MIX as a Farm Crop.

Many farmers who keep inferior cows
give them poor care and make q miser
able quality of butter, think there is no
profit in keeping cows to produce milk.
1t is Questionable, however, if there is
more profitable farm crop than milk. To
make money out of milk it is necessary
to keep good COWS, to give them the best
of food, to bestow proper care and to
have a market near at hand A report
is published of the profits of a herd of
thfrty-three cows belonging to Mr..
Charles Millard, of Lake Mills, Wis,
during the year 1881. No account is
kept of the milk consumed at home dur
ing the time. The owner of the cows
sold at the creamery at Lake Mills 224,-
4S6 pounds of milk, for which he received
81, 367.25. This is an average OF over
81 per cow. Pork worth $500 was also
made from SKINNED milk brought back
from the factory. Ten calves were raised
that were valued at S100. The total re
ceipts for the cows were $3,O67-26, or
nearly 800 per cow. OF course hard
work was required to produce feed for
these cows during the time they were
kept in stables, and constant care was
needed to draw the milk at the proper
time and to take il to the creamery. But
the sum of money received was large,
and receiving cash for farm products at
the end of every week or month is an
important consideration. Many farmers
who produce little but grain receive
money but once year. and are obliged
to buy most of their supplies on credit:
The credit system has been the ruin OF
many farmers. 1t has caused them to
buy injudiciously and to pay large prices
Dairying, Is at present conducted, Is q
cash business, and on that account has
special claims on the attention OF farm

A Diplomatic Helpmeet.

The wife of Senator Bingham used to
tell pleasant story of the time when
her husband was trying to get votes in
the Pennsylvania Legislature. He gave
q dinner party to a number of the
members, one of whom managed to
break plate-one of an exquisite set
of Sevres of great value. The clumsy
guest fell into an agony which Mrs.
Bingham at once soothed by saying,
with careless air: s.It is of no sort of
consequence, for this ware is exceeding
ly brittle, and breaks very easily; just
look''-and to illustrate her statement
she took up another of the priceless
plates and placidly broke it into bits
with a knife. Fresh plates were brought
and the clumsy member was so pleased
and relieved that, as soon as might be,
hevoted for the husband of this woman

Dairy Statistics.

There is no productive industry which
is attracting more attention than that of
supplying our own and the markets of
the world with prime butter and cheese,
and the increase in quantity and inn
provement IN quality in these products
is something worthy of congratulation. 1t
Is recollection which need not be rele-
gated to the oldest inhabitant, when
cheese, IL it was to be found upon our
tables at all, was the product of New
York or Ohio dairies, and much of the
butter consumed here, came from the
same sources IL cheese was made, it
was strictly for home consumption, and
the character of the butter was such that
it was useless to seek an outside market
for it. A most rapid and gratifying
change, of late years, has been going on
in this matter, and our dairy products
are assuming an importance full of
hope and encouragement to the ag-
ricultural interests of the State.
Only q very few years ago, our
dairy products had no place in the mar
ket reports; now they are found not
alone in American markets, but make a
respectable figure in foreign exports.
We have no statistics later than the pro-
ducts of 1879 to show how Wisconsin
stands with the other States of the Union
in the amount of production of butter
and cheese, but at that time in the pro-
duction of milk it stood the sixth State,
New York, Ohio. Illinois, Pennsylvania
and Massachusetts, alone standing ahead
of it The products of the milk u butter
and cheese varied somewhat from that
classification, but not very materially.
What change three years have made in
the figures is not ebtainable, butt is quite
certain that the West has come up high
erin the comparative scale. The follow
ing table compiled by the Utica On. "
Herald and derived from the census
tables of 1880, IS believed to be closely
approximate statement of dairy products
in all the States and Territories in 1879:
