with an implied decision that, while
either high colored or uncolored cheese
is in demand in all the leading markets,
moderate coloring is safest. The ques

tages over exclusive grain farming were
strongly presented, but the extent to
which grain and stock raising might be
united with dairying was question on
which there was some difference of opin-
ion, but with a strong preponderance in
favor of some mixing. Statements were
made of several of the dairies last year
having yielded $50 per COW in cheese,
butter, and calf, not counting anything
for manure, This gives fair profit.
