persons engaged in dairying in our state who
be, or as II will be in the future The cows
have not boen trained for long and heavy milk
inr: neither has the feed or caro- riven them
had a tendency I'd that end, and the average
Minnesota farmer has not developed q real
love for milking ten or more cows twiee each
Will Will NOT remain III il long Our ' d Sr in
this part Of the state Will average about ten
cows each For snch dairy, for each month
Oh the year, July and August excepted; thtre
should be 1 cow fresh IL. ihilE.. This would
ensira eqial, butter for the entire year For
food there should be the best possible pasture
and some green food for soiling For this .pur-
TO two acres of this will be enough A field of
pumpkins comes very handy for feeding in the
FALL The seeds should be removed and pump
kins cut mp before feeding. The COWS should
be fed and MIXED in the stable
The following formula 81 have found the best
corn, $500 lbs; oil meal, goo lbs; 20 tons Of
hay. The bran will cost $54 at 90 ton; oats,
44S ut 20 cents per bushel; corn, $1025 at 30
cents per bushel; hay, $50 at "a per ton; total,
$20l 25 for 10 cows Thi. Will give ratio Of
two pounds per COW for six months. A good
year, making 2aQ pounds 1T butter, which 81
Is cents pound will give $43 90 for the but
ter. Then there will be 5000 pounds OF
skinned milk which at Is cents q pound,
amounts to $3.50 This, with the new calf al
IS, gives us $55 ~ rs the gross income PEI

in the stable. Regularity il very important
buiht Believe in mil king at = O'clock, morn
ing and night, winter and summer From the
dairy of ten cows we shall have 100 lbs of milk
to care for twice a day. AS raucl. cream can b.
raised from deep setting as shall low, and thl
butter from the settlers in water is better 1
will take three cans to hold the milk, and thu
water should be held below 60 degrees. If il
can't be done with water use ice. There should
be hands enough to do the milking in one hour.
Milk should be kept over twenty-four hours
In the water below 60 degrees, before Swimming.
Cream should be kept from twelve to twenty
