Milking Cows at a Loss.

The statement made at the recent
meeting of the Northwestern Dairy
mems Association, that one-third of
the cows are MIXED at loss, another
third with neither profit or loss, and
the other third make up the losses of
the frst.and provide the profits of the
business, doubtless does not accurate
ly represent the real proportions, but
is nevertheless in the main correct A
very considerable proportion of the
profits made by the farmer from good
COWS is consumed in supporting the
poorer COWS in the same herd, that do
not produce enough to pay for their
care and keen. But the scales are
handy, cream tubes and test churns
are inexpensive, and beyond his own
attention to the details of his business,
there is no reason why any one should
maintain an improbable dairy COW.
If any one feels any great desire to
know which ones are unproductive
he can very easily ascertain, and it is
not difficult to weed them out ana
supply their places with others which
may prove better. The ease and
promptness with which an oNact
knowledge of profit ana loss can be
arrived at whenever it is thought
worth while to examine the question,
is one of the advantages of the dairy
business, but with little figuring and
careful observation it is possible to
ascertain the profits and losses in all
the other departments of the farm.

Dozens of delegates tried to get the

was then ordered. II being generally
thought this was going to finish up
the business, they were subdued by
intense excitement
A motion to take1a short recess was
made, and declared lost by the chair
The calling of the roll was proceeded
with.
Before Alabama's vote was given,
there was another uproarious scene, in
which Duteher,s Roosevelt and other
New York delegates took prominent
parts. 1t arose upon the technical
point that motion to take a recess
had been made and had been decided
by the chair in the negative, although
| a call had been made for a vote by
states At last a Blaine delegate
appealed to his friends to push on the
balloting for a presidential candidate.
Foraker, of Ohio, moved that Blaine
be nominated by acclamation.
Roosevelt, of New York, demanded
a call Of the roll. There was great
excitement and the call on the recess
question was ordered.
Alabama started the fourth ballot
by giving Blaine gain of 6, Arthurs
loss. In Florida, Blaine gained 2,
also Arthur's loss. Illinois cast 81
votes for Blaine, which, with the pre-
vious votes would give Blaine Ala, 8
more thar the necessary majority of
the entire convention. This settled
the business. Kansas gave Blaine 3
more votes, Kentucky H. Inaiana de
posted 80 votes for Blaine.
