II the prime object is to produce tile
greatest quantity OF milk of the best
quality and at this greatest profit from
any given number OF COWS within n year,
the evidence is overwhelming that the
should be managed so as to calve
in the autumn months. For like reasons
September is the best month, in most
parts of the country. for a lieifer 10 drop

a cow, and this almost regardless OF the
age Of the ANNA! at first calving.
Calves born in the fall are easter reared
and make better COWS lliau those born
in the spring nr summer. 1t seems
needless to reheafse the stock arguments
on this subject. based upon the long tx
perience Of Of successful %dairymen. but
a brief recapitulation may be useful.
The COW or heifer calvlng in the fall
needs the most healthy and nutri-
tious pasturage just following the
strain and while coming into full flow.
Just at the time when some falling off
is likely to occur the animal is brought
to the stable and receives good care; the
winter feeding and the returns from it
may be depended upon to exceed the
midsummer results for any like period.
At the stage of milking and Of gesta-
ton. when another dropping Off in milk
Weld may be looked for, the fresh pastut-
age induces a fresh flow, lengthens the
milking season. and increases the years
total product. December and January
are good months in which to control and
supervise tie service OF the bull. Md
summer and dOgdays are a good time
for the COW to be dry and prepare to
calve again, and a most Improbable
and annoying time to make milk or
handle N. The greatest product aud the
richest comes at the season when milk
and butter are always comparatively
high in price. In actual practice. four
fall-fresh cows have been found to equal
five which calved in the spring, in II
months product, and at about four.iifths

AS almost every stock raiser knows
scOurs is apt to follow overlooking OF
skim-milk TO calves. A good remedy is
laudanum one ounce, cannella bark
powdered, one ounce, chalk four ounces,
rain water four ounces. Shake well
and give three tab%lespoonfuls three or
four times a day. Scald the milk also
and be sure that it is perfectly sweet, as
we'll as the vessels in Which it is fed.
Place course bran, whole oats and q
little iinseeh meal where the calves can
eat it.
Figure what profit YOU can make in
ten years with twenty to thirty cows
with free hay and pasture, milking no,
less than fifteen of the COWS and moi
selling any of the increase until at least
three years old. You can take the mill
to the creamery or make the butter a
home. When you have it figured out

Ii creamery butter is better than aver
age dairy butter it Is because the man
agement at the creamery is upon
higher scale than the average private
dairy.
successful creamery must not onl
have a successful manager and butte
maker, but a guaranteed supply of goo
sound milk OF cream in sufficient guam
tity to utilize the capacity of the cor
Germ. The more cows the greater wi
be the per centage of profit. Nor ca
the butter maker alone control the qua
itY Of the butter product.
Poor, dirty milk cannot appear later i
the form Of tirst-class butter. The ski
and intelligence. indispensable at
creamery must extend out among tn,
milk producers. For the highest success
under a cooperative system each indlvlt
nal must put forth the same effort tina
would be required for success in prlvat
management. Dairymen who Join

more than they give are hardly deser
