Simple Record Shows Which Cows Are Most Efficient ‘ and Profitable. :Every f;u'm cow is an “animal elevator” and every one pays a different price for the grain, hay and silage she cats, savs the Blue Valley Creamery Institute. Some farm. cows pay as high as 390 a ton for grain, and $33 a ton for hay, while other cows will pay $2l a ton for graln and $8 a ton for hay. . S If there were two market places in a town, one paying $92 a ton for grain and the other $2l, there is but little doubt which one would attract all the locally grown grain and hay farmers

Produce More Eggs Than Hens in Months When Prices Are Higher. Pullets are bigger and more profitable layers than hens, declares the Blue Valley Creamery Institute, in its suggestions for a good poultry flock. The principal reason for the superiority of young birds as layers is that they start laying early and produce a larger number of eggs than old - hens do during the months of November, December, January and February, when egg prices are higher. + A good example of the greater profitableness of pullets over hens is furnished by the records of a New Jersey poultry man on his flock of good layers. He found that in November his pullets laid an average of 6.5 eggs per bird as compared to an

Improper Care of Manure Means Loss of 5 Cents per . Pound Produced. i "Providing cows with proper feeds in .accordance with their ability to produce and taking good care of the - manure from each cow are the two sure ways for ecutting down the cost of producing butterfat, according to the Blue Valley Creamery Institute. . It is estimated that a dairy cow will produce "at least $25 worth of manure a year—one-half of which is lost by . the usual methods cf handling, As a good dairy cow will produce around 250 pounds of butterfat a year, this loss of $12.50 applied to thé butterfat produced by the cow means a loss of Warsaw Physician Suceumbs.

had to spare. Since every farm cow: is the “market place” for the grain and hay she consumes, it pays to know which individual cows are the most, efficient and most profitable. It takes less than a minute a day per cow to weigh each cow’'s grain feed and record her milk production. By keeping this simple record, a farmer s able to feed each cow according to profit above feed cost on each cow. Thig plan also makes it possible to secure maximum production from each cow and almost invariably the more a cow produces, the greater the profit she makes for her owner. Cow test ing assoclation records show that where cows produced 150 pounds of butterfat in a year, they returned $21.70 a ton for grain, $8.32 a ton for hay, and $2.22 a ton for silage; whgre cows produced 150 to 200 pounds of buttérfat, they returned $48.94 a ton for grain, $20.34 for hay, and $5.28 for sllage, and where they produced between 300-350 pounds of butterfat, they returned $92.42 for grain, $33.10 for hay and $8.76 for silage.

average of only 1.1 eggs for each of ‘his hens. In December, the pullets increased their production to an average of 9.3 eggs and the hens each presented him with an average of only one egg in return for one month’s feed and care. The total number of eggs laid by the pullets in this flock during the four months starting with November averaged 41.2 :nd by the hens in the same period, 15.7. During the | summer the production of the young and old birds was about the same, as | shown in the illustration above. At the end of the year, however, the pullets had a record of an average of 154.2 eggs per bird and the heng, 125.5 eggs. The superiority of pullets over hens in this flock is still greater when the total value of all the eggs laid during the year is considered. Because the pullets laid more eggs in winter than: the hens, the value of all the eggs they laid during the year was $3.81, based on average prices received by farmers in the*United States for eggs during the year ending October 185, 1926. The total value of the eggs laid by the hens during the same year was s2.B6—nearly a dollar less per bird or around $95 less per 100 birds. -_ ]

9 cents on each .pound of butterfat produced. The best way to care for manure is to spread it on the fields as fast as it is made, Manure is most valuable when it is fresh, because none of’ its valuable solids have had time to decompose and waste away in the barnyard. Spread on the fields quickly the goodness of manure gets -into the soil where it is valuable, Of all fertilizers, farm manure is the oldest, cheapest and most popu-’ lar. It Is rich in organic matter and ir. nitrogen, phosphorus and potash, These plant foods must be returned to the land if good crop yields dre to be maintained at lowest cost. Although farm manure lis perishable, most of its fertility value can be saved by proper handling and care, Plenty of bedding will help soak up and save the liquid excrement. Manure stacked in an uncovered pile suffers a big loss from rains which wash away its valuable constituents. If it cannot be haunled to the flelds daily, it should be kept covered and then spread over the land as often "as possible. e ; Gradless- Caskey. ~ Thorrold 8.

CREAM PRODUCERS Please Read and Consider

At this time of the year when farmers and cream producers are busy figuring up the profits, if any, from their farms and herds coveringthe closing vear, and looking forward, rather anxiously toward the new year considering where they may make greater profits, think of this,—it relates to cream,—— Tom, Dick and Harry, likewise Peter, Paul and John, are selling their cream each to a different creamery concern. - - More than 25 trucks are running the roads ragged around Ligonier gathering cream. This cream goes to a dozen different creameries; some is delivered directly to the creamery, some is shipped by rail to a distant creamery, most of it is picked up by the route man. The price paid is amout the same. ’ If all this cream were delivered to the Ligonier Creamery, it would pay from sto 10 cents more per pound of fat than any creamery operating in this territory could pay, or is paying now. Why ? : ; Because our volume would be so increased thereby, and our overhead expense so decreased thereby that a saving would result which would be added to every patron’s cream check. ' Why can the Constantine (Mich.) Creamery pay from 8 to 10 cents over the average price paid around here for cream? Because all the cream from the country around that point is sold to the home creamery. . . There are no more cows in the Constantine territory per square mile than there are around Ligonier, but the cream producers there are 100% for their home creamery. Therefore,~if you live near Ligonier, patronize the Ligonier Creamery ; if you live near Albion patronize the Albion creamery if you live near New Paris patronize the New Paris Creamery if near Middlebury patronize the Middlebury creamery and so on but patronize your home creamery and it wholeheartedly. ; - There is enough cream produced within a radius of ten miles of ‘Ligonier which if handled by the Ligonier Creamery would raise the level of cream prices to the Constantine level. ©~ : It is the fault of the cream producer and not the home creamery that he is not getting the high price for cream now. Heis paying for the maintenance of those 25 trucks He is paying for the maintenance of the dozens of cream stations scattered over this territory. He is paying the salaries of scores of cream station operators and field men employed by the big creamery concerns which operate in and around Ligonier. w ~ Don’t take our word for it, but give the matter a tryout during 1928. You can’t lose, and you will be convinced -that we have spoke truly. 4 . Y 5 ° e . vl- G iy . - _' The Ligonier Creamery
