BIG GROWTH IS SHOWN
In THE DAIRY INDUSTRY

EVER since that day, nearly three
II centuries ago. when a spotted calf
went for a walk through the fields Of
a Massachusetts Bay colony. and 30
laid out the first street in New Eng
land, old Brindle and her family have
been Of much importance In the do
nestle and commercial life OF Amer.
Tea. This Is the cows only recorded

OF the great milk. butter and cheese
supply of the nation they have
series of long and successful yearB
back OF them
The dairy industry OF the United
States is a congenial study for those
who like statistics. The growth has
been tremendous. There are more
than 2l.000,00O cows MIXED in the
United States every day, each gives
$500 pounds OF milk a year, making
the annual output OF this country
about 10000, O00.000 pounds of milk.
II is disposed of In various ways. A
little over half OF It is required for
the making OF butter. 1000. 200. 900
pounds Of II goes into condensed
milk, 5000. 900, 600 into cheese, and the
rest is sold as cream, fed TO the
calves, or divided among the people OF
the country, each of whom should re-
ceive seyen-tenths OF pound OF milk
a day-a good.sized tumbley full.
II the cows were all told or and as
signed 10 specific duty in this dairy
products business, 100000 of them
would be required to furnish the milk.
condensed milk and cream; 10000 900
would contine their attention solely
to butter, and would each be expected
TO furnish l5lls pounds a year; s40,-
600 would be assigned to the cheese
industry, and the remaining number
would have the raising of all the
calves.
AS each individual in the United
States is supposed TO eat 20 pounds
OF butter each year, the Brindle fam
lily cannot quite supply It, so we still
import something like $4,000 pounds
10 make up the deficiency One-third
Of the nations output Of butter comes
from the farms where $500 900 farm
ers and their families. still churn IL.
pack It In flrkius or tubs and deliver
Il to the nearest shipping point. over

Chicago. New York. Philadelphia,
| Boston and st. Louis are the great
butter distributing centers OF the
country. Shipped by express, or
freight, by boat or rail, the butter
reaches these points at all seasons
OF the year and is Immediately put In
cold storage TO await the demand. a
continual temperature OF from 20 de-
