Mr.. ]. T. Browning Of Claquato has
FIST paid the creamery farm a visit.
He came 70 see the ensilage and the
"hornless herd the dehorned dairy

The dairy, keeping proAtin mind; 70
keep the greatest number Of cows well
upon given area Of land: in word,
how best 70 manage the farm TO make
II pay.
Any system that does not keep this
vital point in the foreground Is faulty,
and, In fact, fatally detective, for, after
all, that is what we are all working for
primArily--the profit there Is in the
business. The hEst dive vas into
the silo, to the very bottom. /" Why,nI
said my friend, that Is not sour en-

should encourage us all 10 ed better

though doubtless il will pay better than
butter In some localities. We took CO.
pious notes as our friend talked about
how he made cheese, as he has been
successful, with the view Of some day
writing chaPter on cheese making.
The one point be made was a surprise,
that he could :" tx up for making
cheese from the milk Of forty cows for
one hundred and fifty dollars" From
this, farmers can readily see they need
not be deferred from making cheese
on account Of the cost Of getting ready

Browning bears testimony IN favor

All this from experience, making his
testimony Of treble value TO that Of

was the response, when urged to send

submitting that grave mistake Of 80
many with valuable knowledge locked
within their breasts, OF failing to write
because they tried too hard.
