EuTrER AND EGGS.

There always has been and always,
will be good money in the production Of
butter and eggs. These are two staple
commodities the demand for which al
ways equals the supply and usually
exceeds it. If the farm under present
management is not as profitable as 1t
should be, get the COW to make II
more so, for If properly cared for she
will invariably help put man on his
financial feet and improve the farm
while she is enriching the owner. Dairy
communities are always prosperous
communities. II land Is worth $25 per
acre, the cow can alone assist in making
the working Of such land profitable.
The highest priced land of Europe, in
the Netherlands and IN the island of
Jersey are dairy farms. Then take
eggs, farm product which carries a
larger margin Of profit than any other
commodity the farm turns out, farm
industry which requires but mini
mum Of capital to start ssnd one which
is possible and profitable on all farms
in all places. Modern methods Of pre-
serving and holding eggs have doubled
the price Of them during the season
when they are produced in the largest
quantity. and the competition among
the cold storage men to secure them is
greater than with any other farm
commodity. An eighty acre farm can
easily carry IL cows and $50 hens.
The cows, If Of the right sort, can be
made to bring In an average Of $50
each and the hens 81 each. Here is
$1,000 to be had from these two sources
alone. saying nothing about hogs,
calves, bees, garden and orchard stuff

same truth applies to its use for milk

AS we note it. the majority Of men
who take up the business Of feeding
cattle for the beef market make a fail
ure Of 1t in the long run. There is a
science about this business which only
the few seem to possess. In one western
community fourteen farmers thought
they could most profitably operate their
farms making beef production spe-
cialty. Only one had dollar to show
for profit ut the end Of ten years.
Most of them. while they had made a
living. had been obliged to incumber
their farms. some Of them to the limit.
The mistakes they made lay in the
line of paying too much for feeders or
too much for corn. but more probably
In the line Of injudicious selection Of
the type Of animals fed. The one man
who almost without exception made
money on his beef cattle raised high
grade Hereford steers himself, fed
them as baby feed and marketed them
when year and half old. The fact
is when a man buys four and half
cent poorly bred three-year-old steer
and tries to fatten it on fifty cent corn
be is tackisng problem which can
only resalt In loss.
