Ought to Know About Nebraska Cows
It would be well for Nebraska if ev
eryone in the east who thinks of coming
here or who thinks at all of tho dairy in
dustry could be handed a copy of an
article on Dairying in Nebraska pre
pared by Prof A L Haecker of the
State Experiment Station after the vic
tor of the steer Challenger which
was given his start in life on skim milk
The professor believes that tho possi
bilities of Nebraska as a dairying state
are almost limitless and he shows not
only that one creamery paid farmers for
butter fat during 1903 a total of 81
250000 and that another paid 81000
000 but that this is only a small repre
sentation of what will be paid when the
industry is developed
In substantiation of this Secretary S
0 Bassett of the Nebraska Dairymans
Association showed at the annual
meeting in January that whereas there
were only two milch cows to the square
mile in Nebraska in 18S0 there are now
16 to the square mile with a total value
of 837000000 and with production ag
gregating 620000000 during 1903 The
Burlington Route has published the
Haecker article with the Bassett figures
in pamphlet form this week and will
circulate hundreds of copies in the east
We are informed that any Nebraskan
can have copies sent his eastern friends
by sending their names and addresses to
J Francis the general passenger agent
at Omaha The pamphlet contains also
a list of creamery stations and it is
noteworthy that there are now 550 as
compared with 2S2 in January 1903
