BUY THE BEST COWS.
With Cheap Animals You Can Never
Make the Dairy Pay.

In increasing our herds or In replac-
ing those that have been culled out the
average productlveness is often kept
down by our strong inclination to buy
cheap cows instead of good ones For
example, a COW that will give, on an
average, a gallon of milk the year
around will cost, we Will say. $50; one
that will give one and one-half gallons
will cost $780, and one that will give
two gallons will cost 500. We know
that the expense of keeping each of
same, and for the purpose OF lllustrat-
ing this point we will say that 1t costs
$41.20 to keep each a year.
Pays Expenses Only.
We find therefore that If the milk
tests 4.5 per cent butter fat the one
gallon COW will produce about 1913
pounds Of butter which at % cents per
pound Will bring S412O. The one gal
Ion COW therefore pays expenses exact
ly, but not cent interest on the In
vestment. The one and half gallon
COW, which costs $50 to begin with.
makes a profit of $1,000 a year, while
the 500 COW. giving two gallons per
day. makes profit of $41.20 year.
Therefore which would you prefer to
do, invest 500 In one cow that will
produce a profit of S41.60 year or in
vest 800 I'm three COWS all Of which will
not produce a cent profit in the year?
This Is an illustration of the exact con-
dition that exists In many of our herds
today, and until we dispose OF those
thirty dollar boarders we can never
make the dairy pay, no matter how we
feed them.
Above all things. keep behind your
herd with the milk scales and with the
milk sheets, and no dairyman should be
satisfied until his herd will produce at
least an average per cow OF pound
of butter or two gallons Of milk for ev
cry day in the year.-B. Ii. Rawl, Unit

BUTTER TO SELL.
When Summer Markets Are Flooded
With the Farm Product.

Usually farm buttermakers can Sc
cure premium above the average
market price by selling the butter to
private customers who have regard for
quality In products of this nature.
IL the maker is compelled to take
his butter to stores he usually has to
take the average price given for but
ter regardless of quality. a fewsstore-
keepers will recognize certain lines of
butter as being superior to others and
will pay more for them, but usually
not as much as can be obtained by
private marketing. In most localities.
particularly during the summer
months, the markets are flooded with
farm butter, and the prices are very
unsatisfactory. The maker who is de-
pending on the stores for the sale OF
his butter usually has TO accept the
current price, while If he has worked
up a private trade the chances are that
he has a market that will give a uni
form price throughout the year-Eds
win II. Webster.
Pleased and Paying Buyers.
One thing should always be borne in
mind by the person who is making but
ter to SELL The butter is for somebody
else to eat, and II is for your interest
to make ii to suit them, whether 1t just
suits your taste or not. Habit has a
great deal TO do with our likes and dis
likes. You may have been accustomed
TO sweet cream butter. If so you prob
ably like that best. Or you may have
got used to eating butter made from
very ripe cream and the butter not
washed to expel the buttermilk, caus-
ing IL to have very decided flavor and
taste, and so you look upon fine, deli
cate favored butter as lnsipid Or you
may like little or no sailing or high
sailing, light color or high color But
all this is OF no consequence. 1t Is no
matter what you like. You want to
make 1t to suit your customer. and you
want your customers to be those who
are able and willing TO pay good
price for what suits them. If the Gus
toner wants sweet cream butter, make
II; If unsalted, make 1t so; II he desires
il high sailed, salt ii high. and so on.
Always make ii the same for the same
customers. They are getting tastes
formed which you can make 1t protita-
BILE to crafty. If one Is making butter
to put on the general market he wants
to make what that market demands
and will pay the best price fore. Z.
