A TEN-YEAR RECORD.
able Points for the Dairy Farmer
uggested by Nebraska Station.
1 October, 1896, the dairy herd of
Nebraska experiment station was
ablished for the purpose of supply
; milk and cream to the class room
d also to furnish animals which
iuld be used in various practical ex
periments. The herd was started with
ten animals and increased to 27. Dur
ing the ten years, 160 complete yearly
records were recorded. The breeds of
the herd were principally Jerseys and
liolsteins, with some Shorthorns and
a few grades of various breeds. All
records were carefully kept from day
today during the ten years and all the
records were compiled. The 160 rec
ords show an average of 6,513.2 pounds
of milk, and 332.66 pounds of butter
per cow per year. This average made
by a number of different breeds cover
ing a period of ten years gives a reli
able basis for figuring.
The conclusions deducted from the
data are as follows:
As a rule, short lactation periods
result in a high per cent, of fat, while
long periods give a lower per cent,
of fat.
A large flow of milk Is generally as
sociated with a low per cent, of fat.
while a small flow gives a higher test.
It was found, however, that the amount
of butter fat did not vary as much as
the milk flow or the per cent of fat.
In most cases heifers, with their
first calf did not show as high a test
as they did at a more mature age.
The per cent, of butter fat did not
seem to be changed by the food ration
given.
In order to know the value of a
dairy herd and its members, it is
necessary to keep a milk and butter
fat record of each cow from year to
year. Such a record will show varia
tion in the value of the animals and
will serve as a guide in building up
the herd.
The cows varied from year to year
in their butter fat production. The
good cows were inclined to give large
yields year after year, while the poor
ones were in nearly all cases low.
It was found that, as a rule, the
variation in milk flow in individual
rows from year to year was due to
length of lactation and rest before
freshening. A long lactation period
favors a larger milk production; also,
a long period of rest before freshening
brings the same result.
The years 1905 and 1906 were used
to found the data of this experiment,
and special care was taken to record
Katy Holstein. Record for 1906:
18,573.4 Pounds Milk, 620.44 Pounds
Butter Fat, 723.85 Pounds Butter in
365 Days.
accurately all data concerning the
amount of feed consumed by the cows.
The principal feeds given were as fol
lows: For roughage, alfalfa hay, corn
silage and pasture; for cohcentrates,
corn, bran, oats and llnseed-meal. The
prices charged for the foods were
based on the average market price
during the time they were fed. The
butter fat produced was credited to
the cows at the market value, based
on prices paid by the creameries of
the state.
The conclusions from this test are
as follows:
~ The amount oF~FSiIk and butter fat
produced depends upon the dairy ca
pacity of the animal and the amount
and quality of the ration used.
Cows vary in their cost of keep, also
in their ability to use economically the
food consumed.
Cows of a decided dairy type will re
turn the greatest profit when fed to
their full capacity.
The average cost of feeding a dairy
cow, as shown by these records, is
about S3O per year, and the total
value of butter fat is about S7O, leav
ing an average of about S4O for labor
and profit, in addition to the value of
the skim-milk and the value of the
calf.
It is fair to state that the calf, sklm
milk and manure will balance the
labor required to care for the cow, and
the net earnings per cow would there
fore be S4O per year.
DAIRY NOTES.
By proper management of the feed
an even flow of milk can bo secured
from most cows.
England is in the market for large
quantities of American butter, and this
demand may result in higher prices
Cows know almost to the minute
when feeding time comes 'round and
they should not be kept waiting long
No matter what the market is the
maker or good, reliable butter can al
ways find ready sale at better than
quotations.
Have you ever tried a winter rye
pasture for the cows? It is well worth
while to do so. Then you will

PERFECT HEALTH.
After Years of Backache, Dizziness

Mrs. It. C. Richmond, of Northwood,

t martyr to kidney
trouble, backache,
dizzy spells, head
aches and a ter
rible bearing-down
pain. I used one
remedy after an
other without bene

a box of Doan's

Encouraged, I kept on, and by the

BOY KEPT SCRATCHING.
Eczema Lasted 7 Years—Face Was All
Raw—Skin Specialists F?"ed, But
Cuticura Effected Cui
"When my little boy was six weeks
o.J an eruption broke out on his face,
l toe': him to a doctor, but his face
kept on getting worse until it got so
bad that no one could look at him.
His whole face was one crust and
must have been very painful. He
scratched day and night until his face
was raw. Then I took him to all the
best specialists in skin diseases but
they could not do much for him. The
eczema got on his arms and legs and
wo could not get a night's sleep in
months. I got a set of Cuticura Reme
dies and he felt relieved the first time
I uged them. I gave the Cuticura
Remedies a good trial and gradually
the eczema healed all up. He is now
seven years old and I think the trou

SEEMED A TRIFLE PERSONAL.
Clergyman's Particular Reason for
Omitting the Fifth Verse.
A clergyman in an interior town
married a woman from whom he re
ceived a dowry of SIO,OOO and a pros
pect of more. Shortly afterwards,
while occupying the pulpit, he gave
out a hymn, read the first verse and
proceeded to read the fifth, com
mencing:
"Forever let my grateful heart,"
then he hesitated and exclaimed:
"The choir will omit the fifth verse."
Some of the congregation read the
verse for themselves and smiled as
they read:
Forever lPt my grateful heart
His boundless grace adore,
Which gives ten thousand blessings now/
And bids me hope for more.
Not Guilty.
Willie is a little boy who is noted in
his neighborhood for his cruelty to
animals. The latest story is that just
for fun he took a pair of scissors and
cold-bloodedly cut off a kitten's tail.
One of the older girls was reproaching
him for his cruelty and telling him
what a wicked thing he had done.
He flatly denied doing anything of
the sort.
"Why, Willie, how can you tell such
a story?" the girl asked. "Everybody
knows you did it."
"I did not! I did not," he reiterated
when pressed further. "I didn't do
any such a thing. It wath a dog."
EAGER TO WORK
Msalth Regained by Right Food.
The average healthy man or woman
is usually eager to be busy at some
useful task or employment.
But let dyspepsia or indigestion get
hold of one, and all endeavor becomes
a burden.
"A year ago, after recovering from
an operation," writes a Mich, lady, "my
stomach and nerves began to give me
much trouble.
"At times my appetite was vora
cious, but when indulged, indigestion
followed. Other times I had no appetite
whatever. The food I took did not
nourish me, and I grew weaker than
ever.
"I lost Interest in everything, and
wanted to be alone. I had always had
good nerves, but now the merest trifle
would upset me and bring on a vio
lent headache. Walking across the
room was an effort and prescribed ex
ercise was out of the question.
"I had seen Grape-Nuts advertised,
but did not believe what I read, at
the time. At last when it seemed as
if I were literally starving, I began to
eat Grape-Nuts.
"I had not been able to work for
a year, but now after two months on
Grape Nuts I am eager to be at work
again. My stomach gives me no trou
ble now, my nerves are steady as
ever, agd interest in life and ambition
have came back with the return to
health."

CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1908.
EXCELLENT WEATHER
AND MAGNIFICENT CROPS
REPORTS FROM WESTERN CAN
ADA ARE VERY ENCOURAGING.
A correspondent writes the Winni
peg (Man.) Free Press: "The Pinch
er Creek district, (Southern Al
berta), the original home of fall
wheat, where it has been grown with
out failure, dry seasons and wet, for
about 25 years, is excelling itself this
year. The yield and quality are both
phenomenal, as has been the weather
for its harvesting. Forty bushels is a
common yield, and many fields go up
to 50, 60 and over, and most of it No.
1 Northern. Even last year, which was
less favorable, similar yields were in
some cases obtained, but owing to the
season the quality was not so good. It
Is probably safe to say that the aver
age yield from the Old Man's River to
the boundary will be 47 or 48 bushels
per acre, and mostly No. 1 Northern.
One man has just made a net profit
from his crop of 119.55 per acre,, or
little less than the selling price of
land. Land here is too cheap at pres
ent, when a crop or two will pay for
it, and a failure almost unknown. Nor
is the district dependent on wheat, all
other crops do well, also stock and
dairying, and there is a large market
at the doors in the mining towns up
the Crows Nest Pass, and in British Co
lumbia, for the abundant hay of the
district, and poultry, pork, and gar
den truck. Coal is near and cheap.
Jim Hill has an eye on its advan
tages, and has invested here, and is
bringing the Great Northern Railroad
soon, when other lines will follow."
The wheat, oat and barley crop in
other parts of Western Canada show
splendid yields and will make the
farmers of that country (and many of
them are Americans) rich. The Cana
dian Government Agent for this dis
trict advises us that he will be pleased
to give Information to all who desire
It about the new land regulations by
which a settler may now secure 160
acres in addition to his 160 home
stead acres, at $3.00 an acre, and also
how to reach these lands into which
railways are being extended. It might
be interesting to read what is said of
that country by the Editor of the
Marshall (Minn.) News-Messenger,
who made a trip through portions of it
in July, 1908. "Passing through more
than three thousand miles of Western
Canada's agricultural lands, touring
the northern and southern farming
belts of the Provinces of Manitoba,
Saskatchewan and Alberta, with nu
merous drives through the great grain
fields, we were made to realize not
only the magnificence of the crofs, but
the magnitude, in measures, of the
vast territory opening, and to be
opened to farming immigration. There
are hundreds of thousands of farmers
there, and millions of acres under cul
tivation, but there is room for mil
lions more, and other millions of acre
age available. We could see in Western
Canada in soil, product, topography or
climate, little that is different from
Minnesota, and with meeting at
every point many business men and
farmers who went there from this
state, it was difficult to realizo one
was beyond the boundary of the
country."

The
General Demand
of tho Well-informed of the World has
always been for a simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; a laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its com
ponent parts are known to them to be
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex
cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of Senna, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on tho merits of tho laxative for its remark
able success.
That is one of many reasons why
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is given
•he preference by the Well-Informed.
To get its beneficial effects always buy
the genuine—manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale
by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents

I've seen it so thick that the land
ladies of our summer boardin' houses
could ladle it out and use it instead
o' whipped egg for the heavy part of
the fioatin' island."
"We 'ave 'em, too, in London," said
his traveling companion, "but our
climate is too dirty to permit of our
eatin' it. We burn so much soft coal,
you see, the fog gets packed full of
soot. The only thing we really can do
with it is to cut it up into blocks and
use It instead of peat when we want
a quick fire."
And the Yankee took out the little
American flag he wore in his button

All the Fault of the Cow.
A South side woman went to a
butcher shop the other day to get a
roast of beef. The butcher is a little
old man, inclined to be (jranky. He
began to cut the roast. She thought
he was sawing off too much bone.
"That roast will have too much
bone in it, I fear," she said.
The butcher stopped and sighed.
"Madam," he said, "that's the cow's
fault. These cows would be in awful
shape if they had to run around with
out bones."
The woman said no more.—Denver

LAUGH WAS ON THE DEACON.
Statement Might Be True, But Cer
tainly Was Unhappily Expressed.
"I regret to say," remarked Deacon
French, at the last meeting of the
Squashville Political Debate club,
"that this club has been degenerating
ever since I became a member of it."
The deacon paused and'flushed as |
he saw a slight smile on the faces of
his fellow members.
"What I mean to say is," he con
tinued, with some haste, "that ever
since I joined this club I've noticed a
gradual but decided change for the |
worse."
The smile on the faces of the other :
members deepened, and the deacon's I
face turned almost scarlet.
"You all know what I mean," he j
added, desperately. "What I mean is !
that from the very minute I became a
member of the Squashville Political :
Debate club, I could see that it was '
beginning to lose its value as an or
ganization, and the longer I have 1
stayed in it, the more steadily have I j
seen it running down hill!" —Lippin- i
