Live Stock and Dairy 
Does Purebred Stock Pay ? 
In the Ilolstein-l-’riesian Register of 
April 35, 1015, staiul.s the following 
record: , 
“I’icterje P.rookside Posch. Xo. 21.3100; 
ago. 2 yi-s. 30 months and IS days, gave 
520 4-10 lbs., testing .‘l.fiO, making over 
24 lbs. of butter (10.27 of fat)”—Ad¬ 
vanced Register Association of America. 
.T. L. Ilume.s, the owner of this cow, 
has the following certificate: “Thirty- 
day record 2.1 OS 2-10, SO.OSI! butter fat 
making over one hundred lbs. of butter.” 
In Api-il, lOK), slie stood second in but¬ 
ter i)rodiietion for .‘U) days. At the time 
I talked with Mr. Humes (in the Fall 
of 1!)10) she stood tliird (senior two- 
year-old). IMr. 11 limes said: 
“I always liked good stock, hut was 
interi'sted only in horses. Cows had no 
charm fop m(>. When it came time for 
me to take my father’s farm off his hands 
he made tlie terms easy for me. He had 
always been a cautious and conservative 
farmer. He believed in saving the jien- 
nie,s, and he never plunged. He disap- 
of purebri'd animals in the T’nited 
Stato.s. 
“One should take good care of pure¬ 
bred stock from the very beginning. .V 
lieifer calf should be kept growing every 
day till she freshens. The fir.st year is 
the time to get the growth. We feed 
whole milk for four months, .\fter that 
we gradually work into a ration of 
ground oats and clover hay.” 
I aslci'd Mr. Humes if I might write 
lip his e.xperienee. 
“Yes,” he .said, “if it will help otliers. 
I have nothing to sell, so it will not be 
in the nature of an advertisement. Rut 
I would like to encourage farmers to get 
a little more jileasiire along with their 
hard work. It certainly does lighten the 
drudgery of ceaseless work with a dairy 
wlien tliere is a chance tliat yon may 
some day own a record-breaker.” 
Mr. Humes is a good business man, 
which means that he has strong common 
sense. Such men snccei'd at whatever 
tliey turn tlieir liand to—i:i • "t because 
of their excellent methods. . .d in part 
Pieterje Brookside Posch 213100. Fig. 331 
proved strongly when I paid a thousand because their good judgment prevents them 
dollars for three cows and a bull. But I from going into foolish ventures, 
had my own ideas. I added to my herd ellen e. 1)E GRAFF. 
wheiH'ver I found a good cow that I - 
thonglit was woi-th tlie money. I was 
entirely witliout experience, and made the 
mistake of not buying tlie cf>ws on tost, 
record, or breed. I should have paid the 
whole .$1,(X)0 for a hull, and then got 
females as liest I could. Owing to this 
mistake I was longer in getting started. 
I fooled away two years in this w!iy. 
“After I woke up the next thing I did 
was to pay .$4(K) for the use of a hull for 
three months. Tlion a neighbor and I 
went in together, and ive paid ,$2,000 for 
a bull. Tliis venture lias proven suc¬ 
cessful. I believe in co-operation in these 
things.” 
“But,” I said, “your sneeess is phe¬ 
nomenal, is it not? Not everyone could 
hope to have your luck.” 
Silo Questions 
Will you toll me how to build a ^small 
silo inside liarn? I planned to 
make it about four feet square, double- 
boarded from matched stuff, wdth roofing 
paper in between, and putting a six or 
eight-inch board to cut off the corner. 
\Vould it he all right to use an ordinary 
power cutting box to cut the corn? Could 
tlie corn be elevated with a homemade 
elevator or conveyor? If my plan is not 
practical please tell me tlie smallest size 
silo it would be practical to build, and 
how many cows I would have to liave to 
feed it fast eiiongli; also how many acres 
of corn it would take to fill it? When is 
the proper time to cut corn for putting it 
into a silo? Would cows do well if fed 
on silage, hay and grain the year nnuid. 
without being turned out to pasture at 
all? AS'. .T. K. 
New York. 
“No luck about it. I Live all the way 
through gone witli the utmost care, count¬ 
ing the cost, of every step. This is not a 
very grateful farming country here, to be 
sure, so the raising of purohreds might 
be more lu-ofitahle in relation to the 
profits to be had from farming hero than 
in other seetions, hut my idea is that no 
matter how fertile a country is, the pure¬ 
bred cow is the best investment. While 
a careful farmer might make a moderate 
success at dairy farming, lie would, by 
going into purebred stoek, make a bril¬ 
liant success. My own success has been 
beyond my expeetations. 
“I insure my cows, during the calving 
season—that is. of course, my best cows 
—and then I take it off, and get tlie re¬ 
bate. It costs S per cent, a yeai-. Fire 
and lightning insurance is, of course, 
much cheajier. I put my hull calves out 
to farmers, letting them jiay the insur¬ 
ance and feed the animal for its .service 
during the year. There is a double pur¬ 
pose in this. I get the growth of the 
hull, and the dam may inerease her rec¬ 
ord, thus adding materially to the value 
of the offspring. I do not believe that 
purebred stock will ever be any lower, 
as there is at present only two per cent. 
Building the silo in the barn is all 
right, if you have good roof ventilation, 
hilt a .silo four feet square is not practi¬ 
cal, because there is not weight enough 
of the silage to iivercome the “bind” on 
the walls, and so prevents tlie compact¬ 
ness neces.sary to expel the air. and pre¬ 
vent molding, and decay, which would 
folloAV the fermenting stage. If you can 
apply some sort of weight, like screw 
pressure, to make the silagi* so compact 
tliat it will weigh around 45 pounds to 
the cubic foot, it will he all right, hut tlie 
cost and trouble would counterbalance all 
attempted hi’ttermeiit of the silage, over 
the same amount of fodder well cured, 
and fed “as father used to do.” 
You could not afford the exiiense of 
filling such a .small silo with a power out¬ 
fit. I doubt if it will pay to make fodder 
into silage unle.ss the silo is eight feet 
sciuare, and 24 feet in height, holding 
something like 30 tons. If your silo four 
feet sipiare was 24 feet in height, and was 
packed solid full, it Avould be liardly 
eight tons in amount, enough for two 
cows six mouths. 
Cows are kept by scores of dairymen 
the entire year on silage, hay. and the 
protein foods. Turning out to imsture,
