to be considered, — one directly North of Grand Stand, and the other
upon what is known as the "Fleming Tract" abutting the East bound-
ary of the present Fair Grounds.

Your Committee finds that in order to erect 200, Il'sll', box stalls,
which- is the number estimated required, it will take 10 barns about
43' X 120'. If these barns were put North of Grand Stand, the road
running North and South in rear o£ Grand Stand would have to he
moved some to the West, and then the harna would occupy the space
from the present Poultry Building to the road running Bast and West
at Ihe North end of the Grounds.

We believe this location to ba most desirable, but the question arises,
IE it could not he used to better advantage for other purposes.

We find that the so-called "Fleming Tract,' if purchase be made, from
the North entrance, a distance of 1,700 feet. South, would contain suf-

fic!«nt high land fcr Bald hams, the only objection urgad agalost said
location being ths- distance fiom the home Btretch and the Judges'
atand. Shotild the batne be located on tbla tract, then it would be
necessary to erert at the North end of the Grand Stand, a varmlng-out

Committee.
Milwaukee, Nov. 26, 1099."

The report waa laid over until next aesBlon of meeting.
The Committee on Grand Stand reported as follows:
"Your Committee baa viaited tbs Iowa and Minneiiota Grand Stands,
and Hnds them both very good atrueturea for the purpoie, yet, con-
siderable different In structure and coat.

The Iov.a stand is at prssent 109 feet wide and 368 feet long, built
in eight sections, and coat J91,000, with ssatlng capacity of about 7.000.
This, when finished, will alio fiirnleh a good, large exhibition room,
and an exhibition gallery.

The Minnesota Stand le 378 feet long, 171 feet wide, and 105 feot
high, with four exhibition floora, built at a cost of I27G.O0O. and Beat-
ing 11,170 people.

Your Committee iias ronchu'cd that the Iowa type of building, wlih
some modlficationx bonowEd ficm Minnesota plan will be best suited
to Wisconsin's ccnditlona. as it has a larger seating capacity In pro-
portion to cost. This plan provides not only a Grand Stand, but a
large amount of space for thp exhibition of automobiles, carriages, or
machinery, thus serving a double purpose.

The loK-a Board sp;nt muth time and money visiting the Stands at
Belmont Park, New York, and Toronto. We. therefore, feel that we
are fortunate In seeing this building as well as the Minnesota Stand,
which, however. Is too expensive for us to recommend (or Wisconsin.

The report of the Committee was accepted, and the Committee con-
tinued.

On motion of Mr, Roessler, the Board voted to build, the coming
season, a Machinery Shed and Speed Barns; also Instructed Committee
on Grand Stand to secure plans for the structure, and present the neces-
sity of additional appropriation for building same to the next Legisla-

Annual Report op the

REPORTS OF SUPERINTENDENTS.

HORSE DEPARTMENT.

To ihe yfiscotmn State Board of Agricidture,

Gentlemen: As superintendent of the Horse Department,
Pair of 1909, I beg leave to submit the following report.

A conflict or obscurity in the roles, aa to the eligibility of
animals to enter certain classes, or contend for certain prizes
should be corrected.

I have been informed that at a meeting of State Pair Mana-
gers for our Circuit, an agryemefit had been reached whereby the
rules of entry and conditions upon which animals in the various
classes can compete for prizes, general and special, have been
revised and clarified so as to admit of no misunderstanding.
This is important, and the Board should be certain that these
matters are made clear, and carried into the premium list.

There were many wonderfully strong rings of stallions and
mares and much admiration expressed by the large audience,
present at all times, and conjectures as to the possible winners.

In conjimction with an exhibit from the Cattle Department,
evening programs were given, and we cau boast of the best
Night Show on the Grounds, and I believe it would he wise to
make a feature of this Show at least two nights of the week.

The work of the judges seemed to give general satisfactjou,
and we note that many first prize winners at "Wisconsin retained
the same distinction at the International.

We feel, that, all in all, there was but little to be regretted and
much to be appreciated in the exhibit.

I also wish to acknowledge the able aid of those who assisted
in the Department.

Respectfully submitted,

John S. Donald,

Superintwdent. ■

Wisconsin State Board op Agriculture.

CATTLE DEPARTMENT.

To the Wisconsin State Board of Agriculture,

Gentlemen : It is a pleasure to report that the show of cattle
at the 1909 Wisconsin State Fair was the largest we ever had,
and of excellent quality throughout. When the new Cattle
Barn was built three years ago, we thought it large enough for
years to come, but in spite of all the crowding we could do,
one herd had to be placed in the New Model Farm Barn, and
nurse cows were placed under tents. We hope that with the con-
struction of new Speed Bams we can again have the use of the
old Cattle Bams for nurse cows and overflow exhibits.

I would suggest the selection of two judges for Dairy Cattle
as classes are now so lai^e that it is difScult for one man to do
all the work.

While out of the province of this Department, I wish to speak
a word of commeudation for the New Model Farm Baru. It at-
tracted many peop'.e, aJl of whom expressed themselves as think-
ing that the building of this Model Bam one of the wisest
things ever undertaken on the Fair Grounds.

Respectfully submitted,

Charles L. Hill,

Superintendent.

SHEEP DEPARTMENT.

To the Wiscciisin State Board of Agriculture,

Gentlemen ; The exhibit of Sheep at the State Fair of 1909,
was, to my knowledge the largest ever shown at a Wisconsin
State Fair, and with the exception of a few head, the quality
has never been equalled.

Competition was very keen in all elarses, and great interest
was manifested in the quality of the exhibits, by the visitors.
The work done by the judges, Mr. Chas. Kerr, St. Paul, Minn., on
Pine Wool Breeds, and JMr. II. L. Corapton, Kyle, Ohio, on
Mutton Breeds, was very satisfactory to all exhibitors.

By way of su^estiou, I would call attention to the necessity
of repairing the roofs upon some of the Sheep bams before the

Dyil ..do., Google

304 Annual Rgpobt op the

time of the next Pair, as they leaked badly during the rain,
much to the diseonifort of both exhibits and exhibitor.
Respectfully submitted,

E. E. BOBEBTS,

Superintendent.

SWINE DEPARTMENT.

To tke Wisconsin State Board of Agricvlture,

Gentlemen : The exhibit of swine at the 1909 Fair was, as
has been the case for some years, much too large for quarters
available, and in quality fully up to usual high class, and in
Poland Chinas etpecially much the best show in point of qual-
ity that I have ever seen at a Wisconsin Fair.

The Duroc, Berkshire, and Chester "White breeds were well
represented, both in numbers and quality shown. The Tam-
worths and large Yorkshires were each represented by one herd
of excellent quality. The class for all other breeds was filled
by Small Yorkshires, Victorias and Hampshires.

Mr. James W. Kemp of Kenny, Illinois, judged all classes ex-
cept one, he having bred one of the entries, and Prof. J. G. Ful-
ler consented to pass upon this class. "With this exception Mr.
Kemp judged all clastes. I cannot too highly commend his
work, as solne of the classes were very closely ma>tched in quality
and were also very large (18 sows in one class). Mr, G. C.
Parish acted as Assistant Superintendent and assisted materially
in the success of this Department.

I would strongly reeoramend that a small ofBce building be
built for the use of the Superintendent of this department.
Respectfully submitted,

James Dillon,
Superintendent.

POULTRY DEPARTMENT.

To the Wisconsin State Board of Agriculture,

Gentlemen: The Poultry Department of 1909 was pkced at
a great disadvantage on account of the almost destruction of the
building during the severe wind storm that occurred shortly be-
fore the opening date, and while the display of birds was larger
and of better quality than ever before shown at a Wisconsin State
Fair, the hastily coastrueted building was entirely inadequate
for the proper accommodation of the magnificent exhibit, for
many valuable specimens could not be shown off on account of
the crowded condition.

The space that had previously been reserved for the use of
newspaper solicitors was occupied by coops and cages. A num-
ber of tables were placed in the aisles to provide additional
room for the overflow.

In the Pigeon Division every cage and comer was filled. No
choicer collection of birds has ever been seen in the State. The
entries _were promptly closed at the set time, and many belated
applications for space were refused.

The magnitude of the exhibit required the work of three
judges, and the popular veteran, Mr. William Plaehn, Chicago,
passed upon the Pigeons. Mr. D. T. Heimlich of Jacksonville,
111., skillfully judged the Poultry, white Mr. T. J. Rountrce of
Nora, 111., won the confidence of exhibitors by the careful way
in which he distributed the ribbons to the Water Fowl and Pet
Stflck.

There is little need to surest a new Poultry House, for
that is a positive necessity, but I would respectfully ask that
when the time comes for consideration of such a building, that
one of sufficient size should be carefully planned to best meet the
fast growing requirements of this Department.

Respectfully submitted,

Mrs. Adda F. Howie,

Superintendent.

Annual fifiPORT op the

DEPARTMENT OP AGRICULTURE AND HORTICULTURE.

To the Wisconsin State Board of Agriculture,

QENTI.SMEN : I take pleasure in presenting to you the report
of the Departments of Agriculture and Horticulture for the
Pair of 1909. Eshibits were large and exceptionally strong in
quality. Exhibitors in all classes are increasing each year and
it is only a question of a short time when more space will be re-
quired in order to show up the exhibits t» the best advantage.
This is especially true in the exhibits of fruit and flowers. These
classes are filled to overflowing each year and the crowded con-
dition of these exhibits does not show them up. Exhibitors are
doing more each year to make their exhibits attractive but are
handicapped under these couditions.

Exhibitors were well satisfied with the judges in the various
classes and I desire to express my thanks to all exhibitors and
judges for the uniform kindness and consideration shown.
Respectfully submitted,

J. L. Herbst,
Superintendent.

DEPARTMENT OF COUNTY EXHIBITS AND BEES AND
HONEY.

To the Wisconsin State Board of Agriculture,

Gentlemen : The department of county exhibits at the 1909
State Fair was fully up to past records made in this department.
Some thirteen counties made exhibits and they were all credit-
able and worthy of the agriculture of the state. The judging
as done by Mr. Olds was generally satisfactory and exhibitors
seemed pleased. Your superintendent heard no dissatisfaction
expressed by any one.

The change from a departmenrt of Farm Exhibits, back to the
county system was favorably commented upon and is much
the more satisfactory of the two.

There were five large exhibits of bees and honey. This in-
dustry is growing in our state and the encouragement the board

Dyil ..do., Google

has given it in the past is appreciated and should be continued.
Your superintendent is indebted to members of the boami, to
exhibitors and to hia assistmit, Mr. W. J, Moyle, for efficient
and courteous help and treatment.

Respectfully submitted,

C. H, Everett,

Superintendent:

DAIRY DEPARTMENT.

To the Wisconsin State Board of Agriculture,

Gentlemen : We were somewhat handicapped in the install-
ation of dairy products and dairy utensils owing to unavoidable
delay in the completion of the New Dairy Building and Re-
frigerators.

Most of the exhibitors of dairy machinery and utensils put
up temporary booths owing to lack of time to do better, but
many expressed their determination of putting in permanent
booths for future use, in keeping with our fine exhibit building.

The exhibits of dairy products were complete in variety,
that of forei^ brands of cheese being larger than ever before.
The exhibit of Swiss Cheese is deserving of special mention,
both as to number of entries and quality of product, it being the
opinion of the judges who scored them, that some of the cheese
was fully equal, if not superior, to the best imported article.

All the exhibitors seemed well pleased with our new building.

The refrigerators in their working fully verified all claims
made by the manufacturers. Not only was the temperature
held sufficiently low with one filling of ice, but the circulation
of air was so perfect that there were no conflicting odors from
the different kinds of dairy products to interfere with the scor-
ing by the judges, _

Jmfeing by the favorable comment universally expressed by
visitors, one would include, that to the public at least, the ex-
hibit in the Dairy Department was satisfactory.

Respectfully submitted,

L. E. Scott,
Superintendent.

Annual Kepobt of the

WOMAN'S WORK DEPARTMENT.

To the Wisconsin State Board of Agricvitiire,

Oenti^men : I am pleased to report that the exhibit, this
year, in the Department of Woman's Work showed a marked
improvement over that of 1908, and that in point of number we
had more than ever before.

In quality, a distinct advance appeared all along the line,
of good premiums as a reward for her worii, has been so greatly
appreciated by the women of Wisconsin, and the thwiks of all
concerned is certainly due to those who mude this possible.

We had, I think, the exhibits displayed to the best advantage
under the circumstances, but were somewhat handicapped for
space in which to spread them out. To do the department jus-
tice, we should have a new and lai^er building, one better
adapted to the pui^ose.. Give us this, and we will give you in.
letum, one of the most attractive exhibits on the Grounds.
Respectfully submitted,
Mrs. Lida Thurston Gannon,

Stiperintendent.

EDUCATIONAL DEPARTMENT OF THE STATE FAIR.

State Board of Agriculture, Madison, Wis.,

Gentlemen: It is with considerable pride and saUsfaction
that I make a very favorable report on the growtii and improve-
ment of the displays made in the Educational Department for,
1909. The number of entries were almost double that of the
previous year, and the kind and quality greatly improved upon.
County Superintendents throughout the state are arousing an
interest on Uie part of the pupils and teachers in a class of
work very interesting and highly practical, such as can be dis-
played in the Educational Building at the State Pair. Although
Milwaukee did not live up to former years in the matter of fur-
nishing a special educational display, other cities in the state
came forward and more than made up for the loss sustained oa
account of tJie fact. City superintendents and principals are

Dyil ..do., Google

Wisconsin State Board op Aq&icultube. 309

arousing their teaehere and pnpils to the educational opportunity
afforded by the State Fair.

The Educational Building is already far too small to properly
display all the exhibits. The permitting of the use of the old
Dairy Building for the "over-flow" helped out nicely for the
Fair of 1909. It would be a special advantage to have another
building adjacent to the present Educational Building where
displays from the University, Normal Schools, Charitable Insti-
tutions and Private Schools might be made. For the money
appropriated by the Legislature for an Educational Building
I would recommend that a duplicate of the present building be
erected between the Educational Building and the Publicity
Building. In this way we would have the Educational Dis-
play of the State nicely grouped. Visitors at a Pair aways like
. to find those things in which they are specially interested, well
classed and grouped.

The new Model School erected for the Fair of 1909 proved to
be one of the most popular and interesting places on the grounds.
It should be equipped for the Fair of 1910 with ail the neces-
sary and mcdem furniture and apparatus. This can be done
without permitting » special advertisement of many pieces of
apparatus.

A complete revision of the premium list for 1910 is recom-
mended, whereby special prizes may be offered for best displays
from Normal Schools, Training Schools, etc., and more articles
of different kinds allowed to be entered for premiums.
Res.pectfully submitted,

John A, Hazblwood,

Superintendent.

DEPARTMENT OF WOMAN'S BEST AND HOSPITAL
WORK.

To the Wisconsin State Beard of Agriculture,

Gentlemen : Quoting from one of the Milwaukee papers,
"Rest Cottage is one of the most interesting places at the Fair,"
and we would add, one of the busiest places. The Rest Rooms
were crowded this year, and oftentimes the workers were puzzled
to provide chairs for the weary.

Dyil ..do., Google

310 Annual Bspobt of thb

The Woman's Ward on the second floor was frequently used
as a Rest Rown, for which we chained the modest sum of ten
cents an hour, for the privilege of reclining one hour on a com-
fortable couch.

The baby check room, or "Haven of Rest," as mothese choose
to call it, was filled to overflowing on Milwaukee and Wisconsin
days. Total number of babies checked, thirty-five; fourteen,
the largest number at any one time.

The Hospital Department was most capably presided over by
Miss Wylie. Dr. Wright was "instant" in season and out
of season. One hundred and forty-three cases were treated, but
only seven were serious, one patient remaining forty-eight
hours. The saddest experience was the passing away of Cap-
tain C. E. Swain.

The che<* room was well patronized, also the lavatoiy. We
are striving to make our work self-supporting, and yet be just
in charges. Few persons find cause for complaint.

The inclement weather of Monday and Tuesday lessened our
cash receipts, and we failed in collecting three of our largest
Hospital bills. The following b a financial statement:

Hospital

Nursery

Lavatory .',

Telephone

Check Room . .

giving us a total of one hundred and seventeen dollars and
eighty cents.

Our expenses have increased j we employ more help and give
better pay, but we believe ' ' He profits most who serves best. ' '

Through some misunderstanding we were without telephone
service for two days, and enjoyed the inconvenience of finding
a telephone wherever and whenever not in use, but a telephone
was installed Wednesday morning.

Friends provided the ncessary furnishings ; Holton & Hunkel
the floral decorations. Two colored maids kept the cottage clean
and assisted in various other ways. Miss Birdette Hake ably
served as Assistant Matn>n. Other helpers were Mesdames
Brauer, Boucher, Kinner end Post, and the Misses Nelson and
Touhey.

To the Wisconsin State Board of Agriculture,

Gentlemen : The 1909 machinery exhibit was exceptionally
good.

Despite the fact that the lai^e thre.^her firms decided not
to show, there was a greater number of exhibits than ever be-
fore.

Dyil ..do., Google

312 Annual Import op the

The individual exhibits were larger, as to size; better as to
quality, and each employed more men. Yet had more space been
available for ea«h ri them, it would have been filled.

Gas engines and automobiles showed a marked increoee.

At the close of the Fair practically everything in this depart-
ment was sold, and many orders taken, which shows what a hust-
ring place it was, profitable alike to exhibitors and patrons of the
Fair.

By way of recommendations, I would surest, first, that the
wha^e machinery grounds be surveyed and platted. This is im-
perative, as the old plat is useless, the grounds having been
added to in one place and taken from in others.

Second, that the grounds be leveled.

Third, that a drinking fountain be centrally located, insur-
ing the public pure water.

Fourth, that the two South toilets be removed. Reason ob-

Fifth, that the streets be oiled, or otherwise treated to lay
the dust.

Sixth, that this department be lighted and kept running
evenings until 9 o'clock.

I beg to suggest to the Board that erecting the new Machinery
Hall at the extreme South end of the machinery grounds would
tend to induce exhibitors to occupy the Southern part of the
grrounds, which heretofore they have been loath to do. It would
attract visitors there, and thus spread the crowds.

Enclased herewith find complete list of exhibitors and their
addresfes. All of which is respectfully submitted.

MARSHAL'S DEPARTMENT.

To the Wisconsin State Board of Agriculture,

Gentlemen: I beg to submit the following report of this
Department for the year 1909.

The total expense of the department was $1,550.50, paid to
66 men. I enclose statement of all moneys paid out together
with vouchers for same. I was very careful in selecting my
help and will say that this Department had very little trouble
as compared with other years under my supervision. This was
due largely to the experience that my assistants had had dur-
ing previous years. Also to the valuable assistance received
from the Chief of Police and sheriff of Milwaukee, both of
whom did everything that they could to assist in preserving
order and preventing accidents. The a> called "Blind Pig"
did not make its appearance during the Pair, and there were
very few inquiries for it. It is impossible to prevent people
from carrying intoxicating liquors onto the grounds, but there
was less of it during our last Fair than during previous years.
In my opinion, if our Beard would cut out the cheap and ob-
noxious Carnival, and properly restrict the concessionaires, it
will greatly reduce the work in this department, and be appre-
ciated by the patrons of our Pair. It is my opinion that it is not
wise to be extravagant in any department nor do I think it w^se
to try to do a certain required amount of work with an insuf-
iicient number and inexperienced help. This Department at a
prominent State Pair cost last year over $4,000.00. Out of this
amount $200.00 was expended for an attorney and court ex-
I>enses. On account of the many questions coming up each
year that should be submitted to an attorney, and if we can try
the cases that go to Milwaukee, for the small amount that it cost
Minnesota and retain the fines as they do, I would recommend
that our Board adopt this system.

This department has been assigned to me the last three or
four years and I have striven each' year to improve. As to
whether I have or not I am willing to allow our Board and the
patrons of the Pair to judge.

Respectfully submitted,

G. U. Fisher,
_ Mwshal.

PROCEEDINGS

OF THE

Wisconsin State Board of Agriculture

IN ANNUAL CONVENTION.

Auditorium, Agricultural Hall,
Madison, Wis., February 2 and 3, 1910.

President McKerrow in the chair.

Prest. McKerrow : The convention will please come to order.

It has been the custom in the state of Wisconsin for something
like fifty years or more to hold an annual farmers' convention
the first week of February, imder the auspices, first, of the
old State Agricultural Society, and, for the past twelve years,
under the auspices of the Wisconsin State Board of Agricul-
ture.

This convention serves a double purpose, that of the discus-
sion of some of the most important questions relating to the
farmer's home and the farmer's business, and, secondly, the
furnishing of material for the annual report which goes to the
Farmers' Libraries of the state.

I notice that our Secretary has taken liberties wiUi me, — well,
he has been doing that for the last twenty years or more— and
he places me upon the program for an address this morning.

Now, I am not going to try your patience with an address,
but as I told the reporter, when I get on my feet, if the spirit
moved me, 'I may talk a minute or two, and I am going to talk
just a little.

Barring the boycotts that are being org^iized in our cities,
the fanners have but little to complain of at this time. Prices

Dyil ..do., Google

326 Annual Report op the

f(jf their products are fairly remunerative, but some of our
city friends have seen fit to enter into a boycott, possibly not
ao much directed against the fanner as the middleman. We
hear a great deal 'about high prices and the high cost cf living
and we hear it nearly every time we meet a resident -of t«wn or
city.

There are good reasons for this. As a farmer, and one who
has given this subject some thought, 1 am here to say that I
believe the era of low prices in this country has pas.;e<l and
from this time on farmers will get lemunerative prices as a
whdle, and people in the towns and cities of this country will
have to pay fairly good prices for what they eat.

High as our prices are for most cf the provisions used upon
the family table, they are not yet as high as they are in the old
countries. But" we are getting to be an old country, not so
much in years but old in enterprise and population.

The fact is that our live stock populati;>n has not been keep-
ing pace with the development of the human family in this
country ; it has been falling behind, and it is likely to fall still
further behind because conditions are changing:. The Western
ranch and range, which formerly furnished the free pasture
field, is being taken up; large districts are being reserved for
irrigation purposes, and the GSovemment is spending millions
of dollars on these lands, and settlers are going in by the thous-
ands and taking their families and settling upon these tracts
which were formerly free pasture fields. Une'.e Sam is giv'ng
320 acres in the dry farming districts to the homesteader, and
this means the best part of the dry fanning districts is being
taken up by settlers. Through the breaking up of these great
pastures the herds and flocks of the West are being reduced,
and we are very near the day when the meat supply of this
country must come from the fiiitns rather than from the ranches
!uid the ranges.

This has meant a reduction in our cattle and shc'.'p products
and still greater reduction in their prop .rtioii to the popidaticn,
because the population is stea<lily growing.

Now, the citizen in town and country should remember this — ■
and the farmer as well — that all must depend for* their suste-
nance on the farmer. It lias thrust a duty on the farmers of the
United States not to cut down production, not to grow less
bushels to the acre and Ies.s pounds of pork and beef and mutton

Dy,lz.Jo., Google

to the acre, and less milk and its products to the cow, but rather
to produce all he eao. It is his duty, because he baa to feed
ajl the people, first of this country, and then, as far as he can,
help to feed the people of other countries.

On the other hand, boycotts from those who depend upon the
farmer, are not the proper thing. It is all right to invesUgate
the truats and the middlemen and the farmer, if necessary, but
the boycott will like'y in turn bring a boycott from the other
side, and the farmer's boycott may be the worse of the two.

I simply throw out these suggestions for U3 to think about and
for the other fellows to think about, if they ever hear of it.

One of the main duties of the Wisconsin State Board of Agri-
culture is that of managing the annual Fair.

As I stated in the beginning, the old State Agricultural So-
ciety for upwards of fifty years was the moving force in this
line, and the State Fair was its principal business. But, un-
fortunate conditions seemed to follow this old Society, until
finally the State Legislature appropriated $B,000 for its funeral
and it received a decent burial.

The same Legislature saw fit to establish a State Board of
Agriculture to be appointed by the Governor of the state, and
I am here to say that while this kind of a board may be a dan-
gerous board, politics may be mixed in with it very much yet,
the three Governors of Wisconsin who have .had the appointing
of this Board since the time that it was organized by legislative
enactment, to my mind, have kept very much^cut of politics.
Each one of these Governors has said to me that they wished
to keep polities out of the Board; they wished to appoint the
best men to look after the agricultural interests cf the state,
and especially to look after the agricultural interests as repre-
sented in agricultural Pairs.

Now, I am not here to praise this Board, becau.';e I am a
member of it, and have been since its beginning, but I am here
to say that I believe nearly every member of this Board has
taken up his duties with a full and definite understanding of
what those duties were, and has to the best of his ability, worked
for the general advancement for the agricultural interests of
this state and for the building up of an educational, agricultural
Fair.

When this Board took charge of the Wisconsin State Pair
and had turned over to it the grounds upon which this Fair is

Dyil ..do., Google

328 Annual ItepoRT op the

held, which had come into the hands of the state about the same
time by foreclosure proceedings, they found the Fair in a very
bad condition.

The Legislature, to safeguard the state treasury, in the bill
which provided for the organization of the State Board of Agri-
culture, took the precaution to state that the state of Wiscon-
sin would not be holden for any debts contracted by this Board.

Therefore, when the Board closed up its books at the end of
the first State Fair, which had an income of $15,496.41, they
faced the dilemma of a deficit of $1,600 to meet the premiums
and other expenses of the Fair, and like men, they put up their
individual notes to borrow that money, which was later paid
out of £ome income uncollected at the time of the settlements.

But from that time on, this Board has not had to borrow
money. Some four years later the matter of cramped finances
was presented to the Business Jlens' Association c-f the city of
Milwaukee, and they very generously raised and turned over to
the Board nearly $15,000, and I am pleased to say that in figur-
ing up the finances of the Board on the 31st day of January,
just past, we find that that balance given to us by the city of
Milwaukee is still on hand with a little addition, our balance
being something over $18,000 at this time.

In the meantime, we have not only developed and presented
fo the people of Wisconsin what the agricultural papers term
one of the best education^ agricultural Fairs in the country,
but we have been enabled to put into improvements upon the
grounds from funds made by the State Pair, an amount of nearly
$50,000.

To show you that the Fairs have steadily grrfwn in public
favor — because if it had not grown in public favor, the finan-
cial income would not have grown, — I mil read you what each .
Fair has done in the way of bringing money into the State Fair
treasury.

As I have already stated, in 1898, the first Fair held by this
beard, the income was $15,496.41.

In 1898, $15,496.41

1907, $85,417.22

1908, $83,854.66

1909, $84,043.81

So you see that this has been almost a continuous steady
growth, a development from an income of $15, 496.41, which
has risen to an income of $84,043.81.

T think that this fact alone should show to the people of Wis-
consin that the Wisconsin State Pair is appreciated by its people.

It is true that the Wisconsin State Pair labors under many
disadvantages that other State Pairs do not. In the first place,
its location in the state ; being located in the extreme southeastern
portion of the state with Lake Michigan on the east, with the
Illinois state line forty miles to the south, and the state of
Illinois maintains one of the best State Pairs in the Union;
therefore we cannot expect to draw very heavily from even the
northern counties of Illinois.

On the northwest of us, very close to the Wisconsin line we
have the cities of St. Paul and Minneapolis, between those is
another of the great Fairs held upon the American continent,
the Minnesota State Pair. That naturally draws about one-
third of the area of Northwestern Wisconsin and West Wiscon-
sin to it.

We probably are fortunate, or unfortunate, in this state, as
the case may be, in having another State Fair known as the
Northwestern Wisconsin State Fair at Chippewa Falls, in the
west central part of our stat«, which is a very good Fair and
draws quite largely from that district of the state, and still an-
other called the Interstate Fair in the western part of our state
at La Crosse, which draws very lai^ly from the western part
of Wisconsin, and also from the states cf Jlinnesota and Iowa.

These all mean a lessened attendance of farmers from the"e
districts at the Wisconsin State Fair, and while the Wisconsin
Fair is located close to our largest city, a city of some 300,000
people, a city which was very liberal in donating nearly $15,000
for the upbuilding of th's Fair, yet with all due deference to
that city and many people in the city who are very much in-
terested in the State Fair, I must say that I believe the att«n-

Dyil ..do., Google

330 Annual ItepOBT op the

dance from the city of Milwaukee is less in proportion to her
population than is the att-endanee from any city on the Ameri-
can continent that has a lat^ Fair located near ita borders.

Some people in Milwaukee say this is the fault of the "Wiscon-
sin State Board of Agriculture. If it is, I hope that fault may
be overcome. If, on the other hand, it is the fault if the city
of Milwaukee in not appreciating the value of the Pair, or the
interests that the Fair stands for, then I hope that spirit may
be overcome and the people of Milwaukee may appreciate the
future Wisconsin State Fairs at their value to the greatest in-
dustry in the State.

In closing these. few rambling remarks, I wish to say tiiat we
hope to make the next Wisconsin State Fair the greatest of all
in its educational and agricultural exhibits, that has ever been
held in the state of Wisconsin. This hoard and every member
of it is very anxious that the State Fair should prove what the
State wishes it tn be in the appropriation of funds, to help out
not only the State Fair, but other Fairs, a Fair that will givt
to the people of the state value received in the matter of edu-
cation and agricultural development, and we trust, as I have
already stated, that we shall be able to make the State Fair
of 1910 one worthy of the state, and worthy of the prc^ressive
farmers of Wisconsin. I thank you.

Next upon our program eome.s an address under the head
"What makes a successful State Fair," which was to be presented
to you by Mr. J. K. Dickirsnu of Springfield, III., secretary of
the Illinois State Board of Agriculture. Unfortunately, Mr.
Dickirson, who had expected to be here, is not able to be present
at this time, but has sent on his paper, and if you will bear with
me, I will endeavor to read it to you, for I have no doubt that
it carries with it many valuable thoughts, and as this paper is
being read, I trust you will all be working with your minds to
draw out valuable conclusionH from the paper at the close in
the way of discussion.

"WHAT MAKES A SUCCESSFUL STATE PAIR.

This is the subject assigned me to discuss before this Annual
Convention of the "Wisconsin State Board of Agriculture.

There are many things that might enter into this diseussion,
which would lead a speaker on and on until he would have ex-
hausted his audience with the many details that Would be
brought to mind, but our consideration must be limited to only
the principal factors involved.

I desire to say first, that the success of a State Fair is largely
dependent upon the State Board that directs the Fair. In th'e
first place the State Board of Agriculture should be composed
of gentlemen whose hearts are in the work of agriculture, and
there should be great care taken in the selection, of their Presi-
dent. While he is the presiding officer, he is also the moving
spirit of the entire Board.- The duties which rest upon the
President are such that a great deal depends upon his wisdom
in the selection of the superintendents of the various depart-
ments. It requires judicious forethought and moral courage on
his part to appoint to these positions men who are manifestly
qualified for the specific duties assigned them, and not be gov-
erned and lead into error by personal favoritism. Again, it is
important that the Board select a Secretary who is qualified for
the position ; having both the social and business qualities to
commend him to the confidence of the people with whom be may
be associated. He should be a man above reproach, a man of
enei^ and industry. With the right men for President, Secre-
tary and Superintendents of Departments, the work of making
a successful State Fair is well under way.

The next important thing in making a successful State Pair
is the location of the grounds on which to hold this great educa-
tional agricultural school. The grounds should be of easy access
from the city where the Pair is located and there should be a
system of rapid transit between the city and the grounds. And
the grounds should lie in .such a manner as to afford the best of
drainage and sewerage, and be suitiable for the erection of tHe
necessary buildings.

The first building should be the administration building, which

Dyil ..do., Google

332 Annual Rjipobt of the

should be lai^e and eommodioiis and should contain ofBees for
the Officers and Superintendente of every Department of the
Fair, and there ^ould be a large, well-lighted and well-ventilated
auditorium in said building, that the various agrieultural oi^ao-
izations of the State may here hold their public meetings, where
agriculture, animal industry and kindred subjects may be dis-
cussed and enjoyed, thereby heaping compliments upon the heads
of this administrative State Board, as well as benefiting the said
oi^anizations.

There should also be a large and commodious exposition build-
ing erected for the benefit of all wh> desire to avail therasRlves
of the opportunity of exhibiting their goods and wares of every
kind and character.

Next an agricultural hall, for the purpose of exhibiting the
products of the farm. This is one of the most important build-
ings on the fair grounds, for herein will be displayed the various
things grown upon the farm which are neces.>ary to the life of
mankind and by which he is blessed ; for it is written that man
shall obtain his bread by the sweat of his face.

Aud here I desire to state that the time is now upon us when
this blessing of production and a return to farm life is being
sought for and it will continue to be until production shall equal
the demand of the consumers. The production of the farm to-
day is not equal to the demand. It is amusing to see our law-
makers at Washington and our President as well, asking for a
committee to investigate the high cost of living, while it is regu-
lated by supply and demand. A few years agD when the best
mind and brain of the farm was directed to the cities, because
of a better remuneration for services, and farm products were
far below par, it was then that wheat sold for from 40 to 60 cents
per bushel and corn from 12i^ to 20 cents p?r bushel. Such a
condition was calculated to drive the best blood of the country
from the farm t« seek relief from such financial oppression. In
the days gone by, above referred to, when three-fourths of the
farms of the country were mortjraged, did Congress or the Presi-
dent ask for a committee to investigate the conditions? No,
those conditions did not cause there gentlemen any uneasiness
whatever. The farmers were the producers and the law-makers
were consumers. The transfer of the packsaddle is being real-
ized— hence this investigation. The trouble, if trouble it should
he called, does not all rest with, nor is it all ehar^able to the

Dyil ..do., Google

Wisconsin State Board op Agriculture. 333

monopolies, for tiie farmer is receiving $8,00 to $9.00 per hun-
dred for hogs gross, on the market, and beef cattle selling at
about the same ratio. These prices enable the homy-handed
fanner to be well satisfied with, rather than ashamed of his
occupation, and as he directs h's beautiful automobile down the
avenues he claims "I am a fanner. I am from the country. I
will help you to make the State Fair a success." And be will
do so.

In addition to this great agricultural building, the construc-
tion of a machinery hall is required, where all the agricultural
implements and machinery that go to make up the success of
the State Pair are exhibited ; where labor-saving devices and
machinery of every kind and equality are installed. And I want
here to drop a friendly hint. I do not believe that you can
build machinery hall large enough to hold the exhibits that come
if the effort necessary to make a successful State Fair is made,
for these displays are legion. And you will find in this exhibit
the up-to-date farmer, hunting out, looking for, that class of
machinery that will subserve his purpose, and he will be re-
warded for his investigation.

It will be impossible in discussing a subject of this kind, to
go into detail at any great length as to the various exhibits,
hence I will mention only buildings that are absolutely essential
in making a successful State Fair.

The poultry building is a very important adjunct. The ex-
hibits in this building will attraet great attention, for the birds
are blue ribbon specimens of their various kinds and poultry
raising is one of the profitable industries of the farm.

Then come buildings for the live stock. Those for horses and
cattle require great care and attention in construction, which it
is impossible to describe at this time. For housing the sheep
and swine, I think these two classes of stock could be exhibited
together to great advantage and a pavilion for their use should
be constructed 'n such a way that the sheep could go above and
the swine below, thereby utilizing space and bringing these two
classes of exhibits together. You will find that they can be
shown from the same building in a manner that will attract great
interest and visitors will be delighted with the exhibits.

The next I will mention is the coliseum building, and that
cannot be made too lai^. In this building all the stock is ex-
hibited except the sheep and swine, and it is wonderful what .

334 Annual Report of the

immense throngs will crowd into this building to see the large,
beautiful heavy horses, carriage horses, light driving horses and
the artistic high school horses, as they are shown in the arena
■ and visitors are charmed with their appearance. Then the
handsoir.e beef cattle ct the diffcieiit breeds are an interesting
exhibit to those who seldom see them; and the dairy breeds, in-
cluding the beautiful little Jerseys with their affeetioaate faces,
help to put up a grand and interesting show.

It is necessary that we have recreation and amusement on the
fair grounds, and he who is fond of speed must be provided with
the grand stand or amphitheatre in which he can be comfortably
accommodated to see the racing hOrses as they go by — ^the trot-
ters, pacers and running horses all have their charms for the
people. The speed track should, if possible, be a mile track.
However this is a subject that receives great attention and dis-
cussion. One say.s he would rather see a good mile race, an-
other that he prefers a half mile track, as he can see the dashers
pass the polls twice, which gives double action to his vocal
organs in the merry glee. As a matter of fact, either track will
have ite fanciers, who come to make a success of the Pair.

Another structure that is essential to bring about success is
the dairy building. Here are shown the products from the dairy
cows, from which the quality of their production may be tested.
Also in this building should be given daily lectures upon the
processes of making and caring for butter and cheese. These
lectures should be from the best educated minds of this country.
This of itself is nearly a whole Fair and will draw people like
sugar draws fiies. Some will say that what they saw and heard
in this building was worth the whole Fair and they felt well
paid for their attendance.

The next building worthy of attention is tlie strTicture for the
accomodation of women, mually known as tlie house of public
(comfort, where the tired old lady oi' the melancholy maiden may
find sweet repose from her -weariness and woes. Now in this
woman's building I would suggest the establishment of a do-
mestic science school, governed and conducted by a board of lady
managers composed of from three to five members, of the most
influential ladies of the state and accomplished in the art of
mana^ng such a sehoiil ; and their duties should be to train
young ladies in the science of healthful and scientific cooking and

Dy,I..Jo., Google

Wisconsin State Board op Agriculture. 335

sanitary house-keeping. You will find this a benefit as well as
a great drawing card for the Pair.

Again, I would surest that in the a^icultural building there
should be a room reserved and dedicated to the use of a school
in which the \xtys of the State may be taught from example, the
soieneeof agriculture iu promoting a better quality of grain —
corn, wheat and oats, aJso vegetables and other products of the
farm. They obtain a knowledge of the theory in the agricultural
school of the State and then come here to see the practical dem-
onstration of the theoiies laid down before them. Then the
teachers should take the boys through the barns and stables of
the various classes of live stock where they can be shown the
progress of animal husbandry. And all this should be dr.ne
under the influence of a teacher capable of imparting the in-
formation sought. With confidence in his teacher and the in-
structions he has received, the young man will come out from
this agricultural schcol as proud as the boy of olden times was
when he had donned his first pair of red-topped booU, and he
will be benefited a great deal more so.

In the classification or malsing of the premium list, great care
should be exercised. It is important to give as liberal premiums
as you can afford, and that there- be no favored classes. Let
said list be graded according to the importance of the exhibits
which are to be rewarded.

And I would recommend, and think it usually advisable, that
the one judge system be adopted, ax it gives more satisfaction
than where there are more judges. Judges should be selected
by the superintendents for service in their various departments,
and great caxe should be exercised to secure thoie best qualified
for the department which he or she is to judge. Judges should
,be above reproach, sliould be earnest, honorable and honest, and
having that reputation to sustain them in their work. Where
the superintendent has any reason to doubt the ability or integ-
rity of a judge he should decline to use such assistance.

The general superintendent should see that the grounds are
policed, for the purpose of maintaining order, and great care-
fulness is necessary on his part in the selection of men to per-
form this duty who are capable and reliable, and uniformed
police are preferable. Another important item with the general
superintendent is to see that the grounds are kept clean and in

Dyil ..do., Google

336 Annual Repobt op the

a healthful condition, which requires industry and labor at an
hour perhaps when it is so sweet to sleep.

The office of superintendent cf permits and privileges is an-
other that requires the services of an individual who is upright,
conscientious and a good business man, and his duty that he
owes to the people of his State, in the promotion of a successful
Fair is to permit nothing of a doubtful character upon the
grounds. He should exclude everything evil or having the ap-
pearance of evil — knife-racks, cane-racks, doll-racks, and such
devices as are calculated to lead the minds of the boys into the
ways of everla&ting ruin. He cannot use too much precaution
in this department, and the State Fair grounds should be kept
as free from obscene shows and evil 'nfluenees as our homes should
be kept.

The superintendent of gates should secure coin operating
turnstiles, for this is a device and machine that is pretty hard
to cheat. It does not bring more people to the Fair than the
ticket system, but it will fitid more people who come to the Paip*
than the other system will. It is important that finances, and
especially the gate receipts, be properly guarded, for the pleas-
ing success of the Fair is the finances, and to accomplish this
requires great energy, watchfulness and economy on the part
of every member of the Board of Agrieulture.

Again, there should be a bureau of publicity, which should be
associated with the Secretary or in his office. The manager
should be a gentleman of broad experience in newspaper work
^d the greater part of the object sought should be for gate
receipts and to reach out to the rural citizens of the entire
State. When this is accomplished the gates receipts will explain.

Now the ultimate success of any State Fair is the support it
receives from the people of the State— from the legislature of
the State that will make liberal appropriations, with the Gover-
nor of the State standing with an open hand to welcome this
great agricultural school to closer fellowship with every depart-
ment of the State. "When this is done heartily, then success is

Last but not least, hotel accommodations with reasonable
prices to visitors, and a bureau of information, ■ benefiting all
who seek for guidance or assistance of any kind, add materially
to the success of any Fair.

And scattered over the grounds here and there should be seats

where the weary sight-seer may rest and admire the grounds as
well as the exhibits thereon, and these conveniences will bring
about the crowning sheaf of success of which the State Board
of "Wisconsin or any other State, may well be proud.

Prest. JIcKerrow; I will say for our modest board that we
have most of the things that Mr. Dickirson suggests in his paper,
and I am pleased to say that in many of these things we have
been among the leadens ; for instance, in adopting the kind of
turnstile which counts all the people, and some other things.

Now, this paper is open for discussion. We may differ in
dome points from Mr. Dickirson, or we may enlarge upan some
points, because, as Mr. Dickirson says, he is not able to cover
the whole field. We may adapt some of these ideas and enlarge
upon them as they apply to Wisaonsin. We are ready for sug-
gestion. If you ean't do anything else, you can get up and
find fault with the Wisconsin Board for what they do not do,
because that has become a common thing nowadays.

Mr. Martin : Personally I do not think I have much fault to
find with the Board, but I have heard a lot of complaints about
some things in regard to your Board, and as there are not very
many people here today outside of your Board, it might be
a good time to tell you.

Prest. McKerrow: Yes, go ahead. I will sit down and listen.

Mr. Martin: One of them is something that a great many
people have spoken of, and that is the lack of a proper place to
show agricultural machinery. 1 have had complaints from
machine men that I have seen exhibiting their machines in other
states; they have said they would ntA come and did not come to
the Wisconsin Fair, because there ivas no proper place to show
their machinery. I have heard that complaint also by perhaps a
hundred farmers in Wisconsin, the difficulty of finding the ma-
chinery they want to find, and a jjlace to show it, especially in
bad weather. Now, the live stock department is the first thing
that needs defending, and I believe that that is i*etty near right.

Another thing, I was at Seattle this year and I heard more
comments on this one thing than at any other place I ever went ;
there was a continuous line of seats on that ground and in travel-
ing back and forth through the grounds I never saw any seats
vacaJit. Five or ten or twenty people would get up and move
away and just as many were waiting to take their places and

338 Annual Report op the

everybody had soniethiug to say about the convenience of that.
Another thing, in our lists of regular classes of animals owned
in the state, exhibitors outside the state are not permitted in
those classes. Now, I am opposed to that. Let everybody go
into the open classes. Exhibits in state classes are generally of
no benefit to the Fair or to the exhibitor.

Prest. McKerpjw : We acknowledge that Friend Martin 's
criticisms are all good. Let uie say a wofd in regard to the
machinery busin&ss. lie criticises the Board and the Board in
turn can criticise the State Legislature. For the past ten years
we have been asking for an appropriation to build a machinery
building. "We succeeded at last in getting an appropriation
from the last Legislature, and next summer a start will be made
on the maehinery -building.

This matter of seats is one that our Board has discussed, ar.il
they have got seats and they have put them in the grove and we
have put them up the boulevard, but the great trouble was, our
seats were too small, they were easily carried into the booths so
that they didn't stay on the street when we put them there. I
believe if we should bu^ld eoncret* seats they would stay there, al-
though I don't know, they would be pretty hard. Maybe we
could cushion them. Anyway the ideas of Mr. Martin are good.

Now, this matter of state classes. Like Mr. Martin, I have
always fought for the open classes, but there are certain farmers
in "Wisconsin who are well pleased with the classes as they are ;
indeed, there is a great deal of sentiment in "Wiseunsin in favor
of having those classes and the State Board of Agriculture,
while they are no politicians, sometimes have to use a little
policy and have to meet the wishes of the people, and the wishes
of the people in some respects are for classes, especially in breeds
of stock that are pretty popular through the state.

Mr, Martin : I think some of the exhibitors have more con-
science than others. I have heard the expression that some of
those animals are too darned poor to put a blue ribbon on.

Pres. McKerrow. I believe that many of the animals in most
of those classes are unworthy of prizes in the State Pair, but
those classes are improving in Wisconsin, because they have to
improve, competition has made it necessary, and it may be that
they are helping improve the live stock generally. Still, like
Mr. Martin, I stand for open classes. .

Now, are there any otiier suggestions or criticisms t This class

Dy,l..do., Google

Wisconsin State Board op Aceicultuke. 339

of criticism such as Mr. Martin has voiced is the kind that will
do good; they are the suggestions, in fact, that will not only
help the Board, l>ut will help the Legislature to put the matter
up to the point where we can get a machinery hall.

Mr, Utter: I think the Board should allow no amusements
on the Paird Grounds that we would not allow our daughters to
attend. I think there has been too much of that kind of thing
allowed. They are not educational, nobody could get his money's
worth, to say nothing about the moral part of it. Theru seemed
to be a feeling that we wanted to get a large amount into the
treasury from conce^ions ; now I think that should be the last
thing to be considered, and I think the moral condition of aflfairs
to be the first thing to be thought of, because there are large
numbers of young men and women and children coming to these
Pairs, and with many of them it is the only amusement they
get during the year, and they are probably more sn^ceptible to
the evil effects of thcee amtisements than are the boys and girls
that are brought up in the cities.

Pres. McKerrow: I will say "Wisconsin has tried to keep
the amusements clean, but as long as you allow that class into
your grounds at all, you will find it is a very hard thing 10
keep it clean, and we are told by these concessionaires that they
show in other states and ouglit to be allowed to show with' us
and they don't see how we can refuse the money, That doesn't
justify "Wisconsin, of course, in letting them in by any means,
because other states do. The Illinois State Pair is growing
much better than it used to be, I think most of them are in
this respect, and I feel very sure that "Wisoraisin will be better
in 1910 than it has ever been.

Mr. Nordman: Mr. Chairman, I want to discuss this ques-
tion of passes. Mr, True has stated in my presence that Ihere
are probably fewer passes issued by our Stat* Fair than any
State Fair in the country, but notwithstanding this fact 1 be-
lieve that we could, with great profit to ourselves, and greater
satisfaction to the people at lai^e, still further reduce this
practice of issuing pas.ses to the number that are being given
out. Now, to begin with, every member of the Board has 150
single passes that he can give to his friends. Now, I am going
to tell you frankly that while 1 haven't any use for anywhere
near that number and probably never will have, and I believe
that there are a number of other people in the same position —

Dy,l..do., Google

340 Annual Report of the

but that isn't the point; here is the real trouble — as long as we
have those passes to give out, having them ajid knowing our
friends would like to have them, we can't with good grace deny
the privilege to ether people and I know that I myself would be
in a better position if I could say to the people who come
there "I haven't got any passes and you can pay your way just
the same as 1 have," I believe that the number of passes
throughout the state ought to be cut down.

Mr. Scott: It seems to me that this is a discussion for our
regular board meeting rather than a meeting of this kind, but
Mr. Nordman stated he had 150 pa^it^us, and inasmuch as this
goes to the public, there ought to be some explanation.

Mr. Wylie; I don't have 150. I don't have but fifteen.

Mr. Scott: That 150 is single passes, singte admissioflfe.
The members of this Board are allowed fifteen passes for
gentlemen and fifteen for ladies, making thirty for the five
days. That doesn't look so big, does it, Mr. Nordman t Or, in
lieu of that, they are allowed 150 single passes, if they so desire.

Now, I believe the pass is a gocd thing; it is the abuse of this
system rather than the use of it that is to be eritieized. I do
not know as there is a member of the Board who has used up
all his passes. I am free to tell you how I have used some of
mine, as superintendent of the dairy department. The first
year I waa superintendent I wai urging a dealer in machinery
to exhibit, a man in another state, and the best I could do the
first year was to get him to send a representative from his
firm to our Fair to visit. I sent him a pass and requested him
to come and see what we had. The next year he became an ex-
hibitor and has been an exhibitor ever since in that departmMit,
and one of the largest exhibitors that we have in that depart-
ment. I believe that is a good use of the pass. Last fall I
was able to secure an exhibit from our county and in collect-
ing that exhibit it necessitated the employment of a good many
men in our town and county who had to do little things to get
this exhibit assembled, and as part remuneration I presented
some of these men passes. Many of them were not used, they
didn't come to the Fair nt all, but I believe that is a good use
for a pass, and I believe that thirty passes, fifteen ladies' and
fifteen gentlemen's passes are not too many for the members of
this Board.

Mr. Martin; I am not a member of the Board, but I think

Dyil ..do., Google

"Wisconsin State Boahd op Aqricultdbb, 341

I can give you a pointer; that pass business is a matter of
the wrong kind of bookkeeping. There is no doubt that you can
iise it to good advantage, but you ought not to charge it up to
passes on your books. ,

Mr. Wylie r That is right, there is where we make our mis-
take. The papers of Milwaukee eome out and say we are giv--
jng away $3,000 worth of free passes. Now, we all know there
is no such thing as that.

Seey. True: Inasmuch as this matter is being brought int«
the report, I think it is pretty well for me to state just what
tickets are authorized by the Board, and just what tickets are
sent out, in order that persons reading a report of this meeting
may know precisely how we are governed in that matter.

Under the rules of the Board, I am authorized to issue
tickets to the elected State ofBeers and ladies, to members of the
Legislature and ladies and to the editors of papers of the State
and ladies ; to the president and secretary of each Agricultural
Fair in the state; to the crop reporters who furnish us the
material from which we make up our crop reports for the
season and also to the ex-members of the Board. Then in ad-
dition to this as has bten stated fifteen gentlemen's and fifteen
ladies' tickets are given to each member of the Board, or if He
chooses to take them in single passes, ht gets 150 single admis- ,
sion tickets instead of these thirty books.

As Mr. Nordman stated in his remarks, I do not believe
there is a State Fair in the country that regulates this matter
as closely as we do. Our admission at the gate is based upon
the principle that everybody that goes through the gate gives up
something, everybody that goes through the gate gives up either
money or a ticket entitling him to an admission. If he is an
exhibitor, he has an exhibitor's ticket, one admission for each
day. If he is a concessionaire and pays sufficient money, he
gets one ticket for each $10, that is, a ticket good for the week.

Now, this talk that crops out every cnee in a while with refer-
ence to this matter of the use of passes is largely based upon a
misapprehension, if nothing worse, and from what I have stated
I leave it to you gentlemen to say whether we have not done '
what is proper in the distribution of these passes.

The newspapers of the state help us very decidedly in adver-
tising our Fair. The State Legislature is supposed to be in-
terested in oiu" work; they have made appropriations for im-

Dy,l..do., Google

342 Annttai. Bbport op the

provements apoo the grouDd and it is nothing more than prtqwr
that th^y thould be placed is a pcsition to attend the Fair and
see what is being done with the money that they have given to
the state.

I know that my crop reporters, have richly earned a little
confli deration, such as we can give them in this matter, and we
should keep on gccd terms whh the county agricultural societies
of the state, because they are feeders for us as a lai^r ex-
hibition.

So that I really believe that there is no abuse of the pass
privilege nnless it comes through the indiscriminate use of
passes on the part of the membership.

Preat. MeKerrow : New, I must answer that, Air. Secretary.
Like Mr. Nordman, for the li^t four or five years, instead, of
taking books I have been taking the 150 single admission tickets.
Now, I believe it was the sentiment of the Board when they first
voted these fifteen book&^-at that time the book was good for
lady and gentleman, — and they voted those fifteen books in lieu
of raising their salary, because the State Board of Agriculture
was very poor in those days and they were getting no salaty.
So instead of duplicating that salary they voted these fifteen
books for themselves to use for a purpose.

As President of this Board for the last ten years — I have been
President nine years, too long I will admit^I was always in
trouble because people found <;ut or suspected that we had some
pawes and they kept boning me — not the farmers, I will say I
cannot remember more than three farmers in the state of "Wis-
consin in twelve years asking me for a pass, but unfortunately
I live near the city of Waukesha and have a personal acquaint-
ance with a few people there, and some of those occasionally
asked me for a pass. In my duties as President, the other mem-
bers of the Board sometimes, when their passes ran out or they
didn't want to give them away, they would simply say, "Go
and see the President." There were some cases where I felt
that I could do good to the Fair by giving them a one-day
ticket, and so I took the 150 and have done so the last three or
four years instead of the fifteen, or, as it is now, thirty books,
and every year I have had plenty of requests to use up not only
150, but 350, or more.

Last year when the Fair closed I counted up tlie passes I had
left, and I had 87, which the janitor put in the fire. I know

Dy,lz.J.., Google

Wisconsin State Boahd of Agricdltuhe. 343

other membera of the Board had passes left, but one year a few
years ago we got up against several propositions when we had
to let the 'sheriffs in, finally we did furnish them with tickets
and we dug down in our pockets and used the fees to let the
Milwaukee Sheriff and his deputies into the grounds, a little
legal question being involved, and at that time my Friend
Nordman loaned me his tickets and I never paid them back; I
gave them out to those sheriffs and they put them into the pass
gate I suppose. You have heard statements of our fumishin'g
passes to officials of Milwaukee. "We " are giving them passes
and getting their police force and their fire department force
without pay. The firemen come ont there and remain for the
week, and when cne cf those firemen who is watching our in-
terests comes to me with a very doleful story and tells me that
his linen is all soiled and he can't very well afford to send it
to a landry because his wife does his laundering, and she wants
to get in to get his soiled linen, what can I do but give him a
pass? I will admit I have too tender a spot in my heart, so that
a man gets a pass for his wife and she gets his linen, I suppose.
The policeman has the same story — well, he usually goes home
at night, but as he is doing extra hours' work for us and can't
get to see his wife for the whole twelve hours, he puts up a very
beautiful story and I give him a pass. Now, I have a wife and
I am in there to stay for the whole week, and I like to have
her -come in and she gets a pass.. It isn 't very nice for her to
come alone either, so sometimes I give her a pass to bring in a
lady friend, or even a gentleman friend, if she wants to. It
doesn't do any harm.

I think that so far as the members of the Board are concerned
that they mate good use of these passe?., and as they get them
in lieu of salary, they ought to have them,

Mr. Martin : I have just one more little suggestion and this is
in favor of the Board. I have seen at some of the large Fairs
something I liked very well and that is that part of the dining
room is kept for the use of the Board, where the Board can get
tt^ether and discuss their business affairs while they are eating
their dinners. I think that is a very good thing. In some places
they add to that group the judges and the superintendents, and
nobody else is in that part of the building. They pay their

PROFITABLE FARMING IN SOUTHERN WISCONSIN.

R. E. Robert.^ Corliw',

The true science cf Agriculture is to so manage our land that
it will continue to yield bcuntiful crops without losing its pr:;-
ductiveness. At the present time, one of the greatest problem.!
the farmer has to deal with, is building up and maintaining soil

fertility, and all twentietli century farmers should endeavor
to leave their estates richer in plant food elements than they
were when they commenc^ed to cultivate their farms.

The prosperity of a country or a state, and its power of
produetiMi, rests upon its soil fertility which is the basis of
profitable farmiDg.

Farming has undergone great changes in southern Wiscon-
sin. In the early days grain was sown, harvested and si>ld
from the farm, to that extent that the soil failed to respond
longer with any degree of profit.

Then those that had followed this system of farming, if ft
can be called a system, were compelled to gradually turn their
attention to grass and live stock growing in order to build
up their soil. At present and for several years past, in many
localities in southern Wisconsin; with a large number of farm-
era the pendulum has swung back from grass and live stock
growing to cash-crops, such as tobacco, sugar-beets, cabbage,
and other vegetable crops witli fair success. Many that grow
these cash-crops mentioned and the truck gardenera that raise
lai^e crops of vegetables which all requires a fertile soil and
a large amount of fertility, usually are located so they can se-
cure the fertility necessary in manures from the city stables
and stock yards for their farms to maintain its productiveneii.

But those that are located so that they cannot a/;>.il t!ie;i;-
selves of this advantage, must necessarily keep live Kto::k of
Some kind to convert all the roughage and gra'n.%^ infj-. a
finished product in order to maintain the fertility cf the land,
or it will lead to an impoverished soil as sure as night follow,s
day.

Another erroneous practice pursued by .many fanners at
present for quick returns are selling at the p:-e::pnt hi/i p.'.L- a
their crops of hay and grain, they chiiming they can t-a> I) more
immediate money and easier \hm\ iVi'diiig the t-anie out upo;i
the farm.

Assuming that the price.'! fcr farm products «-ill never reach
the low mark of the pa-st; this .'system continued from year to
year will surely impoverish their farms, as no practical cr suc-
cessful system of grain grcwing can be pursued, unless con-
nected with live stock growing.

Another great hindrance to profitable farming at the pre.ient

Dyil ..Jo, Google

346 Annual Report op the

time, owing to the scarcity of competent farm help, is the at-
tempt to ffirm too large an acreage, as the farmer's yearly
profit cannot always be estimated by the number of acres he
tills.

A small farm properly managed and worked, will invariably
yield a profit, while a large farm insufiieieiitly worked and grown
to weeds, will certainly result iu a failure and loss. While a
great many large farms are worked very successfully, as a
rule many are not.

Now this method i-annot long continue, for our land is too
valuable to abuse in this hap-hazard manner, and, as land
necessarily advances in price to compare with laud in other sec-
tions, I believe the time is coming and in the near future
when these large faims of a half section or more will be
divided into smaller farms, posfibly eighty acre tracts and the
farmers upon these smaller farms will produce as much as is
now raised upon a quarter section.

Invariably owing to the lack vf proper and thorough work
in putting in the enjps, cultivating and securing the same, the
farmer is rewarded with only half a errp, consequently the
largest profits are secured from the smaller or best cultivated
farms. Therefore in my opinion to insure success, under exist-
ing conditions intensive farming should be practiced rather
than extensive.

"With this fact in view, those who are diminishing farm val-
ues by poiT farming or are trying to get all out of the land
they can and not return into the soil at lea.st a portion taken
from it without a thought of the disastrous result, have com-
mitted a great injustice to those who must follow and occupy
the land they have impoverished when their brief charge has
expired, and also against the prosperity of our great common-
wealth. While in a great measure it is their privilege, it is
wrong to rob the soil, to diminish its producing capacity, and
thiis bring hardship upon the following generation.

It is our duty to leave our farms in as fertile state for cul-
tivation as we found them, and in many casei much better.

To accomplish this the fanners must farm more intelligently,
not necessarily to use our hands less but our head more, to
study die principles that underlie successful farming, as the
true farmer, of all business men, must Tiave system, to realize

the most out of every thing, and be able to carry it out by
eonstantly improving the soil and keeping the land rich, or in
a high state of production.

This can be realized by breeding and keeping a high grade
kind of live stock, as live stock and their products command
high prices ; and all indications point to the fact that they will
continue so indefinitely.

With this apparent assurance and from the fact that we have
all the natural resources for the production of high class
dairy products and with our great shipping facilities the pro-
duction of milk upon the farms and shipping the same to the
cities has become a great and remunerative factor in apicul-
ture; combining this with our creameries, cheese factories, con-
denseries and other milk food factories, has been the means of
placing Wisconsin pre-eminently in the front rank in the dairy
industry. Especially the southern part. However as extensive
a3 this industrj- has become, there are other important consider-
ations in live stock growing — ^the subject of meat production.

The great mass of people in our cities will continue to con-
sume meat. They will persist in requiring good beef, mutton,
pork and lard and those that are engaged in this industry have
realized good returns. Prices for all meat products, from various
causes are high and the future holds encouragement for all those
that will engage in this industry. With a good high grade class
of stock for that purpose as no farmer can expect to realize, a
profit from an inferior class of stock, feeding high priced feeds,
upon high priced land, any more than a dairy-man can from a
poor producing cow. As raising low grade inferior clasn of stock
is similar to poor crops, they will not pay expenses and a profit is
out of consideration.

Therefore I firmJy believe that live stock farming of some
kind is by far the best method of fiecuring the lai^est permanent
returns from the farm.

By growing such crops in rotation as the clovers, the great
soil restorative, with our grains and cc^rn, and feeding the same
(mt, especially our corn, the entire plant or stalk through the
silo, increasing the value of our com crop 30% over the old
method and thus realizing the full value from all our crops.
However, where a portion of the grain crop is sold off from
the farm each year we can . greatly enhance our fertility by
purchasing concentrated feeds, rich in nitn^en, such as bran,

Dyil ..do., Google

348 Annual Report op the

middlings, oil-meal and other mill feeds, thus replacing the
grain crop sold off by thia exchange. And by keeping enough
live stock of a high grade kind that can profitably eonsume the
farm products, yielding a gcod profit in animal production and
growth of the highest value and the by-product saved and ap-
plied upon the land for maintaining its fertility, I believe
comes very near pursuing a permanent and profitable system of
farming and those that are pursuing this standard of farming
are far more prosperous, their farms productive and valuable
and they are directly helping to raise this great profession of
ours to a higher plane and by so doing are elevating the science
of Agriculture, which standi pre-eminent and above all other
science (for without Agriculture we would have no use for any
other science) . Toward that high standard cur creator intended it
should be, "so he who makes the world better for having lived in
it," also his farm mure productive by his tillage, has surely not
lived in vain.

DISCUSSION.

Prest. MeKerrow : Now, this paper is open for discussion, fur
questions and remarks. The very best part cf a pr<^ram like this
is the discussion part of it. We all ought to have some ideas
en this subject.

Mr. Stiles; You spoke of live stock raising. What depart-
ment of live stock do you think would be best for a farmer in
your part of tlie state ?

Mr. Roberts; That the farmer would have to determine for
himself. Dairying has reached great proportions in Southern
Wisconsin. Also there is room for the meat producers, but
whichever a man should engage in, whether it be dairying or
me at- p reducing, he wants the best class of stock for that pur-
pose.

Mr. Convey t Tell us what class of stock you are raising and
why do you raise it 1

Prest. MeKerrow : Now, he is up against it and will have to
own up to his laziness.

Mr. Roberts; Well, the president says I will have to own up.
I am engaged in sheep growing. '

Prest. McKerrow : And he is sensible.

Mr. Convey : How about hogs I

Mr. Roberts : They are all right.

Mr. Convey: "Why!

Mr. Roberts : Hogs at from 8 to 9 cents a pound on foot and
corn at 60 cents a bushel, there is a good margin between the
price of com and hogs on foot, and it is a very paying branch
of live stock growing at the present time.

Mr. Scott: Which is the be&t class of live stock to keep up
the fertility of the soilf

Mr. Roberts: They all are good.

Prest. MeKerrow; But which is the best, is the question.

Mr. Roberts: Well, I presume that the dairy cow would
come near the head.

Mr. Stiles: Wouldn't that depend on how you sold the
products t

Mr. Roberts: Yes, it would, of course.

Mr. Wylie: What is the matter with sheep t

Mr. Roberts: They are all right; if they were not, I would
not have them.

A Member: Aren't they better than cows to beep up the
fertility of the land T

Mr. Roberts : I think that the hy-produet of a herd of dairy
oows would be a little more valuable than what you could realize
from the number of sheep that you could carry upon your farm.

Mr. Stiles: Wouldn't that depend largely on what the ani-
mals were fed on?

Mr. Roberts: Yes, but sheep manure is richer, adds more to
the fertility of the land than that of any other class of animals.

Prest. MeKerrow; Isn't it a fact that a good dairy cow takes
out of her feed about 25 per cent of that which would go to
enrich the land and puts it into her product, whereas the sheep
only takes ten per cent?

Mr. Roberts: I should think they would take out more than
25 per cent.

Mr, Imrie: Mr. President, isn't there more fertility in the
manure from a sheep than from a dairy cow making butter?

Mr. Roberts: The question, which class of live stock pays
the best, I would answer in this way : Some farmers claim that
upon our high-priced land they cannot afford to keep, sheep.

Dyil ..do., Google

350 Annual Report op the

Over in England where land i& sis times higher than it is here,
the fanners there are keeping sheep and making money out of
them.

Mr. Scott: And isn't it a fact that they are selling to our
Americans at big prices?

Mr. Roberts : * Yes, they sell some. There sheep are largely
raised for mutton. Now, some farmers compare sheep and dairj-
cows in ■ different ways ; that is, different farmers. Some say
you can keep eight sheep to one eow, while ithers think you
cannot keep but five. Now, that is no way to compare them at
all. The safest way to compare sheep with dairy cattle is to
compare one thousand pounds of sheep with one thousand
pounds of cow, and in the proportion that you feed your dairy
cow, you will probably feed your sheep in that proportion, and
I assure you when you take the labor and the capital involved
the sheep will pay as good a profit as the dairy cow.

Mr. Scribner: You think any fool can be a sheep man, do
you ?

Mr. Roberts: No, sir, I don't.

Prest, MeKerrow: We won't accept that proposition, will
we, Roberts t

Mr. Roberts: Not at all. Any man can sit down and milk,
but it takes a smart man to handle a good flock of sheep and
raise a good flock of lambs.

Pres. MeKerrow : Of course it was a cow man that asked
that question. Now, Roberts and I have all the hair left on
top of our heads, but this man evidently has rubbed his hair
all off against the cow's flank, to keep her from kicking.

Mr. Convey : Some people are bald outside and others are
bald inside.

Pres. MeKerrow: This gentleman kuows by experience, be-
cause he is not bald on the outside.

Mr. Imrie: Mr. Roberts spoke of the high priced land in
England and of raising sheep on that. I read a little news-
paper clipping about Holland where land is valued from $500 to
$2,000 per acre, and farmers pay from $30 to $60 per acre for
rental and still they make money feeding and milking cows.

Pres. MeKerrow: Robert:s won't own up, but I am going to
do it for him ; there are some young fellows that like to work
BO well and so many hours that they are perfectly willing to

meet themselves coming out .with the pail full at night when
they are going in in the early morning to milk again. Roberts
and I dcn't belong to that class; we are a little bit too lazy,
and therefore we keep sheep.

Mr. Roberts; Sheep are like a good many men, they'don't
want to be disturbed in the morning before sunrise.

A Member: "What kind of sheep do you think the most
profitable for southern Wisconsin?

Mr. Roberts: I don't like to get info any trouble here Hi
regard to breeds, but I will say this much, that our blackfaced
breeds of sheep command the highest price upon the market
for this reason, their meat is nicely marbled and they are
mostly sought for by the buyer.

A Member r You think then that a mutton breed would do
better than a wool breed ?

Mr. Roberts: Yes, mutton should be the first consideration,

Mr. Stiles: As a sheep breeder, what would be your choice
of breeds; in other words, what kind of sheep do you raiset

Mr. Roberts; I said I didn't want to get into any trouble
in regard to breed, but I raise Shropshires myself; it is a
matter of taste, however; you may take any of the black-
faced breeds of sheep, and if it is a breed that will meet your
fancy, you will do the best with it, from Hampshire- down to
Oxfordshire-down. Those breeds are very popular.

Mr. Scott: How would it be about goats?

Mr. Roberts: Well, up in your Northern Wisconsin on cut-
over land, a man perhaps could put some goats there profitably,
but as there is no market established for mohair here, I can't
see any advantage, only that they might clear up that land a
little better than a flock of sheep would.

Pres. McKerrow: This question reminds me of a question
aeked at a Farmers' Institute a few years ago by a gentleman
in the audience. I noticed a squarely built, bright looking Ger-
man farmer begin to shake his head the minute the question
was asked, and then he broke out, and he says, "Ouf, we want
no goat. He is the devil. Where you want him there he isn't,
and where you don't want him there he is."

Mr. Roberts ; There is a good deal in that.

A Member: Do you think it is advisable an a small farm
to engage in sheep raising and dairying combined?

[gl.cJjvCjOOgIC

352 Anni'al Report op the

Mr. Roberts ; Yes, a farmer can -keep a few sheep on a small
farm in connection with his dairy. Of course he can't go into
it very heavily, owing to the fact that the sheep will do well,
but the dairy cow won't do quite its well if there are too many
sheep, as the sheep crcp more clcsely. But he will carry a few
upon his farm and he will not mi^s what they will consume
each year, and the farm will be a g od deal cleaner,

Mr. Scribner: If you follow up that theory with the milk
sheet, I think you will find that it is not so. A man who keeps
a milk sheet in his bam wouldn't make that statement, I am
sure.

Mr. Roberts: At any rate, the produce from the lambs will
be like finding money. I realize his dairy cows won't do so
well if the sheep crop very closely.

Jlr, Jacobs: Shouldn't we keep them in separate pasture',
anyway ?

Mr. Roberts : Certainly. That is the system I have followed,
the sheep and cattle do not run together.

Mr. Jaeobs: Do you think it is advisable for the farmer we
have been talking about to sell some cash crops off his farm 1

Mr. Roberts: If the man has the farm under a very high
state of cultivation he can grow some small amount of cash
crops and not interfere with his rotatirn. If the cash crop is
successful, he is that much ahead, and if it is a failure he doesn't
miss it. Of course, if he grows the.se cash crop.; to an excess,
he is going to upset thin^ to some extent and suffer from it,
he will certainly improverish his farm.

BIr. Jacobs: Doesn't he impoverish it to the extent of the
cash crop that is taken off the farmt

Mr. Roberts: Yes, certainly; but if he is feeding rightly
and buying back concentrated feeds with this cash, feeds that
he does not raise, he can keep up the fertility of the farm.

Prest. McKerrow: Then it will be a question whether this
cash crop will give hira ean income over and above the concen-
trates that he has to buy to keep up the land.

Mr. Convey: Do you think it is necessary to buy commer-
cial fertilizers?

Mr. Roberts : I don 't think it is necessary to U£e commercial
fertilizers. Many of those who are growing these cash crops
do, in a measure. It helps to liberate the fertility in the soil,
but these commercial fertilizers only act as a stimulant to t

i a stimulant to the

plant for that season. It dees net add humus to the soil, which
we exhaust quicker than anything else, and I say that the
farmer in Southern Wisecnsin, or any other portion, or any
other state, ought to feed out all the product there is upon the
farm and not depend upcn commercial fertilizers.

5Ir. Utter: If you think it is proper to buy concentrated
feeds to feed your animal and you have good market coaditions
and grow these cash crops which are highly profitable, couldn't
you afford to pay for plant food to feed your crops as well as
you can afEord to -buy concentrated feeds to feed your animals?

Mr. Roberts : I said that many who are growing these cash
crops, truck farmers and others, are buying commercial fertil-
izers, because it helps set free the fertility in the soil, and it
does pay them, but the farmer cannot depend on there com-
mercial fertilizers; it does not add any humus to the soil and
we must have our soil filled with this matter.

Mr. Utter : Shouldn 't they really buy plant food to feed the
plant as much as to buy concentrated feed to feed the animal ?
You are not buying feed to feed the animal which releases
some property in the animal?

Mr. Roberts: I said it did stimulate the plant and help it.

Mr. Utter: But you are just as truly feeding your plant by
buying plant food as you are feeding your animals!

Mr. Roberts: Yes, that is true.

Mr. Utter: So I don't like to have you make that diatine-
tion between stimulation and feeding. I want you to make
this right on the record.

Mr. Scott: Mr. Roberts simply misspoke himself, he thinks
the fertilizer feeds the plant.

Mr. Roberts : Yes, but only for that year, and it does not
add any humus to the soil.

Prest. MeKerrow: And Mr. Roberts made this very impor-
tant point, that you have to have well bred and profitable stock
to feed ths concentrated food to; therefore, it is a question
whether you have the right kind of a plant to feed the fertil-
izers to.

Mr. Scott: But can't you, by feeding the animal these con-
centrated fcods, feed the plant also, and at the same time in-
crease the humus ccait^nts of the soil?

Mr. Roberts: I certainly think so.

Mr, litter: He had made the statement that he did not
think he could afford to buy eoiicentrates for the laud, and I
made the point that where the markets are jrood, it is just as
prcrfitable to feed the plant as to feed the animal. He thinks
more of the animal than he does of the plant, benaiiae he is a
live stock man.

Mr, Roberts: That is my case, but there are a great many
others — take it along the lake shore near our city. They are
growing cash crops at great expense, they have to depend upon
buying all their fertilizers. They will buy these stable manures
and stock yards manures as far as they can and those are the
men that are largely iLsing these eommcnrial fertilizers.

Mr. Stiles ; Dco't you think we can increase the fertility
of our farms under the rotation system more by feeding out all
we raise to dairy -cows and feeding the by-products to the hogs
than in any other way? I believe it anyway.

A Member; "What is the nature of your soil, Mr. BobertsI

Mr. Roberts: Mine is black prairie soil.

Mr. Jacobs: This term "increasing the fertility," might be
misleading. While it might be possible to increase the nitrt^n
in the soil, I don't see how you can increase the potash and
phosphates.

Mr. Stiles: The available fertility it what we really mean.

Mr. Utter: I understand Mr. Stiles means without buying
concentrates. Now, according to the very best authorities, it
is claimed that a rotation of crops doe:^ impoverish the soil;
while it makes available the plant food in the soil for the pres-
ent, that is one method of making available the fertility of the
soil, but you haven't added anything to the soil and you are
constantly taking something out of it, and unles^-s you replace
it in some way, you are depleting the quality of that soil.

Prest. McKerrow: The gentleman made the point of feed-
ing the live stock everything grown upon the farm under the
rotation of crops.

Mr. Utter: You are impoverishing your soil if you do not
buy feeds. Ton are not adding anything to the farm and you
are taking off something, and when you are taking off some-
thing you are depleting the quality of your soil. You cannot

WiscoNPiN State Board of Agricui.titre. 355

run through a series of years, keep your farm up, without add-
ing something from the outside. In that I think I am sustained
by the very best authorities.

Mr. Scott: We are taught by the chemists that in every ton
of wheajt bran that we purchase from the Minnesota mills, we
bring to our farms nearly sixty pounds of phosphoric acid and
quite a lai^e ionnage of potach and the manure made from this
bran of course contains these elements in a largely available
condition. I don't see why it is not just as well to buy potash
and phosphates in the form of concentrated feeds for the animal
as in the form of concentrated fertilizers for our soil. I think
I fully realize the importance of keeping up our soils in a good
state of fertility, but sometimes I think we might as well starve,
to death as be scared to death.

Now, Prof. King has been over to China studying up thi^
question of fertility and he iind.H upon soils which have been
farmed for possibly 5,000 years, upon bringing samples of these
soils back here and analyzing them, that there is still sufficient
fertility, mcstly in a potential form to be sure, which, if rend-
ered available would bear profitable crops for 5,000 years longer.

Prest. McKerrow : So you need not be scared to death for a
while yet, you and I won't be here that long.

Mr. Hill ; I jtust want to disagree with my friend TJtter. He
says the fertility could not pr.ssibfy be maintained. Possibly
it oould not be, if you are going to figure down to a very small
decimal, but I think that if you fed out everything that you
raise on the farm and sold nothing but butter, you would be
actually adding, especially if you raised clover, that not only
the available fertility but the total fertility of the farm would
be increased.

Mr. Utter: That is a fair statement.

Mr, Hill : I want to add one word about commercial fer-
tilizers. I made two trips reijently to the island of Guernsey
where land is worth from $1,000 to $2,000 per acre and rents
from $50 to $100 per year, and I suppose those farmers have
found out ty experience that they cannot depend upon com-
mercial fertilizers ; at any rate, it is a fact that they use very
little in the way of commercial fertilizers in that very inten-
sive farming, mostly under glass, and it was very poor land to
. begin with.

Mr Utter: I rise in this audience as a Wisconsin farmer,
not aa a ermmereial fertilizer man, but the who'e trend oi
thought now all over the United States is fcr better crops and.
as we used to say in the Fanners' Institute, it is not how many
acres, but how much per acre. The time has come when we
have got to grow more per aere and every system that will
bring us aroimd to the ps^int where we will grow larger crop.-i
is to be studied.

I do not think there is anything that has attracted more at-
tention than those articles written by James Hill. He seems to
have the confidence of all the people both in the cities and in
the country; his word is listened to as that of a practical biis^i-
ness man. I dc^n't thiok that anybody should be satisfied with
his crops as they are growing. I find that the men who are
growing the largest crops are the least satisfied. It is a matter
of study at this time how best to manage your land and I do
not think you can study too much along these lines,

I know there is a prejudice in this state, has been, and Dean
Henry was one of the men that caused the prejudice, against
buying commercial fertilizers, iind, in a way, it is right. I be-
lieve in the rotation of crops as much as Mr. Stiles, and I will
follow it, always have done so in my farming, but on coming to
a point that I cannot even buy Stock Yards manure to the ex-
tent which is necessary', I find it necessary to study fertility,
and I am spending a few months in the winter with the nitrate
of soda propaganda, and our Government is publishing the best
knowledge along that line of the best methods of agriculture.
This country has reached a point that many foreign countries
have passed. Fifteen years ago Germany went through the
same experience we are going through now; on many of their
farms the soil had been exhausted and they were not yielding
profitably, but through their newer methods of cultivation they
have brought up those farms in Germany and to-day they are
growing two hundred bushels of potatoes on the average to the
aere, while we are growing one hundred, which has been largely
brought about by better fertilization, and I think this question
should be discussed fairly.

PROFITABLE FARMING IN CENTRAL WISCONSIN.
E. E. Jones, Rockland, Wis.

The conservation of the fertility of the soil requires a system
of agriculture that will conserve the productivity of the land.
For countless ages the great laboratory of nature has been in
active operation preparing this terrestrial globe for the habita-
tion of man. The glacial age in the movement of the enormous
fields of ice ground the granite rocks to dust and countless mil-
lions of earth worms desiccated the dust into soil that would
produce grasses, fruits, cereals and vegetables.

The present generation of farmers is indebted to the scientific
knowledge promulgated by agricultural institutions which ex-
plain the philosophy of plant development and compounds the
formula to increase productions. Nitrogen, potash lime and
phosphorus are the principle elements of plant food and to in-
crease productions, these elemeuts must be in the right pro-
portion of the soil. Inexhaustible quantities of nitrogen exist
in the air and are conveyed to the soil through legumes. Profit-
able agriculture does not mean adding extra acres to the pres-
ent holdings but such a management of the farm that its yield
will be enlarged and consequently the profits of the farmer in-
creased. The old system of grain fanning is rapidly giving
away to the more conservative system of live stock husbandry.
The farmer now feeds the bulk of his grain and roughage to
live stock and markets the surplus of his crops in concentrated
packages.

The main anchor of agriculture is live stock farming, as not
ouly are the products of the farm reduced to concentrated
form in animal industry but the land is conserved in its primi-
tive fertility by the fertilizers produced in preparing live stock
for market. With modern methods of the production of meat,
butter aud cheese and the facilities for marketing it at home
and abroad the gross incomes of farms are increased as com-
pared with the one crop grain industry.

Consumption of live stcek products is steadily increasing and
with the broader demand the live stock industry is annually
becoming more profitable. It is the class of live stock that the
farmer raises and the care he gives them that determines his

profit. In conducting a dairy his cows may be such inferior pro-
ducers as to practically yield no prcfit or they may be such
exceptionally superior animals as to return a net income of
50 or 75 per head. The same rules hold true in raising all
classes of live stock. Scrubs and low grade animals may con-
sume more feed than the value of the animal. The pure beef
breeds have been bred in lines of rapid development and early
maturity and their powers of digestion and assimilation of
nutritive rations has been established through many generations
of special evolution.

The animal machines that work the grain and roughage into
beef and milk products should be as near perfection as possible,
that the waste in food product* may be reduced to the minimum
in animal husbandry.

The farmer will find that it pays to gradually work out of
scrubs into pure bred animals. The transition can easily be
consummated in a few years and during that time of transi-
tion he can acquire a fund of experience that will achieve sue-
cess. The prices of pure bred stock at the pre-ent time are not
high and the opportunity is favorable to commence at this time.
He should select the breed he prefers and stay by it.

Elaborate buildings are net require'd in producing good live
stock, but the buildings should be- adapted to the class of live
stock selected. Dairy cattle reiioiire warmer quarters than
beef cattle. The buildings should be well lighted, ventilated
and kept clean. They should be arranged so as to be labor saving,
and all farm buildings should be kept well painted, as the
paint does not only preserve the building-s, but adds to the ap-
pearance and attractiveness of the farm.

The production of crops is allied with the development of
live stock; the animal cannot be matured to normal propor--
tions unless fed a generous ration. Hv with the land it should
not be asked to duplicate average crops unle.s.s the elements ci
plant food are liberally supplied.

A system of crop rotation should be practiced. The ground
should be thoroughly prepared before the crop is sowed or
planted. Great care should be given in the selection of the
seed. They should be varieties that have proven to.be adapted
to that locality and should be pure and free from all weed seeds-.

The high prices of all commercial food stuffs during the

past years should lerve as a warning to farmers to grow aj^
nearly as possible all feeds used upon the farm.

Silage, alfalfa, clover make excellent roughage feed and with
the cereals, oats, barley and corn the farmer has a good com-
bination of feed. Roots make excellent feed and a large quan-
tity of them can be grown on a small space of ground when
properly attended to.

Care should be given the barn-yard manure, as this will in
a large measure, be responsible for your profits. The farm
maehinery should be up-to-date, but no farmer should purchase
more than he really needs and should take good care of what he
has. Progressive agriculture which is now too often treated
with indifference will, before the end of the twentieth century be-
come an affair of necessity.

That central "Wisconsin is well adapted for the production
of high class pure bred stock, has been amply demonstrated
by the prizes won by her studs, herds and flocks at the lead-
ing live stock shows of the world.

DISCUSSION.

Prest. JIcKerrow: Mr. Jones represents the central part of
the state. Conditions are similar to southern Wisconsin and
yet they are different to some extent. Now, find out what he
kntows about it.

Mr. Jacobs : Do you think, Mr. Jones, that a farmer can
profiitably handle more live stock on his farm than he can
grow feed for on the farm?

Mr. Jones: I think the great trouble in central Wisconsin is
that most of them don't have enough to take care of the feed
they grow upon the farm.

Mr. Jacobs: Can he safely and profitably handle more and
buy feed for them!

Prest. McKerrow ; The question is, will it pay for him to do
that!

Mr. Jones: That depends, in a large measure, upon what
class of live stock he is handling.

Mr. Scribner: Shorthorns, for instance!

Mr. Jones: I wouldn't advise any man to raise any more

farm.

Mr. Nordniau : Catt'e will do belter when they have lots of
pasture.

Mr, Jonps : Yes, they do, and mo.rt farmers have more pasture
tJian feed to carry them ever the winter.

A Member; Ab:>ut what proportion of corn do you feed?

Mr. Jones: We don't feed any com to our cattle iu tlu^
winter only what they get in the silage. We feed barley and
oats; we mix it, half and half.

Mr. Nordman: Do you ever add any branT

Mr. Jones: We don't feed much bran. We feed clover hay.

Mr. Jacobs: Have you ever tried it?

Mr. Jcnes : We tried it a few years ago. We had a couple
of acres, but the June grass finally killed it out. We had a
couple of nice cuttings of alfalfa, but the June grass smothered
it out. We are gcing to tiy a small piece again.

A Member: Your laud is clay soil?

Mr. Jones; No, sir.

Question : You are i>n the other side of the valley from the
sand!

Mr. Jones: We have no sand within two miles of my place.

A Member: You have never been sorry that you started in
with good cattle ?

Mr. Jones : I never have been sorry we started in with Short-
horn cattle.

A Member; You have always believed, a,iid yju believe to-
day it is a better breed for you than any other?

Mr. Jones: I don't think any man can make a success breed-
ing anything but what he likes. A man who selects a brefld
should know it before he selects it, and if he likes that breed
he should stay by it. I know every breed has its up and downs.

Mr. Jacobs: Even if he doesn't like the breed when he fir.^t
starts in with them, don't you think that by working with theui
and caring for them he will get to like them better after a
while 1

Mr. Jones: Why, yes.

Mr. Eoberts: Aren't there other kinds of cattle to grow be-
sides Shorthorns, good ones?

Mr. Jones: I don't think there is much diiference between

A Member : Do you get a fog with your frost t

Mr. Jones: Yes.

A Member : In the Kickapoo Valley we have a fog generally
that stops the effect of the frost.

Mr. Jones : This last September we had a frost that affected

Mr. Jones: You wouldn't say so if you would see how they
are putting up silos there.

Prest. McKerr6w: A Parmer's Club in La Crosse county at
a meeting a few years ago voted that the silo was no good,

Mr. Jones: I don't think there is a section in Wisconsin
that is putting up any more siics than they are in La Crosse
county. Slany of the farmers up our way have two silos.

A Member : Is it a fact that after feeding silage three years
it affects the heifers' months?

Mr. Jones : We have got two' cows in our herd eleven years
old and they have been in the herd since they were two years
old and eating silage, and I haven't been able Jn detect any
trouble.

Prest. McKerrow : I will answer that question of the gentle-
man. It does. It makes their mouths water for more silage.

A Member: I know people who are feeding silage that find
that the cows are affected that way.

Mr. Jacobs: I had one cow that I fed silage to and she lost
her teeth — she was about seventeen years old, and she had been
fed silage fourteen years.

Mr. Nordman: Do you raise any sheep, Mr. Jones!

A Member: Don't you think that the Shropshire would do
better on our hills and soils than a fine wool 1

Mr. J':nes: It is very- few fine wools you will find in that
country at this time. They are mostly all Shropshires or Ox-

BIr. Jacobs : Do you milk your Shorthorn cows or let the
calf mn with them t

Mr, Jones: Let the calf suck them. However, we do not
make a practice of letting our cows dry when we wean the
calves, we milk them about two and half months.

Mr. Jacobs: Hlt>w Itmg do you let the calf run with the
mother ?

Mr. Jones: Different ages; we sell our calves right away
from six months up.

Mr. Jacobs: Do you let the calves run with the cows?

Mr. Jones: No, turn them in twice a day after they are a
week or so old.

Mr. Jacobs: Tou like that better than feeding the calves?

Mr. Jones: "Why, yes; I am like Mr. Roberts and Mr. Me-
Kerrow, kind of lazy.

Mr. Everett: Where do you get milk for swine?

Mr. Jones: They get what little we have left.

Mr. Nordman : About how many cattle per acre do you keep,
or how many acres per cattle, 'either way?

Mr. Jones: Our farm is a rough farm. We have got hills
and we have about 120 acres or so that could not be cultivated
and then 'we have somewhere around thirty or forty acres that
have been chopped off and we make pasture out of it. We usu-
ally have fifty or sixty head of cattle and we have two hundred
acres altogether. We have a field that we do not figure on for
pasture that is about forty or fifty acres. Some of our land
is quite steep.

A Member : Well, that hill land makes a good place for past-
ure, doesn't it?

than the bottom. "We grow clover in the bottom where we live,
but they prefer the hills.

Mr. Jacobs: They do well on the native blue grass pasture.

Mr. Jones: Tes, they do. They eat off the hillside before
they begin at the bottom, as a rule.

Prest. McKerrow : I now introduce Mr. U. Nordman, who will
discuss Farming in Northern Wisconsin.

Mr. Nordman ; I feel a little lonesome in this audience. Now,
you take Mr. Jones and Mr. Roberta and they each had plenty
of neighbors down here to sustain what they said, and to dis-
cuss these questions with them, but as I look over this audience,
the only neighbor I can see is Mr. Scott, and I am thankful for
that much.

Prest. McKerrow ; Tou are thankful for small favors.

PROFITABLE FARMING IN NORTHEN WISCONSIN.
Ed. Nordman, Polar, Wia.

The highest profits in fanning can be secured only when the
farmer manages his farm in harmony with his surroundings.
Because of peculiar soils, climatic and market conditions, every
locality is better adapted to some lines of farming than it is
to others, hence it follows that one of the first essentials of suc-
cess is that a farmer shall study his environments to the end
that he may produce the things that are at once best suited to
his land and to his market.

Applying this principle to northern Wisconsin, we find there
are several lines of farming that this part of the state is well
fitted for. First of these in importance, of course, is dairying.
After this might be mentioned, sheep husbandry, vegetable
growing, poultry, fruit cultiu^, etc.

I think it has been fairly well established that considering
area, no other section of the United States has greater advan-
tages for those engaged in these lines than has northern Wis-
consin. Of, cours'e, there is a variety of soils and other condi-
tions here that for each of these lines make some parts of this

Dyii ..Jo, Google

364 Annual Report op the

territory more desirable than other parts, but taken as a whole,
there are opportunities here for a large number of people to en-
gage in many kinds of farming.

But for many years to come, a lai^e majority of these farmers
will make dairying the big end of their business. Naturaleon-
ditions will compel this. While generally speaking, the soils are
fertile, they will not stand much cropping without putting some-
thing back. It sometimes happens that the crops best suited
to the dairy eow, when raised in a relation are also the easiest
on the soil, and when, besides, they are fed out on the farm and
the manures are carefully saved and applied, they build the
land up, instead of running it out.

There is another reason why farmers should turn their at-
tention'largely to dairying in this section. Northern "Wisconsin
is sometimes credited with having a great abundance of cheap
land. What is meant is the unimproved cut-over land of which
there are great quantities. These lands can be bought for from
ten to twenty dollars per acre, but by the time they are improved
to resemble a modem dairy farm in the older sections, they are
not so cheap after all. Being more or less expensive, the more a
farmer can make his farm produce, the less land he needs to
improve to answer his purpc«e. I wish to say, that I know of
no way, taking one year with another, to get" larger returns per
acre than to go into dairying. If the land is farmed intelli-
gently, there would be no difficulty in keeping a cow, per acre,
of the cultivated land, but how should we proceed to get this
result? To get the feed for these eows, we should establish a
rotation to consist of com, clover, and some kind of small grain,
but the principle dependence should be placed upon clover and
com. Indeed, I believe it possible and profitable on a level
farm, or one only slightly rolling, to establish a two year rota-
tion consisting of corn and clover. This can be done by seed-
ing the clover in the com at the time of the last cultivation.

In this connection, I desire to point out the necessity of a
silo on a northern Wisconsin dairy farm. I believe there is
greater need for silos in this section than further south, for the
reason that the seasons are shorter and the weather cooler and
more moist, making it more difficult to mature and cure out
our principal crops. When they are put in the siio they are
stored in the best possible condition, and now just a word as
to how good corn silage can be made in our part of the state.

Wisconsin State Board op Agriculture. 365

A variety of com should be grown that will mature in ordinary
seasons. Even though it does mature, the stalks will contain
more juices than the same variety grown farther south, and it
will greatly improve the quality of the silage to dry the com
out some before putting it into the silo. I have never thought
that frost injured com any, except to stop its development if
frosted before maturity. In case of frost it is necessary, of
course, for best results, to ensilo the com before the leaves are
damaged by the weather. Silage made from corn handled in
this manner can be fed in much larger quantities and with bet-
ter results than if made from corn that from any cause con-
tains too much moisture. Most of our cows will eat a well
packed, well rounded bushel basket of this silage, each, twice a
day, and thrive upon it as they would upon good pasture,

I have had no experience with clover silage except what
was put into our silo mixed with the com, but I have seen it
on other farms, and I have come to the conclusion that hereafter
it will pay me to, each year, fill one of my silos with clover.

I have gone to this length to discuss silos because I believe the
future of the dairy industry in our section clearly hinges on
their construction and proper use.

Our seasons up north are short at beat, but while they last
crops make a rapid and vigorous growth. One field of flint com
on our farm made a gain of 100 inches in 30 days, which was
on an average of better than 3 inches of growth per day
throughout the month of July. "While this growing period is
on, our stock is, of course, provided with the b^ feed that
nature produces in the form of pasture. By the use of siloa,
our farmers can extend this favorable season over the whole year.

To return again to the question of fertility and the facts are,
of course, that other things being equal, the farmers profits
fnnn his work are in direct proportion to the richness of his
soil. However, if the Northern Wisconsin farmer depends upon
the plant food placed in his soil by Nature, for his profits, he
wiU be disappointed. Opportunities in his case do not lie in
the richness of his soil, but in the fact that his soils can be made
and kept rich by growing clover without extra expense or labor
except what he gets pay for. A crop of clover for feeding
purposes is worth as much as a crop of wheat, and it has the
additional advantage that after it is consumed it furnished
sufficient plant food to grow a crop of grain. So our farmers

Dyil ..do., Google

366 Annual Report op the

are none the worse off for this lack of nitrogen in their soil, but
rather fortunate, as they will be forced in the beginning to
depend upon the air as a source of their plant food, and not
entirely upon the soil as many are doing at present.

The fame conditions that make clover so valuable to the
North Wisconsin farmer, also make his farm manures one of
his most valuable assets. To keep his land up to the highest
state of fertility, the farmer must carefully save, and scientif-
ically apply every fork-full of manure he produces on his farm.
Another way in which the farmers of this section can materially
increase their incomes is to improve the pastures for their cows.
As these pastures are managed now, they do not, as a rule,
furuish the feed they should. Every permanent pasture should
be divided into at least two parte, and every other year, early
in the spring, one of these parts should be gone over with a
disc or a sharp spring-tooth harrow. This should be seeded to
clover, and the stock kept off from it until it makes a good
gnowth. The two parts should be alternated in such a way as
not to permit either to be eaten down too closely.

In the matter of stock, the farmers of Northern "Wisconsin
must do as the best fanners are doing everywhere. That is,
they must keep stock that has been bred for dairy purposes.

While the matter of feed and care is all important, our
. farmers cannot hope for the best results unless the question of
breeds is also carefully considered.

DISCUSSION.

Mr. Imrie: Mr. Nordman stated that he could ruse a cow

Mr. Nordman 1 No, sir, not so far. I am not keeping a
cow per acre for all the land that we use, but I think it can be
done and will be done by the best farmers in a very few years.

A Member : Do you market your product at the great north-
em cities, or do you send it to Jlilwaukee and Chicago?

Chicago for you ?

Mr. Imrie: We live thirty miles from St. Paul, but all our

Mr. Convey: Mr. Nordman ttatea that he thinks it would be
possible to have a two-year rotation. Do you think you could
farm all of the farm in that way or just a portion of itt

Mr. Nordman: No, in our case we eould not farm all of it
that way. I think I stated that only the level portions would
permit of that. You take land that is more or less rolling and
it washes too badly to permit of that, but where the land is
level it works all right,

Mr. Convey: Do you think that would be ideal farming?

Mr. Nordman : I would like to have you point out what the
trouble would be.

Mr. Convey: Wouldn't you prefer to have a three-year ro-
tation, don't you think it would be .more desirable, on all your
farm J •

Mr. Nordman : ■ No, ar, not on all of it.

Mr, Convey : I mean all that is cultivated.

Mr. Nordman : We have in the neighborhood of twenty acres .
of land that you cannot grow com on at all, on account of the
washing, and in that I think the two-year rotation is also de-
'sirable. We have to substitute peas for corn. Now, I do be-
lieve that you can ke(tp the largest quantity of stock on your
farm by following that two-year rotation, because you get more
feed from your com and in your clover than you do from the
grain.

Mr. Convey : What would you do for bedding in a case of
that kind?

Mr. Nordman : Sawdust.

Mr. Everett: Where do ycvu get the protein feed for your
work horses ?

Mr. Nordman: I can afford to buy it.

Mr. Seribner: Have you ever seen any bad rt«ults from
using sawdust for humus)

Mr. Nordman: We don't depend on sawdust for humus, we
depend on our clover. This is hardwood sawdust and I haven't
seen any bad results from it.

Mr. Hill: Medium Red clover.

A Member: "What success have you had with alsikeT

Mr. Nordman : It grows very well in Northern Wisconsin.

A Member: I mean alfalfa.

Mr. Nordman : On a piece of land that is more or less rolling,
it is pretty hard to get alfalfa started, for the reason that you
cannot work the soil sufficiently to get a good seed bed. A rain
storm is liable to come along and wash your land all full of
ditches. On land that is level, we can grow it about as well
as in most other sections. You have got to prepare a good
seedbed for it and have the land rich.

Mr. Jacobs: Wouldn't it be advisable to select some level
land when you go up there to settle!

Mr. Nordman : When I selected that land I wasn't old enough
to judge, at least I didn't use good ju<^ment, I confess that.

A Member; That is different from Kentucky blue grass.

Mr. Scribner: In name only.

A Member : I have both on my place.

Prest. McKerrow : Does it continue different after you have
grown it several years?

almost like chess and it grows in bunches. It must stand a few

years before it makes good pasture, and the longer it stands the
better it is. I have it growing in ray pasture, and I like it.

Mr. Utter: Are there not two kinds of Kentucky blue grass!

Mr. Cowan r I did not int«nd to take part in this discussion,
but I cannot afford to see my old friend, Kentucky blue grass,
misrepresented by saying it is a grass that will grow only in
bunches. If there is any grass -that deserves credit above all
other grasses for the stock farm, in the Central States, it is
what we call the Kentucky blue grass, and it is a grass that, as
that gentleman says, will grow almost anywhere, and will root
out almost any other grass that grows, ejid it is a grass that
sods over completely your farm, as thick a scd as any grass that
I know of. In the Central States, Missouri, Iowa, Indiana and
Ohio, it is absolutely the best grass that the stockman can grow,
take it the year around. So I think that the grass the gentle-
man refers to must be some other grass than Kentucky blue
grase, because it forms a complete sod all over and a very stiff
sod, so much Eo that it will get into your clover pastures and
into your timothy pastures or meadows in a few years and you
will have neither clover nor timothy, but a solid sod of blue
grass.

A Member: It takes a year before it gets started,

Mr. Cowan : If you put seed enough in the ground the sod
will form very quickly, but the longer it stands the thicker the
sod and the better the pasture itself.

Pre&t. McKerrow : Of course there may be different varieties
of blue grass, but the late Dr. John A. Rice brought at differait
times Kentucky blue grass seed from his old home in the blue
grass district and sowed it oa his Waukesha county farm, and
he told me after several experiences that he would never do it
again, because Wisconsin blue grass was the same for all practi-
cal purposes as the Kentucky blue grass.

A Member: If I think of it next season, I will send you the
seed of these two varieties' We also have what they call or-
chard grass.

Prest. MeKerrow : That is very rank.

A Member : We also have what they call quack grass.

Prest. McKerrow : Please don't send any quack grass seed.

mer use. We did not malte a success in making ensilage out of
it, the part which was not cut but I believe the proper thing to
do, is to make some clover ensilage ; it helps, not only in the
summertime, but in the wintertime. I don't think our cows
ever did as well as this past year when we put up some clover
silage, it helped to carry our cows through the bad times, in July
and August, I want to ask Mr. Nordman, how many silos have
yout

Mr. Nordman: Two.

Mr. Jacobs: What was your experience in feeding this clover!
I understood you put it in in June. Now, what was your ex-
perience in regard to its spoiling as you fed it?

Mr. Seribner : You have got to be a whole lot more particular
in putting in clover silage than com. You have to have a great
deal of moisture with it. If I were doing it over again I should
add some water to it while we were filling. -

Mr. Nordman : I want to say in regard to Northern Wiscon-
sin, I believe there are enough natural juices in these clovers to
keep clover all right in the silo. I believe we have more moist-
ure in our northern crops of all kinds than you do south.

Supt. McKerrow: What was your air space!

Mr. Nordman; It was entirely open at the bottom, no pro-
tection there; it was practically the same as one thickness.

A Member: What do you re-enforce with!

Mr. Nordman : With No. 9 wire, not smooth wire, about two
to the foot. Every layer around we put in an extra wire; the
wire cost only three or four dollara, as I remember it now.

A Member: What shape is your silo!

Mr. Nordman: Our silo is square. I would not recommend
that shape for general use, but in our case we were obliged to
buiid it that way in order to have the door where it would be
handy at the comer. We built the silo to fit the place.

A Member : What would you do if you eouldn 't raise clover !
In Southern Wisconsin we have a good deal of trouble with
clover winter-killing.

Mr. Nordman: You ought to ask the Southern Wisconsin
fellow that question.

Supt. McKerrow ; Yon would have him sell out and come
north,

Mr. Nordman: I think it would be advisable.

Mr. Convey: Is your re-enforcement of much value in a
square siloT

Mr, Nordman: Yes, it should be placed on the outside al-
ways, or near the outside, and in that event it strengfthens the
silo just as it does all re-enforced concrete work.

A Member: la it continuous, doeg it extend all the way
around T

Mr. Nordman: Yes.

A Member: Did you use some stone?

Mr, Nordman: I used more than half stones, these little
cobble stones that we have up north in our section and it lessened
the amount of cement that I had to use about one-half. This
Bilo holds about 100 tons and the material that I had to buy
only cost me $38.

Mr. Jacobs: But you hadn't materia! enough to finish it you
sayt

Mr. Nordman: It holds 100 tons now. I will make it 16
feet higher and then it will hold 200 tons, or more.

Mr. Imrie: Do you think that is a safe proposition, to use
more than half stone t In talking to an inspector on concrete
work, he stud they we^e allowed to use 40 per cent green rock
without weakening it.

Mr. Nordman : I couldn 't tell as to that. The way we
mixed our concrete was by mixing good, coarse gravel and ce-
ment one to five. Then I put stones enough in with the gravel
so there was a good connection, and that is all. We dumped the
stones right into the mixture after the water had been added.

Mr. Scribner: Some lay in concrete and then put in a layer
of stone.

Mr. Nordman: Yes, we did that in building the foundation
for the sheep bam, but in this case we mixed it together and
it was quicker work, shoveled it into the hole. It has been very
satisfactory, we have got a good, solid structure.

Mr. Scribner : Would you build a round silo in the same way 1

Mr. Nordman: Yes. Mr. Imrie has a form for a round silo
that is very good.

A Member: Did you plaster up the inside with cement, or
was it smooth enoi]^h 1

Mr. Nordman: In our case it was not. Our forms were
common boards that warped considerably. The stones worked
right out next to the boards, so that it was an even surface ex-

cept that in some places iiie boards projected more than others
when we were filling. It was not a good form to have, these
common boards won't do, because they warp too much.

Mr. Imrie: If ycu have a smooth form I don't think it ib
necessary to plaster. Give it two coats of cement whitewash
and it is smooth, especially if this form is lined with galvanized
iron.

Mr. Convey : I surest that you ask Mr. Imrie to bring that
form here tMnorrow.

Supt. McKerrow: Yes, I will request you, Mr. Imrie, to
bring in the form of the Fanners' Institute silo. Some of these
fellows have fixed up this form for a round silo and it has been
a great success and we have christened it the Farmers' Institute
Silo, and you will see it tomorrow.

Mr, Convey : About what per cent of northern "Wiscoasin that
is capable of being cultivated is actually under cultivation, or,
to put it another way, about how much undeveloped land is
there up there yet T

Mr. Nordman: You mean land which would make good
agricultural land?

Mr. Convey: I mean that is capable of being cultivated t

Mr. Nordman : Oh, we will call it 60 per cent.

Mr. Convey; No, I guess you don't understand. I ask you
how much is under cultivation that is capable of being culta-
vated.

Prest. McKerrow: That would depend on how far south he
draws his line, I suppose. Are you in the north third or be-
low it?

Mp. Nordman : We are in the north third ; not one-fifth of
the land is cultivated, is being farmed or is settled.

A Member: I don't think there is more than one-twentieth.

Mr. Nordman: I guess you are nearer right than I am.

Prest. McKerrow: Mr. Nordman said "settled, " meaning by
actual settlers. This question as to being cultivated I think the
gentleman who says not more than one-twentieth is probably
nearer right on that.

Mr. Convey: With a 160-acre farm, how many acres can you
actually use in keeping cowsT

Mr. Nordman : Why, all of the best of it. I want to say
right here, and this advice isn't going to cost you anything,

farms. Do not Bpeiid your lives clearing up 160 or 200 aeres
of land and get no benefit from it in your life time ; take from
60 to 80, or perhaps Iras than that, and cultivate it thoroughly,
efftablish your rotation^ and get to makiog a living, and you
can do it just as well as they can in centr^ "Wisconsin or
southern Wisconsin if you have herds, and you will not have so
big a burden on your hands. You oan make a living all right.

Prest. McKerrow: Will that include a wife and family?

Mr. Nordman; That will include a wife and biggest family
they can raise.

Mr. Everett: I have been a good deal interested in the dis-
cussion of these three gentlemen. It has in a measure given
me some encouragement. I get a good many letters, sometimes
as many as a hundred a day, asking questions all the time,
and I get discouraged sometimes at the character of those ques-
tions, and I have wondered a good many times what was be-
ooming of the farm institute work, if it was not degenerating,
and I especially had that thought in my mind when I received
a letter the other day asking if it was all right to put marsh
bay into the silo. I have rather concluded that why the insti-
tute work is not so effective possibly is because my friend Con-
vey is back in the work this winter. I used to travel in the farm
institute work with friend Convey and he always had the last
question, he made us all kinds of trouble, just as he does now.
I remember one time that a good, sharp Irishman up in the
western part of the gtate got after him, and if any one ever
saw Convey downed, it was then and there. He began to talk
carbhydrates and potash and about microbes in milk, etc., and
he wound up by saying, "You want to be careful when- the
microbes begin to crawl up the capillaries," and sat down.
After we got over to the hotel I said, "What on earth was the
matter with you, talking about microbes crawling up the capil-
laries?" and he said, "By golly, the fellow had me up a tree
and -I had to say something,"

Prest. McKerrow : Now, Everett haa told ^ story on Con-
vey, so I must tell one on him. We were holding a very large
institute at Manawa, Sir. Everett had given one of his very
learned talks on the dairy cow, and the discussion was on and
there was the same kind of an Irishman that he has been bait-
ing about who sat back in the audience. Another gentleman

aaked Mr. Everett what kind of a calf he would buy to make a
good dairy cow, and Everett straightened up and began to work
his mind so he wouldn't step on the Jersey or the Guernsey or
Holstein breeders' toes, and seemed to be at a loss what to say,
when this Irishman spoke up. way back in the audience, and
said, "A heifer calf, of course."

Mr. Everett: Now I will have to tell a little story on Mc-
Kerrow.

Prest. McKcrrow: It is time to close this meeting.

Mr. Everett : I think the audience will overrule the chairman
and I think I have a right to close. I have not only been in
the institute work with my friend Convey, but I have been in
the same kind of work with McKerrow ; he and I used to travel
together in this kind of work and we were together up at Al-
goma at an institute fifteen or twenty years ago. He had been
giving one of his most excellent sheep talks, as he always does,
and he gives them better as he grows older, beoause he is get-
ting pointers constantly from his boy, and down in a front seat
sat an old German farmer who had been sitting there all through
the meeting, just sitting back in his chair listening without say-
ing a word. George finished up his story and the old German
said to Mr. McKerrow, "I would like to ask you a question,"
and you know McKerrow likes to be asked questions, especially
on the sheep subject, and it ia pretty hard to find one that he
can't answer, so he says, "Of course, go ahead and ask any ques
tion you wish." Well, the old gentleman says, "What is it that
makes black sfheep!" McKerrow 's head went down at once, he
looked serioas in a minute, and I saw at once he was up a tree.
The old German rather enjoyed his discomfiture and kept grin-
ning, and let McKerrow stammer and stutter for a while, then
he says, "Would you like I shall t«ll yout" "Well, yes," Mr.
McKerrow says, "you may an.swer the question." "Well," he
says, "it is the black wwil."

OUR BREEDS OP DRAFT HORSES.
Pbop. J. G. Fuller, Madison, Wis.

In discussing liiis important subject I shall attempt to present
the facts concerning our breeds of draft horses in relation to
the draft horse situation in our own state. Valuable statistics
on the horse industry in "Wisconsin are rapidly being compiled
by the department of horse breeding. At the present time we
have about 1700 draft stallions in Wisconsin. Classified as to
breeds, including pure-bred and grades there are approximately
1200 PercherODs, 200 Clydesdales, 150 Shires, 110 Belgians and
50 French draft.

These breeds of horses all have a common ancestor in the old
Black horse of feudal times, a race of horses developed in Flan-
ders, popular as a war horse and for heavy service. It was this
animal that gave size to the modern breeds. With the passing
of time and under varied conditions the modem breeds of draft
horses have come into existence.

The Percheron of to-day, as we see him in his greatest ex-
cellence, comes directly from his native home, the district for-
merly known as La Perch, in France. He is the result of many
centuries of breeding and we may well term him the champion
breed of the continent. He is a combination of the best conti-
nental blood with the very best of continental conditions. His
size, derived from the ancient Black horse, coupled with the style
and action, contributed by the horses cf the far East, have
been moulded into permanent form. History states that in the
year 723 Charles JIartel fighting for Saracens .or Arabians of
the far East went down in defeat in the batt'e of Tours, France,
at which time about 300,000 Arabian hors^es fell into the hands
of the French pecple. Most of these horses being stallions
they had & lasting influence on the hordes of the country.

Until about fifty years ago there were three classes of horses
in Prance all developed for a definite purpose and each class
of practically the same breed. They were as follows: the light
horse used for saddle and driving purpo::e.', the middle class
or medium sized horse used mainly for heavy driving or coach
purposes, and the heavy horse, the least in number, for draft and
agricultural purposes. For many centuries grey was the ccm-

Dy,lz.Jo., Google

Wisconsin State Board op Agriculture. 377

mon color of these horses, in keeping with the old Arabian
idea that bories under the gicy coat were most serviceable in
the heat of the sun. It was not until the last quarter of the
19th century that the Percheron became the favored breed of
French horses. Until this time he was classed as a French
horse, along with the other breeds of France. The Percheron
Horse Society of France wa^ organized in 18S3 and since that
time the name Percheron has been before the world as identify-
ing that race of horsej bred only in the departments of Nor-
mandy and La Perche in northwestern France.

Peench Draft Horses.

The draft horses bred outside of the Percheron district are
termed French draft horses and include the following breeds;
Boubonnair, Breton, Nivcrnais, Ardennais, and Pieardy. Thoy
have much in common with the Percheron, but are generally
heavier and more sluggi:^li. They lack the style and action so
characteristic of the well-bred Percheron. In quality and ccn-
formation they are much inferior to the Percheron, for they
have not experienced the long refining process of selection and
intelligent management. It may be stated that so far as we
know, the Boubonnair is the only one of these breeds maintain-
ing a stud book. The American French Draft Association or-
ganized in 1878 will register all of these breeds, including the
Percheron.

The Belgian.

The Belgian is the second horse of importance among conti-
n^ital draft horses and is rapidly growing in popularity in
the United States, but as far as I am able to determine, not in
"Wisconsin. He has an ancient ancestry, for lielgiijm has Icng
been noted for the production of heavy horses. It is said the
Romans secured their heavy hors-cs fiom Belgium.- Since 1850
special attention has betn given to the improvement of draft
horses and at that time » government stud was established.
In 1886 the official Draft Hor^ Society of Belgium was eitab-
lished and has since been in clo^e relation with tha horse breed-
ing interests.

The government promotes and regulates ite' horse breeding

industry by appropriating 'funds and defining their use. It
supports the registry association, maintains stallion inspection
service, contributes liberal premiums for horses, and subsidies its
best stallions.

, The Clydesdale and thk Shirk.

Th^ Clydesdale, our most favored breed of British draft horses
in Wisconan, is a Scotch breed developed in the valley of the
Clyde river in counties of Lanark and Stirling. The Black
horse of Flanders appears to have been an important factor in
the foundation of Scotch and English breeds as well as on the
Continent. There are supposed to have been several importa-
tions of heavy Flemish stallions into the British Isles centuries
ago. These mated with the native stock of the districts in
which they were introduced made the foundation on which the
Clydesdale and English Shire were developed.

Breeding pure-bred draft horses in England and Scotland
has long been an important part of their agriculture and the
great enjoyment and satisfaction of the people. In the last
thirty years well regulated registration associations have been
established and through the intelligence of breeders many
famous animals and families of draft horses have been de-
veloped. Personal interest, public sentiment and public aid all
have been conspicuous factors in ac^iieving suceera and bringing
the British driift horse to its present day enviable condition.
Both breeds have reliable foreign stud books established in both
countries about a quarter of a century ago.

This in brief is the history of the breeds to which belong the
1700 draft sires now in "Wisconsin. With this stock of sires
on hand and the market drafter steadily increasing in value,
the future is certainly a promising one for the producer of
draft horses.

Although the ideal mai'ket drafter can be produced by any
of these breeds, he is seldom found and his proper conforma-
tion is not yet well understood by the producer. His essential
eharacteristies should ever be kept before us. First. He must
have size and be built for labor. There is a tendency every-
where to overload the draft horse. Chicago has recently enacted
an ordinance specifying the maximum loads for horses, as
3500 lbs. for horses hitched singly and 4000 Iba. for horses

Dyil ..do., Google

Wisconsin State Boai^ op Aqbicultube, 379

hitched in pairs. We can, rest asBured the maximum load will
be required by all horses that reach the streets of Chicago.

Second. A deep bodied, closely coupled conformation should
always be a strong characteristic in our market drafter. There
are many counterfeits among the highly conditioned horses that
go to market. Like the show stallion when stripped of their
superflous flesh, there is little substance left for actual service
and only the teamster who works with the horse daily knows the
true value of the beast.

Third. Lai^e, sound feet are every where necessary to large
horses, whether they be working on the farm or in the streets of
great cities. At the present time it would seem that there is a
great lack of quality in the feet of our drafters. The feet Eire
often too small and not the proper shape, but I believe the
greatest fault is in lack of quality. A thin, brittle, uneven,
horn is altogether too common. Ill brief, lack of size, improper
body conformation and poor feet are the great faults to me cor-
rected in our market drafters of to-day. Producing good draf-
ters and improving the horses of our state can only be done
by grading up through the U7e of proper mares mated with the
best pure-bred draft sires. Select the breed best suited to your
condition and continue to improve it.

At this time the breeding of draft horses, both grades and
pure-breds, is greatly encouraged throughout the central west.
It is urged because the high prices of market drafters give as-
surance of a good financial return for the investment. But, it
seems to me that the satisfaction and educational value of breed-
ing and developing a high class drafter of one breed is an
achievement that should challenge the efforts of every lover of
improved live stock.

Special attention has been given to the draft horse breeding
industry in Wisconsin the last four years and our legislation
enacting the stallion service laws has created wide agitation and
like legislation has followed in many states. This agitation has
resulted in new and important interest in our breeds of draft
horses and has drawn particular attention to their breeding
and registry associations.

The relation of a breed to its registry association is an im-
portant one. The association should be vigorously supported
by every breeder, attract the admiration of every inquirer, and
enthuse the beginner with its accuracy and integrity. Unfor-

timately this has not been the ease in the history of all the
American draft horse registry associations. However, the
Clydesdale, the Shire, and the Belgian are most fortunate in
this respect. They are supported by strong and reliable associa-
tions both in their native countries and the United States. But
the history of Pereheron records is a different story. The Per-
cheron in France is supported by a well organized and thor-
oughly reliable association established in 1883. This association
registers the Pereheron horse only and is credited with being one
of the most reliable horse reigsters in the world. Unfortu-
nately the registration of the Pereheron horse in America has
never been conducted on a basis satisfactory to all parties con-
cerned. There are now three or more associations in America
registering Pereheron horses, all operating in their own way,
under somewhat different regulations and much to the disad-
vantage of the breed. It is greatly to be regretted that the
records of this grand breed of hories have not been kept and
maintained by one strong association supported by the united
efforts of the multitude of breeders throughout the United
States.

In conclusion permit me to advance three important essen-
tials highly necessary to continued progress in breeding draft
horses. First, more general education for the producer; second,
official inspection of service stallions by a state examining
board, and lastly, rigid national control and inspection of all
registration asEOciations.,

DISCUSSION.

Mr. Imrie: Is there any one Pereheron association that
registers all these different Percherons in this country!

Prof. Fuller: There are three associations doing business and
all register Pereheron horses brought from France. The one
that should be the old reliable society and the one that ought
to maintain the whole thing and have all the records is the
Chicago Association, the Pereheron Society of America, lo-
cated in the Union Stock Yards, Chicago. That is the one we
all like to do business with, but that is pretty badly raised up
on this proposition. The fact is that they have all these horses

Dyil ..do., Google

Wisconsin State Board op Aqricultube. 381

in their books and they cannot be located over in France, then
four or five hundred of them register in Percheron Society of
America, and they have got all these horses. Now the Per-
cheron Registry Company has been a pretty reliable association
and their work seemed to be on the right basia, yet they have
been in business only two or three years and they have records
of only that time, mostly of imported horses. Really all the
records are in the old association, the one that most breeders
would like to stand by and yet at the present time there is a
great deal of dissatisfaction within the old association. The
more I think of this thing, the more I appreciate the inconven-
ience of not having a good Percheron Association representative
of strong public regard and integrity.

Prest. McKerrow: -Do you mean to infer then that horse-
men are not quite as good as Shorthorn cattle men?

Prof. Fuller: If we rely on the statistics there is something
mighty wrong with out Percheron history, that is all there is
about it. "We are still human and I guess our importers, those
looking at the financial end of it, have been greatly to blame.

Mr. Convey : I am a member of the American Percheron
Association and I attended their convention last November or
December, and that matter came up during the meeting, as I
understand, formally, and the AESociation was conducted, it
was said by an individual, and the registry was quite unsatis-
factory in that ca.se. Later on, the breeders have organized,
and are making every possible effort to get the pedigrees
straightened out. If Prof. Fuller can suggest anything they
haven't done, I would like to hear from him. Even over in
France they almcst allowed the regular association over there
to lapse. As I understand some pedigrees were brought into
this county that they scarcely knew what to do with, but if
Prof. Fuller could suggest anything, I know that the member-i
of that association would appreciate any suggestion t' lat meet'*
with his approval.

Prest. McKerrow: Any suggestions, Professor?

Prof. Fuller: The only suggestion that I can offer is to
look out for the whole proposition; follow the thing up, and
state your pedigrees pretty carefully and be ready to back up
any movement in the direction of cleaning the thing up that
can be done.

Mr. Imirie: It seems to me that in all these organizati(ms

Dyil ..do., Google

382 Annual Report of thk

where they have so many different views, so many different ways
of registering, that the average man is mystified, one is reported
here and another there, and if they all come together and make
one association of it, it would be a great deal better for every-
body eoneemed.

Prof. Fuller: One more thin^, I think we should take active
part in our own state, bwrauKo we have been leaders in horse
registration. At Washington it has been a political proposition,
but I can't understand why it is that the National Government
cannot regulate these associations and make every one of them
do reliable business, or else make it go out of business. The
idea of the department, which the Secretary maintains, seems to
be to have certain inspei-tors travel around the country and in-
spect these associations in an informal way, and then they dash
off on another line and gpt all the information they can and go
away. "Why can't the Government say they shall not or they
shall do so-and-so, or else go out of business, and give us a good,
honorable association in which every farmer shall get a good
square deal?

Mr. Hill : This is along the lines of a paper I read two
years ago. I think as Jlr. Fuller dees that the Government
taking hold of this thing is very essential, not only for the
Percheron association, but for many other association?. Is
there any move on in that direction ?

Prof. Fuller: Yes, but I do not know that it is (crystallized in
anything definite. I think it is to be taken up next week in
the Horse Association meeting.

Mr. Convey : The American Percheron Asscciation sent a
committee, the officers of the Association waited on the Secre-
tary of Agriculture at Washington, and they have undertaken
a system of checking and keeping the record of all importations
so that we hope some improvements will be made along that
line. They promise to do so, at least we sent a special dele-
gation down there for that purjwse, and they suggested a line
of improvement, and I iinderstand the Department at Wash-
ington promised to work along that line.

Pr^t. McKerrow; Right along this line I have had a little
experience myself in pedigreed live stock for the last fortry years,
and it is unfortunate that irregularities,— we will call them
that, because it is a mild name, although I believe in calling a
spade a spade— have crept into some of these associationa coming

throHgh the work of {pertain importers and breeders, and con-
tinuously brought about by the love of filthy lucre, the almighty
dollar.

Going back to the early days of the Percheron Register As-
sociation, we had two very lai^e importing associations in the
United States; the Dillons of liloomington, 111., and the late
Mark W. Dunham of Wayne, 111. They began with stud books,
and were nominally associations, but really they were private
association?. They started out separately, but iinally the Dil-
lons and Mr. Dunham in a way got together, yet it is said by
those on the inside of. the circle that ^Ir. Dunham was dissatis-
fied at the two names, and ultimately had the name changed
from Norman to Pcreheron, and ultimately got control of the
organizations with Mr. S. B. Thomp.son, whose name to the old
breeders of horses is very familiar. Mr. Thompson was the
secretary of this Percheron organization and Mr. Dunham was
its director, you might say, in those early days. It ran along
in that way. The Dillons were not satisfied with this record,
because they were bringing a great many horses out of the
Percheron district and it is said Mr. Dunham got them outside,
but he got them into the Percheron Ftud hook, but as he is dead,
we will not go into that very far. The Dillons, not being satis-
fied with the chanp^e of name, were the moving spirits in the
oi^anization of the French Draft Stud B.cok, and other parties
were broi^ht in with them, and that book was established, which
has not had a very pnwpenuis history of growth: The Per-
cheron Stud Book went on and flourished well. It started
practically as a close incorporation, directed practically by Mr.
Dunham and it finally became the private property of Mr. S. B,
Thomi)son, and in the last days, as is mentioned in this little
circular, in the last days, under the management of Jfr. Thomp-
son, suspicions arose that false pedigrees were reported. Cer-
tain importers of this state have had as high as fifty blank cer-
tificates turned over to them, signed by Mr. S. B. Thompson,
and filled out the blanks, some on the boat coming over or in
quarantine, or on the ears eoming across the country, and some-
times, at least, made to fit the horse for the occasion. So the
story goes at least and I have had this story from some of the
men who have been at the heart of the business, in our con-,
fidential moments, you know. But the result of it was that the
best Percheron breeders, knowing these facts, moyed for a new

Dyil ..do., Google

384 Anntjal Report of the

organization, the larger organization now in this country. They
gave Mr. Thomp?cn an ultimatum that they wou'.d either run
him out of business, or he eould rell his books and rights in the
Percheron AsEcciation at a nominal figures to them, and Jlr.
Thompson gave up the iight after some litigation and counter-
fencing and work, and practically turned over his books to the
Association that you mention, that Jlr. Convey is a member of.
As I understand from thc«e who have been breeders antt inter-
ested in that association, they found a pretty dirty stable and
they have been trying to clean that stable ever since, and as
they are the larger association and the more representative as-
sociation in the country, I live in hopes that they will be able to
clean the stable. We are a.esured they will try to do the right
thing and help everybody.

Prof. Puller: They can keep the dirt from coming in again
anyway.

Prest. McKerrow: Now, I don't like to say of an association
that they work with dishonest purposes, although there may be
such, and not only that, but sometimes they are ignorant in the
matter of pedigree. Tou can usually straighten up an ignor-
ant fellow, but a dishonest fellow is a hard one to straighten up.
In some of these breeds that are being very largely imported,
there is always a little trouble in the air. Some of the sheep
associations of which I am a member have at times hod to send
our secretaries to the quarantine station where the sheep were
landed to take the number of importations, the tags and numbers,
and ages, all the data passible to get there to make sure that
things were kept straight with certain importers, and some ol
them had considerable reputation, too. Now, I do not believe
that the sheep men are any worse than the cattlemen or the horse
men. The government inspector, it strikes me, and I told Mr.
Wilson so a few years ago when they were starting this inspec-
tion business, — that a government inspector looking int.o these
orgalilzations ought to make it a business to be at the landing
points. He might not do any good, but if he took numbers and
names at the time of the landing of these animals, it niight
prompt some of our importers to be a little more cautious than

the Professor has spoken about the government inspector and
I am not objecting to him, but like Prof. Fuller, I do object to
the social visits, locked up sometimes by the social glass and
the good fellowship that prompt that inspector to go away
sometimes without looking very deeply into matters and to
give a whitewash to the business, to forget to inquire very much
about it. But there is one thing he never forgets, and that is
■to draw his salary.

Now, I believe that right on this question it should be the
business of the breeders and the farmers here assembled to
voice their sentiments along these lines, that is one of the pur-
poses of just such meetings of farmers as this.

The chair will admit that he has neglected to appoint a com-
mittee on resolutions, and at this time unless he hears objections
he is oing to appoint a committee on resolut'ois, and we trust
that one of the things that may be taken care of by that com-
mittee is the sentiment of this meeting on the line of registry
associations and that that sentiment may go to "Washington, t«
the Department.

Therefore, I will appoint at this time as the members of that
committee, Mr. C. L. Hill of Rosendale, llr. Thomas Convey of
Ridgew^iy, and H. C. Taylor of Orfordville.

Prof. Fuller: Mr. Chairman, I might say this, we are going
to try to get such a resolution passed by the Horse Breeders
next week, and I think it will go. As a teacher Tam contin-
ually urging our boys to go out and make a little investment
in- good live stock. Sometime ago one of our farmer students
had gotten a soaking on one of these pedigrees. I was to blame
to some extent for it, I thought I had sent him to responsible
parties. Now, that is a discouraging thing for a teacher. If
the rules are not going to bear up our reputations for honesty
and integrity, some of us cannot always preach those doctrines,

Mr. Cowan: I really know very little about the horse end
of the farm business, and I know very little about these draft
horse associations, and it is really a very safe rule when a man
knows nothing about what he is talking about, to keep still. But
a question has come up here that touches a little bit upon as-
sociations about which I do know something. The su^estion
of Prof. Puller that we have the national inspection rt^try is
good in a measure, but it is only good to the extent of controlling
that association and saying that in the future it shaJl be honest.

386 Annual Report, op the

The National Government cannot say to that association, "You
shall purge your records from all spurious pedigrees."

Now then, I fancy that these new Percheron a^'Eociations have
started up simply on the ground of their dissatisfaction with
tht irregularities and spurious pedigrees that have been re-
corded by the parent association. Now, you cannot fay to them, ■
they shall come into one organization so long as some other
association continues these spurious records so that the Govern-
ment or official inspection can be good to the extent of control-
ling associations in the future, but it cannot force it to pui^e
its records of false or spurious pedigree?, and so long as that
condition exists, I doubt very much if you can get the seceding
or new organizations to come in and join in one record.

Now then, if all the breeders of draft hor.-es should meet and
say, "We are willing to pui^e this record of all spurious pedi-
grees," you can see how it would reach out, the five or tax
hundred horses that should not have been recorded have been
used all over the country and been used on mares that were
absolutely right and straight. Now then, all of their offspring
for all these generations — why, it would reach into hundreds of
men and thousands of horses and hundreds of thousands of dol-
lars in value, so it is really a very perplexing condition.

Now then, our Shorthorn Association never had any such
condition as that. At one time there were three herd books of
recorded Shorthorns in the United States; there was the first
one that was organized hy Louis P. Abbott, at Buffalo, N. T. ;
there was the Ohio Shorthorn Herd Book and the Kentucky
Shorthorn record. The Kentucky Shorthorn record association
was oi^anized simply because some breeders became dissatisfied
with Mr. Abbott, because of the way he managed the business,
the books. He was recording cattle that beyond the state were
not entitled to record. That condition existed only until they
published ten volumes. Then the breeders got toother, bought
out the Ohio record and the Kentucky Shorthorn record, and
organized the present American Shorthorn Breeders' Associa-
tion, and of course, ceased to publish anything except the one
Herd Boob. i ">

Now then, there were a few pedigrees in the early days by
Mr. Abbott that perhaps should not have been recorded, and
the present Association, with the distinct understanding with
Mr. Abbott that ttiey would continue to report the produce of

Dy,l..do.,CA)OglC

"Wisconsin State Board op Agriculture, 387

those few cows, though they were not really entitled to record,
that was done, but then the Association ceased ever to accept
any of a similar kind, so that the record now is in a splendid
condition and I will say here that the American Shorthorn
Breeders' Association, dicing the- time that I have been con-
nected witli it, have investigated and put out of buaness three
men that we, after in vei ligation, proved were dishonest and
were recording fraudulent pedigrees. We struel: from the rec-
ord absolutely all those fraudulent pedigrees that these men
had recorded, and then put them out of business by a resolution
that they never afterwards could record a single animal in that
Herd Booli.

Now, if the record associations could only take that stand and
march right up to the line and hew to the line, there would be
no trouble, or at least very little trouble with the business, be-'
cause, when men find out that the Association is not going to
tolerate that kind of thing and that it will promptly expose
them, they are going to be very careful indeed in trying to per-
petrate frauds on the record association.

Prest. McKerrow : That is very good, but for want of time we
will have to close this discussion, because we have two very im-
portant subjects yet for this session. The talk of Mr. Cowan
was to the point and it is to be regretted that in some breeds
of live stock there have so many associations sprung up, and
yet there are people who argue that that is a good thing, be-
cause one association watches the other. I believe that instead
of that, there fhould be one central organization for the country
and then that each state at least ought to maintaia a breeders'
association that will help watch the conditions in their own
state, and where there is much breeding done, it will pay to
have county organizations. We have them in "Wisconsin and
the county organizations could watch the breeding in the smaller
districts and by all working together with a cap-sheath or Na-
tional organization, things can be kept cleaned up.

The object of this committee is simply to resolve on these
lines and help to educate us all, and we will leave it in their
hands.

The next topic on our pri^ram is worded "Breeding Sheep
for Highest Profit," but I understaand should be "Feeding
Sheep for Highest Profit," to be presented by a gentleman who
needs no introduction, because you have heard not only of the

FEEDING SHEEP FOR HIGHEST PROFIT.
Frank Kleinheinz, Madison.

The introduction which I have received from our worthy
President, Sir. BIcKerrow, is a little extreme, I believe, because
you probably will expect t<x> much cf me when I begin talking
here, and when I am through you will probably que.'-tion me
more sharply than I am able to answer you.

I will Eay that while I know some men perhaps have a little
more knowledge and experience about certain lines of live stock,
still there is no one that I ever got acquainted with that knew
it all, although we admit that some are a little bit further along
on certain lines of work, having had more experience.

If we want to consider this subject properly, we must, I be-
lieve, start with the lamb shortly after its birth. To obtain the
highest profit on sheep or lambs intended for market, we should
not overlook the fact that lambs should be docked, and male
lambs not intended for breeding purposes, should be castrated.
In this respect farmers must improve their methods in our state.

"While at Armour's office at Chicago three years ago, the head
man a^ked me why it was that our College brought such a good
lot of sheep to the Fat Stock Show, and the floekmastera in our
state did not follow our example. He stated that more sheep
and lambs came to Chicago from "Wisconsin with their tails left
on them and more buck lamba which had not been castrated,
than from any other state in the Middle "West. He said, "Flock-
maaters ought to realize that they receive about fifty cents per
hundred pounds less for sheep and lambs that have their tails
left on them. For lambs that are not castrated or doeked they
get from $1.00 to $1.50 less per hundred pounds." I told him
that we at the Agricultural College had urged floekmasters for
many years to perform these operations, but unfortunately we
could not te&oh many farmers. Therefore, I would like to ask
the institute workers who talk on sheep in all comers of our
stat« to impress on the farmers the fact that they are losing
money by neglecting docking and castrating.

The nest step adding to highest profit is to commence to feed
the lambs well just as soon as they begin to eat, which is at the
age of about two weeks. A lamb crib put up at one end of
the bam where the little fellows can get some extra grain and a
little nice, fine clover or alfalfa hay, adds to profit in a large
measure. This extra grain feeding, if kept up, that is, if the
lamb crib is moved with the lambs out in the pasture, has its
advantages. Lambs so fed are in much better condition than
others and grow heavier at an early age, so that they may be
sold in June and July, when lambs are usually scarce on the
market and sell for high prices. Even if lambs are held over
for fall or winter feeding, it has been found by experiments at
our College that those lambs fed extra grain from an early age,
made more and cheaper gains when put in the Feed Lot in the
fall, than others of the same lot not receiving any grain. It .

was also learned that the extra small amount of grain fed more
than doubly repaid its cost.

Another point in securing highest profits is to have a piece
of rape, sown May 1 to 15, so that it is about ready for feeding
the time lambs are weaned and can be turned onto it. This
rape, if time permits, can be sown in drills, making it possible
to grow more of it on an acre than when sown broadcast. When
sown in this way, lambs will not waste much by tramping it
'down, and it can be cultivated to keep the weeds out. I cgn-

390 . Annual Report op the

not speak highly enough of the value of the rape plant for lamb
and sheep feeding.

If lambs are intended for fall or early winter market, another
piece of rape can be sown not later than July 1, which should
be ready for them to be turned onto when the first piece is fed
off. In an experiment conducted at our College, rape pasture
took the place of a pound of grain for each lamb daily, in com-
parison with another lot on grass pasture with one pound of
grain daily and no rape. In other words, one pound of grain
was saved by each lamb daily, and the lambs on rape made just
as much gain as the other lambs that received one pound of
grain.

It was further learned, when finishing both lots off in early
winter, that the lambs that had received rape before winter
feeding, did considerably bett«r than the other lot not receiving
rape before being put into the Feed Lot. Flockmasters who
are acquainted with the value of rape, sow it with small grain
or corn to pasture it off after the grain is harvested. I am
unable to say just what there is in the rape plant that gives
it its great value for lamb and sheep feeding. This would re-
quire a chemical analysis, but from experiments and personal
observation I know that it is a very cheap feed, easily grown,
and a great promoter of growth and mutton production.

Now we come to feeding in winter, or the Feed Lot problems.
If we want to feed in the most profitable way, we should con-
sider which varieties of grain are cheapest to use, as variations
in prices of grain in many eases either increase the profit in
feeding or lessen it. As an illustration, I will refer to an ex-
periment conducted several years ago at this College. In this
instance two lots of lambs were fed, one receiving shelled corn,
and the other lot dried beet pulp. The price of corn at that
time was $20 per ton and the price of beet pulp $16 per ton.
When we got through with the experiment we found that the
lambs fed on beet pulp made alwut aj much gain as those fed
on the com, "With a large number of lambs or sheep fed on
these two different raticns, a saving of $i per ton would make
quite an extra profit, in favor of the beet pulp.

Now who is the man who Can actually feed sheep to obtain the
highest profit. Is it the careless, shiftless fellow, who does not
take pride in his work, and does the feeding only in order to
earn his day's or month's wages* Is it the fellow who does

Wisconsin State &oak> of Agriculture. 391

not possess good common judgment and wastes feed Or is
it the fellow who feeds the sheep in his eare good and full at
one meal and not enough at the next meal, which results in what
is termed "getting them off -feed," and often causes scouring,
when sheep will lose in two or three days as much in light weight
as they will put on again in the next two weeks? Certainly
men of this type will not and cannot feed sheep for highest
profit. Not every man will make a good, profitable and eco-
nomical sheep feeder,

A feeder of sheep must have learned to practice cleanliness,
as sheep, perhaps, are a little more particular as regards
cleanliness in their feed than some other classes of live stock.
He must keep the feed troughs clean and sweet and see to it
that the hay and other roughage is clean and bright, and that
the grain has not been scratched over many times by the chickens
and soiled with their droppings.

Above all other things, to feed profitably, the feeder must be
a person who practices gentlenesi when going to the sheep fold.
Sheep like kind treatment, and repay it in a high degree.
Punctuality is another factor which leads to highest profit.
Hours of feeding should be strictly observed ; not to feed early
one morning and late the next. The good feeder watches every
animal in the flock closely, studies their appetites, and when an
increase of feed is made, it should be made very gradually, so
that the sheep do not even know when the increase takes place.

"While this is mostly meant for sheep and Iambs fed for mar-
ket, where heavy grain feeding is done, I wish to mention that
in warm weather a feeder must use great care not to feed them
as heavy on grain as he does in cool or cold weather. Sheep do
not want as much grain in warm as in cold weather, and if the
same amount is fed, it would upset the whole work and result
in loss of profit. Sheep naturally make their best gains in cold
weather. . ; , i j

A careful feeder will always see that his flock is kept free
from internal parasites, and ticks or lice. Wherever these
enemies are present in a flock, no profitable feeding can he ex-
pected. Shelter also adds greatly to the welfare of sheep in
severe weather.

In conclusion I will say that good results of feeding depend
largely on the judgment, management and ability of the feeder
himself. If he is careful and watches every detail of bis work

Dyil ..do., Google

392 Annual Report op -fiifi

closely and puts in a few minutes extra time after his regular
working hours are over, studying his flock and their progress,
high profit is almost sure to follow. The watchful eye of the
master is what brings good results.

DISCUSSION.

Preat. McKerrow: No wonder this man rai-es gocd wetliers,
he certainly gave us a good paper. Now, for your questions.
You will notice he did not give away any of his secrets.

A Member : Do you ever get- sheep too fat for market, Jlr.
Kleinheinz t

Mr. Kleinheinz: Yea, we have; we can get them too fat.
This is not by feeding for the market at Chicago or St. Paul,
or any other market when I speak of getting them too fat,
but it makes them worthless in some instances for breeding if
they are possessing too much soft fat which is no profit to the
breeder.

Prest. McKerrow : Is it a profit to the feeder? In other
wiords, is the excess of fat put on cheaply 1

Mr. Kleinheinz: No, it is very costly.

Prest. McKerrow : It is both expensive and useless, then *

Mr, Kleinheinz: Yes.

Mr. Imrie: The Professor spoke of sowing some rape along
about the first of July. How wlooild it do to sow it say in the
last cultivation of com?

Mr. Kleinheinz : This is done by a good many farmers. We
have never done it here at the college; we always sow our rape
separately, and we like to sow it in drills. If time will permit
it is better to sow it in drills, because if you sow it broadcast,
the weeds come up as fast as the rape, while if you sow it in
drills you take a horse cultivator and go through it twice or
three times, it loosens up the ground and furthers the growth.
We have tried it both ways and we have learned that we can
grow about three tons more to the acre if it 's in drills. An-
other thing, when it is sowed in drills, the sheep can go between
the rows and eat both sides and not tramp down so much. But
a good many tike to sow it in the corn and with small grain
so they have a chance to put it in with the last cultivation.

IZ.J., Google

Wisconsin State Board op Aqbicultube. 393

Supt. McKerrow: Sow it ten or twelve days later, so the
rape won't get too far ahead.

Somebody asks what is the dififerenee in the constituents be-
tween com and beet pulp for feeding sheep.

Mr. Kleinheinz: I haven't followed that up. When this
beet pulp came to the sheep bam I said to Prof. Humphrey
there can't be anything in this beet pulp, it is dry stuff. He
says, "We have fed it to dairy cows and it raises the produc-
tion and we want to try it here." I had no confidence in it,
but I said, "We will try it."

Prest. MeKerrow: You didn't know it all then?

Mr. Kleinheinz : No, I told you nobody knows everything.
We fed these lambs about two or three weeks, one lot on corn
and the others on beet pulp, and when we got to the end of
that six weeks, I judged from the results that there was some-
thing in that beet pulp that was very valuable, there was a
saving of $4.00 a ton. I don't know what the chemical analy-
sis is of that, I didn't follow it up.

Prest. McKerrow : Was there molasses in this, or was it just
dry beet pulp *

Mr. Kleinheinz: No, no molasses; dried without molasses.

Mr. Convey: Did you notice any diflEerence in the ccndi-
tion of the sheep, the two classes, that fed on these two feeds?

Mr. Kleinheinz : It looked always to me as though the sheep
that had the com meal looked a little bit more thrifty. The
gain on both sides was practically the same.

A Member : With what kind of drill do you sow these rape
seeds?

Mr. Kleinheinz: One of those little hand drills.

Prest. McKerrow: A Planet-Junior hand drill.

Mr. Kleinheinz: Tou have to push it, of course. Ton get
up early in the morning and push it.

A Member: What is the best method to pursue with para-
sites, ticks and these little lice, I mean outside parasites?

Mr. Kleinheinz : Dip, whenever you find it prc-cnt in the
flock.

Mr. Roberts: If you find them present this t'nie of year,
would you try dipping them?

Mr. Kleinheinz: No, I would rather put them in a warai
place if I possibly could, and shear them. When the wool wag

Dyil ..do., Google

394 Annual Report of the

off, they would dry off very quickly then, but with the wool
on they would catch cold and have pneumonia.

Mr. Roberts: Would you be in favor of shearing breeding
ewes this time of year?

Mr. Kleinheinz; No, I don't like to do that with breeding
ewes. It can be done, some breeders are shearing them before
they have their lambs, but I don't like to do it; we have got
to be very careful.

Mr. Roberts: If the sheep are dipped in the spring after
shearing, or in the fall, it wouldn't be necessary to do it in
the winter, would it?

Mr. Kleinheinz : That is correct. If they were dipped in
the fall when the weatherwas warm they wouldn't be lousy in
cold weather.

Mr. Webster: Has anybody got any arrangement to put on
a com cultivator to sow rape going tiirough the last time of
cultivating to save doing it by handT

Prcst. McKerrow : Is there any seed attachment to the com
cultivator to sow rape? I know of none.

Mr. Webster: We have taken an old pail and driven a nail
or two through the bottom and connected it with a feeder. We
have one on each side, that throws out two streams and makes
two rows practically.

Mr. Imrie : We took a box and attached it to the cultivator.
It has an arrangement that looks like a piece of hip iron, and
I put a lever on that, so you could move it by hand, and I put
it in front of the cultivator and pushed that lever back and
forth and it works all right. We sow quite a little rape in our
com in the last cultivation for the hog* and it would have been
all right if "the corn had been properly cultivated, but it is
just after the 4th, usually about the time you get through cul-
tivating and your ground is clean and with the average amount
of rainfall, you get a good stand of rape. It depends greatly
of course on the dryness of the weather, but generally if the
ground is rich it makes lots of feed for the hogs and we feed
sheep in the same way.

Prest. McKerrow: I was a little sorry that the Professor
made the statement about cutting off the weeds, that was a
little reflection on our farmers down here.

A Member: Up our way the rape is rank enough to choke
the weeds.

Dyil ..do., Google

Wisconsin State Boabd op Aqmcultubb. 395

Mr. KleiiLheiDz : Mr. President, I wish to state that while
we try to keep our land as clean as possible, that we got rape
seed that was about hall weeds. We sowed it broadcast and
all sorts of things came up, everything, weeds grew faster than
the oUier stuff and we found that there were more weeds than
there was rape when the plants came out of the ground.

Preat McKerrow: The advice I would give would be, don't
sow rape seed with so much weed seed in it.

Mr. Boberta; Where a cornfield has been harrowed and
then tiioroughly cultivated, during the cultivation a lot of
weed seeds in the soil have been germinated, and then kiUed.
After that is done, then sow rape and I fail to see why there
should be any trouble with weeds coming up; they have almost
been destroyed.

Mr. Scribner: Tou are a better farmer than most of us.
We can't get aU of ours killed.

Mr. Convey: With the Professor's statement that he gets
three tons more to the acre, that is sufficient to justify drilling.
. It is as handy to use a hand-drill in the com rows as anywhere
else and the proper place to sow would be in the middle in that
case, so it would be just as handy to work in the com crop ^
anywhere else.

Mr, Roberts : It would take sonie time to drill a large corn-
field with rape.

Mr. Convey: Tou wouldn't need to drill a large cornfield.

Prest. McKerrow: Let me say that you can grow rape
broadcast alone quite successfully by plowing your land at
least three weeks before you want to sow that rape. Cultivate
it three times thoroughfy and in any ordinary season the weed
seeds will be well sprouted and you destroy the great bulk ot
them and then your rape will grow rank enough to smother
the rest, providing you have no weed seed in the rape seed.
Some of us who do not only grow one acre, but five and ten and
fifteen, probably find it a little troublesome on account of the
weed question. On our farm in Waukesha county we have
had some great crops, sowing later. I will admit it would be
better to cultivate, but in these days of high prices some of us
have to sow it broadcast yet, but our idea is, like the Professor,
to do the best we can. He didn't say you all had to sow it in
idrills, but that is the best way and it is three tons eirtra to the
acre if you can do it that way. Anyhow, grow it.

A Member: Did you have any trouble getting a stand in
growing in your corn field?

Prest, McKerrow : "We never bad any trouble getting a stand,
but where there is a big growth of corn, it doesn't grow so fast.

A Member: I have never got a stand that was worth the
time of putting it in because the corn made such a big stand.
I know men in our country that had poor crops of corn, where
they grew rape with it. We plow our ground and we sow
right then and we get a good crop and then we plow up the
next spring and put it in corn, or eke plcw up a piece of
clover and put it there, but I never have got a good crop by
Bowing in the com, because the corn always grows so heavy.

Mr. Kleinheinz: I would like to be thoroughly understood
as saying as I said in this paper, not that you should sow rape
in drills anyhow, but only if time permits.

Mr. Everett: Do you feed any ensilage to sheep T

Mr. Kleinheinz: We do.

Mr. Everett: How many pounds and what do you consider
the best kind?

Mr. Kleinheinz: It depends on what kind of sheep you are
feeding.

Mr. Everett: Breeding ewes.

Mr. Kleinheinz : I will not feed any more than two pounds
a day to a breeding ewe, after lambing time they can eat more,
but not before lambing. Too much succulent feed, as we term
silage, produces soft, flabby, weak lambs.

Prest. McKerrow : Our experience is that two pounds of
ensilage is enough to feed any breeding ewes. I think that
there have been some of our large ewes, ewes that went 200
pounds, or thereabouts, that got a little more than two pounds
of pea vine ensilage, only the vines, with the peas taken out.
They are nitrogenous feed and we are glv"ng them a little more
than we would of com ensilage, beeauTe there is no grain, but
I think the Professor strikes it about right when he says two
pounds.

Mr. Roberts: And two and a half to three pounds after
lambing?

Mr. Kleinheinz; Yes.

Prest. McKerrow : You all know that one of the largest and
wealthiest breeding associations in the world, as well as one of

THE OUTLOOK FOR BEEF PRODUCTION.

B. 0. Cowan, Chicago, III

Gentlemen of the "Wisconsin Live Stock Breeders' Association:

To an audience of farmers and live stock breeders any intelu-
gent discussion of the beef history of our country should com-
mand attention, but at a time when all meat products are ab-
normally high, and spasmodic and in many cases irrational •
efforts are being made to reduce prices, the discussion of this
question has an added interest. "While we have vegetarians, it
is undoubtedly true that meat is the priiieii>al and most costly
article in the diet of mankind, and of this meat supply beef
comprises a very important part. The advocates of vegetable
diet will hardly admit that it is a case of cause and effect, yei
it is never-the-less true that the meat eaters of the world are
the people who have done most for its civilization and advance-
ment. According to a recent report of the Secretary of Agri-
culture, James Wilson, the people of the United States consume
more meat per capita than those of any other country except
Australia and New Zealand. The annual per capita consump-
tion of meat in the United States is 185.8 pounds as against 121
pounds in the United Kingdom; 115.94 in the German Empire,
and 78 in Prance. Australia heads the list with an averse of
262 pounds. This consumption is no doubt influenced some-
what by local conditions, such as the abundance or scarcity of
meat, and the prosperity or poverty of the people. It would
be interesting if we had statistics concerning this per capita eon-
sumption by decades for 50 or 100 years in order to determine
whether it is increasing or decreasing. That the number of
cattle in the United States has decreased during recent years
is generally admitted. This is the result in part, at least, from
the curtailment of the range cattle industry by the encroaeh-

Dyil ..do., Google

398 Annual Report of the

ment of settlers wanting homes, and by the enforcement of the
law against fencing government lands. According to the re-
port of Secretary Wilson there were 2, 186,000 less cattle in
the United States, January 1st, 1909, than we had January 1st,
1907, while our population haj shown a very substantial in-
crease. In consequence the proportion of beef per capita is
becoming less each year. In 1840 the proportion of cattle in
the U. S. to its population was such that we had .88 of an ani-
mal to each inhabitant; .81 in I860; .79 in 1880, and .69 in 1900.
With a continual and rapid increase in our population, and a
steady decr^se in the number of eattle, the deficiency in our
beef supply will become more apparent, and if this ratio contin-
ues for a few decades the United States may cease to be a beef
exporting nation. During the past decades cattle and beef prod-
ucts have constituted a considerable part of our exports, averag-
ing 32,000,000 pounds from 1851-5, and reaching its highest
point in 1906 when we sent abroad 733,000,000 lbs. ; while in 1909
we exported only 419,000,000 lbs., a loss of more than 40%. Our
exports of pork and pork products made an annual average of
91,000,000 lbs. from 1851-5, and rapidly increased until Us max-
imum was reached in 1896-1900 with an average of 1,462,000-
000 lbs. ; and in 1909 this had fallen to 1,053,000,000 lbs. In
1906 our total exports of beef and pork products combined
reached the stupendous aggregate of 2,198,000,000 lbs. ; while in
1909 it was only 1,472,000,000 lbs., a loss of 337o in 3 years. In
1904 we exported 593,000 live cattle, and in 1909 but 208,000.
The countries which have the greatest surplus of meat products
are the United State.?, Argentine, Oanada, Australia and New
Zealand ; and until recently the United States had the larger part
of the export trade. But we now realize we have a formidable
rival in Argentina, particularly in our beef exports to Great
Britain. In 1898 the United Kingdom bought from the United
States 257,819,000 lbs. of fresh beef, and 12,128,000 lbs. from
Argentina; in 1899, 308,000,000 lbs. from the United States, and
16,000,000 lbs. from Argentina; while in 1909 she bought but
160,000,000 lbs. from us, and 400,000,000 lbs. from our South
American competitor. This is a phenomenal increase and in-
dicates that the Argentine Republic may deprive us of our best
customer for our surplus beef products.

Coincident with this annual decrease of from one to two mil-
lion cattle in the United States, there has also been a marked

Dy,l..do.,CoOglC

■Wisconsin State Board op Aqbicultuek. 399

decrease in the number slaughtered for home consumption and

for foreign commerce. According to figures furni^ed by the
Bureau of Animal Industry in 1907, 7,62'l,717 cattle and
1,763,574 calves were slaughtered ; while for the year 1909 there
were 7,230,272 cattle and 2,046,713 calves slaughtered, showing
a decrease of nearly 500,000 cattle, and an increase of 323,000
calves. The increase in the number of ealves slaughtered really
indicates a more decided decrease in future cattle supply than is
at first apparent, since a strong decrease in calves or young
breeding cattle means a reduction in the future beef supply.

Mr. Cowan: I want to ^ay that I have studied these figures
very carefully, and I think men who know something about the
cost of handling meats in the retail butcher shop are prepared to
say that the butcher is not robbing people if he adds anywhere
from 17 to 25 per cent above the wholesale cost, to pay him for
his trouble, for his expense, for his investment, but when a re-
tailer adds anything beyond that and when he goes up to from
40 to 68 per cent increase for the handling of the meat, he is
exacting an unusual profit and he is teally robbing the con-
sumer.

This is a question, of course, that is agitating the people very
seriously in all our cities and a good many of the smaller towns
all over the country, and the general opinion seems to be on the
part of the consumer that it is the producer, it is the farmer, it
is the man who is feeding these cattle that is reaping this tre-
mendous profit out of the meats. In that they are greatly mis-
taken. I know that some feeders of cattle, during the last year,
have been fortunate in buying cattle at low prices and selling
them at a tremendously high price and have realized a very,
v-ery handsome profit, but when you stop to consider that the
bulk of this meat has been produced with corn at 50 to 60
cents a bushel, you will at once admit that the farmer has not,
except in isolated cases, received any more than a fair profit
on his investment. Now, a particular instance from the
Breeders' Special, published in Kansas city; I saw the other day
a statement of a case that I think will serve in the main to il-
lustrate this point. I have not the paper to give exact figures.

An extensive feeder in the State of Kansas bought in Kansas
City 60 feeders and shipped them down to his farm, giving the
exact price that the steers cost him in Kansas City, the exact
amount of freight and then giving the number of bushels of com

Dyil ..do., Google

400 Annual Eepoet op the

that he fed these cattle, the com costing him 60 cents a bushel,
and giving the amount of hay that they consumed during the
time. After they were ready for market, he sent them back to
Kansas City and sold them to a packer for $6.40 a hundred,
and the total profit on the transaction to the feeder was $195
on 60 head of cattle, a little over $3.00 a head, or a gross profit
of about 3 per cent. Now then, the article followed those
cattle. The wholesaler sold those cattle to butchers and the
packer realized a profit of $6.42 per head on the cattle, or about
7 or 8 per cent as his profit, which is not unreasonable, not any
more than the man should have had in that kind of a transac-
tion. The cattle were followed to the retail butcher, and at the
prevailing prices they were sold by the butcher at a profit of
$30 a head per steer. Now then, the people in cities and towns
do not realize it, they think that the farmer is the man that is
robbing them, the fellow that is feeding these cattle is the man
that is getting this tremendous profit. We will admit there is
a profit somewhere and we realize too that the packer and the
retail butcher are not in business for their health or for mere
play, they are entitled to a profit and entitled to a fair profit.
But it is a mistaken idea to charge this tremendous profit up
to the men who are producing these eattle and the only result
now of this crusade against high prices of meats will be the
temporary reduction, of the price of meat, and that temporary
reduction will fall ultimately upon the men who pro-
duce the cattle. If the packer is forced to take less for
the carcasses he sells to the retailer, he simply goes into the
market and buys his cattle at 25 or 50 cents or 75 cents or a
dollar cheaper than he was buying them before, so in the end
the farmer, the producer, is the man that is going to suffer a
loss 1^ these decreases in the price of meats.

Partly as a result of a decreased supply of cattle, but chiefly
because of the high price of com for the last three years, beef
and all meats have become abnormally high, and the beef grower
and feeder is gettii^ a merited reward. The increase in the
value of fat cattle in our market centers during the last year
was phenomenal, amounting in most instances from 40 to 50%,
putting the retail price of beef beyond the ability of the poor
to buy it and making it almost a luxury to well-to-do people of
our towns and cities. How much the retail price of meats has
been advanced by packers and dealers beyond a reasonable

profit, I am not prepared to say; but with sheep, hogs and cattle
BelliiLg at from $5 to$9.20 per 100 lbs. live weight, meat on the
block will be costly even if only a fair profit is exacted for the
handling. The Department of Agriculture instituted an in-
quiry to determine the per cent added by the retail dealer to
the wholesale price of meaite. This information was gathered
from 50 towns and cities, and the result of these inquiries
showed the retail price to be from 17 to 68 per cent greater than
the wholesale price; and the greater increase for the cheaper
cuts than for the better ones, thus putting the greater burden
on the people who can least afford to bear it. These high prices
for all food products have at last brought a condition never
before known in this country— a boycott of meats, eggs and
butter by large masses of people in many cities. These move-
ments have been spasmodic, aud in some instances have been
accompanied by such extravagant and unreasonable statements
as to amount to a mild form of hysteria. The causes assigned
for these high prices have been varied and some of them amus-
ing. All kinds of trusts, from the "Beef Trust" to the "Farm-
ers' Trust" have been suggested as the cause; also the tariflE on
meats and the overproduction of gold. As a proposed remedy
Judges of Courts, Mayors of cities and General Atsemblies of
States and Congress have started investigation.-, and what the
final result will be can not be forseen ; but the immediate ef-
fect has been what all well informed stockmen saw it would be,
namely, a reduction in the price of meats, but a greater re-
duction in the prices paid for cattle and hogs at our market
centers ; so the producers will have to bear the loss.

In the discussion of this question the chief causes of the high
price of meats are often entirely cverlcoked, namely, the high
price of grain and shortage of fat stock. If either wholesale or
retail dealers form unlawful combinations' to put fictious values
on food products and so exact extravagant profits, they should
be investigated and punished ; but such investigations in the
past have resulted in a t«mporary paralysis of our markets and
a tremendous loss to live stock producers, with no permanent
benefit to the consumer. I would net be understood as con-
doning the conduct of any who may conspire to rob the people
by an unreasonable or unlawful combination, but in the pro-
posed investigation there is greater chance of loss to the pro-
ducer than of permanent relief to the consumer. To the pro-

ducer of live stock, who is preparing it for market on high-priced
grain, the situation is somewhat serious. It is to be hoped
there will be no serious depression in prices at our live stock
markets and that normal trade conditions will soon return.

During the last 15 years there have been times when men who
have been rearing and feeding beef cattle received very small
compensation for their investment and labor, but at other times
the reward has been ample. At pres^ent the outlook for beef
production is bright. With a rapidly increasing population
.and a decreasing supply of eattle, there is certainly encourage-
ment for men breeding beef cattle. Under former conditions
of cheap grain, cattle feeders were accustomed to use com ex-
clusively in making beef, but under the restricted area of corn
production, and the constantly increasing demand for it, the
days of cheap corn seem to have passed ; hence it may be neces-
sary in future for stockmen to reduce the cost of beef produc-
tion by feeding more alfalfa, ensilage and roots, and less high-
priced corn. Under normal prices for hay, roots and grain,
the feeder who received 5 to 6 cents per pound for his fat steers
made a fair profit ; and during the last 12 months prices in many
instances have given a handsome return for the investment and
labor. During last October one entire train load of fat steers
sold at $9.20 per 100 Its. and brought the feeder $168. Some
shipments of yearling steers brought from $85 to $100 per head,
and at this price breeders of pure-bred beef cattle could well
afford to steer many of their bull calves. These are unusual
prices it is true and can be looked for only during times of de-
creased grain production and consequent high prices for meat
producing feed. But there is good reason for believing that for
some years to come meats will command good prices, sufficient
to give fair return to the raisers and feeders of good cattle.
Well bred steers that can be put on the market at 20 to 24
months old, weighing from 1150 to 1350 and selling at 5 to 6
cents per lb. will certainly return a good profit. In this esti-
mate I have tried to be conservative both as to weight of steers
and the probable price realized. It seems to me therefor that
farmers of Wisconsin have reasonable ehcouragement to con-
tinue to raise and feed a good class of beef cattle.

I am aware that "Wisconsin is a great dairy State, and it is
quite likely that in the unusual effort that has been made to
develop the dairy industry of the State, its beef cattle may

have been somewhat neglected. From your State statistical re-
ports I find the State has 1,250,281 dairy cattle and 762,944
beef cattle, or "All other cattle," as given in the 1909 report of
your State Board of Agriculture. I am not sure that these
figures really give aeeurate number of either dairy or beef
cattle, as the class of milli cows may inelude cows of the beef
breeds and steere and calves of dairy breeds may be included
in the columns "All other cattle." There is no doubt that dairy-
ing has brought prosperity to a lar^e class of the citizens of
your State and wealth to many, but it does not follow that all
engaged in it have been successful, nor does it follow that it
would support all the farmers of your State, if all should turn
their attention to that industry. It is better that the industries
of a commonwealth should be diversified. So for the farmer
who does not want to engage in dairying because he does not
like to milk, or for any other reason, the rearing and fitting
of good, well-bred beef cattle should be a desirable and profit-
able Business when pursued with intelligence and energy. Hence,
the men who have good herds of beef cattle, either pure-bred
or high grades, have strong encouragement to continue to re-
produce and improve them. By careful selection, herds can be
built up that are excellent in their beef form and fieshing quali-
ties, and still be fair milkers ; the cows capable of raising strong,
lusty calves, or for furnishing the family with milk and butter.
The calves, if they are pure-breds, cau be sold for breeders, or
castrated and fed for market, while the grade calves become
candidates when nicely fatted, for baby beef, which usually
brings remunerative prices. With the wonderful growth of
our urban population in late years, and the strong tendency to
drift to the cities and towns, there is excellent reason for young
men remaining on the farms, and for no class of farmers and
stockmen is there a brighter outlook than for those who are pro-
ducing a good class of beef cattle. The rearing of live stocE
is essential to conserving the fertility of the soil, and in agricul-
tural life it should be the aim of every young farmer to be-
queath to posterity richer lands and better live stock than those
with which he began his experience in farm life.

From the many excellent, foreful things said by Ex-President
Theo. Roosevelt concerning farm life, I have selected one that
is worthy of repetition and emphasis on such occasions as this, viz :
"If there is one lesson taught by history it is that the permanent

greatness of any State must ultimately depend upon the char-
acter of its country population more than any thing else. No
growth of cities, no wealth can make up for a loss in the number
or character of its country population." In maintaining this
bulwark of national safety and prosperity, the live stock breeder
is an important and influential factor in agricultural life.

DISCUSSION.

Mr. Imrie: Mr, Cowan gave u.s the profits made by the
retail butcher. Now, being in butcher shops throughout the
country buying meat a little, we notice that a great many
people in buying, buy very small iiinount« at a time, they buy
a pound of beef steak, pound and a half of beef steak, and they
expect this to be delivered four or five blocks away, and they
must have it there at a special time for dinner.

Mr. Cowan : Yes, and sometimes as many miles.

Mr. Imrie: Isn't it a fact that retailers must have quite a
profit to carry on this business, and still make a living T

Mr. Cowan : I think that is true, and I stated that a per
cent of increase even up to 30 per cent ought not to be' con-
sidered as extravagant for the retailer, bnt when he is exacting
from 40 to 68 per cent, he is robbing hi.s customers.

The point that the gentleman makes is very well taken. I
live in a city and I know something about the habits of the
people. I know that there are butchers there who sell 25 or
30 cents worth of meat and have to deliver it three or four miles
from the butcher shop. It is ordered sometimes by telephone
and when it gets there if the madam of that apartment is very
particular, she will call up the butcher and tetl him that the
meat is not what she wanted, for him to come and take it back,
so he has got two trips on that 25 or 30 cents worth of meat.
Of course that is a consideration that the retailer has got to
take when he fixes his price. lie has got to have horses and
pay high prices for feeding those horses and got to have men
to drive them.

Mr. Jacobs: And sometimes another trip to collect the bill.

Mr. Cowan : I would not be questioned too closely on that,
because I buy my meats in the city.

Dyil ..do., Google

Wisconsin State Board op Agriculture. 405

Mr. Imrie: Another question about the cost of meat — I think
you said it was in Kansas City this matter was followed up.
There was a profit of a dollar and some odd cents to the far-
mer, now, was that clear profit, or was his labor included in
thisi ^ i: !i

Mr. Cowan : In that calculation he didn 't count hjs labor
anything.

Mr. Imrie : So he really made nothing out of it.

Mr. Cowan : He really made nothing out of it. He had
only a profit of $1.95 on the traoFaetion and it was distinctly
stated that he counted nothing for the labor of feeding the
cattle. ■ ' : ■

Mr. Imrie: He had the pleasure of living on the farm for
his lahor.

Mr. Cowan: Tes, he had that.

Mr. Convey: Don't you consider the whole systerft badV
I notice that in a multitude of cases that the stock is shipped
to Chicago and killed and dressed there and returned to tKe
local butchers and handled in that manner. We all know
Chicago meat is retailed very largely at country points.

Mr. Cowan: Yes, but that is a question that I don't suppose
we can change. "We have got our meat trade in the hands of
packers. They buy the meat and ship it into the country and
sell it to Iccal butchers, and it has been so for years, and I sup-
pose it would be difficult to change that condition of things.

Mr. Convey: Buti isn't it an unnecessary expenre, and arc
we not, as a nation, inclined to do business in that way?

Mr. Cowan: "Well, in answering that quest'on I will have to
admit that I have not looked into that closely enough to say
whether these packers can buy the meats in Chict^o and ship
the carcasses out to the country points and sell them for more
or for le:s than the retailer here can get them from the farmer.
I don't know, I have net looked into the cost of handling meats
in' a retail way.

Mr. Nordman : Would you consider it practical to raise steers
in a locality where the corn crop could not be matured?

Mr. Cowan : Well, yes, if you want to raise steers and sell
them as fat grass cattle. I know men who grow steers and
never feed them corn at all. They will keep them during the
winter when they are yonng and give them ensilage or com fod-
der, ot good clover hay, or alfalfa, or anythng to develop them

pretty well, and turn them out in the spring on good grass and
sell them in the fall as gra&s nattle. There is certainly a good
profit in that, at least I know a good many farmere who make
a very nice profit by selling their cattle ofli after the grass
rather than after com feeding.

Mr. Jacobs: I believe if we acknowledge the truth, that in
many sections of our state that the class of cattle that we have
fed and the way they are fed, if we are going to have any good
beef, we will have to ship it in, so we ought not to blame the
shippers for doing it.

Prest. MeKerrow : That is good as coming from a Jersey
breeder.

Mr. Cowan: I want to say that while I am not here in this
discussion to cast any reflections whatever on the dairy business
of your state, because it is necessary and profitable, and the men
who are engaged in it are all right, but as a business it is not
improving your meat supply, I can say that.

Recess to two o'clock.

The Convention met at 2 o'clock, p. m.

President MeKerrow in the chair.

Prest. MeKerrow : "Wisconsin feels rather proud of her dairy
industry, feels proud of her dairy cows and when we get to feel-
ing proud, we sonietime-s say, though it may be hard to prove,
that "Wisconsin has more high ela's dairy cows than any state in
the Union, and then we say to the people who are skeptical, if
you don 't believe this, go back tfl the records of the great Fairs,
the "World's Fair in 1893 and 1904, the exposition at Buffalo
and Omaha and Seattle, and the other great shows, and see if
you do not find that the records show that "Wisconsin has won
more prizes for her dairy cattle, in proportion to the number of
animals shown than has any other state in the Union.

One of the things that is putting Wisconsin to the front along
this line is cow testing, and we have many liberal people in Wis-
consin, but it remained for a man outside of "Wisconsin to shake
a thousand dollars in the face of the "Wisconsin cow breeders

general subject of ""What Gives Vs the Satisfactory Dairy
Cow," and the first sub-topic is "Her Breeding" and to 8pea.k
on that subject I have great pleasure in introducing to you this
gentlemen of whom I speak, Mr. W. W. Marsh of Waterloo,
Iowa.

Mr. Marsh : Mr. President and Gentlemen, — The development
of the dairy breeds and the building up of our dairy herds in the
Mississippi Valley means more to me in a broad sense than the
mere mating and coupling of individuals properly selected. To
my mind this question philosophically carried out will change
our farms from mere commercial institutions, in which we try
to make expenses, into homes in fact as well as in name, and Be-
fore I begin in my humble way a text book discussion of breed-
ing the dairy cow, permit me in a more comprehensive way to
give you a viewpoint as it appeals to me.

A few years ago I was riding through the state of Tennessee
where the train stopped at the county seat, the car door opened
and I recc^nized the gentleman who entered as Henry Ward
Beecher. Every berth was occupied and I offered to share my
seat with him. After he had learned my work, be said to me,
"Do you know, I have always considered the cow one of tEe
great agencies of modem civilization." He went on to show
how he had been through the Dakotas, through the great wheat
fields there, and he had noticed how few improvements they had
in that country. He said they came there and prepared the
ground in the spring and sowed their seed, and then came back
at harvest time, harvested and threshed the grain and went away
again, but he said, "If the man. who owned that land had
owned a single cow, he would have had to he there in the morn-
ing and at night to milk her, and it wouldn 't he long before he
would be getting himself a wife and it is around the natural and
developing homestead that the civilization of the present day
must be developed.

Since that morning I have had the pleasure of visiting every
country that is developing and breeding dairy cattle, that is
recognized as such, and I am prepared to say this, that no
people have developed a great breed of dairy cattle without
building up the home, making that part of their nature, and
one of their strong characteristics. Last summer I spent a
few weeks on a little island oif the coast of France and I
bought three heifers from one man and after I was through

Dy,l..do., Google

408 Annual Report op the

with my trade, I was struck by a very likely yearling, and T
said to him, ""What is your price on this yearling?" He said,
"I don't want to sell her." I said, "If you were going to sell
her, what would be the price!" He said, "There is no price."
I importuned him and still I couldn't get the man to even con-
sider selling the heifer.

We went into the house and on the wall there was an oil
painting of four cows. He pointed to the second cow in the
group, and he said, "That is the maternal ancestor of this
heifer that I don't want to Eell. In 1848 my grandfather
showed those four cows in England, that is sixty-four years
ago, and I have heard him tell how his father showed his cows
on the Island of Guernsey and we have always aimed to keep
that blood in our family."

We went out into the court and I noticed chiseled on the stone
wall the number "1640," and I said to him, "This is a very old
house?" He said, "Yes." I said, "Built in 1640?" He said,
"No, it is a much older house than that. We moved in here
in 1640."

I couldn't help but think, gentlemen, of the prairie township
in Iowa from which I came, and how men roamed from farm to
farm, and I thought back for thirty years as I could remember,
and do you know the thing was astonishing to me, the num-
ber of people who have lived on thoFe farms, who had owned
that land and who had moved away without any thought of its
possible value, either to themselves or to their children, or to their
children's children, and I could remember in my own experience
at least thirty-five or thirty people, the sons of the people or the
grandsons of the people who had owned that land in one of the
richest townships in one of the richest states in the world, and
they were working at their work with nothing except their
hands to keep them from privation, a-#l had dissipated the fort-
une that had been given to them by Go:l, and they had tumel
aside from that land without any real appreciation of its value.

To me the great question of building up this country is in-
volved in building up the dairy herds of the Mississippi Valley,
and I would not to day come over to you people in Wisconsin
and attempt to discuss this question if it was not a br:ader quei
tion than the mere technical discussion cf proper selection and
proper mating, *

WHAT GIVES US THE SATISFACTORY DAIRY COW—
"HER BREEDING."

W. W. Marsh, Waterloo, Iowa.

If you want to take the trouble to analyze the pedigrees of the
colts that are eutered in the Derby which is to be run next June
in England, you will find they trace not once, but many times,
in their ancestry to horses that have won the Derby in other
years. If you will take the trouble to look into the pedigrees
of the colts that are entered in the Kentucky Futurity, you will
find that in nearly every case, they trace not only onee but
several times to horses that have held world's records. So true
is it that the horses which win the races descend from horses
that have won races, that it has passed into the aphorism,
"Breed to the winners." We find a similar expression as the
basis for all improvement in the other aphorism that "Like be-
gets like," or as it was originally enjoined in the expression,
"Breed from the best."

Strange as it may appear, one of the great stumbling blocks
in the development of a breed is the lack of a clear and com-
prehensive idea of the attributes and characteristics which are
required and this is especially true in the development of dairy
cattle. We have seen in nearly every breed an effort made to
arrive at two distinct places; form that would win in the show
ring and persistence in the production which wou'.d be profit-
able in the pail. Just as soon as our ideas are clear cut and
definite, we will begin to make real progress. I believe that the
improvement of the dairy breeds of cattle in America has be-
gun in real earnest. I believe that the fact that everything will
be sacrificed in our work, to perpisteney in production, will lead
to the development of a breed of dairy cctt'c in the Jlissiiwippi
and Missouri Valleys, the like ot which has never been seen in
this world.

The basis with me for im]>roveiiieiit in my herd is well defined
in my own mind. The ideal pedigree for rae would be a sire
whose dam made more butterfat than any other cow, with a
grand dam who made more hutterfiit than any other cow except
her daughter and with a great gnuid dam who made more but-
terfat than any other cow except her daughter and her grand-

daughter. In other words, accumulated evidence of persistency
in production, as shown in the -pedigree, with the additional evi-
denee of power to transmit the object sought.

1 assume that with great producing ability will come the modi-
fied form best adapted to do the work. In other words, that
nature will design architecturally the'form calculated to elimi-
nate waste and that the power to assimilate the food necessary
for large production will come with that ability.

I think that there is accumulated evidence enough at this time
to make it necessary to sound a warning against a standard to
breed from which is of an indefinite nature. In other words, I
believe that at this time nothing is more dangerous to the breeder
who contemplates a herd with large producing capacity, than the
indefinite expression, "dairy form." Dcn't misunderstand me,
I am not talking against the cow of dairy form and in favor of
the cow of beef conformation. In two of the dairy breeds at
least, the substitution of show ring "form" for production has
worked great harm. Why should we talk of dairy form in this
day when we can talk of records which indicate producing capac-
ity? Why should we talk of dairy form at this time when one
judge in Iowa and another judge in Minnesota and another
judge in Wisconsin and another judge in Illinois reverse each
otier with system and regularity? Why should we substitute
a will-o-the-wisp of that character for a definite clean-cut posi-
tive knowledge of producing power which is contained in the
advanced registration records?

My object is not necessarily an attack on the show ring, hut
when winning in the show ring is made the object of your breed-
ing to the sacrifice of fhe necessary producing ability, then it
should be attacked by every man who has the welfare of the
breed that he stands for at heart. We all know that there are
certain men who have been very successful in the show ring
without a corresponding success in breeding animals that have
. made creditable records, and my thought at this time is not an
attack on the show ring in and of itself, except where the show
ring deters a man from the practical object toward which we are
now striving. The show ring has its place in our work for the
advancement of dairy breeds. It comes under the general pub-
licity plan of campaigning, however. So long as it is intended
and does impress the general public, it answers a useful purpose.
When, however, the show ring standard becomes the object of Uie*

breeder instead of the true evidence of a cow's greatness
which is her production as told in the pail and the teat, then
it does positive harm.

The malign influence of tlie show ring on the Ayrshire breed
in Scotland is graphically told by Professors Praser and Brand,
in their Bulletin No. 140, '"Dairy Suggestions from European
Conditions." I quote:

"There are two types of Ayrshires in Scotland; the: show
type and the producing type. The show type has been devel-
oped for the show ring, and bred for beauty alone. The gen-
uine show udder must be compact and closely attached, both
before and behind. The sole must be flat, with no indentions
between the teats, aJid the udder must not protrude behind, but
be carried up even with the thighs, and have small cylindrical
teats, evenly placed on the flat bottom. This is the only kind
of udder that can be showu many years in succession and not
become too pendant for the show ring. Any intelligent dairy-
man knows that this type of udder is fleshy and does not be-
long to the best producers. This craze for tight, close, shallow
udders started in the show ring about twenty-five years ago.
It has been of untold damage to the Ayrshire breed, and has
split the breeders into two factions,— one of which is breeding
for show and the other for production. The breeders who are
breeding for production belong to test associations and keep
accurate records of their cows. The latter cows have good ud-
ders that milk well away, and large soft teats that are easily
milked. One of the best authorities in Scotland upon the sub-
ject says: "The show ring has been a curse to the Ayrshire
breed. Ayrshires would be a different breed today had there
never been a show. The leading exhibitors of show Ayrshires
of the flat, fleshy udder type have not made money, even if they
have sold their stock at large prices, because they did not get
enough milk to bring up the profits. One of the leading ex-
hibition herds produced only half as much per cow as did
another herd bred for production alone. This shows the folly
of running to fads. You American dairymen are making a great
mistake in allowing showmen to be your importers, as they are
taking over only the show type. By this means you are losing,
to the American Ayrshire, the advantages of our record Ayr-
shires in the economy of milk production."

"As an illustration that show Ayrshires are not producers,

Dyil ..do., Google

412 Annual Report op the

the ring of aged eowa at the Royal Agricultural Show la^t year
is a good illustration. The eows placed at the lower end of the
show ring were at the head in the production class. They
stood SiS follows:

Inspection clara 1 , 2, 3, 4, 5,

Produetitin on yield of milk 5, 4, 1.

The cows receiving 2 and 'S in the int-'pei^tion class were not
shown in the prcduetion clais.

"Record Ayrshirea are gaining rapidly iu popularity in Scot-
land. At the Highland Show Ayrshire cows must produce, the
night and morning before the exhibition, 36 pounds of milk, or
they are not eligible to enter the show ring."

The degree of intelligence in the man who bases his prefer-
ence for an animal because of thow ring superiority as the show
ring asnow conducted in America, differs in degree but in degree
only, from the man who wrote about the Ilerefords as milkers in
a recent issue of one of the leading agricultural papers. He said :
"Not long ago a farmer came to my place to purchase a bull. The
first words were: 'The Herefords are poor for milk, are they
not?' I answered: "They are advertised so, but did you ever
milk a white-faced cow that was net a good one?" "Well,"
he answered, "I have now a white-faced cow that is the best
milk cow I ever owned." And he bought the bull.

This doe.^ seem like a joke, but reasoning of this character is
displacing special purpose bulls all over the Mississippi Valley
and is causing incalculable loss. It is in its nature like substi-
tuting the show ring for actual prcduetion. Every issue of
the average agricultural paper contains stuff not less grotesque
than the white-faced cow argument. In the same issue of the
paper to which I refer, I find written by a member of the
faculty of one of our agricultural colleges, deductions from a
table which he prints as to the power of transmitting hereditary
characteristics and he starts his article with the.e words: "A
number of years ago the writer was at Woodburn Farm locking
over the stud with the manager, Mr. Broadhead. I said to
him: 'Toif have had here for many years both Harold and
Miss Russell. "Why have you bred but one Maud S.*' 'Ah,'
he said, 'If you could tell me that you would clear up the greats
est mystery in breeding.' "

Now let me tell you about Maud S. and the deductions I
draw from her breeding. Maud S. did not have an ancestor

Dyfl ..do., Google

Wi!=ci)N!iiN State Board op Agriculture. 413

in her pedigree that had ever gbne a mile much better than
2 :40. The most that conid be said of Jfand S. ' ancestry was
that it was plastic blrod. She acquired the art of trotting
through a long and sysfematie period of training. Mand S. '
performanee however called attention to the fa^'t that the blood
was plastic and other individuals of the family which were
trained and accjuired the trotting habit transmitted the power
to trot with increased uniformity ; that is, they transmitted the
acquired habit and when acquired habit was bred to acquired
habit, it became a part of the nature of the animal and the uni-
formity with which it has been transmitted is one of the mar\'els
of the breeding world. It is one of the marvels in the his-tory
of breeding. While it was necessary for Maud S. to carry about
20 ounces in weight to properly balance her, the trotting horses
of today, many of them, are not carrying more weight than
just enough to protect thn foot and I believe that in the develop-
ment of a" dairy breed of cattle bared on performance; based on
records in the pail, much can be learned from the phenomenal
pr(^res3 made in the development of the American trotting
horse. Maud S. was aired by a horse that had no trotting rec-
ord. He was sired by a horre that was supposed to have gone
a mile in the neighborhood of 2:40. Maud S. ' dam had no
record and her sire had no record. "When the descendants of
Miss Russell, the dam of Maud S., were trained and acquired the
trotting habit and mated with others that also had been devel-
oped or had developed ancestry, greater uniformity of speect
in the offspring was shown. The greater the number of devel-
oped ance-stors in the pedigree, the more certainly did the trot-
ting characteristics appear.

I have no desire to criticise any breed of dairy cattle. I have
an interest in seeing them all develojied along lines to make them
useful in this great Mi,=sis5ippi Valley, We have the roughage
and the feed necessary to produce milk and butter in enormous
quantities at a very low cost and I hel'eve that there are four
great breeds of dairy cattle which can be used to very great ad-
vantage by our peopTe. No one who has visited the show rings,
which are in a way an educational feature and which of neces-
sity impress a great number of people, can have failed to note
the fact that the show ring type of cattle in the Jersey breed,
in a measure, taKes on the show ring type which has become
popular as such in Scotland amon^ the Ayrshires. In other

Dyil ..do., Google

fL4 Annual Repokt op tub

words, the working Jersey cow today, the animal necessary to
popularize that breed in the Mississippi Valley, if she is to be
popularized, is absent from the show ring. The fine, front
lawn, soubrette type of eow Eeems to me to have a call over the
working cow and to my mind the faet that this show ring
standard refined to such an extent, menaces the future of that
particular breed of cattle in our section of the country.

There is only one way to displace the false ideas as to what
constitutes a dairy eow and that is by emphasizing what records
mean in a cow's ancestry, what the record means as pertaining
to the individual cow herself. If there are twenty cows in the
show ring, all of them very large producers, which differ in their
form from the eow which has been constantly awarded the show
ring prizes, then the absurdity of placing the award on the non-
producer will become apparent. One of the things which has
made the Holstein and the Guernsey cow popular in the Mississ-
ippi Valley is the fact that she has been owned and developed by
real dairymen and I believe that the fact that the Jersey cow
has been largely shown by men who are frequently long range
dairymen has had much to do with the fact that the show ring
type varies essentially from the producer.

If I were to attempt to put in one sentence my idea on which

to found a successful breeding venture, I would say, "Records

in the pedigree." The larger the records, the more likely they

are to be transmitted, because the larger the record, the more it

^ indicates to my mind the characteristic of the individual.

Prof. Eckles' recent articles on the new'factors in influencing
the per cent of fat in milk will make it necessary for us to dis-
criminate as to records. In talking with Prof. Haecker of Ne-
braska the other day, he said to me : "I knew a cow that gave
16 pounds of fat in a week and less than 100 pounds of butter-
fat in a year. ' ' Prof. Eekles, in one of his articles on the per-
centage of butter-fat in milk production, referring to the trans-
fer of accumulated fat into the milk pail, says: "During the
30 days, 43 pounds of fat and 52 pounds of other solids were
produced in the milk. The average per cent of fat during the
30 days was 6.9 ; the normal test for this cow is slightly under
five per cent. "Within 48 hours after her feed was increased
at the end of the 30 days period the per cent of fat in the milk
declined about two per cent.

He adds "Another interesting question brought up by these

Dyil ..do., Google

Wisconsin State Board of Aqricultube. 415

'Experiments is its relation to the common method of carrying
oa short time tests cf dairy cattle. It has been the subject
of comment frequently by leading authorities that in recent
years much higher fat percentages are secured in short tests
than was formerly the ease. The possibility of increasing the
per cent of fat in milk for a period after calving by the means ,
mentioned (that is using the stored up fat in the eow) has ap-
parently been used by those who are the most suecessfu! in
m^ing these phenomenal short time te-ts. A cow that will
average 3.2 per cent of fat for the year, can with reasonable
certainty be made to tejt 4 per cent or even higher for a week
if properly handled. The way it is done is to fatten the cow
as much as possible before calving. Then after calving, the
animal is fed only moderately and the t«st is begun within four
or five days. Under these conditions the animal has insufficient
feed to support the enormous milk and fat production. Since
her body is loaded with fat, this fat is taken from the tis-
sues and a large amount of it secreted in the milks."

From Professors Eekles' and Haecker's statements, I con-
elude that in choosing our herds, we not only want large pro-
duction but we want in addition to that, persistency and ability
to carry the pace through the milking period.

After you have arranged the standard which you are work-
ing toward with your herd and are accumulating records which
add to its commercial value, the next eharacteristic which will
require yonr attention is the regularity with which the animal
prcdue&s. Fecundity in a cow is next to, if not first, in her
necessary qualificaticns. It will prove of very great loss to
you if your breeding operations are tied to a family of cows
which are hereditarily irregular as breeding animals'. That
certain families are prolific breeders while others are not is
shown in every herd register. The great families of all breed.s
have their foundation in numbers as well as in their great pro-
ducing qualificaticns.

Mr. Lewis P, Allen, formerly editor of the American Short
Horft Herd Book, says: "More herd book pedigrees run to
Young Mary than to any other half dozen cows on record."
She had fourteen daughters and one son. Hambeltonion 10
displaced all sires as the progenitor of the American trotting
horae, because of the twelve or thirteen hundred colts he sired
more than because of his innate ability to transmit trotting

speed. Again, amung the sons of Ilambeltotiion 10, the son
which transmitted the most extreme race horse speed d d uot
become the greatest cf his sonF, but rather a great son whose
sons and daughters were prolific in the number of sons and
daughters which they produced.

Every Poland China hog in America practically deiernds
from one hog or rather traces many times to one hog, and a
scrutiny of the family will show that his daughters were great
as mothers in the number of their offspring.

The books are filled with accounts of mothers w'ho are pro-
lific whose daughters inherited this characteristic.

The influence nf a great sire on a dairy herd in money value
will become more apparent as the records of production are
more universally and accurately kept. Eckles' report of the
bull at the Missouri Experiment Station whose daughters gave
an average of a hundred pounds of fat each more than their
mothers at the same age is worthy of your attention. This
would mean substantially thirty dollars, at present prices, more
earning power a year for the period of their usefulness. IT a
bull was used largely with the ability to thus increase the pro-
ducing qualities of his offspring, his value would be surpris-
ingly large. If the period of usefulness of the cow covered
six years, it would mean from $150 to $200 increase in value
on every heifer he sired. I have seen recorded sixty-tive heifer
calves from one bull in one year on the Island of Guernsey and
fifty from another.

Mr. Marsh (added): Now if it i.s settled that we are to
undertake to build up the dairy herds and the dairy breeds in
the Mississippi Valley, it is of special importance to these young
men whom I see here today.

I do not believe, young men, you can realize what we older
people have seen in this country without going into the figures
of the development of this industry in the state from which I
came, and the advancement of the value of the land.

Briefly, let me call your attention to one thing. In my lile-
time — and I am not the oldest man in this audience — I have
seen land sold in my state for $1.25 an acre. At $2.50 an acre
that would be an advance of 100 per cent. At $12 an asre it
is an advancement of 1000 per cent. At $125 an acre it is an
advancement of 10,000 per cent. And still they want to know
ivhaf is the reason of the cost of high living in this country.

I want to say, young men, that the real and crucial test 9S to
what constitutes a farmer, has never been applied to a man
in the Jlississippi Valley up to this time. Cheap land, fertile
land, bountiful nature, has done everything for us, and the
test is to be put to you who are coining. It has not been put
to my friend to my right, or friends I tee in tho audience of
my owu age. You are to make the fight, you are to solve the
question ; it has not been solved by the men who are before
you to-day, taking the larger part in this discussion, and it won't
be, and I want to say to you that there is before ycu an oppor-
tunity, grand and great, a vat;ter opportunity than has come to
my generation. I can see before me some young men who will
do with the IIolste;n cow, the Guernsey or the Jersey, in the
Mississippi Valley what Bat^s did for the Shorthorn in Eng-
land. It is a worthy ambition for any one of you to undertake
to build up an animal which as a nmchine will use economical
feed and the roughage which we have in this Mississippi Valley,
and make milk cheaper than any other animal can produce it,
and I say to you when you go back to the farm, remember juzz
one th'ng, that the nobility of character, the independent man-
hood that comes from landownership and life on the soil is al-
together preferable to that life, gay as it may appear from a
superficial view, whieh is fuught out in the city.

I would not be here to-day if I did not have it on my heart
and thoroughly believe that if this country is to be preserved,
if our best institutions are to be maintained, they will not be
preserved and maintained by these accumulated millions in the
large cities without a single thing between them and starvation
but a single day's work.

If these things are carried en, they will be carried on by the
men on the small faniis in the Blississippi Valley ; it will be for
them to preserve the institutions which our fathers gained. I
thank you.

DISCUSSION.

Prest. JIcKerrow: Mr. Marsh has opened up a broad field
of thought for us all, particularly these young men. Has no one
any quesion ? I think he must have said it all.

Mr. Scribner: They are all converted.

Mr. Convey: I would like to aik Mr. Marsh a questionj^ -In ,,, |,,

those cow tests that stc made, do you consider the test of very
much importance from a cattle standpoint unless the amount
of feed that wa^ used is taken into consideration? In other
words, would you expect a machine weighing 1200 pounds, in
fhe shape of a dairy eow, to be an advanta^ over an anima*
weighing 800 or 1,000 pounds?

Mr. Marsh: I think the gentleman's question is a question
which would propound itself to a man who is a breeder of
pure bred cattle, but it is not the question to-day in tSe
Mississippi or the JIi££ouri Valley. All over this valley we
have herds of cows not making over 150 pounds of butter a
year. The great quest'on to-day is to take these herds and
eliminate all cowa having those records and these phenomenal
records all over the country, these animals producing seven,
■ eight, nine hundred pounds cf butter a year are being discussed
by the people, and that is a good thing. It was impossible in our
part of the country to get farmers to have their eows testeu
at all ; the tester, two years afro, was unknown. Since we have
had this cow testing proposition, we have been able to bring
home to thofe farmers this truth that many a man is dairying
to tremendous disadvantage. It would have ccst hundreds oi
thousands of dollars to take the spac'e for advertising commer-
cially, that Ls, paying by the inch,— I don 't refer to the agricul-
tural papers particularly, but to the newspaper& of the state of
Iowa, if the advertising we have had had been measured inch
by inch, it Would have cost us tens of thourands of dollars to
have carried this news to the people the way we have carried it.
As it is these things furnish legitimate items of news; to say
that your cow has made 700 pounds of butter fat or 800 pounds,
as the case may be, is an interesting item of news.

As to the practical results, we cannot find men to do the
testing. There are test clubs organized in various neighbor-
hoods that are ripe for it; I think you would find them all over
the state of Iowa, and you would also find this general publicity
which the cow question and the public records has been able to
give to us, all that has gone to the farmer in a way that we
could never use in reaching him otherwise. I think we have
done in a year what we could not have done in ten years with-
out it. I haven't any doubt that when Prof. WoU's records
are spread on the newspapers of the state, you will find the same
results in your state; in other words, when a man reads these

Wisconsin State Boabd op Aobicultdke, 419

reports, it naturally raises the question what kind of a special
purpose bull he is going to use. "We who are interested in tlie
testing associations are going to find out about the individuals
and make the information we receive as. public as we can.

Mr. Jacobs: Is there anything done along the line of dis-
tinguishing these cattle that are making these records!

Mr, Marsh: I want to express my personal appreciation of
the moral courage it must have takenon the part of the people
who inaugerated and wrote the rules for your cow test in the
state of Wisconsin, and particularly made it one of the requis-
ites for entrance that the cow should be with calf and that In
face of the fact that the advanced registration rules of the Amer-
ican Guernsey Chib require no such qualification. I think you
have made an advance which entitles you to all kinds of credit
and I for one in season and out of season will say that you are
so entitled.

In our state we make the very serious mistake of following the
rules of the American Guernsey Cattle Club and not requiring
that, and I know that the example you have set will be copied
in later tests that are entered into. I have been to seven or
eight meetings of this character in the course of the last two
months, and on all occasions have favorably commented on your
action in that regard and have heard such favorable comments
from others. I regret to say that we in writing our rules in
TJowa left out that very important fact which shows what you
have done in the past and prov&s that the estimate we have
placed on you Ls correct, and that you are really the leaders of
dairying,

Prest. McKcrrow : Thank you, and I will say for this conven-
tion and all the dairymen of "Wisconsin that we are very thank-
ful that you are helping us.

There is a word I want to say with regard to one point raised
by the speaker, and that is the distinction between the show ring
and the utility standing, as I am pleased to put it, because I am
referring to all classes, not only live stock, but products. From
my experience and observation as a breeder and exhibitor, as
well aa a Fair manager, I believe that Mr. Marsh sounds a word
of warning to all Fair organizations and to all breeders' organ-
izations, and to all judges that may be called into the rings at
all classes of Fairs. There to-day is one of the greatest dan-
gers that the breeders and breeders' associations are meeting, ■

r„i..,j ..C.rr6glc

420 Annual Bepobt op the

and that bids fair to be more serious, because of the selection
of judges who place the show ring standard above the utility
standard. It may be a very hard thing to get back to the
utility standard in a Pair show ringr where records and pedi-
grees are all for the form, and yet it does seem that too mueh
attention to what are considered fancy paints, fashionable point?'
has been and is growing as to all lines of live stock.

You take the Poland China breeds, the American Breeder
admits that he must take into the show ring a type of hog that
is not the best pnducer on his farm — there is too much fine-
ness. You talk to breeders of other classes of swine and they
practically admit the same thing. In Berkshire hogs of late
years they seem to have been <]rifting back again from that old
standard.

You talk to the breeders of sheep and beef cattle and they
will ail tell you the same story, tliat the tendency of the show
ring is towards too much fineness, too much fancy points,
rather than the utility formation.

As a Pair manager and breeder and exhibitor, I want to say
thftt this is something that our breeders' associations and our
Pairs ought to take up and consider, and when we find a judge
going into a show ring, tying himself to that kind of a standard,
he ought to he turned down by all associations and by all Fair
management*'.

Now, we oome to the second sub-topic, "Her Growth and De-
velopment," which will be taken up by a man that we think
knows how to grow and develop a dairy cow, Mr, P. H.
Scribner of Rosendale,

Dairy Cow, and anything that is going to interfere with her
healthfulness or growth, is going to handicap her for her life
workj be it as breeder or producer. And to this end the great-
eat precaution is necessary in the rearing of the heifer. So that
nothing may dwarf her in size, for whatever dwarfs the
growth, will also dwarf and weaken the digestive orgmis as well.
The organs of digestion are but muscles, and are strengthened
like any other muscle by careful use. In the first place one
should know when to expect the little fellow, as a little rest
should be given the l>ajn from her milking period, so that a
little extra nourishment may be given at this time. A box
stall should be provided, and the cow permitted to occupy it a
eouple of days or so ahead of time, so that, she may get accus-
tomed to her new quarters before the little one arrives. This
stall should be thoroughly cleaned and sprinkled with some dis-
infectant or slacked lime and plenty of clean bedding used.
Our best horsemen to-day are paying a lot of attention to the
disinfecting of the naval cord, su that no troublesome germs may
enter and poison the system, and this is a wise movement in the
care of the ealf, to avoid troubles from this source. Avoid as .
far as possible any unusual conditions around the stable at this
time, or anything that would tend to excite or make the cow
nervous. Just what the effect might be is hard to say. Avoid
drafts, as a sudden chill or nervous excitement has more effect
upon the milk than mof-t people imagine, and is liable to cause
indigestion.

"We prefer to leave the calf with the cow for a couple of days,
as this first milk is just what its system needs to get into a good
working condition, at the end of the second day we take upon
ourselves the responsibility of the feeding of the little fellows,
and here comes the most critical period in the calf's life, and
its future usefulness is largely determined by the care exer-
cised at this time. There are perhaps four particular essentials
to look out for at this time. First, "A dry clean bed." If a
calf is permitted to lie on a wet bed it takes cold and that its
digestion is interfered with is shown by its rough coat, droop-
ing ears and running nose. Second, "The right amount of
milk for a feed," and I dare venture this ass:ertion, there is
more harm done by over-feeding than any one thing, just the
amount of milk for a feed I am hardly able to say. This amount
must be determined by the feeder, and may be anywhere from

Dyil ..Jo, Google

422 Annual Report op the

3 lbs. to 6 lbs. according to the injividuality of the calf, and
the nature of the milk, but it is always safe to say, Feed on
the careful side. For whenever we get them off their feed, it
is hard to get them back, and is weakening to the digestive or-
gans. The amount of milk should nc^t be determined by guess
work, but by actual weighing or measuring, for I find it so easy
to guess altogether too much. Third, "The temperature of the
milk," the normal temperature of milk as drawn is about 100
degrees and this degree should be retained as far as possible.
Any artificial heating of milk is always detrimental, as it makes
it less digestible.

Fourth, "Cleanness of calf pails." I have known men to
feed calves from a dirty swill pail and the calves certainly
showed it. The calf pails at our farm are washed regularly eaflh
day and every well regulated calf bam should contain a good
scrubbing brush and washing powder. In the feeding of calves
there is certajnly a splendid opportunity to exercise patience
and kindness. It is an old saying that you can catch more flies
with molasses than with vinegar, so you can accomplish more
by being kind and patient. If one is rough with the little ones,
they are apt to grow up with that feeling of distrust and fear,
and I am sure a cow never will do her best with this
feeling towards her owner or keeper, I notice that little calves
very early in the stage of the game begin to nibble on some-
thing, possibly a straw or piece of hay. Now is the time to
teach them to eat oats, whole oats are the best as that chewing
process tends to mix the saliva with the milk feed, and aids di-
gestion. They should be tied up while taking their milk feed
to avoid the sucking habit, and the oat feed should follow, what-
ever they will eat up clean will not be too much. At the ena
of six weeks if it has done well and got started nicely on oats
and clover hay the milk may be changed from whole to skim,
but make the change gradual by taking out a little of the whole
milk each day and substitute skim in its place. As it grows older
and stronger, the milk ration may be increased, and can be
profitably fed till the animal is a year old. There is great temp-
tation to get the spring calf out on grass too soon, but akim
milk, green grass, flies and hot weather make a mighty poor
combination. It better be kept up through the summer, not
housed in a dark gloomy place, but ought to have really the
brightest, most healthful place in the bam, where it can get

Dy,li.do., Google

WiycuNsiN State Board op Aoricultuke, 423

plenty of sunshine and pure air and exercise. The fall calf
usually makes the best growth at cur p'.aee, if eared for well
through the winter and make good growth, is then fitted to put
out on pasture. We ought to take every precaution for their
health full! ess that they grow a good strong pair of lungs, a good
strong physical frame, and be well developed all around.
So many people say, "Oh, its no gieat strain on a cow to make
milk, all she has to do is to eat and chew her cud and make the
milk," but I am sure it is as much a strain en her system, as for
the heavy horse to draw a heavy load. The making of milk is
more or less a nerve process, and a nerve tire is the worst kind
of a tire^ if you don't believe it, sit down and write an article
a day for several days on different subjects and see if you don't
feel as tired as if you had frllowed the plow. A deep capacious
body is a desirable feature for a dairy cow. And this tendency
should be oocouraged in the calf. Not by too much concen-
trates, but by plenty of bulky feed, such as skim milk, oats,
clover hay and wheat bran. These are all of the protein or mus-
cular nature, and not only tend to encourage capacity, but
are the feetls best adapted to grow a strong physical frame.
There is practiced to-day by many of our best breeders and
dairymen, of not letting the heifer drop her first calf until
they are about 30 months old. Many people say that is six
mouths time thrown away, but I know with heifers on our farm
grown in this way they get greater size, are better developed, and
are making some of our best producers. If we are keeping
cows just for the sake of having them around, it matters little
how they are brought up, but if we are keeping them for the
profit side, it certainly matters how their early training has
been, and I d')u't feel that I have described anything that is
unreasonable, but simply good common sense methods that ani-
mals may be prudueed that are worth while.

DISCUSSION.

Mr. Jacobs : Do you never find it necessary to dilute the whole
milk when it is very rich? Don't you find the calf does better
by putting in a little water?

Mr. Scribner: Yes, I think so possibly, especially a high
testing cow. A number of years ago when we were handling the

Dyil ..do., Google

424 Annual Report of the

deep-setting system, we found that by wanning the milk on the
stove, or in some way, that it injured the quality of the milk,
but that by pouring water into the milk it was certainly a bene-
fit to it, and I think now that with some of our rich milking
cows, if you dilute with a little warm water, you will receive
benefit.

Mr, Jacobs ; Do you think in that way that we would be
adding vitality to the milk!

Mr. Seribner: The gentleman is out of order.

A Member: When you heat your milk artificially, do you
use a thermometer?

Mr. Seribner; It would be a wise thing to do, but we do not
always do it.

A Member: Do you think, taking the milk as it is milked
fresh from the cow and immediately separated, that it needs
to be warmed up for the calf*

Mr. Seribner: We u-sually feed directly from the separator.
Of course the separator milk is not fed until the calf is about
six weeks old, as a rule, and they will bcscome quite strong by
that time, a little more rugged, a little better able to take care
of the milk, although it won't be just the right temperature,

A Member: Is it necessary to run a calf that old on new
milk ? '

Mr. Seribner ; I find that the best time to change them over
from whole milk to skim milk, is after they have got to eating
oats and hay nicely. Then you can change them over without
any apparent effect.

A Member: Do you think it is advisable to feed oil meal
right in the milk ?

Mr. Seribner: No, I don't think eo. We u.sed to think so,
we used to fuss with oil meal, but we have dropped it out en-
tirely now. It makes a soiled bottle every time you use it and
we have dropped it entirely out of our feed. We think that
milk and whole oats and hay are good enough, and we can grow
good large calves on that feed.

Mr. Jacobs: The calves seem to think so, too, evidently.

Mr. Seribner: Yes, they look so.

A Member: How do you tie your calves to prevent them from
sucking ?

Mr. Seribner: Well, they are tied usually with a halter. We
have little halters, they give them a little more liberty than a

stanchion. I don't like stanchions for calves. Of course it is
all right if they are inclined to the sucking habit. About an
hour after eating we turn them loose and let them run. I think
there is one particular fault with dairymen in rearing the calf,
and that is the poor condition of the pen; I think that has as
much to do with it as any other one thing, I have visited many
dairy barns and I notice, first, their calf pens, and too often you
will find the calf in some dark, gloomy comer where it is im-
possible almost to tell what is in the pen, and of course the
conditions get very bad without being hardly noticed. A calf
wants a light, airy place, because it is like a little baby, it does
not take very much to get it out of condition, and if it has to
sleep on a wet bed and take a soaking, its digestion goes wrong
every time.

Mr. .Taeobs: Don't you think the high price of butter has
something to do with the raising of the calfT
Mr. Scribner: It ought not to.
Mr. Jacobs: But don't you think it doesT
Mr. Scribner: T can't answer for you or anybody else.
Mr. Jacobs : What I mean is, the milk is taken away from the
calf too soon, too early in its life, sometimes T

Mr. Scribner: I do certainly. If we are going to raise the

calf, we have got to pay the price, because a man that is going

to feed a calf the wrong way will certainly not raise a good calf.

Mr. Jacobs : He may live to feed a calf another day, but the

calf may not live.

Mr Scribner: That is so; you are a poet all right.
Mr. Jacobs : There is one point, I think, that has not been
mentioned, and which I think is quite important. Would you
waste your time and affection on feeding this kind of a calf if
it didn 't have some dairy blood in it to start with, — for the pur-
pose of making a dairy cow, I mean ?

Mr, Scribner: I think that the day has passed when we can
afford to fool away our time with anything but the very best.
With our high priced land and high priced feed and high priced
men, we cannot afford to fool away our time with anything but
the very best, and then we should raise them in the very best
way possible. I believe what Mr. Marah said, every word of it,
that dairy animals are going to revolutionize things in our coun-
try. They are the greatest educators we have and when we
educate our young men into good dairying, then somethJBg is i
going to be doing. ■" " ■' tjt)OglC

A Member: How long do you feed them whole oats before
you begin to grind them T

5Ir. Scrihner: They would digest them uji to a year old. Be-
yond that time, I would say grind them. Up to a year old they
will utilize it all right without grinding. After six months old,
we usually put in a little bran with the oats, a little more bulky
feed, which I think is what they need to develop their capacity,
their depth of body. That is one of the things I look at when
I go into a show ring. I have got some good pointers from our
Superintendent and from Mr. Marsh, and I always look oat
for that depth of body in the cow or calf, I like to see it. If
I were choosing between two animals of equal breeding, I would
prefer the one with the depth of body, beeause I know that cow
is carrying a larger machine to do the work laid out for her.

Prest. MeKerrow: It must be nearly fifteen years ago since
I went to visit a little dairy farm in Western Wisconsin where
I saw a herd of grade dairy cows and because I used to handle
a good many cows, I thought that herd was a good herd and in
conversation with the quiet, good-natured owner, I found thr.t
by the work they were doing they were good ones, just as I had
thought by their looks, and I concluded at that time that he
was a good dairyman, and I have had no reason to change my
mind to this day. I take pleasure in introducing to you one
of the woriiing dairy farmers of Wisconsin, Mr. H. D. Gris-
wold of West Salem, who will speak to us on the third sub-
topic, "Her Feed and Care."

WHAT GIVES US THR SATISFACTORY DAIRY COW.
"HER PEED AND CARE."

H. D. Griswold, West Salem, Wis.

The good feeder prepares in advance for his animals. He
will raise an abundance of clover and alfalfa, cut it early, and
cure it with the utmost care to preserve the feed value and to
have it in the most digestible form. Also the grain crop will
be sown with the feed value in mind to have a variety contain-
ing the most protein content. This also will be harvested in
the b^st condition to be clean and sweet and free from

'T.S^\c

Wisconsin State Boabd of AqricuiiTubb. 427

The com crop is the most important in feed value per acre,
especially if the silo is used.

The silo is a necessity tfl the best results in feeding. In it
the com is saved with the least possible loss and in the best
possible shape for feeding. The natural juices are preserved
making a succulent feed when all other feeds are dry and not
only making an easily digested feed in itself but helping the
animal to digest the other feeds that make up the ration.

After raising these crops we are still deficient in the neces-
sary protein and we must supplement these feeds with some
feed containing a large per cent of protein to balance the ration.
Wheat bran is one of the best cow feeds, being rich in protein
and deficient in fats it fills a place for cow feeding hard to
duplicate. Oil meal, gluten feed, ajax flakes, cotton seed meal,
and several other feeds are excellent but the feeder must
choose the feeds according to price and the proper balancing
of his ration. If he can raise alfalfa hay, that being rich in
protein, he can balance his ration with very little of the high
priced feeds.

As our winters are long and cold we need careful prepara-
tion to meet any emergency. I wish to emphasize this as too
many farmers fail to provide before hand and the result is
that when the cows need the feed they fail to provide it and the
cows are pinched in production. June pasture is the ideal feed.
No wonder milk is produced in great abundance and with
little eifort, when the grass is juicy, when the days are mild
and pleasant, but when the weather gets hot and the pasture
gets dry, then the dairyman must supply what is lacking in
feed. This can be done by some soiling crop, as oats and peas
or alfalfa or silage. With us we depend on our silage to sup-
plement the pasture. Should dry weather continue as last
season some ground feed should be added. If milk sheets are
kept and the milk weighed and reiiorded each day the feeder
can see if his cows are falling off, and if they are, provide what
is lacking. If a cow falls off for any length of time she will
not come back in her flow till the next freshening. Sweet com
planted convenient to the pasture makes an excellent fall feed
and rape is good if fed carefully.

Do not put off the winter feeding too long but get them on
full ration early. The late frosted grass is not worth much and
should not be counted on. Our winter ration is as follows; ,

428 Annual Report of the

Average — 35 lbs. per day of silage, 6 or 7 lbs. of ground fee3
with what elover or alfalfa liay they will eat and shredded corn
fodder, what they will eat. The grain is oats and Oderbmcker
barley bran and gluten. These feeds are not mixed only as
they are fed to each cow so we can vary the mixture as well
as the quantity to the individual needs of each animal.

They are fed at a regular time by the same person, one-haif
of the above ration in the morning and one-half at night.
Peed carts are used- both for the ensilage and the ground feed,
enabling one man to do the work and do it rapidly. The
highest amount of feed is eleven pounds per day and from
that down to two pounds of bran for a dry cow. The individ-
uality of each cow is carefully considered, that is, the amount
she is giving, the time she has been in milk, the tendency to
leanness or fatness, her natural capacity, her likes and dislikes.
When spring comes don't hurry about tnruing out to grass,
wait till the pasture has a good strong start and then feetl
some grain the first week. Clean pure water should be fur-
nished in abundance and warmed in cold weather. Salt
should be supplied often in small quantities.

The sire is not allowed to run with the herd but is kept in
a pen by himself both for safety and also that we can keep tie
records and know when each cow is due to freshen. A cow
should have four or five weeks of complete rest, more than that
is not necessary. During the time she is dry she should he
well fed but not fattening feeds, bran we consider best. "We
do not wish the cow to lay on fat but to be in good healthy
condition. She should have a roomy box stall dry and clean
with plenty of bedding where she will be quiet. Place her
there some days before she is due so she will get used to the
place and feel at home. Be ready and watchful to help if
need be but do not interfere with nature unless necessary.
After the calf is dropped give her a pail of warm water and
if she is cold blanket her so she does not get chilled at this
time. Then leave her alone for twelve hours by that time tlie
calf has sucked and the cow can be partially milked but do
not draw all the milk at first. The second day take off the
calf and return the cow to lier stall. Do not increase tiic feed
till the third day and then if she is all right increase the feed
gradually till she has a full ration. Special care at this time
will bring its reward in the whole year's work. ( '("kiq|('

The stable diould be the long way nortli and aouth to get east
and west and south windows. Two things are essential, the
comfiort of the animals and convenience in doing the work.
The stable must be light and not too large or high else the ani-
mals cannot warm it. "We prefer to have the cows in two rows
facing eaeb other with a feeding alley between the two maimers.
A stable thirty-two feet in width, eight feet high and long enough
for the number we wish to keep. We prefer manure carriers
for cleaning the stable rather than driving thru. A drive way
takes more room and lai^e doors ait eiach side let in more cold
and is not as easily kept clean. The King system of ventila-
tion is an absolute necessity for the health of our animals and
for clean milk production. Cement is the only material to be
considered for floors, gutters, and mangers. We use boards on
the cement in the stalls as it holds the bedding in place better
and is warmer for the cows to lie on. The stalls are four feet
wide and the cows are fastened with chains around the neck.
The staible is whitewashed at least once a year to purify it and
also to make it lighter and look better. Water should be pro-
vided in the stable so the cows do not have to go out in stormy
weather.

The length of the stall from manger to gutter should be ad-
justed to the size of the cow so she will keep clean, and plenty
of bedding used.

Clean milk is the cry all over our land and this is right ; the
cows, must be kept clean, the milker must be clean, and all the
utensils kept clean. The separator should be in a room by itself
adjoining the stable but not in it. As soon as the separating is
done the cream should be kept entirely away from the stable and
in ice-water until used.

Test the herd for Tuberculosis at least once a year and test
all new animals brought in. The milking should be at a regular
tdme, quietly, kindly, aad rapidly, each milker having his own

The dairymen should 'bear in mind that dairying is his busd-
ness and taJte the necessary time to do it well, not trying to make
long days in the iield and oaring for his animals in a hurry
but shorten the time in the field and care for the cows properly.

Well bred cows fed and cared for as we have abated should

at a cost not to exceed forty-five dollars for feed, leaving fifty-

DISCUSSION.

Mr, Imrie: You said you would feed eleven pounds of grain
feed. "What is the character of that feed?

Mr. Griswold; It is at the present time corn and barley
ground together, and bran and a little gluten feed, and we are
just now feeding some dry beet pulp.

Pres, MeKerrow: Does that have molasses in it?

Mr. Griswold: No, sir, just the dry beet pulp and that is
giving us very good satisfaction.

Pres. MeKerrow: "What is your coarse ration?

Mr, Griswold : "We feed about 35 pounds a day of ensilage in
two feeds. "We vary that a little and the dry cow does not get
as much as that, but we seldom feed more than 35 pounds a day
of ensilage. Then we feed clover hay at night and we feed that
in this way — we want our cows to have all that they need and
we want them to have the best of it, because we think more of
our cows than we do any other st«ck that we have got, aad so
we feed at night an abundance of clover hay, a little more than
what they will feed up clean, and in the morning we go out and
dean up the mangers after the cows have taken the best of it
Mid we take what is left and give it to the horses. There is no
dust in it, the horses don't object to it and they eat it up clean,
and in that way there is no waste. Then we feed shredded corn
fodder in the morning and we feed an abundance of that, and
the cow picks out the best of it and we take the rest for bed-
ding. We grow a whole lot of that corn fodder for bedding
and for whatever feed there is in it.

Mr. Scribner: You feed roughage only twice a dayt

Mr. Griswold ; Yes, we do not feed anything in the middle of
the day, we do all the feeding at morning and night.

Dyil ..do., Google

Wisconsin State Board of Aqbiculture, 431

A Member: "WilL that com fcdder give you plenty of bed-
ding!

Mr. Griswold: Yes, we feed plenty of it, so we will have
plenty of bedding.

A Jlember: In what proportion do you feed this ground
feed, this mixture that you give?

Mr. Qriawold; I couldn't tell you, beeauie we do not feed
any two cows just alike. We never put those feedi down on
the floor and mix them up together and give each cow the
same mixture. If a cow is dryi we feed only bran. If she
is a cow that is always thin m tlesh, we will feed her more of
the corn than the barley. If she is inclined to get fat, we will
feed more of the bran, and go sparingly on the other feeds, so
we never feed any two cows alike.

A Member : That would apply to the dry cows aa well 1

Mr. Griswold; Yes. Of course when we dry up the cow,
we have to take the feed away from her until we can get her
dry, but as soon as she is dry, we keep her along in good con-
dition until about a week before she is due to come in. We
keep a record and we know when every cow is due, and about
a week before she is due to come in, we feed her pretty well,
because she will not lay on flesh in that short time,

Mr. HiU: Sitting here listtoing to Mr. Griswold I particu-
larly noted what he said about mixing feed. He said "We
feed all these grains, but we don't mix them, we feed each cow
according to the needs of the cow." My friend Marsh here
says there is a good definition of a dairyman, the man who
feeds that way,

Pres. McKerrow : Yes, and we have got it finely illustrated
right here. I will say if Mr. Griswold had here his record
sheets showing the working of bis herd back for some time, you
would see that this method of feeding counted. It is the com-
bination of good cows and good feeding that makes such records
and such men.

Mi-, Scribner: Don't you think that many a good cow
might have been spoiled by not looking out for this individual
feeding T

Mr. Griswold : Yes, I do. I think we have to study every
individual animal in the herd, in order to get the best out of

A Member: Is there any way to develop a cow, except by
feeding 1

Mr. Griswold : Well, the feed cuts a large figure in it.

Mr. Inirie: That is, after you have the cow, you mean, not
by breed,

Pres. Mi-Kerrow : Yes, we have got here the breed. Mr,
Marsh put us on that line, all right, then Scribner raised her,
and now we are feeding her.

Mr. Griswold; There is a very eareful point in that feed-
ing, to feed the cow to get the most out of her for the year,
year after year, and still not to feed too much, not to overfeed,
but at the same time to keep that machine in the best working
order and going up to its full working capacity.

Pres. McKerrow: Ciin you keep a cow in the best, most
healthful condition by underfeeding her?

Mr. Griswold: No, sir, I don't think so, any more than
we can a man.

Mr. Bible: How many cow;; do you milk?

Mr. Griswold: Twenty to twenty-five.

Mr. Bible: I would like to know how you can feed every
cow and not feed them alike 1

Mr. Scribner: Tou better go up and visit him.

Mr. Bible : I think that is a pretty particular job, to feed
twenty or thirty cows and not feed any two of them alike.

Mr. Griswold; We do sometimes in our feeding feed two
alike, because we are unconscious of it, because every indi-
vidual cow as the feeder comes to her, he feeds her according
to what he thinks she can handle and handle to good advantage.

Mr. Bible: Of course I don't feed all cows alike, but I fina
there are a great many which will take the same feed and do
all right.

Mr. Griswold : They might do a little better if you varied
it a little.

Pres. WcKerrow: You are past the kindergarten stage, but
you haven't got up into his class yet.

Mr. Bible: I have got to depend on hired help to take care
of my herd, and I can't afford to bother and pay a man $30 a
month to go around and dose out teaspoonfuls to cows, I can't
do it, if I am over in the kindergarten class.

Mt. Griswold: We don't set hired men at it, we do it our-
selves. I never had a hired man I would trust to feed my cows.

Wisconsin State Boaed of Aqeicultube. 433

Mr. Bible : If you are lucky enough to have boys, you are all
right. I have got to depeud on hired help, but I find that is
a pretty hard proposition. I can 't go out and feed forty head
of cattle and do it all alone and do it myself if I have got to
carry out a teaspoon to dish it out to them with, lots of times I
haven't got the time to dish it out that way, I have got a pretty
good herd. Folks that come to visit me say they don't see very
many better cows. They say in my part of the country that I
have pretty good cows.

Pres. McKerrow: I think myself you are a pretty good
dairyman, but not in Mr. Griswold'a class.

A Member: You have your teed in different bins?

Mr. Griswold : Yes, it is very handy ; I keep it separate in
the feed cart.

Mr, Jacobs: I don't claim to be in the same class and I do
not speak of my method beeauKe it is as good as Mr. Griswold 's,
but I believe it is s^ome improvement over indiscriminate feed-
ing. We have a grain mixture that we think is about the aver-
age, and then we have a barrel of oil meal or cotton seed meal
or a mixture of the two and we give these to the different eows
according to their needs. Those that are failing in flesh will
get some corn meal, and those that are lagging back will get
some cottonseed meal or oil meal. We are aiming toward the
same thing, and I would like to get Mr, Griswold 's sanction on
this as not being very bad.

Mr. Bible: There is one point I would like to ask about:
You talk about feeding your cow pretty generously the last week
before she freshens, because she won't lay on much flesh dur-
ing that time. Do you object to her being in pretty good
condition of flesh at that time !

Mr. Griswold: Yes, I do, I am afraid of milk fever. I
haven't had a case of milk fever in fifteen years, and I believe
it is because they haven't bad a whole.lot of flesh.

Mr. Bible: I haven't had but two cases of milk fever, but
I want to have considerable flesh on luy cows when they come
in.

Pres. McKerrow: I will say for Mr. Griswold 's cows that
they are not poor in flesh.

Mr. Griswold: Yes, there is what you would call fat and
what you would call a good, healthy condition.

sides corn meal? I have had trouble with the eows' udders if
they are fed much corn meal before freshening.

Mr. Griswold: Yes^ I don't like to do that.

Mr. Imrie: Then what do you do to increase the amount of
flesh!

Mr. Griswold: We don't try to increase the amount of flesh,
we feed a litte oil meal, and we like to vary the feed too with
a small feed of roots, ajid if a cow should fall off a little on her
appetite, perhaps not take her feed quite as readily as usual, we
shorten the feed and we give her a small feed of roots.

A Member: Don't you think it is the best to keep your cows
in flesh all the time !

Mr. Griswold : Tes, all you want.

Mr. Marsh: Don't you think that a large part of this fat
that you put on during the dry period will be put in the milk
during the milking period?

Mr. Griswold : Yea, I think likely it is but I don 't like to take
that risk; I think too mu<;h of my eows to risk milk fever, and
after they come in I think they will do all there is in them. I
don't like to have them too fat when they eome in.

Mr, Hill : The thought came to me from Mr. Bible saying
he had bard work to get a good man, Mr. Marsh told me a while
ago that he was sitting with a friend of his in Iowa and he says,
"What is the use of trying to get an Iowa man to go into the
dairy business! I can't get a man to milk on my farm." And
Mr. Marsh says to him, "'If you_ won't be offended, I will tell
you why." He says, "Tell me," and he answered him, "Your
cows are not worth milking."

Mr. Bible : I would like to say a few words to these boys a
minute.

Pres, MeKerrow : All right, talk to the boys.

Mr. Bible: Boys, you fellows are going out to work on the
farm. Now, we won't ask you to do what we wouldn't do our-
selves, but we do want good men, we would rather pay $40 for
a good man than $15 for a poor one. I have been hiring men
thirty years and when I get a good man I keep him as long as I
can, no matter -what it costs. The first thing a man tells me
who wants to hire out with me is that he can milk thirty
cows. Now, I never hired a man that could do that, aad I would
rather have him milk eight cows the way they should be milked

than to milk twenty-flve. There is more money in a good milker
than any other man on the farm. I have Had men on my farm
that I wouldn't let go at any price just because they have been
good milkers, and I have had men that could do just twice as
much at other work but were no good at milking.

Pres. McKerrow: Good doctrine, boys. Von may have to
hire out at comparatively low wa^s, but don't try to give low
work to fit the wages. Make yourself as useful in every position
that you get into as you can, so you cannotbe spared, and then
your wages will go up.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON RESOLUTIONS.

Submitted by Mr. Hill and on motion duly seconded unani-
mously adopted.

The Committee on Resolutions adopted the following resolu-
tions which were duly adopted.

The farmers assembled in the Annual Convention of the Wis-
consin State Board of Agriculture realizing that the Pure Bred
Live Stock Industry is only on a sound basis when the Pure
Bred Record Associations and their work is above reproach, ana
whereas some reflections are being cast on the i-ecords of some
of the Associations, therefore, be it,

Resolved, That we ask the U. S. Department of Agriculture to
adopt a sy&tem of inspection and supervision of such record as-
sociations as will put their work above reproach, and make im-
possible some of the crookedness charged at present.

Whereas, the University of Wisconsin has granted us the lase
of this room for holding of our Convention, therefore.

Resolved, That we thank the Regents of the University of
Wisconsin for the welcome accorded this Convention, and es-
pecially to Dean Russell for adjourning classes that our auui-
ences might in some way commensurate with the importance of
the subjects discus-ied, and the chaj-acter of the speakers we have
beard.

Resolved, That we wish to express to Mr. W. W. Marsh of Iowa,
our appreciation of his gift that has made possible the present
Wisconsin Dairy Cow Competition, and we hope to see 1,000 cows
entered in this contest before the end of the year, thus inaugurat-

WISCONSIN FARM CROP REPORTS, 1909.

May 1,

On account of the extreme backwardness of the season, it is
impossible to give as definite a report of the condition of farm
crops as is usual on the first of May.

Vegetation has been very slow in growth, and physical condi-
tions bear a greater resemblance to those usually found April
first, than a month later. The weather has been, and remains
cold, and the fall of rain and ^ow within the past two weeks
has been much in excess of normal. Some parts of the state
report from four to six inches of snow now on the ground.

Considerable le.ss than one-half of the farm acreage intended
for the growth of oats and barley has yet been sown.

Indications are that winter grains, meadows, and pastures have
come through the winter without the excessive winter killing.

Last year's seeding cf alfalfa and clover is usually in good
condition, and pastures, though late, need only warm weather to
put them in good form.

One of the compensations of the continued cool weather is
the retarding of the grcwth of fruit buds, and with later sea-
sonable weather, fruit prospects should be good.

We note from our correspondents a continued '.endency to de-
crease of acreage of vrinter wheat, which has ceased to be an im-
portant crop in the state. Rye maintains its usual acreage.

While the partial failure of the oat crop of the past two years
will considerably diminish the acreage sown in some localities, it
is evident that the increase of barley acreage will be decidedly
marked, as it was last season over previous years.

The sowing of spring wheat is gaining among farmers in many
parts of the state, and the present high price of the grain has a
tendency to strengthen the inclination. Dun^tJo. OoOqIc

438 Annual Report op the

Present indications are favorable for a good hay crop and ex-
cellent pasturage, while with warmer, drier weather in the near
future our next report may show all around normal conditions.

The failure to get in small grain crops in the usual season will
have a tendency to increase the acreage of later planted crops.
John M. True, Secretary,

June 1,

While cool weather has prevailed during the month of May,
little damage has resulted from frost, and farm crops have made
satisfactory growth.

Smalt grains sown this spring have usually made a good stand
and are of excellent eolor, indicating a thrifty condition.

Grass has made a rapid growth, and a good hay crop is already
assured. Pasturage is now abundant.

Nearly all the com acreage has been planted, and on many
Helds the plants are up and growing nicely.

Indications are favorable for another season of agricultural
prosperity; present conditions showing remarkable uniformity
of growth and vigor in all crops.

A summary of reports received from our correspondents gives
the following very satisfactory estimate of present conditions of
our principal crops: — 100 representing a high average condition.

Paaturea 9G

Small fruits are usually reported in good condition, and ap-
ples arc showing a promising amount of blossom.

Reports indicate that the acreage of corn in the state will be
increased fully 5 per cent over that of last year; while potatoes
will be increased from two to three per cent.

The acreage of tobacco will probably be about the same as
last year, though plants are small and at present not ready for
setting.

The acreage of si^ar beets will not be increased from last
season. r ,,,,,, ^C.OOqIc

Wisconsin State Board of Agriculture. 439

In many parts of the state the acreage of peas and com for
canning is very largely increased.

With summer weather now dne the crop prospects are cer-
tainly ex-ellent.

John M. True, Secretary.

July 1,

The weather throughout the month of June has been nearly
typical for the growing of farm crops.

There has generally been a sufficient amount of rain, and
practically no storms of sufficient violence to injure growing
crops.

As noted in our last report, the early stand of crops planted
was especially good, and the warm weather of the past few weeks
has caused a remarkable growth. At present, favorable indica-
tions apply universally to all crops — with an unusual uniform-
ity of growth and healthfulnes.s.

Haying has ibeen commenced, and both in quantity and qual-
ity the crop is proving very satisfactory.

Winter grains and barley are nicely headed and indicate
promising yields of grain. Oats have, up to the present time,
been free from insect pests and rust, that have injured the
crops for the past two seasons.-

Com, which was much of it late planted, has made a phenom-
enal growth during the past ten days, and is now much more
promising as a cr>p than at this time last season. Fields are
generally clean and with the increased acreage of the present
season, the crop prospect is gocd.

Potatoes are reported in fine condition.

Not all of the tobacco acreage is yet set. Plants have been
unusually small and weak, but the recent warm weather haa
caused them to improve rapidly. The acreage is slightly re-
duced from that of last seascn.

Sugar beets have a good stand, and where properly thinned
and weeded, are making a rapid growth. Pastures continue to
be excellent, and farm stock is doing nicely.

Indications are that there mny be a little more than a half
crop of apples, while prospects for small fruits are g!X)d.

The almost universal comment of reporters on present condi-
tions is that crop prospects were never better.

August ],

It is very difficult to make a close estimate of the condition
of crops, as a whole, in the State at the present time.

A sharp drought has prevailed over meet of the State dur-
ing the last half of July, but its severity and damaging effects
vary very decidedly, even in aipproximately the same localities.
In many counties portions of the Fame are suffering severely
from want cf rain, while other parts have been vi.sit(?d by
local showers, and crops are doing well. The most 'serinas
loss has occurred upon light sandy soils, where the excessive
heat has withered growing crops and prematurely ripened
grains.

Seldom has a hay crop .been secured in such fine condition .is
during the past season. Little damage wa5 done by rain, and
moi^t ff the crop seasonably harvested.

Winter grains, spring wheat and rye have been harvested,
and apparently maintain the estimate 'of condition made last
month.

Barley and oats were hurried in ripening in many locations,
and as a result both the quantity and quality of this crop is
more or less affected.

In most locations CTrn has made rapid growth, and '^th
rain, scon, would make a good showing. "Where the crop
was not well worked, or planted upon light sandy ^ils, it Iws
been badly damaged. ' '" ■' ^ '^^^^S^*-'

Wisconsin State Board op Agriculture. 441

Eaily potatoc:; are not a large crop, and late cnes must have
rain, cr the yield will be light. Especially is this true in the
potato growing counties.

Tcbpjjco is not malting satisfactory grovrth. Early set plants
are blosEcming without the usual development of leaf, and late
plants are at a ftand.'till. Immediate rain is needed far this

OTOp.

Sugar beet;; have maintained a fair growth, but the roots will
be diminished in size by drouth.

The excellent pastures of a month ago are gene, and in many
parts of the State farmers are feeding their stock.

There is no occasion for dei pendency en the part of the
farmer. Gocd cropr, of hay, wheat and rye, fair crops of barley
and cats, with a chance, through timely rain, of saving the
later crops, do not represent the worst conditions.

Carefully prepared estimates of the etnditicn cf the several
farm cropi at date, show the following percentages:

SprlDg Wheat 92

Spring Rye 92

Barley 86

Oats 84

Peas 90

Corn 85

Potatoes 75

Cabbages 83

Tobacco 70

Sugar Beets 87

Pastures * . , . 70

Apples 40

Small Fruits 76

No crop report will be issued in September on account of
State Fair.

John M. True, Secretary.

November 1,

Prom our eorpr. of crop reporters, covering by observation the
entire State, we submit the following statements of "Yield per
Acre," "Quality of Product," and "Farm Prices," of Wiscon-
sin Farm Crop:-; for the season of 1909.

The prices of some of the crops most difficult of transporta-
tion vary ccmiderably in different parts of the State; potatoes
bringing 50 cents per but^hel in most markets in the southern
seation of the State, while in counties where more largely grown

Dyilz^J.., Google

442 Annual RepokT op the

the price is much less. The same conditions apply to a eertain
extent to hay and other bulky products.

In determining the average of any given crop, due considera-
tion is given to the importance of counties leading in produc-
tion of crops considered, so that yield and price may bear a
proper proportion to acreage cultivated.

Attention is called to the high quality of moat of the leading
products.

The yield per acre is very satisfactory in a comparison with
that of the past five years.
