IspAIRYINa oyERpoNE?

Poor dalrylng IS Oveldone put gO0(
dairying is not. This is about as cor.
rect an answer as occurs at this time
The number of COWS anywhere can.
not be increased only at about Ger.
tain ratio each year. Those who keeI
cows for dairy purposes keep small
herds as rule, and until a successful
milking machine has been produced
and comes into general use this condi.
tion will likely continue.
Of course, there are some large
dairies in this country where cows are
kept by the hundreds, but such herds
are rather rare exceptions, and a good
proportion of them are kept by milk
men not far from large cities. These
he ds are kept up by purchases, and
the owners of them can be more prop
erly called milkmen than dairymen.
They are not 1airymen in the true
sense. They do not raise their herds
nor the crops on which they are fed,
but depend mainly on purchase of feed
used. Most of these herds are man.
aged very successfully, and by nen
who give the business intelligent at
tentlon. There is little danger of the
milk business, as it relates to large cit
les, being overdone. But if at any
time it should be those in it on a large
scale near cities can get out Of it very
easily by disposing of their herds.
Those who are distant from the cities,
who have been furnishing milk for
milk routes, can easily change to some
other branch of the business, such as
butter or cheese making.
The real question whether dairying
is overdone or likely 10 be overdone,
applies to those dairymen who haye
for years been growing up herds for
dairy cows, and to all farmers who
keep few cows. and who can each
year, if they choose to do SO, increase
them up to the capacities OF their
farmswhich capacities will be con-
stantly increasing if the right system
of dairying is correctly conducted.
One great thing In favor of dairying
is that the real profit consists in not
seeing how many COWS farm will
keep, as much as in seeing how much
can be produced from each COW. These
dairymen who practice the best meth
ods, and get the best results, cannot be
driven out Of the business by an occa.
si0nal depression of prices. The man
who makes his small herd of say six to
twelve COWS produce as much butter
or cheese as his neishbor who keeps
nearly double that number, will not
say anything about dairying being
overdone, because his products, cost
him less, and, as result he gets more
for then., pound for pound, than the
dairying who is keeping double the
of cows.
The result will be that the man who |
does not succeed in dairyiDg will 60
out Of the business; either that or i'm
prove his methods.
In addition to our home markets we
have good markets abroad, provided |
we furnish good dairy products. How
ever, our home markets can be greatly
enlarged by the same means, and the
additional means of producing a great
Or variety of dairy products. This
last reference is mainly to the differ
ent variety of cheese that can be pro-
luced, aud uch varities as will create
! greater demand for cheese among
American people.
Doubtless the dairy interest has suf-
'ered more from bogus dairy producst

coming, although its progress is neces-

state inventor who has spent much time
on the picking machine, is still at work
and continues to see success in the near
future. He has good reason for sanguine
expectations, for he has already a ma

 We hear from good authority that "Jimmy the Trailer" and . number of the Bisbss Hoods" went down the valley today on . dacking expedition. We always knew that Jimmy was good on trailing turkeys bus never knew his talent extended to ducks before. Jimmy has about 300 shells in his possession and, if perseverance and persistent shooting will accom- plish anything, he ought to get few of the birds. We hear that he has romised part of bis killing to cer- tain young lady and suagest that she send wagon down II she wants the portion he promised her.
