How’s this for a record for one week’s production? 
Beechwood Anna Hengerveld II, owned by A, H. Krahn, Dundee, Ill., gave 
567 Pounds Milk—^Average 81 Pounds Per Day 
24 Pounds Butter—Average 3.43 Pounds Per Day 
and she’s not a world’s champion either. This was an A. R. O. test. The fact that 
INTERNATIONAL 
Special Dairy Feed 
was half her ration proves what thousands of dairymen already know- 
is a big milk producer. 
Beechwood Anna Hengerveld II is just a regrular business cow. You 
may have cows in your herd every bit as go^ as her, and it fed on 
International, would do as well as she did.

Beef Sires in Dairy Herd.s 
The writer is a firm believer in jtnre- 
lired live stoek. He lias owned and now 
owii.s recorded animals, lie believes in 
better farm .stock. lienee he has the 
right to criticise some of the farm 
writers .and advisers who say that it is 
not right to use a beef-producing bull 
upon the cows of .a dairy herd. These 
writers lead the dairyman to infia- that 
such a procedure will spoil the herd for 
all time. They also say that the off¬ 
spring from such a cross will be useless 
for either beef or milk production. If 
the men who give such advice would get 
out and look around a little and see what 
has l>een done .and what is being done by 
ing nurse cows of the jtonn’st cow.s, the 
kieki'i'S and the hard milkta-s. »4uch a 
idan will give the fanner a ehaueo to get 
Ills second wind, to think a. little and jiiii’- 
tially to free him.'^elf from the milk trusts 
and combines. Many f.ariii'a's in the 
Middle West and a few in the extreme 
East are now doing this. I’he plan is 
worth consideration. T’he farmer avIio 
will cut loo.se from superstition and 
habit and try it will make money faster 
and easier than he has been doing. At 
the ri.sk of being oalb-d .a te.aebex* of 
heretical doctrines, as I wa.s called a 
dozen years ago. I urge Eastern farmers 
to interest themselves in l)eef jn-oduetion.

Sunflower for Silage 
li.ast Spring I had a field that wa.s too 
wet to plant to corn at the proi>er time, 
so when it was dry enough I drilled in 
sunflowers and Kentucky “Wonder beans. 
These were planted .Inly 12th and they 
matured enough to go into the .silo with 
the corn. I put a few loads through the 
cutter without mixing any corn with 
some jiractical farmers they might 
modify their advice somewhat. 
Oiveu a herd of strictly dairy cattle 
of any or all dairy breeds or grades 
therefrom. Given jileuty of pasture, 
roughage and silage. Given an owner 
who likes cattle and who wishes to make 
money faster than it can be made out 
of the exclusive dairy busiues.s, ;i man 
who desires to supplement the creamery 
check once a year by a check that is 
larger than the aggregate of all' the milk 
checks of the year, and wdiy not let him 
do so if it can be done to bis advantage 
•and to the benefit of his land’? For be it 
kuow'n the fertilizer from a herd of beef 
cattle is about as valuable as that from 
a herd of dairy cattle. Let this man buy 
a first-class beef bull. Let him select to 
suit his fancy, from any of tlie beef 
breeds. The Galloway is as sure as any 
to give results, and the calves from such 
a cross will have .the beef type to such a 
di'gree that they will be sure and ready 
sellers, either as feeder.s or when ready 
for the block. Of if be prefers be can 
try the Shorthorn, the Hereford, the 
Angus or the Polled Durham. He can 
also get good results from the u.se of a 
Red Polled sire and his heifer calves Avill 
make excellent dairy cows if he Avishes 
to save them for the future replenishing 
of tills herd. For one, two or even three 
years this breeding sire can be retained. 
Nearly every calf from such a cross, if 
the sire have individuality and jn-epo- 
teuey, will make excellent and iirofitable 
lieef. AVhen the time comes that the 
owner wishes to rencAV his dairy herd he 
can for one year secure u strictly dairy 
sire and thi-ongh him get the calves from 
Avhieh to select his future cows. During 
the time that he has been using the beef 
sire he has made some money. He has 
sold each season a carload of high-priced 
beef, and bis dairy herd has been retained 
intact. If he finds milk prices too Ioav 
for profit he can all the better fit bis 
calves for gruAvth and market by mak- 
tliem. When 1 came to feed that por¬ 
tion to the cows this ^Viuter I found that 
the cows did not relish them quite as 
Avell a.s they did the silage that Avas 
mostly corn, but T did not have to throw 
any of it aAvay, and I could not notice any 
shrinkage in the milk flow. 
SunfloAvers are harder to cut than corn, 
because the heads are iipt to get tan¬ 
gled Avith their neighbors, also more 
botber.some Avheu loading and unloading 
the corn Avagon. However, they have 
one ledeemiug feature besides being a 
quick crop. They will stand a bard frost. 
Last Fall I Avas short of help, and I 
wanted to save all the Corn I could, so 
that part of the sunfloAver patch was 
still standing to take the third lieaA’y 
frost. ’I'he first tAvo frosts had made 
very little difference in the apiiearauee of 
the field, but the third one Avas ai>par- 
ently too much. NeA'ertheles,s, aa'o had a 
good mes.s of Kentucky Wonder beans 
that Avere picked aft*‘r tiie third frost.
