better or are not discriminating
enough to know anything better
or requiring enough to pay for
anything better. The dairyman should
educate himself to some extent in the
matter of markets and marketing. And
as it is impossible Tor the dairymen
to be in close enough touch with mat
tiers of this sort, he must depend upon
a good, reliable broker for his educa-
ton; take sort of course, in other
words, from a correspondence school
conducted by his broker on the sub
ject of marketing.
The first essential, of course, is to
look up a first class broker, one who
can be depended upon and one in
whom the dairyman can feel and i'm
pose confidence. This is, indeed, the
most significant step in the course of
scientific marketing. A good broker
will put his customer in touch with
high class markets, markets that will
appreciate his goods and pay high
price for them accordingly. If you
are going to work and slave and study
on your farm the method of producing
high class products, you do not want
to lose the benefit of all you have

care of the stock, and getting the best
results on the farm. The dairyman
oftentimes will be a first class bust
ness manager for the dairy farm. He
will exercise good business judgment,
be capable Of economical management
and of obtaining good results, and will
utterly overlook the matter of the
scientific marketing of his cream to
such an extent that he will lose as
much or more money in this return
of the business as he might by ne
glecting the earlier details in way
which he would consider inexcusable
business policy.
First there is the class of market
to consider. This should Immediately
resolve itself for the producer of first
class dairy products, into study of
how to find market that will be in
keeping with the quality of that which
he is producing. For instance, the
dairyman does not wish to make an
effort continually to produce the very
finest cream from his dairy farm, and
then have it reach second class mar
kets; markets which are used to hav-
ing only second class products and
therefore do not look for anything

pairyinq and Soil Fertility.


We are coming to recognize dairy
ing as one of the greatest aids in
keeping up the fertility of grain farms,
and, through many of the older Sec
tons in Iowa where grain growing
has been going on almost exclusively
for twenty or more years, farmers are
turning to the dairy cow as the sal
walton of their lands. Prof. G. l.. Nc
Kay says on this subject: while the
dairy business is increasing in Iowa
we are not making the advancement
that we should. 1t was my privilege,
during the past summer, to spend
some time in the coast states lectur-
ing on dairying / was surprised and
astonished to find the progress that
these people were making. In Oregon
dairying has increased 500 per cent
during the past five years, while the
output of butter has almost dubbed
during the same time, in California.
Probably the principal reason that
these coast states is that these people
have been growing wheat for years,
thus robbing their soil of nitrogen,
phosphoric acid and lime, until the
land has become so impoverished that
it will not produce wheat. I saw land
wheat per acre few years ago, and
out there that they told me would not
produce over eight or nine bushels Of
it is now producing from twenty to
forty bushels per acre. This change
has been brought about by farmers
adopting dairying. A ton of wheat
will remove $3.50 worth of fertilizing
material from the soil, while a ton of
butter will remove less than so cents
worth. Today a ton of wheat has
market value of $22, while ton of
butter sells for $500; therefore, it is
only reasonable that the intelligent
farmer should dairy"

A Uniform Test for Cows.

Chief Webster at Washington, and
also many of the experiment station
men, are endeavOring to formulate
universal government plan for testing
COWS, this plan to be adopted by all
the different dairy breed associations.
AS it is now, things are in very bad
shape. Records made by the Holstein
people are repudiated by the Jersey.
Records made by the Guernsey peo-
pie are repudiated and laughed at by
the Holstein, etc. This is a very I'M
wholesome and unwise condition. 1t
breeds only distrust in dairy bred cat
tie.
The great issue in this cOuntry-not
in the east perhaps, but here in the
ransmississippi-is not one breed
against the other but is mainly to get
farmers to use dairy stock for dairy
purposes. That is the great fight, and
the war among the breeds is only
tearing down and destroying the work
the breeders are trying to build up.
Besides, certainly, we should have an
official testing method that would
stand for all breeds. What would you
think of different breeders of race
horses that would take no stock in
records made by other breeders. No
one doubts the record of Dan Patch,
Maud S. or Lou Dillon. 1t should be
the same with the records of great
COWS.
