale should
be used for checking weight of eggs.
(1) Select only clean, unwashed
eggs of standard size and color. <2>
Discard under or oversized eggs, ill
shaped and weak-shelled eggs. f3)
Handle eggs carefully to avoid
checks or cracks—such eggs are
ruined for incubation. (4) Gather
eggs noon and evening daily.
Store in a cool, dry place where
temperature is 40 to 60 degrees F
—never in the kitchen. <6) Deliver
or set weekly or oftener. <1> Set
no egg weighing less than two
ounces. The size of the egg de
termines the size of the chick.
