Dairy Expense.
When a farmer keeps herd of cows

cheese factory. or cream for tho cream.
cry, or butter for his own manufacture,
he is a dairyman and must admit he is
subiecting himself to dairy expense.
What is that expense2 Building barns
and sheds TO comfortably house those
COWS. Working all summer to grow the
hay and grain to feed them. Being
Obliged to keep extra help in the house
ana on the farm, on account of the dairy.
All this and much more he must subject
himself to, because he keeps dairy
Now calves, and steers, aud old COWS sold
for beef will not pay for this direct ex
pense of producing the milk. That ia
another department., and has expenses
all its own.
Fully 30 per cent, of the expense of
running a dairy is to be charged to the
mild product.
fully 80 per cent. of the purpose of
a SOW, in eight years service, is for milk
alone.
These are the reasons in the main why
q dairy farmer should select COW, breed
a Cow, feed a COW, and care for a COW
from the specific standpoint. Itamounts
to clear waste of his help, fodder and
time, in other words, waste of the dairy
expense to keep any Other than a COW
that will give him the largest returns
possible from the 80 per cent. side of her
nature. IL is just for this reason that
these general purpose" COWS arc such
failures for the dairy. They have poor
mothers TO start with aud these mothers
were bred to beef sires in order TO get
more size and weight and thus increase
the general purpose or ten per cent, side
of the business. But all the time the
dairy expense is as great as if they were
specific purpose Cows.
A word as TO where this reasoning APP
plies. In our opinion it applies as well
In Iowa, Minnesota or Dakota as in Wis
consin, anywhere indeed whore a farmer
keeps dairy of COWS for the purpose of
making any monsy from their milk pro-
duct, aud puts himself TO expense for
that purpose. The question of cost OF
food or help affects only the question Of
grass return. The question Of profit will
depend very largely, no matter where tho
work is done, on the kind of COW that
all this expense is lavished on, aud whoth-
er the owner is man wise enough for
