In a paper read before the Pennsyl-
vania Live Stock Breeders association
L. p. Bailey, president of the Ohio
Dairy union, said:
Discouraging as the conditions have
portrayed seem, yet see much in the
future to encourage the intelligent dali
ryman. This competition has caused
those continuing in the business to put
more thought into the work. Dairy
schools now exist i'll many states, do
ing Il grand work, teaching better
methods in the manufacture and care
of dairy products, feeding and care of
dairy stock. The agitation of the Circuit
bill last winter was a campaign of ed
ucation, enlightening the public in the
practices of the oleomargarine dealers.
Whether the bill passes this congress
or not the results will be beneficial to
the dairy interest. Those best inform
ed think the bill will pass. The future
dairy farmer must make his products
so wholesome, quality and conditions
so attractive, as to defy competition
with any imitation. The imitation can
not equal the perfect genuine article.
The consumption of milk and cream
is rapidly increasing in our cities,
drawing supplies from large sections
heretofore producing butter and cheese.
Good quality means good prices. The
best means the greatest success. 1t is
the privilege and duty of dairymen to
demand of our legislative bodies ade
quate laws that will protect our just
rights, but our first duty is to make
every effort that care. science and skill
can do to improve our products and
place them on the markets in an at
tractive form. Then they will com
mand remunerative prices, assuring
larger profits than most other agricul-
tural interests.
A Choked Cow.
Last fall one of our cows was found
to have become choked on an apple.
relates J. r. Cass in Prairie Farmer
We at once procured a piece of rubber
hose of the right size and after pouring
down half a pint of oil inserted the
tempted to force the obstruction down
But, as we expected, the hose was
worthless for the purpose, as it would
double up, not having sufficient stiff
ness. By chance we thought of using
a common buggy whip for the purpose,
and with this well smeared with soft
grease we succeeded in few seconds in
pushing the obstruction down, and the
COW was relieved at once. No instru
ment, we think, could be designed thai
would be as we'll adapted to the pur-
pose as an ordinary buggy whip with
rawhide center. 1t is just the right size
and shape, being pliable and with nc
danger of breaking it off in the strug-
Cling of the animal to relieve itself
from choking.
The Best Milking Machine.
Miss Ebba r. Hallborn, a charming
young Kandiyohi girl living near Will
mar, Mimi, recently won prize of SIC
offered to the young woman who coulc
prove she had millled the greatest num-
Der of cows from Jan. to Oct. l, 1901
Miss Hallborn MIXED 10,2G0 COWS
within the period named. an average OF
nineteen cows twice day. She is but
sixteen years old. What need of milk
ing machines when Ninnesota's daugh-
tiers can make such a record as this?-

The Dairy In South Dakota.
The growth of the dairy industry in
South Dakota for the last decade is one
of the agricultural marvels of this
country. Some idea of its extent ma!
be gained from the fact that in the
month of August last the creameries OF
that state took 9,532, 962 pounds of milk
from 1929 farmers, for which they
paid $40, 1914.
