Does Dairying Pays
The question, Can butter dairying be
made to pay? is fully answered by the
fact that it is made to pay whenever it
is conducted on business principles,
which include the making of good
butter, says Dallas Farm and Ranch.
Any farmer near enough to a market
can get % cents per pound throughout
the year for all the good butter he can
make 1t is not profitable to make fif-
teen cent butter or any other grade
than the best. In every Texas town
large quantities of creamery butter
from Kansas and elsewhere in the west
is sold readily for 30 and often 30 cents
per pound, and this butter is not fresh,
but from one to two weeks old, when
it reaches the consumers. The trouble
is that many farmers think they know
how to make good butter, but are mis-
taken, and, thinking they know how,
make no effort to learn how. Their
butter is slow sale at a low price, and
therefore those who make it are of the
opinion that only creameries can make
butter at profit.
Ohio Dairymen.
The Ohio Dairymen's association held
its most successful meeting at Colum-
bus recently, says Stockman and Farm
er. The attendance overtaxed the ca
pacity of the spacious hall, indicating
increasing interest in the dairy bust
ness. The association is planning work
of broad scope of usefulness for Ohio
dairymen. It proposes to hold dairy in
stitutes, furnishing the instructors free
to such localities as manifest sufficient
interest in the work. 1t is planning to
send out instructors to creameries and
cheese factories to improve and make
more uniform the products of the state.
And it hopes to place its reports, full of
the valuable things of the annual meet
ings, in the hands Of the dairynen of
the state. In all of this work the broad
minded and big hearted men who have
built I'D and are carrying on the asso-
citation deserve the support of the
whole dairy industry of the state. They
can do most for those who unite with
them. Ohio dairymen owe it to the
progress and welfare of their business
to join and support their state associa-
ton.
Kansas Dairying Thriving.
The patrons of the creameries in the
central and western part of Kansas,
which includes the larger number of
the stations, are reaping the greatest
harvest from their cows that they have
known in the history of the industry In
Kansas, says an Abilene correspondent
of the st. Louis Globe-Democrat Ow-
ing to the combination of cheap food
for the cattle, large demand for the
product and improved processes in
manufacture they are receiving a most
generous return from their herds 1t
was but a short time ago when the
creamery was merely a resource for the
farmers who had been suffering losses
of crops and were in financial straits.
There was in the monthly pay checks
an ever present help in their time of
trouble, and they considered the COW
as a makeshift to tide them over the
hard years.
That time has passed for Kansas and
Nebraska. The creamery has become
permanent institution of every pro-
cressive community and is as common
a part of its development as is the little
white schooIbouse
