spoke upon ''The Care Of Milk and Cream, and
Dairy Stock" He said: There are very few
persons engaged in dairying in our state who
feel that our dairy stock is as good it should
be, or as it will be in the future. The cows
have not been trained for long and heavy milk
ing; neither has the feed or care given them
had tendency to that end, and tho average
love for milking ten or more cows twice each
day. This is tho situation now, but our state
will not remain in it long. Our dairies in
this part of the state will average about ten
cows each. For such q dairy, for each month
% ef the year. Jul5 and. and August excepted, there
ensure equal butter for the entire year. For
food there should be the best possible pasture
and some green food for soiling. For this pur-
pose Evergreen sweet corn ts best From one
to two acres of this will be enough. A field of
pumpkins comes very handy for feeding in the
kins cut up before feeding The COWS should
be fed and milked in the stable.
The following formula have found The best
for dairying: Bran. lO,S0O lbs; oats, 1900 lbs;
corn, $t69o lbs; oil meal, 600 lbs; 70 tons Of
$48 at 20 cents per bushel; corn, $1925 at 80
$201.25 for 10 cows This Will give ratio Of
two pounds per cow for six months. A good
COW will give 5000 pounds Of milk during the
is cents pound will give $4a2o for the but.
ter: Then there will bs 5000: pounds Of
skinned milk which at Is cents pound,
amounts to 1850 This, with the new calf at
IS, gives us $557 ~ as the gross income per
COW. The winter expense We have found to be
ing costs 80 more, making : total Of $50 12 Ia
This leaves q profit of 325 58 per cow or
