A writer in the New York Tribune

steep an ascent to draw heavy loads OF

which IL clover but re and buckwheat

will therefore be necessary TO try & em on
a'modest scale, unless they have been pre-.

NJ III. Horne called and during the

lowing facts In regard to the nlce herd
Of a. j G c. Jerseys owned BY L =
H. /. Horne. OF Norway.
Their original herd consisted o. el9ns
selected yearling helfers healed oy ne
pure St Lambert bull Eliis osoke
Pogis. These were bought hve years
ago and later on the famous COW NINA
Pogis. which was sold wnen tnree
months old for $500. was added totno
flock During the past three years
twenty four animals OF the inc,eese OF
the herd have been sold FOR elxs, mar.
" all of which were calves 4 mos. OLD
or an average OF 95S per head.
The cream from these nine COWS
brought from May LIST. 1880. TO Nay LIST,
1851 casa Is or an average Of so per
cow. Ths cream goes to West fnris
Creamery Among the cows Is van
Nina Pogis now five years old. whose
four calves have brought the owners
sl05
The Hessrs Horne have now their
original herd of nine with An increase Of
four calves besides realizing Sl3SS from
the sale Of the increase.
Mr.. Horne believes the present system
of gathering cream good one. as those
farmers WHO use the Stoddard or Cooley
cans save an endless amount OF hard
work and have their sweet skim milk for
calves and pigs land colts will do pretty
well on it Then again the butter Is OF
a more uniform quality aud commands q
higher price in market. During the past
I ,ur month. March, April. May and June,
the money received by Messrs. Horne
from their nine cows is 1921 so. This ID
more than anv other herd has received
sending to West Paris, although there
are herds with twice the number OF cows
Mr. Horne believes there Is as much
competition in this business as any other
and the farmer who weeds out his poor
stuff seize with care either Jerseys OF
Gurpseys and IL not able to buy pure
blood. then high grades, will beat his
neighbor, who holds to the idea that the
cheapest is the best no matter what the
breed.
A COW is but machine and the ont
that will produce the largest amount vi
butter. with the lesst amount of food, Is
what farmers want. who are patrons OF
creameries. If they are located where
beef pays better then Durham. Here
ford, or Polled Angus are the best ma
chimes to run. For instance. Mr.
porne SAYS. lat the tannery We buy n

haust steam for heating purposes, ant

If we didn't have this. At the shoe fac
tory they buy fuel and want to be a.
economical as possible with it so use
cut off engine ard exhaust as little n
possible. OFT West where grain in cheap
the farmers want and have the bee
breeds which consume large amount
of grain and make lot of beef. They
are like our Tannery engine but in Maine
where grain is high, beef is cheap, lie
the farmers use the patent cut OIL ma
chimes which will consume the leas
