When q farmers stock seems TO be
all Of one mold, and that good one,
there are dealers ready to take them as
a lot, and al the owners price. A first.

The entire manurial product of the
dairy herd kept at Cornell University
station was kept in covered barnyard
during one winter. Samples were taken
from time to time and analysed. The
results based upon the market price OF
the then principal fertilIzing ingredi-
ents showed the manure Of the herd
to be worth per COW per day see cents.
A COW that produces 2.325 quarts
yields within fraction of 5000
pounds. A good COW should produce
b,0o0 pounds Of 3.7b to 4 per cent milk.
At 8 cents q quart the cash value Of
5000 pounds Of milk Is S6076. With
good farm management such COWS
should be kept for $40, which leaves a
profit above the cost of the feed OF
