The Dairy neiL
The so-called dairy belt that we
were wont TO hear 10 much about In
years past proves to be a fallacy.
Wherever there ~ good grasses aud
good water. good butter can be made.
II was once contended by dairy writer's
that the dairy belt was confined to
the East. ami that dalrying could not
be made a success In the West Now
the West ~ the greatest OF oil dairy
sections OF this vast Union. Aud there
was once time when the West
preached the doctrine that dairying
could not be made n success In tho
South. Note the condition Of the South
today with her thousands Of registered
cattle and her tens Of thousands OF
grades These cattle are certainly not
kept for breeding purposes alone, They
are butter producers. important tac-
tors In building up the agricultural
wealth OF our Southland. They are
money makers for our farmers aud

The Average Cow.-The census
claims that there are over 1880 900
cows 10 the United States. aud ostl.

slider that a good many cows Yield
from 100 TO 400 pounds per year. we
must conclude that there arc a very
large number that yield FAR below l3O
pounds. else the average would not be
reduced to that figure. Il goes with
