North Bend, secured excellent results from
his COWS last year. The average number
Of COWS MIXED per month was 26, from
which he received o.74s.4l pounds of but

of butterfat per COW. He received from
the creamery for his cream total of
So, 7o6.oo, or an average of $1o4. per COW.
MIR. Mcdonald has an excellent herd of
COWS and it is evident from the figures that
he has obtained the largest possible returns.
There is profit in dairying, and it is the
experience of such men as Mr.. Mcdonald
that encourages others to build up good
herds and give them the proper care and
attention
The above shows the profits Of dairying
and should be of interest to our readers at
this time when creamery talk is aglow.
