He Keeps winter daify, tho cows com

year be made $3.50 pounds Of Inter whirl

to COW Whea the age u the animal
is taken into consideration, beiog mostl,
heiiers, this may be considered as ap uu
usual yield This sold for sI4o0. or
little over 20 cents pound, from whiel
this freight is 10 b. deducted. This doe
not include The butter used IL the family
a Boston commission firm handles th,
produr'. Now as TO the question Of feed
The COWS have early cut hay, eaalage
and proveuder lhe las, consists Of iou
quarts OF cora meal and bran, half ant
half, twice a day, This is fed during th,
winter season, and one half the amount
for the remainder o. the year In sum
mer gives one feed a day In winter th,
water is warmed for the stock.
At frat made two hundred pounds o.
butter TO COW, but With better feed and
management Increased the amount TO tire,
hundred pounds.
The profit on the last 100 pounds is
more than GU tbs other 200 Some farm
ers will object to this high system o.
feeding aud say at once that it will moi
pay, aud with some it might not, but the
trouble is that most farmers do not feed
enough to get much Of any profit. They
will perhaps give just enough to keep thu
cows 10 fairly passable working condi
ton; now II they would double the feed
OF grain, there would most likely be two
or three times the amount Of profit that
they realize fiom what they 90 feed.
BIT Mr.. Fisher does not stop here. 10
connection with bis dsirying be makes .
large business " raising and fattening the
small breed OF Yorkshire pigs. He aver
ages to keep two of these to each cow
aud has them ready for the market al
seven months old when they will dress
from $50 TO 900 pounds and bring good
price seven and eight cents pound, ih,
past year. As Que lot is disposed o.
another takes its place, so that q good
many nre thus flttened during the year
| Corn meal and shorts are cooked aud fed
warm t. tho pigs, u.oug with The milk
Tie money returned from tho gigs pays
for the grain fed TO them and the COWS
This Is au IT. m worth considering, borhel
fsrmers. 1t by good management tn
dairy alone can be made profitable viii
the additi0n oil pig istttniug is should b.
made much more so. Aside from ia,
money results, the large amouut OF tn,
most valuable manure made by this sys
tenn OF farming will show a salisfactor,
improvement IN the condition of tho soil
Mr. Fisher has steam boiler and en-
CINE, with which water IS warmed, feet
cooked, ensilage cut, grain ground, etc.
