1900 Quarts of best milk 2 quarts per day. &C. $500


1900 Quarts of best milk ~ quarts per day. &C. $500
Money profit in 100 days. s3655
Or, to put it in another way, the GOO
quarts sold actually brought in $40 cash,
and the entire GOO quarts used at home
cost $5.45. The cow cost, say $65. The
entire care, which was not paid in the sur.
plus of milk above l2 quarts per day, is
charged in the expenses above. The
manure produced, if sold, would more than
meet interest on cost of COW, and any de.
probation in value by increasing age.
Allow the above average to be kept up only
200 days in year, and at the end of that
time suppose the COW is sold for half price
($32.50), and fresh one substituted, there
would still be a gain of $4,000 for 200 days,
or for a year profit of $74l0
With good feed the S65 cow will keep up
full supply of milk at least 26 weeks, and
then be worth $40 for continued milking
and breeding. Sell her then and buy
another fresh COW for $65-a loss Of $50 a
year. The above liberal allowance of$47.45
for feed and care 100 days, amounts to
$l73.l9 year. Adding the loss of $50 for
purchasing two fresh COWS, makes the total
annual expense $l23.19. This would make
the supply of milk, IL quarts day (4,3S0
quarts), cost about cents per quart, or not
quite 81 cents for 10 quarts. This is not an
exaggerated estimate for $65 COW, renewed
every 26 weeks. The feed and care may be
very much less than the above $4745 per
100 days, by saving all waste foods suita.
BILE for cow, and by securing pasturage 7
or s months, and especially when cow
can be cared for by members of the family,
thus saving $50 ayear. Taking the country
as whole, probably $50 will ordinarily buy
n COW that will, on fair feed, average 10 to
u quarts per day for the first six months
after calving.-American Agriculturists for

Keeping One Cow.

1T PAYs-AN EXAMPLE.

A business man in New York, being
troubled to get good milk for young child
rem in his family, took our advice the latter
part of the winter and, so to speak, went
into the dairy business on his own account.
The result will be instructive to tens of
thousands of families in cities and villages.
lie had no pasture grounds, the only con-
Venience being a roomy sta l in carriage
barn, with opportunity for the COW to sun
herself and take limited exercise in Il small
area, say Is by 20 feet, at the side of the
barn, and this was seldom used. The stall is
kept clean and neat, with fresh straw litter,
and the COW has remained in excellent
health and Vigor. Chewing her cud and
manufacturing milk seem to give all the
exercise needed. Her feed has been bale
hay, cut IN small ay-cutter and mixed
wet with corn meal, bran, and shorts, with
some uncooked potato parings, cabbage
leaves, left over rice, oatmeal, etc, from
the kitchen.
A laborer is paid 81 a week to milk and
feed and brush her night and morning,
and take care Of the stable, and he is al.
