I~as attending stock meeting
the other day when one man rose up
and said that he had raised alfalfa
for fifteen years and had fed 1t to
his sheep all that time, and he had
come to the conclusion that alfalfa
is worth no more for feeding purposes
than oat straw. Such statements are
exceedingly rash and can but hurt the
reputation Of the men that make
them. We know something about the
value Of oat hay for feed and know
that an animal cannot eat enough to
keep in good condition, let alone put
ting on flesh There are great many
men that have been feeding asalfa.

A Good Example.

The protection Of the milk supplies
Of cities naturally comes under the
control Of the board Of health. nnt
few of the men composing city boards
of health take the trouble to inform
themselves Of the real conditions sur.
rounding the production of clean ana
dirty milk. The example of one
Canadian city is worth following The
city Of Ottawa sent its milk inspector
to the Ontario agricultural schoo,
at Guelph to take a course in
the production and care of milk. This
is certainly step in the right direc-
ton. An inspector SO Informed Is
worth more than half a dozen men
who do not know what are the best
ways Of handling this important food

goes to the daughter Of the woman

ised to walt for him. When he be-
came wealthy, as wealth was counted
in those days, he journeyed back to
claim his bride, only to find that she
had married his brother. Without a
word he returned to Iowa. When his
father died, leaving a considerable
estate, Ae refused to take any share Of
it because his brother was admins
traitor.

We notice in a dairy exchange
statement to the effect that the aver
age production Of butter per COW in
Holland last year was 400 pounds. The
statement may be correct and it may
not We cannot help feeling that it
is little too high to figure as an
average The average production OF
butter by the cows of any country is
generally very far below a good aver
age. Cows that win produce butter
fat to make 400 pou,.ds OF butter per
year are very scarce In this country
and we assume they are somewhat
scarce in every country.
There is no doubt that the butter
average win some day be brought up
to that point. It is a standard worth
working for. and the nation that can
attain It viii be rich. BY dropping
out the poor cows and getting better
ones constantly, the average will in
time be brought up to a point, where
dairying will be profitable both for
the individual dairyman and for the
nation
AS the world advances in civiliza-
tion more products OF the dairy COW
win be used. The demand for cream
is greatly on the increase in our west
ern cities and the dairymen that have
good cream trade find il far more
profitable to sell their butter fat in
that way than in any other. This is
an inducement to raise the standard
Of production.
The man that gets down to the
point Of finding oui what the average
production of his dairy cows Is takes
the first steps to increase that aver
age He can mark this COW and that
COW for the slaughter as soon as her
milk yield reaches tie point In its
decline where cost and receipts are
approximately the same. There are
good cows being slaughtered annually
and these should be saved and added
70 our dairy acsds.
