DAIRY DATA NEEDED.
Records Locate Profit and Loss and
Help the Feeder
BY CLARENCE B. LANE.

BY CLARENCE B. LANE
The condition of the farming indus
try as seen ON the average farm points
to the need Of better business methods
and more definite knowledge of the
sources Of profit and loss. In no de-
partment connected with the farm is
there more need for absolute data than
in the dairy.
The records Of progressive and un-
progressive dairymen indicate that
there is no business which shows a
greater range Of profit than that of
dairy farming. Investigations of cream
cry patrons illustrate this most strik-
ingly and show that one dairyman fire.
quently makes double the profits of his
neighbors.
Good judges believe that one-fourth
of the cows of the entire country kept
for milk do not pay the cost of keeping
and nearly one-fourth more fail to
yield an annual profit

cows form the only accurate and safe
basis for judging their value 1t is the
constant aim of progressive dairymen
to improve their herds. and such inn
provement must depend largely upon
culling the herd and getting rid of the
Improbable animals. From the breed
ers' standpoint records are especially
valuable in assisting in finding Gus
toners for their stock Many buyers
insist on seeing records Of dairy per-
Torrance before purchasing.
A record is also Of great help to the
feeder. If he knows exactly what d
cow is doing he can prepare the ration
accordingly and often feed more eco
nomically. Again. a daily milk record
enables a dairyman to detect the APP
proach of sickness in cow and thus
to take steps to ward it off,

people are homeless and the entire

commodations for most urgent finan-

institutions are being obtained only

stating correctly that domestic and
business affairs demand their entire at

the ordinary current duties such as
pertain to the coroner's Office and vital
statistics are largely neglected for lack

used to rob him of his strength and
were very troublesome to deal with.
He never seemed to care for anything
Tor his breakfast until l tried Grape
Nuts, and have never had to- change
from that. He makes his entire break
last of Grape-Nuts food. It is always
relished by him and he says that 1t
satisfies him better than the ordinary
kind Of a meal.
Better than all, he is no longer
troubled with indigestion or nervous
