our work Is the work Of chance. 1t VIII
not answer to say OF think that our
methods are good enough because our
mothers adopted them. 1t makes no
difference what our mothers did. The
question OF making butter and cheese
can not be settled by attempting to do
eide 1t by what our parents did or did
or did not do. If wsAre not getting as
good price for our butter as any body
else gets, there must be reason for 1t,
and what reason can there be, except
that our butter Is not as good az that
which brings better price in the very
same market TO which ours is taken?
And IL 1t is true that it is not as good,
why is 1t not2 Now such questions
should cause us to pause and invests
gate. 1t is no disgrace to learn; and to
any one who has not kept abreast with
the progress Of the dairy there is very
much TO learn. Such person will be
astonished at the progress that has
been made. We would like to have
every one who is engaged in making
dairy products, and who has not investi-
gated new methods and the application
of new principles, to begin the study Of
them, throwing aside all prejudices,
ton Of learning all there is to learn.
The study Of merits of the
different breeds OF cows, ought
to be the FIRST ttsaing to do
The loss to the dairy from keeping poor
cows is incalculable poor COW is
mighty poor property; and if those who
are keeping poor COWS would take the
trouble to compare their profits, If they
have any, with the profits of those who
are keeping good COWS, it would require
but very short time for them to see
what very great mistake they are maxi
ing. 1t is this want Of investigation as
to the merits Of cows that is one great
drawback to the dairy. In fact, 1t is the
neglect to keep debit and credit ac-
count with the herd that is the caase of
some people going on for years with
out making any thing from the
dairy. As a matter of fact there
should be such an account kept
with each individual COW, for it is by no
means an unusual thing to find upon i'm
vestigation that herd contains indi-
viduals that are not worth keeping.
But they are retained there from year
to year because the average is salts
factory and the good COWS are hiding
the defects of the poor ones The dairy
and our livestock enterprises will never
be what they ought to be until we keep
q detailed account of our outgoes and
incomes. If the man with an unprotit-
able herd could be induced to keep such
an account, nothing would be needed to
induce him to get better herd, for
every man wishes to make money, and
no man will do business at loss, if he
can prevent it.-American Stockman.

Very poor butter is no longer wanted on
