The Farm Cow,

The real butter maker of the coun.
try is the farm COW whose milk never
goes to the creamery. This COW is
least often heard from, because she
Is less in the light of public observa-
ton than the COW that is producing
milk fer the creamery. Yet, the total
amount of butter made on farms in
the United States is far greater than
the amount made in creameries.
So our greatest hope still lies in
the COW that gives milk for the max
ing of farm butter. The spirit of i'm
provement is abroad and there are
multitudes OF farms on which good
cows are taking the place of poor
ones. 1t is impossible to estimate
how great this improvement is. A
farmer that has thirty cows said to
the writer last week, MY cows made
$50 pounds OF butter last month
(March) and think am doing pref.
ty we'll, - only 20 of them are giving
milk that can be used for butter.
making. That 10 about pound per
day Of the cows giving milk, and we
nave the by-prOductS to help swell the
profits"
That mans herd six years ago was
doing only half rs we'll as - above
statement would indicate, but the man
has been selling his poorest COWS and
replacing them with good ones right
along.
UP to the present time the good
farm COW has not been appreciated,
and for this reason her price has
not been much above that Of tho poor
farm cow. But change is going on,
and the time is not far distant when
SO many farmers will be looking for
profitable cows that the extra mixer
will bring a fancy price at any time
OF year.

A village has it's growth and develop,

The farmer while not absolutely DEEPEN

much benefited by its existence a few

We are all much indebted to the men
who four years ago laid the plans fol-
the first of these annual picnics. Their
hope and belief was that the gathering
would help to unite into one friendly
body the workers and home builders
living scattered over these miles OF
prairies. Each year since, as this pic
mic has been brought about, it has
strengthened the ties that bind us.
