and his subject was Summer and Winter
Dairying." He said: The average yicld
OF butter of the cows Of this State will not
| exceed 1870 pounds per year. and there are
many diaries in the State whore the avcragc
is over 221 pounds and 30 large dairie,
certainly where il is over 800. Consequent
~ there are many COWS with Il much lower
production than 100 pounds per COW. and
there are probably thousands OF cows IN Yer

winter dalrylng system with but one exception
and that is &. ;. Fassetts dairy of Enos-
burgh, who has well selected stock and prob
ably as fine pasture a. there is in the State
The first and largest factor which causes our
low production is the great number of poor
cows i'll our State. and they arc usually
found i'll the summer dairy. Another factor
Is the small amount of grain usually fed
from the time they come in to the time they
are turned out, and the poor quality of hav
many claiming that the small increase does
not justify the extra expense. 1t is, how
ever, much easier to keep up a COW 5 condi-
ton than TO put the flesh back again after it
Is lost, and If the milk is once shrunk the COW
will rarely 20 back to the larger amount
Another cause Is the poorer quality of food
IN the latter part of the season. Should n
COW receive as good food then. there will not
be much decrease in the butter produced. al

pasture should be supplemented by other
foods.
Now why is winter dnirying much better
than summer dairyng can ever be- The
flrst reason is the farmer has more time to
devote to his business in winter Also in
summer 1t is difficult TO govern the character
oi the food, which can be quite accurately

in the milking season furnishes the largest
excess of the profits Of the winter over the
summer system. The weight OF testimony
IS that COW coming in in September win
give about one fourth more for the year
than when she comes in in March and also
richer milk. Another and more important
factor Is the value Of the fat contained in
