Vermont Story Of Bishop Hall and a
Negro Who Wanted to Join Church. ?.
At a recent dinner which was at
tended by number of clergymen,
President Buckham of the University
of Vermont told the following of Bish-
op Hall Of the Episcopal diocese Of
Vermont, in response to some good
natured chaff about the liberal views
of the Congregational church and the
ease with which almost anybody could
join it. r..
He said he had heard of a negro
who had many times applied for mem
bership in ST. Paul's church at Bur.
lington, but had not been able to sat-
isfy the bishop that his state OF mind
entitled him to admission. The negro
had been advised to+pray that his
spiritual condition might improve.

plication. The bishop said to him:

THE PROFIT AND LOSS
\. 4. ~. z: N OF DAIRY FARMING
Gull Out the Herd Provide Good
= c1ous1y Are Three Cardinal Points
r. A.Pe

Ir anyone as=d0ubts about the possi-
BILE profits of dairy Sfarming, he should
visit some of our famous dairy dis:
tricts where, the cow is on every farm
and her product is the chief one sold.
Go. to st. Lawrence Scounty, New York,
county that produced on it's dairy
farms in the last census year $685.
265 worth of dairtt t.products.
In that county TIE dairy farmers are
prosperous, farms ARE improving all
the time and theirsValue is constantly
increasing. Mortgages are exceptions
al. The dairy farmers are money
lenders instead Of borrowers. :. -
Or go to Jefferson county, Wiscon-
sin, with it's $1,24159S worth of dairy
products from farms in a single year
and see the splendid farms and homes
that the dairy cow has made possible.
Many other large sections similar to
those referred to- could be named. Also
thousands of individual farms scat
tered all over our country are we'll
known to be in the successful class.
And we must admit that sad fact
that very many men and women are
carrying on farm; +dairying at e loss.
Reliable statistics show that the~prod-
uct Of many dairles are worth less
than the feed and scare given to the
cows. '~~.' '"
1T is not uncommon to find whole
herds maintained at loss and it is
very common to find individual COWS
that are improbable.
Now, the point that I wish to make
The Cook County herald. [volume] (Grand Marais, Minn.) 1893-1909, 1906-08-11

in this short paper is not that all
dairies should be operated at profit
or that all, COWS should be profitable to
their owners.
: These things are impossible. But
the point is that it is not necessary
for any man or woman of intelligence
and pluck to carry on dairy farming
at loss.
I cannot: reveal any new and start
ling discoveries by which losses may
be suddenly changed to gains. Some
persons are waiting for this kind Of

Certain conditions must prevail.

neighbors who are engaged in manu-
featuring or are in the money mar
ket fight among themselves for the
advantage of a fraction of one per
cent. which often means the differ
ence between profit and loss. And
authorities tell us that in many dis
tricts tuberculosis is still spreading,
and the only reason for it's continued
spread is our neglect to heed available
knowledge of the dread disease.
A. veterinary officer states that tu-
berculosis causes losses in the fol-
lowing ways: (1) The ruin and
death of cattle. (2) The waste Of
cattle food. (3) Interference with
breeding. "a Transmission of the
disease to other animals as swine.

to the reputation of herds.
Tubercnlin in the hands of a skill
full person is reliable agent for de-
tecting the presence of the disease.
But even of greater value is the
proven fact that the spread Of tuber-
culosis in a herd is much less rapid
In sanitary stable than in an un-
sanitary stable, such as is far too
commonly seen on our farms.
The day of the dark, damp, I'm.

tuberculosis, it reduces the vitality
