MILK! 
That’s what some dairymen report who use 
SO-BOS-SO KILFLY in flytime. Ten per 
cent is a common experience and the reason 
is plain. Worried, restless, ill-tempered 
cows will not give as much milk as those 
that are quietly contented.

Looki.vc, to the Future. —There is 
iniieli dissati.sfactiou conuected with the 
wool muddle, and some are di.scouraged 
with the future of sheep, but we must 
grow the mutton and wool for this coun¬ 
try, same as we produce pork. beef, cot¬ 
ton, corn and wheat. Common sense, bus¬ 
iness and patriotism deniaud it, and now, 
i since we m.ade a nice start for that pur- 
[ pose, every ewe fit to reproduce and every 
good ewe lamb should be .saved. It looks 
blue to the men who paid long jirices for 
indifTerent sheep, expecting dollar wool, 
and to others who might h;ive sold high, 
hut instead kept them full of high cost 
feed during a long, cold AA'iuter, and it 
catches the men who ueisi the money to 
meet iiayments and do not know how to 
realize on their clip. Fanners are u.se<l 
to .selling things when ready, at home, 
taking the money and applying it, but 
few can understand the hedges built 
about wool. It is a bad mix to many, 
but we must keep the sheep anyhow, and 
see they pay in future. This will result 
in (Hie of two things. llither it will 
down the slieej* industry in the fleece¬ 
growing States, or it will call out the 
latent fight in sheep men so they will 
protect the flocks, and I believe, from 
what I know of them, that it will he the 
latter. 
Lack of Okganization.— Take a look 
at ourselves and find the cause of trouble. 
.\ssociation "with sheei* has made sheep 
men gentle men, and they have stood 
alone, helpless against organized business. 
Right here, where there are flocks on 
most farms, we have been as helpless as 
if there was but one bunch in a county. 
AA e exercise good business judgment un¬ 
til the wool is clipped and then stand 
about, waiting for someone to take it off 
our hands, at his price. This is no re¬ 
flection on local buyers, because they are 
necessary, and they operate the best they 
can under their conditions. AA’hen we 
meet each other the question is: “AATiat 
are we going to get for wool?” Do you 
know any other class of business men 
who produce under such uncertiiinty? Do 
you suppose the wool manufacturers or 
salesmen ever waste their breath on such 
a question? Also, we have .stood about 
and seen our good wool carrying substi¬ 
tute. displaced by 100 to 200 fier cent of 
material of low value, and took it for 
granted that it was all right. Yes, and 
men who grow nice fibers of pure wool 
can be seen any day with clothing made 
from fibers .so short they have deserted. 
Now we are Americans, as patriotic as 
any: wool growing is a standard, useful 
and necessary industry, and Avhile we 
could drop it and engage in sure things, 
it is our duty to stick and make it pay. 
How can we? 
Ry Organiz.mtox. —AA'hile we stood 
alone, the people who wanted our wool, 
and got it, have been organized. Part of 
the work of that has been to influence us 
to grow more, and they appeared to have 
the funds to operate. They wanted more 
wool, and there is a little more of it going 
to them, as they need it. the easiest it ever 
traveled to them, and at as low. com- 
liaratively, as they ever secured it. At 
the prices paid for sheep, labor, feed, 
grown or bought, they are getting it at 
two-thirds cost. It will leave us at from 
(>() to 70 cents a pound, and the price, 
which will finally arrive by devious ways, 
will show the result of organization on 
one hand and neglect of it on the other. 
f'oMPAKisoN WITH Otiieks. —Take a 
look at cotton prices, more than double 
the cost of production, the result of busi¬ 
ness methods by growers and dealers, 
against business methods among manufac¬ 
turers. Cotton has .someone to look after 
it, but Avool has no friends. Cotton has 
had governmental. .State and all kinds of 
economic effort and propaganda to de¬ 
crease iiroduction and to turn toward 
wheat, corn. hogs, and even sheep, while 
wool has had the same agencies doing 
everything possible to increase it. Looks 
strange, doesn’t it? Ohio has more wool 
growers than any other State, and just 
one of them, by accident, was present 
when the price of wool was set. He w 
asked how many wool growers he repre¬ 
sented, while he represented nobody. That 
little circumstance has taught us some¬ 
thing. AA'e remark that cotton is neces¬ 
sary as wool, for clothing, but especially 
munitions, and while it is unlikely a price 
ever will be set, if it is, there will be 
friends to try to influence it. The cotton 
manufacturers want lower prices and can¬ 
not get them, but wool has no advocate. 
The Government, we gladly say, has a 
right to our wool, or boys, or anything it 
needs for the welfare of the nation, but 
the word “allocate” will always be an 
opprobrious one. Take the horse indus¬ 
try for example; but it is hardly fair for 
an illustration because it is established, 
with a suriflus, while wool is a deficit. 
►Say a man has a pair in his stable. An 
agent of the Government comes and says, 
“I want one of those horses and will take 
both at my price, hut will turn the other 
over to a horse buyer, and you will sure 
get your money some time.” It was one 
of the mistakes incident to war times. 
There must of necessity he many. 
The Ohio AA'ool Growers’ Associa¬ 
tion. —'AA'e have a State union well start¬ 
ed. There is intelligence enough among 
sheep men to get all they should have, if 
they go after it. They now see that they 
have always taken what was coming, but 
have awakeneil. There has never been a 
price dependent on supply and demand of 
wool, bccau.se the supply always was short 
and the iirice also. If growers had couu 
seled and planned, and put up a cent a 
pound for a working fund, that cent 
would have brought others back and self- 
respect with them. If they had given a 
cent a fleece, or like the fee to join our 
association, we would have the feeling 
of manliness we merit, instead of useless¬ 
ness. It i.s time we should he some¬ 
bodies. and take united action to grow all 
the wool needed in America, at least. 
There are many local .and county unions, 
principally to help Set the highest price 
for wool, hut these should be united in 
State unions. Ours is a State association, 
W’ith S. M. Cleaver, Delaware, president; 
Prof. C. S. Plumb, Columbus, A’ice-presi- 
dent. and .T. F. AAYilker. Gambier, secre¬ 
tary and treasurer. Our purpose is to 
encourage and jirotect sheep and avooI in¬ 
terests. Do you know of any economic 
union for a better purpose? We- want to 
put the sheep industry on a solid basis 
and give the sheej) the position of respect 
it merits in Ohio, and we cun win with 
the hell) of other unions, and grow the 
wool to clothe Americans. At present it 
is a shame with our intelligence and re¬ 
sources that the sheep industry is at the 
“tail end” of other endeavors. This is 
the turning point. If \ve talq* hold with 
confidence it will he a personal and na¬ 
tional gain, hut if we do not look after 
our interests, and the price of wool is 
too low, as it is now. and uncertain, as it 
lias always been, the sheei) will go to the 
stock yards, or become parasite incu¬ 
bators. That is a sorry view, hut is the 
truth, and we must ward off such disas¬ 
ter. AA’’e miLSt unite for fair treatment, 
while we stick to the sheep.

Turnips, Rape and Apples for Cows 
1. How large a quantity of turnips 
can be fed to a cow daily without in¬ 
juring the flavor of the milk? 2. AA’’ould 
rape or cabbage have the same effect as 
turnips? 3. Are apples in any way in¬ 
jurious to, cows? I have noticed cows 
wheni fed on them to act as if their teeth 
were sore or tender. a. w. p. 
Ontario. 
1. It is hardly the quantity of turnips 
that are f(>d to a cow that affect the flavor 
of her milk, hut rather the time of feed¬ 
ing. Hndcr no conditions should turnips 
be fed just before milking. The best time 
to feed them is directly after milking; 
A bushel a day may ho fed if no other 
succulence is fed in the ration. 
2. Rap(» or cabbage, particularly rape, 
would have a similar effect upon the milk 
as would turnips. 
3. It is not good policy to feed apples 
to cows. They contain little nutriment, 
and are likely to cause sore month if 
eateb in large quantities. n. F. j.
