DASHING TRIPS IN AUTOS
TO ORANGE.GROVES NOVEL
An innovation which bids fair to be
comes very popular with homeseekers
and investors, particularly with those
Interested in orange lands, has been
inaugurated by the Riverside Groves
and Water company, owners of La
Sierra Heights, a citrus tract of 6000
acres at Riverside. They have estab
lished automobile excursions between
this city and La Sierra Heights three
times a week, with the privilege of
making the trip one way by train.
These excursions will no doubt be taken
advantage of by many Interested per
sons and reservations are already
being made.
ACTIVE AT SAN PEDRO
The Pilot states thta a party of

A DAIRY COUNTRY '
Three factors of great importance in
the economical production of milk are:
Good cows, an abundance of palatable
food 'ln a balanced ration, and com
fortable surroundings.
Wherever these factors can be com
bined with little expense will be found
profitable dairying, provided of course
there Is a good market at hand. The
discussion, briefly, of these points with
reference to the Imperial valley Is the
object of'this article.
Good Cows
Whether a cow is adapted to the
production of milk depends upon her
breed characteristics and her individ
ual characteristics. Since the greater
part of the cows of the valley, were
brought here from other parts of the
country, we cannot Judge what may be
the Influence of Imperial conditions on
the breed characteristics of cows. Upon
their Individual characteristics, howev
er, we believe the great abundance ofr
nitrogenous food and warm climate the
year round will have a marked influ
ence.
Dairymen know that only the strong,
vigorous cow can make the maximum
amount of milk from a given amount
of food. W. O. Henry, in his "Feeds
and Feeding," cites an experiment
which goes to show that cows In poor
condition would yield approximately
four pounds of milk for every pound of
dry matter in her food, whereas a cow
in excellent condition will yield eight
pounds. The New York experiment
station at Cornell found that large
cows made better use of their food than
small cows; and that they gave more
milk both absolutely and relatively
than small cows. These facts have a
considerable significance when we know
that the dairy cows of tho valley are as
a rule In excellent condition. We doubt
if another section can show dairy cows
ln better condition generally.
These facts have a still greater sig
nificance. Good breeders of dairy stock
recognize that the individuality of a
cow depends largely upon the care she
had when young. Heifers, then, under
Imperial conditions, ought certainly to
have a big advantage over those raised
where for months In winter they stand
ln a barn lot or in tho lee of a straw
stack, using their meager food for heat
and energy rather than the building of
tissue.
■ In colder climates the dairyman glad
ly welcomes the tlmo when he Is able to
turn his cows out to pasture. Not only
is he saved the expense of winter feed
ing, but his cows return Mm a better
profit. Cows are expected to give the
best results of the year when on grass
pasture. The use of the silo is but an
effort of the dairyman to provide a
summer food for the winter months.
In imperial we have a summer food the
year round, and often the cows are
yielding the largest amount of milk at
the time butter fat Is highest In price.
One of the commonest mistakes of
dairymen Is to feed too little, specially
where winter feeding is practiced. Per
haps 60 per cent of a proper ration for
a dairy cow is utilized In the mainte
nance of her body, 1. c., the production
of heat and energy and the rebuilding
of wasted tissues. The other 40 per
cent is utilized in the production of
milk. It Is the poorest economy, then,
to feed less than abundantly, for if a
cow is fed 80 per cent of what she re
quires, she will either make milk at the
expense of her bodily tissues or will
utilize for milk only half of what she
Is capable of utilizing. A cow in pas
ture grazes to satisfaction, and though
there Is much waste of food by tramp
ling it under foot, pasturing Is often
more economcal than feeding too little.
It is true that there are perhaps but

few dairymen in the valley feeding a
well balanced ration; but conditions
are such here that a balanced ration is
more nearly approached than in most
sections where no special effort is given
in that direction. Two dairy papers In
this country make a practice of work
ing out balancing rations for farmers,
from different feed; and it is surprising
to note how often alfalfa Is suggested.
This Is true of the balanced rations
proposed by experiment station litera
ture. With alfalfa pasture or hay as
the main food the dairyman has little
difficulty in providing a balanced ration
by the use of a little barley, corn, sor
ghum or roots. •
There are but a few weeks during the
heat of summer in Imperial when cows
are not more comfortable than they are
In barns in the north. During the past
year cows in pasture continuously have
not at any time "fallen off" in milk
flow to a noticeable extent on account
of inclement weather. There Is, in fact,
no condition during the year which
makes for the discomfort of cows which
cannot be corrected at moderate cost.
A weed shade or trees .binder which
some hay is provided during the hot
months, together with good water han
dily arranged—this latter can be had
by putting a plank or cement parti
tion in the adobe hole and fencing so
the cows can reach over this partition
to the water—is all that is necessary
to provide comfortable conditions for
cows.
