Show can be added to basin farmers cayrol im h 11 V oy roll it is a sound economic principle that livestock are an essential adjunct of every farm not only are they useful in maintaining the fertility of the land but they are a con constant constanti staTi t and profitable revenue among those of primary worth tor for t the h farming arming section around roosevelt are dairy cows and hogs in this article its our desire to point out an economical way to add net cash income to the yearly pay roll of 0 this section we will base our estimation estima teon 5 grahe dairy cows and farmers assuming that the farmers already have the land and equipment tor for the added increase to the farm stock the relative numbers are taken simply to make mace comparisons compa it Is easy to see that one or more cows could be added to any herd and the proportionate amount of income and expense be added to make our estimate conservative the average of 0 the test teat of 37 dairy dalry herds of salt lake county tor for august 1924 will be used and as august is conceded to be a low producing month would be well below the average tor for the year in this test by the ass association ocla the average yield per cow was pounds of milk and pounds of 0 butterfat butter tat at 30 cents per pound tor for butter tat fat this amounts to per cow or tor for the herd for or one month or tor for one year of course it if one has higher testing cows as uncle ben eldridges herd which was vas one in this test and which averaged 1397 pounds of milk and pounds butter tat fat per cow the income will be still greater from the separated milk and every farmer should sell cream and not whole milk 2400 pounds at 30 cents per hundred weight is of 0 feeding value when fed to pigs and chickens tho the following Is very conservative to balance with other teeda feeds ten pigs to maturity would be 1750 pounds dressell dres dress seti etl meat at 10 cents per pound or and start 10 more pigs on the way one hundred hens should easily produce 1000 dozen eggs at 25 cents per dozen or broilers pullets to keep up stock there would be 5 calves which would easily average 1200 each or it would be possible to raise a few orphan lambs but these will not be included this makes a round total of 1 assuming them to be on farms we have cows producing the immense sum in direct and by gross income it would not take in actual expense of feeds tor for all over to produce this sum and should take less according to how it was produced and how much beadwork had been used by the farmer seven acres of good pasture will carry the livestock through tor for 8 months and greatly reduce the amount ot of hay needed to keep the best milk flow cows producing the average should cost let us say each or and interest cost of a total of the net income would be to produce this would take about otie orie halt half the time of 0 one man and is simply added income to that already being produced on the farm taking out the cost of the cows we have cash and the original stock tor for the years work now is the time to consider plans tor for your next years increase and whether it be one or five head to be added to the farm correct clarp for the increase must be made and now Is the time to make them that next spring may find this much increase to our resources resource S on most farms the securing ot of the pigs and chickens need not be considered in the original cost but where it is the money necessary to procure them would be of 0 minor consequence every farm cannot raise the same amount of 0 chickens but there is not a farmer in this section who cannot campot figure out some way to use the products byproducts by from his cows that would produce the same revenue or nearly so simply fit into your farm condition the roosevelt state tank bank and the commercial club are more than willing willid to co operate cooperate to the end that a greater weekly and monthly pay roll tor for the country be secured the big thing is to start now tor for that added income talk over with your neigh olirs and see how many cows can be profitably added in your comman ty cooperate co operate with the ones who will help to bring in the EOW dairy stock why not a operative cooperative co uintah basin ship shipment mert of dairy stock a full train load from cache valley idaho or other dairy sections it could be easily done and be the biggest industrial advertisement the uintah basin has ever made anyway let us operate cooperate co in some way and get the cows |
