The herald-advance. (Milbank, S.D.) 1890-1922, 1902-04-04

At a meeting Of the Montreal Dairy
and Cheese association a resolution
was adopted authorizing a circular to
the dairymen Of Canada strongly ad-
vising them to turn their attention to
butter more generally and to discontin-
ne the manufacture Of cheese entire
each year after Nov. l. The reasons for
this course are that fodder cheese on
the market reduces consumption, and
It IL only grass goods that are of a
quality sufficient to increase demand;
that the consumption Of cheese is d.
minishing, while that of superior
creamery butter is increasing; that the
price Of butter is higher on ar average
all the year round than that Of cheese;
that the manufacture Of butter is more
profitable than cheese. These are all
good reasons why the Canadian dairy
men should make less cheese and more
butter.

II she turns her feed into milk and but
ter fat, she is a good COW. Ii she turns
1t into tallow, she is a poor cow from
the dairyman's standpoint.
II our correspondent will follow this
plan, he will get more butter fat from
his cows, but not richer milk. His COWS
will give more milk than they would IL
poorly fed and every 100 pounds Of
that milk will contain just as much
butter fat as is natural for a given COW
to give. IL she gives 3 per cent milk
and only 100 pounds a week, the milk
will contain three pounds of absolute
butter Fat, or about three and a half
pounds of butter. Feed her so she will
give double the quantity of milk, and
that milk will give double the quantity
Of butter fat. but will not be richer
than the smaller quantity. The, way to
get more butter fat Is to feed the COWS
better. Just what it is best to feed
them is a matter on which learned doc
tors disagree at this moment. Howev-
er, it Is safe to feed them enough, even
II the ration is not quite balanced.
