Excerpt from Better Pastures for Dairy Cattle The number indicates the ability of the soil type to produce the major crops grown in the region, without soil treatment but with the soil in a cleared and drained condition. The scale is l to 10, the most productive soil in the state being rated as 1 and the least productive as 10. Experimental pastures. This gently rolling, highly productive land yielded large amounts of forage. It was all tillable and could have grown equally good yields of intertilled crops.

Book Description
Excerpt from Better Dairy Farming: The Breeding, Feeding, Handling and Care of Dairy Cattle Professor E. H. Farrington of the department of dairy husbandry at the University of Wisconsin asks his class of farm boys at the end of each term this question, "What languages do you speak besides English?" One boy answered, "I can speak a little Norwegian and a little German, and I understand horses and cows." That is the very object in writing this book. We want to make the language of cows a little better understood by the dairymen of this country. To know about cows, the farms and the best farm practices in different parts of our great country will make a man a better farmer on his own farm. With the reading of this book we hope that farmers may have their vision broadened and perhaps a suggestion will be found that will change a practice so that a little more money may be made and saved. At the time of writing this preface farming is said to be in a bad way. The lawmakers and the others are all busy trying to help the farmer. Some good will come of their efforts. We think, however, that the most good will come through the efforts of the farmer himself. He will build for himself on his own farm and will build for himself and for his neighbors when he joins with them in the community and state enterprises which he will help to build, at the foundation first, in his own community. Co-operative effort will make for "better farming, better business and better living." The dairy farmer is the best off of all. Conditions in Wisconsin and New York and the other dairy states show that. This is no time for anything but optimism because the demand for milk and dairy products is growing and the market for these is the foundation of the business. With the market for milk and dairy products becoming increasingly good the market for surplus dairy cattle will become better. The object in writing this book is to help some with all this. We have enjoyed writing it. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Improvement of Pastures in Eastern New York and the New England States The dairy pastures in the region referred to have depreciated very greatly, and in many instances to the extent that they have very little value. In direct contrast there are numerous beef-cattle pas tures in Kentucky, Tennessee, and Virginia of the same age that are fully as productive as ever, and are valued at f$100 or more an acre, even when located 20 to 30 miles from a railroad. In the northwestern part of Middlesex County, Ontario, there is an area of nearly acres that the farmers, owing to scarcity of labor, have rented to cattle grazers' for fattening export cattle. After twenty years' use practically all of these pastures are as good as ever, and in many instances have actually improved. Care is taken that these pastures shall not be overgrazed. If such pastures show any tendency to depreciation, steps, such as feeding roughage on the high points dur ing the winter season to add to the fertility, the application of lime and bone meal, and other means that may be considered necessary, are immediately taken to restore them. All weeds that are likely to prove dangerous are carefully kept out. In the corn belt men buy badly worn land for $25 an acre, and by putting it into pastures and feeding cattle on it are able to build tip this land so that in from five to ten years it is worth from $100 to $125 an acre.

Book Description
Excerpt from Care and Feeding of Dairy Cattle, Vol. 67 A Great Increase in urban population over rural has made British Columbia a large Importer of dairy products, in the last few years our farmers have gone In for dairying more extensively, and the supply of dairy products Is beginning to overtake the demand. It will, however. be many years before the home market is fully supplied. The opportunities for the dairy-farmer are many. Dairying is and should be the backbone of our agriculture. The most prosperous Agricultural communities of the world, where intelligent farming reaches Its highest level, depend chiefly on dairying. Denmark, Holland, and the Island of Jersey are examples. There are many reasons why dairy-fanning is practiced on the highest-priced lands and pays good returns. The dairy cow is the most economical producer of food of all farm animals. A good cow giving about 7,500 lb. of average milk in a year will produce Tour times as much solid food as a well-fed steer during the same time. The hog comes next in order to the cow as a profit-maker, and hogs are generally raised on a dairy-farm to consume the skim-milk or buttermilk, thus enhancing the profits. Intelligent dairy-farming tends to conserve and Increase the fertility of the farm, unlike exclusive grain or fruit growing, which reduces fertility. The selling of dairy products takes away very little from the land, most of the fertility contained in the crops being returned to the soil in the barnyard manure. The manure from a well-fed cow Is worth $25 a year. Much of tills fertility Is taken from the air during the growth of the crops, the clovers grown being especially beneficial in adding nitrogen to the soil. Any foodstuff purchased by the dairy-funner also adds fertility to the farm. The foregoing explains why the average yield of wheat per acre in Denmark Is 42 bushels, England 32. and on this continent less than 20. An Important item is the low cost of freight on concentrated products like butter and cheese having much value in small bulk. Labour is distributed evenly throughout the year, winter as well as summer. Another advantage connected with dairy-farming is the steady market available and the certainty of returns. Market prices for dairy products vary but little from year to year. Dairy products are food necessities, while some farm products arc more or less luxuries. Moreover, the market Is close at hand. "There is no market like the home market." and that is very far from being supplied by home production. Although returns at any one Mine arc not large, they are coming In the whole year through. Thus intelligent dairy-farming is not at all speculative, but is essentially "safe" farming. Dairying Districts. The Coast districts of British Columbia are most favorable to dairying. In these sections the industry is most developed, especially in the Lower Fraser Valley and on Vancouver Island, A mild, moist climate with a long growing season, together with proximity to large markets, make these the premier dairy districts of the Province. A large amount of fresh milk is required by Vancouver, Victoria, and other centers of population. In addition, twenty creameries are in operation in the Coast sections. Seven of these are farmers' co-operative creameries, and the rest are owned by city milk companies. Three condensed-milk factories are operated, two on the Mainland and one on Vancouver Island.
