American farmers are rapidly t1raing

past, well-managed farm can support
twice as many animals az formerly be-
cause o. the great saving Of labor. In
some communitios the farmers take their
milk or cream TO the factory and bring
back their skim milk to be converted into
pork. r within convenient distance. the
milk Is shipped 10 the cities. Dairylng en-
tails tedious work during every month Of
the year and every day in the week. early

gives such satisfactory returns. which T.
demonstrated by the large number OF

the list OF dariymen. The dairy farm pro-
vldes a market for the products grown,
and The dairy farmer need not utilize
anything that cannot be grown on the
farm. Dairylng gives the farmer greater
control Of his operation. and the work is
