are true to themselves and to nature,
and as long as the member from AL

Some Good Reasons Why Dairy
Farmers should Keep No Others
In Any Circumstances.

The chief difficulty in making dairy
farming successful is the gre at number
Of cows that do not pay their keep and
whose products are always sold at a
loss. If one-tenth of all the cows
owned were fatted at once and sold for
beef it would remove from the market
the surplus butter and cheese which
are now keeping prices too low for
profit. Prices might be temporarily a
little higher until the stock of the best
cows can be made large enough to sup
ply the demand. Then. with prices no
higher than they have been. and per-
haps not so high, all dairymen would
make money. Getting rid of the poor
est COWS viii also do away with most
Of the inferior butter. When a farmer
knows that his cows are not paying he
grows careless and often uncleanly in
the dairy. When his butter is found to
be inferior he is apt TO blame il all to
his luck, and thus. instead Of trying TO
improve, making matters worse The
best way TO arouse such farmers to bet
ter methods is to increase the mi !. and
butter capacity of their cows. When
they secure cows that they can feel
some pride in they will be likely &c
take pride in every part Of their busi
ness American Culi!yator.
