As fairly good dairy COW will pro-
duce 5000 pounds of milk per year,
which, sold at cents per pound, the.
prevailing price, makes $50 per year.
From given ration she will consume
and we will charge the COW for full
ration for 365 days two and third
hons of cowpea hay, valued at sos;
i've tons Of ensilage, valued at SO;
two tons corn slower, valued at $40.
and one-third ton cottonseed meal, val
ued at So, grand total Of $50 for cost
of food for one cow that produces $50
worth Of milk. Besides this you have
cowpea hay, which you have sold for
S12 per ton,= corn ensilage at So and
corn slower at SIS ton in form Of milk.
And then the manure! All Of it but
1850 returned to your soil. If dairy
Ing does not pay now, it is because the
machines are worthless is, the
COW which takes the raw material (as
corn stover, coWpea hay, etc.) to make
into finished products, as milk and but
ter, is worthless. Use a good bull,
then, to breed up the dairy stock, and
as soon as this is done dairy stock will
improve and dairying will become the
most profitable industry in the middle
south-more profitable than cotton
growing or cotton manufacturing.
