Cows that produced 200 pounds of butterfat returned $34 above feed costs ; those producing 300 pounds returned $96; the producers returned $13S; and the cows of 500 pounds butterfat production returned $178 above feed costs. Thus the man producer would milking a have more net return than if he milked a dozen cows producing only 100 pounds of butterfat. This would take no account of the added labor of milking and caring for the larger herd or of the much greater expense of providing stable room for a herd instead of a single animal. The production figures used in this calculation were obtained by the United States Department of Agriculture from of the associations the country and the returns from butterfat are based on farm prices reported from all parts of the country. 400-poun- d 500-poun- d cow-testin- Dairy Hints Milk, especially when warm, absorbs odors rapidly.

Values! Thrift! Service! ! i (Three Words That Mean L Savings at this Store No Big Advantage in Warm Water for Hogs The Missouri experiment station has conducted trials to determine the value of heating the drinking water for hogs which are on winter feed. These experiments were with fall pigs fed during the winter. There were a large number of different combinations such as warm drinking water and warm feed, cold drinking water and warm feed, cold feed and cold water, cold water and cooked feed, cold feed and warm water, etc. These experiments did not show any advantage for warming either water or feed or for cooking feed. It is of course Important that fattening hogs, or hogs of any kind, have all the water which they need to drink. Sometimes the warming of water might help In this respect, but If a reasonable amount of care is taken to Fee that the hogs have a chance to drink cold water (not ice) we believe that ordinarily it will not pay to go to the trouble to host the water. Soy beans will take the place of oilmeal in the ration ft-- steers in the feed lot. From two to three pound d of soy beans can be fed to a steer per day. Soy beans are very laxative and if the bowels too loose the amount of soy In beans fed should be reduced. found been has it feeding experiments that steers will become tired of soy beans quicker than of oilmeal. On account of the hard nature of soy beans they should always be ground when fed to steers. You could mix just enough corn with soy beans so that you can readily grind them. The oily nature of the beans makes it difficult to grind them alone. $ 1,000-poun- he-co- Live Stock Notes One of the Important advantages of animals is the rapidity with which they gain and the earlinoss with which they are ready for market; production costs arc lowered both ways. well-bre- d Where a farmer feeds much slock about the lots and barns In the winter, there is nothing that will serve to clean up the odds and ends and prevent the waste of feed than a bunch of hungry fall pigs.
