Twenty-Five OF thirty years ego It was
held " many dairy WRITER'S that out
side Of what they deaixnatsd q the
dairy bslt dairyins could not in this
country be made . success. The suund-
psss Of that claim in . few years after
hrst made was aesiously Questioned
and Q few years later The claim aban-
doned.
It 10 safe to say that nowhere in the
United States either climate or latitude
stands In the way u successful dairy
ing In any or all Of its branches. OF
course climate. latitude aud other ma
tural conditions are favorable to 1t any.
where In the Dominion Of Canada.
Now while dnirylng Il adapted to all
sections OF this country, It wOuld hardly
be possible tO lay down rules for con-
Quoting 1t, that In oil features would
be equally applicable to all. Yet for
all, save few extreme southern states
and the Pacific colxt, system Of dairy
ing coud be suggested that would In all
features. or nearly all. be applicable.
OF course when 1t comes to the mat
ter Of feed for dairy herd, that is
one Of the parts of q general system Of
dairying that must be varied accord
Ing as adaptabilty Of crops for different
sections vary.
Dairying Is now pretty generally rec
ogllixed as almost necessary factor
in anything that can be correctly called
diversified farming. And ut this time
the tendency in this country lie more
than ever before In the direction OF
that system of farming.
As apart Of any system Of actual
farming great deal eau bc urged In
favor Of dairying and but little said
against It. 1t Is true there are trials
10 be endured aud difficulties encoun-
tered In the pursuit Of dairying, but
no branch Of agriculture IL free from
either.
Time and again 1t has been said and
written that In order to make sue
cess Of dairying every step from the
breeding and rearing Of the selection
of the herd to the marketing OF the
product must be correctly taken. 1t
will, however, bear saying again and
again. For 1t Is only by repeatedly call
ing attention to truth that 1t will be
recognized by many, as such, and
0uOpteQ III prdctlce.
OF the three principal products of the
COW, milk, butter. cheese. those engaged
In dairying must decide each for him
self which one Is best adapted to his
conditions.
II one IL located near large village
Ur city the producing of milk to sell
direct to consumers may pay better
than that of butter or cheese, either
directly or Indirectly. The same can
be said Of one located on a line of rail
road ON which is established milk
route terminating In a large city where
tho milk goes into the hands If dealers.
The branch of dairying now under
consideration, milk production, Gun be
subdivided. For instance some milk
producers sell skim milk and cram
instead Of whole milk, selling the form
or for what 1t Is, and at about half the
price Of whole milk. Generally those
that do 80 do not try 10 raise nil the
cream, thus furnishing skim u,ilk of
better quality than that from which
cream has been raised for butter max
ing. OF course every milknan could
not sell skim milk and cream, but q
certain proportion Of them can, and
make 1t pay
In the skim milk and cream I, adc the
market for the latter nm Ike Increased
by supplying manufactnr of ice
cream, hotels. restaurants, sodI fcun-
tains and caterers.-Western Jl,lral.
