The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1906-01-01

One exercised his ability; one man is
a student and the other is not.
hold that we must make ourselves
good farmers. The help thrown out to
us leaves no excuse for poor farming
We have heard that the man who
makes two blades of grass grow where
there was one before is benefactor
Now, as farmers we have the oppor-
tunity to make four or five blades grow
where there was one. That is our
opportunity, and I submit 1t to you.
Your farms are not producing more
than one-fourth of what they ought
to. and it is your work to make them
produce the other three-fourths. This
involves a study of several questions
that it takes us as farmers whole
lifetime to solve and then we are
perhaps young in the business. Just
as long as we have a farm not pro-
ducing what it should we have lot
to do. Institutes bulletins, etc., are
all assistants. That is one OF the
fundamentals, and without them we
are farming in the air.
Next is the question of feeding our
dairy herds. We hear a great deal
said about intelligent breeding, but we
dairymen, as class, are placing too
little Importance on the feeding ques-
ton and too much on the breeding
question. That is my experience. /
can endorse all that Mr.. Paulhamus
said about farming as far as my ex-
perience goes-the soiling proposition
is the true proposition for us to work
upon.
Nine-tenths of the dairymen of this
state underfeed their stock. Too Of
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1906-01-01

money. Seven-tenths of us are men
that work without capital. Our bank
account may never exceed $50 or $500
and it is this kind of farmers that
must study fundamentals. First,
dairyman must be a good farmer to
be a successful dairyman. There is
no use trying to be a dairyman with
out the principles that make farming
a success.
It is true that many farmers in this
state, in western Washington particu-
larly. are not producing more than
one-fourth of their capacity. How are
we going to get the other three
fourths? That is the question for
dairymen. You are not going to do 1t
unless you exercise Jour abilities,
whatever they may be. Your ability
as farmers will vary. One farmer may
be making butter at a cost OF seven
or eight cents per pound The man
adjoining may make his at a cost or
twenty cents The explanation is the
cost of farming. Their land may be
the same, but one man understands
his business better. We make various
excuses but the real, true explanation
is: One man is a better farmer, and
that is all.
Some men are so constituted that
they are everlastingly studying and
working and are thoroughly interest
ed in the development of their work.
Why, they hardly spend time to do
their marketing. They are entirely
wrapped up in their business success.
Some men can leave their business
and think no more about it than they
have to. The difference is plain.
