Page iKter- cmmmz By Prof. A. B. Nystrom, Dairy Instructor State College, Pullman, Wash. (For Any Information Regarding This Department, Write A bore.) The Dairy Exhibit at the Inter-State Fair Some very interesting features were brought out at the inter-state fair this year in connection with the dairy exhibits. The north end of the dairy and food hall was fitted up with a large glass refrigerator kept cool by mechanical refrigeration, furnished by the Armstrong Ice Maohine Go. The butter display and contests were the first that had been held there, and considering the newness of the event it was indeed a success. There were nine entries of dairy batter, five of Inland Empire creamery and three of Eastern creamery. Mrs. W. N. Scott, of Spokane, won first in the dairy butter with a score of 92. Hazel wood, of Spokane won first in Inland Empire creamery with a score of 92%. and W. A. Rioharts, of Spokane got first in Kastern creamery, ■He «*S9|^i' r^F^^9H #Vfl I^^bßpt I IfeM ft v ''^^Bmnnlftlu^^B » « There is no needless delay about putting the horses up for the night and getting into your own comfortable home when the work is lighted — ; and lightened —by a Rayo ; lantern.

The various dairy companies had good displays of their products showing that a great deal of interest in dairy work is being taken in the Inland Empire. A new feature in the dairy work was the daily testing demonstrations carried on near the dairy building by Prof. Nystrom, of the state College. Those interested in building up their herds were invited to ask questions concerning the operation of the Bab cock test, and the best methods to pursue in weeding out the "star borders.'' Borne excellent dairy stock including all dairy breeds was shown. Mr. Munroe, of Spokane, received most of the honors in this line. 3£Muoh interest was taken in all dairy lines, which goes to show that people are generally waking up to the fact tbat the dairy industry is as im portant as other lines of agriculture. State College Dairy Has Bum per Silage Crop. It is a common opinion among the farmers of this Northwest that corn cannot be grown successfully here. It is true if we consider the crops that are grown in the corn belt as a standard for comparison, but it has been proven by the station at Pullman that it is not true when it is compar ed with other crops that can be grown here. Of course the conditions are prob ably different in the Palouse country than in many other sections of the state, but it is a know fact that before it was tried here, the opinion was tbat it would never grow. The corn for ensilage has just been harvested and from the sixty acres that was planted in the spring, a total of 410 tons of green corn was obtain ed, making an average of nearly seven tons per acre. Considering the price of the various feeds together with the large amount of nutrients in corn silage, the latter is worth about $5.00 per ton wbiob means a gross income of 135 per aore. When this is converted into dairy products it nearly doubles in value, and at the same time the fertility is nearly all brought back to the soil in manure. Such a orop oannot be grown every year to be sure, bat with the average weather conditions as has prevailed the past season, and with the proper tillage, such a crop can be grown by any one. For this Northwest it takes an ac climated seed, and a specially well prepared seed bed. Then if it gets the right kind of care a good crop is almost sure to result.

Stock for Sale at all times. Chimacum, Washington Watch the Cows. Every change in the season should suggest to every dairyman some change in the manner in which he cares for his qows. The rainy season has begun, and it is of the utmost importance that we keep our dairy cows dry and comfortable. Every drop of cold rain on the cows back, means that a certain amount of energy whioh ought to go to produce milk, must be taken to evaporate that water. Do not expect the delicate cow machine to perform well unless she has a good chance. Give her good nutritious feed and now since the pastures are going, and in some places are gone, provide her with some suc culent crop, such as kale, roots or silage so that her system will be lubricated. More care means more profit, so it is money in your pocket to watch these things. JERSEY BULL Calves "Like Begets Like."
