FAIRFIELD COUNTY
BETHEL
DOES DAIRYING PAY,

Does it pay our farmers to keep
thorough bred stock on their farms
and see that they are we'll taken care
Of? This William Ellis, of the Ellis
Wood Working Co.. has been trying,
the past year, to demonstrate to him
self on his farm and the figures and
facts have not only demonstrated that
it does pay to himself but will also
prove to others who sit down and
carefully think the matter over. Mr.
Ellis has kept the past year, from jan
uary l, 1905 to January l, 1906, nine
thoroughbred jersey cows from which
he has made nearly $500 pounds of
butter. making an average of little
over 3O0'pounds for each COW. The best
COW in the herd made AIS pounds in
the year. The COWS have averaged
him $85 each for the year and the cost
OF feed and care for each COW was $50
each, leaving him $35 profit on each
COW. Mr. Ellis is busy all the time at
his factory SO he is not able to do any
work on bis farm and has to hire it all
done, all of which he figures in on the
COWS. Mr. Ellis has kept careful &C.
count and these figures are actual
facts. The s35 on each COW is net
profit to him. 1t is his aim to i'm
prove his herd all the time. He ex-
poets next year to have his cows aver
age him 800 each for the year. Mr.
Ellis is glad to have any of the farmers
call and see his stock and he will prove
to them that it pays to keep good
stock and take care of the same.

the statement that the late Pierre

that he would Investigate the matter,

it, he would take the necessary steps
to recover the Inheritance tax due

would be liable. In some respects
