The following is brief report of the
farmers meeting held at Eagle Hotel,
Jan 81. Stephen Smith said: The foun-
dation of profitable dairying is good
cows Each COW should be tested to
know her worth as a butter producer.
Cows should be well cared for and prop
erly trained. HeiferS should be MIXED
at least ten months. Carrots, turnips
and caboages are good feed for dairy. 1
have made since Nov. l, from 10 cows,
300 lbs. of butter He wants cows extra
kept through the winter. He feeds no
meal and don't think it pays; can make
more butter from milk set in small pans,
one-third full. Does not milk when cows
are feeding. Miks regular and feeds
regular. Nine years in dairying, he
made 25O lbs of butter a year per COW.
Cabbages, the best vegetable to produce
milk. Thinks native cows the best but
ter producers.
Chas. Goodrich said He makes $50 lbs
of butter per COW. Feeds meal nearly
through the season. In 1889 kept 16 cows
fed $175 worth of meal. Sold net per COW
after paying for meal $32 Thinks each
mixer should milk same COWS and order.
Feeds before milking morning and night.
1890 kept IL COWS and paid $175 for meal.
Sold from each COW $42 after paying for
meal. Has Jersey and rest half breeds,
kept out of doors through hot weather.
Thinks he car make more butter from
Cooley system.
E. S. Gage keeps good dairy and
milks early mornings and nights before
feeding. Does not feed great amount
of meal and recommends early cut hay
for dairy. He thinks Jersey butter the
best, but keeps native cows.
