It pays!

1: has been said. “it is just as unwise to overfeed a ‘poor cow gs it is to be stingy with a good producer." Many samples which will be cited on this subject of good producers will be taken from dairy cattle. but with slight ‘ehai‘i(ges, will apply to all live- toc . I High 'Producers are more ac- nnomical and the financial return over feed costs is much greater. Figures based on United States gxpel'iI'l1El’ltl in 1948 show that the cost of producing 100 pounds of milk for a cow which yearly pro- duces 150 pounds of butterfat 15 iilst twice that of a cow which piuduces 550 pounds of butterfat. For that year, the extra value received from the high producer .. as $369. but the extra feed need- pd was only $68. The extra cost nr producing 100 pounds of milk for a low producer is attributed in: first, it costs very little more :0 feed a good cow over the cost of feeding a poor one; second, the uverhead costs for building, etc.. are very little more for a good cow. The fact that a good cow produces much more lowers the post of producing 100 pounds.

High producers ‘are more ef- ficient because they have:

1 A great inherited capacity for milk production.

2. A strong constitution.

1. Ability to consume and util- 1:9 is great amount of feed.

it pays to feed a good cow. Al- though there is slightly greater digestibility of the feed when a cri\\' is on a scanty ration. yet her decreased milk production will greatly offset this advantage.

The Production of Clean Milk

(“heeso and buttermaking begin on the farm. There can be no question about that. Clean. hweet .’|;i\-ored milk is fundamental to grind cheese and butter. The fol- lowing is an outline of the methods to use in producing clean. wholesome milk.

Health. —- Keep only healthy cows. Do not sell milk from cows that have tuberculosis, bang's .il.\'I."dSe or mastitis. Do not use milk from a cow with is diseased udder. Discard blood tainted or abnormal milk. Keep cows out of ,l‘.\'afnp land and stagnant water. R4-spy milk bacteria are often pre-

si-iit in stagnant water. Period of Lactation — Cows late in their lactation period

often produce salty milk. There is no remedy for these defects. The cows should he turned dry. Do not sell milk obtained from rows 15 days before and 5 days after calving.

General Conditions —- Dirty rows will mean dirty milk. Keep the hair clipped short on the ud- der. legs and ﬂanks at all times. Curry and brush the cows daily. The udder should always be wash- rd before milking. Use a cloth dipped in a pailful of chlorine solution. If cloth becomes dirty replace it with a new one. Wash and dry the cloths at the end of the milking period.

DUST. Avoid feeding hay im- ma-diately before or during milk- Eng. Keep dust out of the mills by keeping the air in the barn rea- sonably free from dust during milking. Cobwebs collect dust. Rt-move cobwcbs from ceiling. walls. ledges and ventilators.

FLIES. Flies are filthy, they siiu-ad disease. They deposit filth nn walls, windows, ceiling and pqiiipment. They torment cows and may reduce milk flow. They are enemies and should be re- Dressed. A fly may carry thou- sands of bacteria into the milk. Flies should be controlled by: i~m-uvina. scrocninc. providing

proper drainage and sewage dis- polal, avoidance of accumulations of manure. decaying straw and refuse in which ﬂies lay eggs. Remove the manure to fields, dur- ing summer every 3 days or oftener; or store it in a tight screened and properly closed shed to control the movement of flies.

sanitation of Bars. — Re move the manure and used bed- ding a distance of at least 50 feet from the barn. Clean thl barn twice daily. Sweep the floor and sprinkle it with lime. Remove uneaten feed from the mangers. Keep out dogs. hogs and chickens. wash the milk stool. whitewash the interior of the milking barn as needed. l-lave stable well light- ed and ventilated.

_ Drying Off Cows

The following five points seem important in drying off cows. Cows Should not be starved into going

ry.

Cows with sound udders are best dried off abruptly. Bad quart- ers should be dried off by inter- mittent milklng. Animals should be watched carefully for per- sistent udder congestion that may indicate infection. Cows should be known individually so that good judgment can be used in regard to selecting the right method of drying them off. If they are giv- ing more than twenty pounds of milk daily abrupt ccssation_ may not be desirable.

Barnyard Babies

To help have more young ani- mals these suggestions are offer- ed. Feed the dame a complete ration, provide proteins. vitamins and minerals including legume hay.

Keep brood sows. ewes com- fortable and clean. free from lice, mites and filth.

Have the new animals born on clean pasture or in clean, dry well bedded quarters, free from chilly drafts.

Toward the end of the gestation period be alert to assist at birth if necessary. Disinfect the navels of the young.

Be sure new born animals are nursing properly. , Calves need colostrum.

Watch for scouring? it may be a sign of improper feeding, over- fceding or of disease.

At the first sign of ailing health in brood or young stock. obtain a diagnosis. Find out whether disease, parasites or faulty nutri- tion is responsible. Corrective action, started promptly may pre- vent costly losses.

Club News

The sixth meeting of the Alex- andra Holstein Calf Club was held at Alexandra School on June 10. The president. Glen Benton. oc- cupied the chair. The roll call, which was to be answered with a dairy food and its protein con- tents: was responded to by seven members. Three members were absent. Mrs. Cyril'Jones was the Club leader present. Rev. Mr. Tilly was present also. The min- utes were read and approved. The treasurer reported $20.37 in the funds. Collection amounted to tic. The next meeting, which will be a judging class. is to be held at the home of Janet Jones on June 24. The next business meeting is to be held at the home of Douglas Robertson on July 15. The lesson outline was read in turns by the members. The tests for May and June were written. after which Rev. Mr. Tilly gave an interesting talk that was enjoyed by everyone.

A judging class of the Bedcque

Many summers ago when I vis- ited London and Paris I was dis- appointed to see only tired look- lng folks and tourists like myself on the streets, in the ‘shops, and in the restaurants and places of amusement. Where were the beautifully dressed people, the exciting ones I had heard and read about? A stranger visiting New York City for the first time in summer might ask himself the same question and e same an- swer would probably hold good. Those who lend glamour to a city do not remain after summer of- ficially.begins. They take off in great ships: or in their yachts; or to their wooded estates, or per- haps only to some elegant re- sorts. So it seems at least.

Perhaps on the Island, the tak- ing off isn't as a rule so dra- matic. but who doesn't know friends and neighbours in town who leave cool homes and pretty gardens within sight of fields and beaches, once the calendar says Summer is here? There must be other reasons besides weather that sends them forth.

Anyway. it was hot enough in New York two weeks ago. when I left, to justify the frantic rush away from the city. Hundreds of thousands of weary wilted men and women gasped through the working hours and then crowded into subway. buses, trains and cars headed for hills. mountains and ocean. Millions who stayed filled the public squares and parks. But large numbers found a measure of outdoor life on their own roof-tops. Roof gardens, once associated with swanky pent- houses. were seen everywhere. From my window an the eleventh floor of an apartment house over- looking the Hudson, many such roof gardens were spread before me. Three were my favorites and shared my attention with the shining river and the boats ﬂoat-

lng upon it.

One could be called a roof gar- den only by courtesy of a few colored deck-chairs and a potted plant. But a half dozen young people sun-bathed there and sang and danced-to a battered _guitar ss happily as if it were brilliant with ﬂowers and richly equipped.

The second roof garden was as cozy as an old fashioned sitting room. A hedge of ivy enclosed a small space where two up- holstered chairs and table cover- ed with a paisley shawl stood on a flower-patterned hooked rug. The white-haired couple who spent hours here reading and dosing and admiring the view. seemed» to be- long less in New York than on the lsland. Perhaps they had come from the Island.

For real fun however. the third roof garden was placed pro- _videntially just below my window and not more than two feet away. Were you ever lucky enough to have as I did, in full sight and hearing such a set up as a very young mother and father, their six month's old baby .and . . . a very small and frolic- some . .

. monkey’! The parents, twenty-one and twenty-two re- spectively il asked them) ob-

viously found the monkey far more interesting than the baby who after all, just lay in his crib and cooed. They put the monkey through a hundred tricks and the clever little creature joyously responded. While I was doing my last minute pack- ing I stopped from time to time to watch the monkey running from the young man to the young wo- man who each in turn shared an ice-cream cone with their lively friend!

I have an idea. The newer houses in town have flat roofs. Shall we start a movement for roof-gardens? And perhaps import a number of Java monkeys’!

V-E Calf Club was held at the home of Wilfred Craig on Mon- day evening, June 14. On com- pletion of he judging class, the members conducted their regular monthly meeting. A discussion on feeds for hogs ard dairy cattle was given by the Prince County Fleldman. Keith Clay. New mem- bers paid their entry fees and the meeting closed with the de- cision that the next judging class would be held at the home of Ed- win Lord, Bedeque.

The monthly meeting of the Gowan Brae Calf Club was held in the school on June 10 with an attendance of 13 members. The meeting was opened by repeating the 4-H Club Pledge. It was de- clded that a judging class be held on Wednesday, June 16. at Char- lie MacDonald's. Test No. 3 was written. There being no further business the meeting was adjourn- ed.

The regular monthly judging business meeting of the “Busy Bee’ Calf Club was held on June 14 at seven o'clock at the home of Garth and Eleanor Coffin. The business meeting was ended by a very interesting speech on the "Ayrshire Breed," given by Joan Douglas. Following this a re- creation period led by Dorothy Coffin was enjoyed by all.

The Sherbrooke Calf Club held their regular monthly meeting at the home of Peter and John Dekkers on June 8 with four- teen members present and five absent. The meeting was opened with the singing of 0 Canada and roll call was answered with each member's highest mark made in

Urge Traffic For Canadian Poris

MONCTON, (CP) —— The Mari- time provinces board of trade endorsed today a resolution ‘ask- ing that more Canadian import and export traffic be routed through Canadian ports. The action was taken at an execu- tive meeting.

Originating with the Saint John board of trade. the resolution is being presented to a Canadian Chamber of Commerce sitting late today.

W. J. Borrie of Vancouver, pres- dent of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, addressed a noon luncheon.

G. W. Wilson of Truro presided at the Maritime board executive meeting this morning.

The annual board meeting will be in Halifax Oct. Si and 4 in con- junction with the annual meeting of the Canadian Chamber of Com- merce.

of Cyrus Gallant‘s in St. Phillip. The regular approach to judging was changed in that the members were asked to find and describe all the faults in the cows instead of placing the class and giving reasons. Following this, it was decled that the next meeting would be a regular judging class and to be held at the home of Victor Arsenault.

At the present time, there are eight calf clubs in Prince County with the majority of these clubs east of Summerside. We would like to see more Calf Clubs in and Al-
