Obviously  such  a  record,  worthwhile  for  pic¬ 
tures  of  the  sort  shown  above,  is  valuable  for  prac¬ 
tical  use  as  well.  Dated  negatives  of  buildings, 
stock,  crops  and  equipment  are  the  kind  you  want 
for  reference  and  year-to-year  comparison. 
And  it’s  all  easy — and  fun — with  a  Kodak.

HOGS  need  animal  food  to  build 
flesh  and  bone.  Dold-Quality 
Digester  Tankage  is  60%  animal 
protein.  Mix  with  grain  or  feed 
separately  in  hoppers  or  slops. 
Gives  better  results  than  grain 
alone;  saves  one-third  cost.  Tankage-fed 
hogs  show  more  pounds  when  marketed — and 
more  profit  per  pound.  Experience  proves  it.

Live  Stock  Notes 
Value  of  a  Purebred  Bull 
The  following  facts  come  to  us  from 
S.  D.  Hollis,  Farm  Bureau  Agent  for 
Newport  Co.,  R.  I. 
Iu  1914  G.  Alvin  Simmons  of  Middle- 
town,  R.  I.,  purchased  the  purebred  Hol¬ 
stein  bull,  Balsam  Calypso  De  Kol 
13S779.  He  was  a  good  individual  and 
showed  good  blood  in  his  pedigree,  yet  no 
one  considered  him  a  phenominal  animal. 
Mr.  Simmons  at  that  time  had  a  grade 
herd  of  ordinary  quality.  He  used  this 
bull  in  the  herd  for  about  three  years 
and  raised  several  heifer  calves  from  him. 
Then  partly  because  the  bull  was  get¬ 
ting  large  and  somewhat  difficult  to  han¬ 
dle,  and  partly  to  avoid  inbreeding,  he 
sold  the  animal  to  the  butcher. 
In  1919  Mr.  Simmons  joined  the  cow¬ 
testing  association,  organized  by  the  New¬ 
port  County  Farm  Bureau,  and  has  con¬ 
tinued  in  its  membership  each  year,  care¬ 
fully  following  its  records  and  each  year 
disposing  of  the  poorer  cows  in  the  herd 
and  feeding  according  to  milk  flow. 
Early  in  the  work  of  the  association  it 
was  noticed  that  the  daughters  of  this 
bull,  then  just  coming  into  milk,  gave 
promise  of  being  heavy  producers.  In 
July,  1923,  one  of  these  cows,  Number  IS, 
surprised  the  association  with  the  re¬ 
markable  record  for  the  month  of  1919 
lbs.,  milk  testing  5.2  per  cent  fat  and 
containing  99.S  lbs.  butterfat.  The  cow 
is  now  six  years  old  and  freshened  with 
her  fourth  calf  June  26.  This  record  so 
far  exceeded  any  previous  monthly  rec¬ 
ord  in  the  association,  the  next  highest 
having  been  made  in  June  of  this  year, 
by  a  cow  owned  by  David  A.  Brown,  that 
produced  87.7  lbs.  of  fat,  that  an  investi¬ 
gation  of  the  records  of  this  cow  was 
made  by  County  Agent  Sumner  D.  Hollis. 
Investigation  showed  that  her  record  for 
last  year  was  11, OSS  lbs.  milk  and  393 
lbs.  fat.  Further  investigation  showed 
that  all  the  daughters  of  this  bull  had 
made  creditable  records  last  year,  a  com¬ 
plete  statement  of  their  records  follows : 
No.  1,  9,108  lbs.  milk,  322.82  lbs.  fat ; 
No.  2,  9,371  milk,  446.48  fat;  No.  3,  8,- 
717  milk,  348.69  fat;  No.  4,  9,917  milk, 
318.17  fat;  No.  5,  7,834  milk,  348.S2 
fat;  No.  6,  8,454  milk,  299.15  fat;  No. 
18,  11,088  milk,  393.46  fat. 
The  average  production  of  the  seven 
daughters  left  by  this  bull  in  the  herd 
was  9,217  lbs.  milk  and  354  lbs.  fat. 
What  an  object  lesson  these  figures  show, 
in  the  value  of  a  sire,  and  when  it  is 
taken  into  consideration  that  these  daugh¬ 
ters  were  all  from  ordinary  grade  cows, 
what  would  that  sire  have  been  worth 
to  Mr.  Simmons  if  he  could  have  been 
retained  in  the  herd  until  he  had  ful¬ 
filled  his  usefulness  as  a  breeder? 
Going  still  further  into  Mr.  Simmons’ 
records,  it  was  found  that  in  the  four 
years  that  he  has  been  testing  his  cows 
through  the  association  his  production 
per  cow  has  doubled.  This,  Mr.  Sim¬ 
mons  states,  is  a  result  of  the  testing 
work  as  he  has  profited  largely  by  the 
better  feeding  methods  advocated  by  the 
tester  and  in  the  elimination  of  the  poor¬ 
er  cows  in  the  herd,  each  year  showing 
better  production  than  the  one  before  it. 
How  much  would  such  a  sire  and  the  rec¬ 
ord  of  four  years  of  testing  and  record 
keeping  be  worth  in  your  herd?  Is  not 
the  thought  worthy  of  careful  considera¬ 
tion? 
Mowing  Away  Hay 
I  read  what  B.  L.  Hathaway  says 
about  dumping  hay  in  big  mow  for  sev¬ 
eral  years.  I  filled  a  mow  20x25  ft.  with 
practically  no  stowing,  and  I  think  my 
way  might  help  you  out.  I  put  a  3-in. 
plank  12  in.  wide  under  the  track  on  the 
big  beams,  so  that  when  the  hay  drops 
from  the  fork  it  will  roll  pretty  well  to 
the  side  of  the  mow.  Sometime  *  a  fork- 
full  will  divide  and  roll  both  ways.  It 
lightens  up  the  hay  and  it  doesn’t  pack 
so  hard  as  when  it  falls  in  one  place.

Experience  teaches  that  no  man  or 
set  of  men  can  day  after  day  produce 
milk  free  from  sediment.  It  is  vitally 
important  to  strain  off  all  the  sedi¬ 
ment  immediately  after  milking. 
We  guarantee  that  our  Dr.  Clark  Purity 
Milk  Strainer  will  remove  every  last  bit  of 
sediment,  and  no  other  strainer  will.  Make 
us  prove  it. 
The  Dr.  Clark  invariably  wins  first  prize  at 
every  show  where  exhibited.  More  than 
ten  million  quarts  of  milk  are  strained 
through  it  daily.  Economical  and  conven¬ 
ient  for  both  the  big  and  small  milk  pro¬

dirt  that  the  other  strainers  can’t.
