How Business Man Started a
Farm.


one man went at it is described i'll
HOard's Dairyman:
The sooner IT is realized that farm
ing is a business proposition, the bet
fer If will be for the farmers. In
Rock Island County, ILL.,, it has recent
ly been demonstrated that good
business man with a liking for farm
work. is more successful than a farm
er who. is seemingly unable to grasp
a business. proposition.
The Tri-City PasturiZed Milk
Company. of Rock Island, ILL.,. was or
ganiZed TO supply sanitary milk to
the cities of Rock Island. Moline and
Davenport, and commenced buying
milk from farmers in 1901, paying
full butter value. plus SOC per 100
pounds for skimmilk and part of the
transportation. At first large num-
ber of farmers shipped milk. but the
number was diminished by the with
drawal of those who found milking
too hard work. but enough cOntin-
ued to provide Il sufficient supply I'M
der ordinary circumstances.
For time the company was man
aged by man who knew all about
milk. but lacked business ability. so
a man who knew nothing about milk.
but considerably about business was
engaged. In Il conversation with one
of the Dairyman's editors this gen
tleman said that his first discovery
upon going into the business was that
the price of the raw prodpct WAS con
trolled indirectly by the Elgin Butter
Board of Trade, while competition
limited the pice charged consumer.
In other words, ''bOth ends of the
string were in other hands, So the
business man commenced to think il
little Spring came and with it
flood Of milk. The surplus was sepa-
rated and the cream shipped to the
cOnpany's creamery and churned. the
butter being sold or stored. The
manager figured and figured. but the
best he could get was loss of nearly
$1,000 in the expense of separating
and churning, express Oh cream and
freight on butter. to say nothing of
interest Or other charges. And the
business man thought some more.
Then winter came
The business under careful mana ~e-
ment had increased, but the flood of
milk had disappeared and large Uuan
titles were bought at Il high price.
1t wasn't as good milk as the custom
ers had been getting and they COM
planned. Now. the business man had
not been waiting all this time for this
condition TO arise
1t had been anticipated through an
analysis of the situation in the spring
and every effort had been made to
meet it. Every farmer was interview
ed. over 800 LETTERS were written them
the profit of winter dairying was
quoted from the best authorities. the
injustice of expecting the company to
take all the milk that could be pro-
duced in the spring and summer when

seven months after taking possession
of the wilderness he chartered a spe-
cial train. invited a couple of hundred
fellow-citizens. and showed them the
cows and buildings as they appear
today. He bought some poor cows. he
saws. but most of us have, even when
taking more time to it.
Every good idea of milk production
has been put into effect on this farm.
1t is clean, pure and sweet from end
to end. BY rare good luck only five
tIfbercr1lar cows We're bought and
these were soon made way with. They

Only one cow has died, so he must

other good things that authorities

said: IF | have law question come

farm business | went to the man who

those who had stood still for forty
years They laugh at our white suits,
and when we kept the herd in on a
bad day, and when we put UP three
silos. and when we did lots of other
things that men smarter than said
were the right things to do, but
the results sustained us and now the
neighbors think an agricultural col
lege graduate may make good farm

be something in it. l rented that
place fourteen years and never got the
corn i'm two years that they got in

There should be some inspiration in
the experience of this Rock Island
concern for the young farmer. VI
course. they hard money and could
work fast. They bought some full
blood stock, quite a good deal of it,
because the man who was doing
things saw COW sell for 5000 ana
her unborn calf for $12o at Fargos
sale. But what they are doing on
500 acres anyone else can do in time
on 80 acres. BY the way, there is
another point about the farm they
bought 1t has $40 acres that is pret-
ty well wooded. and an old style farm
er said to the business man. Its
a fine farm. but it will cost fortune
TO clear that section The reply was,
Il have contract in my desk for sig
nature that will net us $1,000 from
he wood alone and every acre cleared
is worth twice what it cost us More
business.
The revenue from the calves, hogs
and chickens sold will pay for the
interest on the purchase price. This.
according to the figures of 1904. leaves
them the S39.OOO spent in that year
for milk and cream with which to
operate the farm Anything under
that amount is Il clear saving. That's
bow a business man started farm.

they did mant it. was fully explained
with the result that just two out of
over two hundred farmers produced
about as much milk in the fall and
winter as in the other six months.
Not another shipped showed any rea-
lizatiOn of the business opportunity OF
of the point of justice and fairness
involved.
All this time the company was
struggling along under the adverse
conditions and carrying a burden from
the DAYS of its earlier mismanage-
ment, and the business man kept on
thinking how to better the situation
and save the large investment. Dur
ing the time he had been manager
he had studied the milk question.
Then he called the stockholders to-
gether and said. ''YOur plan is all
wrong. You control neither cost of
the raw product nor the selling price
of the manufactured article. You are
absolutely dependent upon the ca
prices of the butter market and the
degree of responsibility that the farm
err feels to protect you.
Il have spent S2S,OOO for milk dur
ing the past year. and 11,oOO for
cream. Now | propose to produce our
own dairy supplies as far as pos
sible.'
One stakeholder asked: What do
YOU know about farming?" and the
manager produced Il bunch of Opin-
ions from the leading dairyman as to
the proposition he had submitted to
them. all alike The result was that
they decided to start the farm. The
manager resigned. went into another
business for himself; from which he
had taken enough time during the past
year to develop the Tri-City dairy
farm to this extent.
The spot chosen was an S0U-acre
farm. eight miles from Rock Island,
part timbered pasture. part clear bot
tom land. There was no barn for
cows. but one dwelling. no water sup
ply. nothing of any value, only
wilderness of weeds. Il dozen dilapi-
date sheds. broken down fences
loose hanging gates, Il choked well,
and condition of general demorali-
ZatiOn. Now right here is where the
best wisdom of the business man was
Displayed. He knew his own limita-
tiOns and got Il farmer He said. Il
didn't want an ordinary farm hand,
L wanted a mighty good Ole. with no,

knew he would need it when he saw

agricultural paper brought 80 an
Swers, from which three were chosen.
Two men had other positions before
they were asked to come on for i'll
spection. The third came, saw. and
was willing to conquer. The business
man says: Il may have done the
thinking. but MulinaX did the work. y
