USEFUL KNOWLEDGE.
HINTs TO d Few dairymen |
are aware OF the amount they lose in |
the quantity of cheese, to say nothing I
of the quality, by not taking care Of |
their milk! It would astonish many of |
themdif they were informed that they. |
sustained q loss of 6 to 10 per cent. in |
quantity by their own carelessness or |
Ignorance, which they might save by D |
littlemore care, and thus add the amount |
they lose in price per pound by not hay-
ing prime article. which, in many in |
stances, exceeds 10 sand often 20 per
cent, and it will be readily seen that
the loss thus sustained would do good
deal toward banishing hard times, which
30 many are complaining of at present.
