Another StutSman Farmers
Testimony to the Value of
a Milk Herd.
Cows Pay for Themselves
Twice a Year-Other
Farm Notes.
Special Report on Cause and
Cure of Blackleg to Be
Prepared.

The last state fair held in this city has
stimulated the good butter trade in more
than one quarter. through the valuable
prizes offered, and was of inestimable
value in numerous ways to those directly
interested in agriculture. The butter
prizes have directed attention to the sure
and constant source of revenue to be OBJ
tanned from the dairy, and it is believed
that marked changes along this line will
occur in the not distant future
r.. D. Townsend, living north of Ed
ridge and about Is miles from James
town, was IN the city Thursday and gave
his little milk herd. their butter produc-
ing qualities and their revenue capacities.
He has but half a dozen cows, but
monthly makes from 100 to l25 pounds
of butter, which is entirely consumed by
his private customers in the city at gilt
edge prices. He keeps an accurate
account and finds that the COWS
pay for themselves abou. twice each year,
or once every six months. For the year
of ten months they produce revenue uf
S45 apiece from the sale Of butter alone
The calves. which are always killed,
bring from $5 to $3.50, sold at the butch
ers for veal.
Like others who are interested in the
dairy, Mr.. Townsend finds that 1t does
| not pay to raise COWS, but instead to buy.
Good breeding animals are scarce and.
until this is remedied the largest returns
from this branch of agriculture will not
be realized. Good mixers can be bought
for S25 each or less, and until better
milk stock is introduced this plan will
be followed instead OF the gradual i'm
provement by grading up the herds.
The refuse milk is fed to the calves
and the horses, Mr.. Townsend stating
that gallon Of milk is equal to about
four quarts of oats for feeding purposes
to horses. The horses have been fed
milk from colthood up, and now are as
eager for their share of milk as the
average horse is for his feed Of oats
and they thrive on it, too.
No hogs are raised on the farm, neither
is pork used on the table. Beef and
mutton, each raised on the premises, are
used to the exclusion Of pork. The flock
OF sheep has been reduced considerably
and in about two months time Mr.
Townsend expects to entirely be out,
when more attention will be paid to the
dairy interests.
A stone dasher-churn 10 used and par.
ticular attention paid to the tempera'
ture of the cream. The salt and the but
ter are each weighed at each churning 90
that the butter is always uniform.

Must Learn Through Adversely.

In private note to The Alert, Mr.. 81.
M. Taber, one Of the large farmers of this
valley, has the following to say regard
ing the views of eastern people on the
business outlook, and the subject may
still contain something of interest to
those in this part of North Dakota, and
elsewhere, who voted this fall to continue
the present currency contraction policy
of the government. If they find no better
times as result they can blame none
but themselves. Mr.. Taber describes the
situation in New England as be observed
it, thus:
II have just returned from the east
where have been discussing, as occasion
offered, the silver question. They are
way behind on tho subject down there;
most business men know little about it
either Way. The New York Tribune and
the Post harp upon fifty cent dollars
and this is about all that the average
man can say on the question. 1t ought
to be perfectly plain to the Tribune and
Post that there would be no fifty cent
dollars with silver established; but
they never discuss the question from this
standpoint. They aim to make public
opinion against silver by the use of such
clap trap. The great question as to the
profound effect upon the world OF such
an enormous contraction of the currency
OF the world as has been brought about
by ceasing the coinage OF silver, does not
seem to be subject upon which they
have much light down that way. A
banker in Bridgeport, Conn.,, told me
that he thought the country was oc the
eve of prosperous times. In reply I told
him something OF the condition of the peo-
pie of this country who are engaged in
agriculture, and said that as long as this
class of people, who comprised 90 large
portion Of the inhabitants Of the United
States, are in such q state as they are now,
the east need not look for prosperous
times. Men are going to learn the lesson
through great adversely, aud I doubt if
the bottom has been reached yet"
