FARM BUREAU TALKS
By H. A. IRELAND
The only way, or at least the best
way to prove whether a thing is good
or not, is to try it out.
chanical devise was left in this office
recently which looks good and which
deserve a thorough test. The said
devise is a small portable milk and
testing outfit, which the De
Laval Dairy Supply company, of Seat
tle, Washington, has kindly donated
to the Canyon county Farm bureau,
for use in the county. I can operate
the machine hut 1 have no cows, and I
would be glad to "get together" with
farmers who have cows tested but
have no machine.
A little me
cream
The dairy industry is increasing
rapidly in this county, and deserves
to do so At the same time I find
engaged in dairying who
vith the returns they
I
some men
arc dissatisfied
are receiving. I don't presume to say
who or what is to blame for the small
returns, but I suspect that those men
are keeping some cows that are not
making any profit on the feed they
consume.
The scales and the Babcock test are
the only practical means of proving
the worth of a dairy cow, and cither
one without the other is not sufficient.
One cow may be a heavy milker and
another be an extremely high tester
and yet both be unprofitable to the
owner, and it often happens that u
cow which has enjoyed the reputa
tion of being the best in the herd
proves to be one of the least profitable
when the real test is applied.

__ , . . , „ , , . ,
Dairying has a right to nourish in i
Canyon county, but if a man expects
to milk cows with any satisfaction or ;
profit to himself, he must know each
cow and just what she is doing. In
order that he may do this, dairymen in ]
some places are organizing cow test- ;
ing associations, each association em
ploying a man who devotes his full i
time to the testing of cows for mem- i
bers of the association. This county 1
- , ,, , , , ...
is hard v ready for such organizations,
,
and yet there should be considerable
work done along that line. If each j
individual cow owner could own a milk
testing outfit, the desired end would be
accomplished. This is hardly possible ,
for the present, and so I have secured
j
(
from the De I,aval Dairy Supply com
pany an outfit which I hope to be
able to use for the benefit of anyone
who wants to know just what his
cows are doing.
Clearly I connot, as a rule, make
special calls for the purpose of testing
single herds, so I would suggest that
a number of men in one community
prepare for a test at the same time
and call me when they are ready.
There will be no charge for this work
other than for the acid, (commercial |
sulphuric) which should he obtained j
at about 60 cents per gallon from
creameries or wholesale dealers. It is ;
not my purpose to do this work for the i
sake of checking the tests of creamer
ies or cheese factories, but solely for
the sake of helping dairymen to as
certain the truth in regard to the cows !
they are milking.
Too many inferior cows have been I
shipped into Idaho and sold to men :
who are keeping them at a loss. \
These animals ought to go to the block !
as soon as they can be located, and the j
only way to locate them is by a j
thorough test with scales and Babcock

It Wai a Tantalizing Schema, and It

There are many stories extant, amus
ing us well as instructive, of the
dodges resorted to by British soldiers
who wish to get "Invalided" home
from an undesirable station. There is
tbe case of the professed deaf und
dumb man. The patient, who appear
ed Nuddeuly and uuucountuhly to buve
gone deaf and dumb, when usked a
question, would stare straight to bis
front In stony silence.
The dumb man was removed to the
hospital for treatment, and upon bis
diet sheet each morning was written n
tempting array of hospital comforts
such as T. Atkins loves—rice pudding,
bacon, eggs, milk punch and even
beer This list of luxuries could he
studied by all who cared to read. But

but pliiln milk. Each morning. In
sympathetic voice, tbe officer inquired
of tbe orderly in front of tbe patient
whether each and every article of diet
had been provided. The orderly glibly
answered. "Yes, sir!"
"Did lie get his beer with his din

punch before lie went to bed?"
And ngulu would come from tbe or

At first tlie poor deaf and dumb
man's face would redden, but never a
word could lie hear or spenk. There
Is, however, a limit to all endurance,
and it was for that limit that tbe of
ficer waited. Fully convinced that the
orderly was a thief and a heartless
scoundrel and had been bagging tbe
comforts for himself, the patient could
stand it no longer.
"He's a liar, sir!" gasped he at last.
"I've had naught but milk for a week!"

Silo
This silo can be erected with the least cost of
any silo on the market. It requires no guy wires to
keep it from blowing down. There are no bands or
hoops to loosen or rust off. When once erected and
complete, it will stand the western wind storms
.without the slightest danger of blowing down. It
is absolutely the cheapest and most substantial silo
on the market at the present time.
For Cheapness, Simplicity and Durability
We Defy Competition
It is built out of 2x4's, any length or kind, the outer
edge having a filler of binder twine to make the circle All
the staging and scaffolding required in the construction of
this Silo is a platform ladder, which is used on the Silo
when completed.
