those in Wisconsin. They are based
on data obtained from raising ll? culv-
(s from birth to the little they enter
the dairy herd. The details, with o.‘
complete. summary of the investiga-
tion, have recently been published by
the Department of Agriculture in Bul-
letin .\'o. 49, under the title of "The
Cost of Raising a. ’Dairy Cow."
' ”There are in the United States over
2i.000,000 dairy cows. These figures
give some idea of the importance of
this economic problem to the country
as a whole, for those cows must be.
replaced every few years. The. cost of
the‘production of these heifers is a
large item in keeping down the pro-
tits of the dairymen.
Then we bulletin contains numerous
tables and several illustrations of the
Jersey» calves from which the. items
of cost wer obtained.
The most important item was the
cost. of the food, which was estimated
at market value and amounted to near-
‘ly two-thirds of the. total net cost of
the heifer, willie labor formed l2l/2 per
cent. of the cost. .
Figures for the average. nct moi of
the one‘ycur-old heifer are as follows:

Feed ................... $2ii.07 i
imbor ..................... 4.45 l
Other costs ................ 0.30 ll

Total ............ . ....... $35.48 i

To this shotld be added the initial
value of the call, which was estimat-
ed to be $7.04, making a total cost at
the end of one year of $42.52. This
charge is justified in view of the fact
tabt dairy cow are credited with this
item in determining the cost of milk

manure, it leaves a not cost. or $30.52

’l‘he man labor required in raising a
heifer is about 40 hours during the iirst
year and 2.” hours the second year. The
tutni cost of man and horse labor for
tho bwo years is close to $3. The mn-
nure produced durlntr the two years
has been valued at $8; consequently,
the cosct of labor is practically offset
by the value of the manure.

The item "other costs” consists of
txpenscs usually overlooked in esti-
mating ecsts. These are interest.
charge for the use of buildings and
equipment, expense for bedding, mls~
cellnncous expenses, 21 share of the
general expenses for the entire farm
tusiness, and 'a charge to cover losses
by death and discarding. The total for
these forms nearly Olle‘iii’tll oi the to-
tal cost of the. two-Yearold heifer.

The foregoing figures show that it:
mats more to raise calves to maturity
than is commonly supposed, and they
support the advice which the depart-
ment is continually trying to impress
upon dairy farmers, that it does not
pay to misc any but the best heifers.

Raining scrub heifers and selling them
at $25 to $40 apiece, us many do, is un-
prolituble. except on cheap land or un-
der other very favorable conditions.
lint it does pay to raise the best heif-
ers, for in good dairy sections well-
brod heifers are worth considerably
more than $60 when two years of age.
Furthermore, dairy farmers as a rule
are obliged to raise their own stock.
as it is difficult to buy productive cows
at it reasonable price. in some sec-
tions of the West whore alfalfa is
worth only $4 or $5 a. ton. or in the
Southwest. where pastures furnish
feed the greater part of the year, this
cost may be greatly reduced. idven
when it costs $th to raise a boiler, tWU-
thirds of this amount, is charged for
foods at market prices. a large part or
which can be grown on the form at u
profit. Thus by ruining the boilers the
dairy farmer ilnds a home market for
foods grown on the farm at remunera-
tive prices, and at the some time aids
in maintaining the fertility of the farm.
