= Farmers Discuss Dairying and Truck
: hg.-At the last meeting of the Fallston
IL Farmers Club the subject discussed was, Gre
AQlved that it is more profitable to increase the
{ dairy to the full capacity of the farm than
have smaller dairy in connection with truck
INV. S. B. Preston said: clarifying will
add more to the fertility of the ground than
trucking. We could attend to an increased
dairy without extra help, which could not be
done If We combine trucking with it.. Truck
farmingis continually draining the farm. l
believe in demonstrating effort in the dairy"
Mr.. ]. ". Moore said II do not know,
practically the working of the combination.
There are canners who combine dairying with
canning. IL man is going to make dairying
his business it would be difficult to take help
from the dairy to aid in trucking"
Mr.. B. w. Amoss thought the dairy the most
profitable. He would increase that branch Of
the business.
Mr.. Edgar Preston said: with little
more help the dairy could be increased and
the farm would not need fertilizers to the ex-
tent which trucking would demand.
Mr.. w. G. Hoskins said: 'As things are
now Mr.. Preston takes the right view of it.
At one time, when hay and bran could have
been purchased at cheaper rates, trucking
could have been made profitable; truck sold
well and it would pay to sell the truck and buy
feed for the dairy stock. Now, the prices for
and you run great risk in making the ex-
change. Either raise your own cows-and it
pays to do it-or buy better ones, if you have
to sell two to buy one, and keep a good BULL
as like begets like"
Mr.. Bradbury was in favor of the dairy and
spoke of the great Importance of weighing the
milk of each COW, as it would be an incentive
to keep better cows. He gave an interesting
description of the management of Rev. MIR.
Dietrich's famous fifteen acre farm, upon
which thirty cows are kept and there is still
hay to sell. Ensilage is fed throughout the en-
tire year. 120 tons of enslage having been Sc
cured from four and one-half acres.
Mr.. Charles E. Burton said: IF you intend
to continue dairying increase your herd until
it is large enough to consume all of the pro-
ducts of your farm. would favor the dairy,
as trucking is uncertain. Prices may be high
one season and low the next. Keep good stock.
1t is better to have one good COW than two
poor ones"
Mr.. VIM. H. Harlan said: IL think that at
this distance from the market it is better to
keep all the COWS the farm will support WE'LL
Trucking will necessitate the keeping of
larger team, and it will prove more laborious,
with uncertain results. If man is situated
so as to keep dairy, and has good custom
for its products, he should not combine the
two"
