Much Of the profits of dairying is
eaten mp by the cows. A single COW
may be all right in appearance. and
even in quantity of milk yield. and
yet she may be merely an expensive
luxury; her feeding and care weighing
more financially than her butter pro-
duct. Every COW should be carefully
tested, not only as to amount of butter
yield, but as to the amount of feed she
requires to make it from. The test
should involve careful weighing of
feed as well as butter, and cows that
10 not yield a reasonable profit should
be weeded out

plenty of sunshine Good sash will be

The frame for the hotbed may be
made about four feet wide and as long

is strawy horse manure. This should
be placed at the bottom of the frame

to the amount of heat required. This
should be packed down and covered
with several inches of good soil from
