Coming Changes.

The dairy industry is undergoing some
very important changes. OF course the
farmer who produces the milk Is the
last man to be reached and modified,
but he is feeling the evolution.
The coming of the farm separator is
forcing some very decided organic
changes. For the present 1t is lowering
the quality of creamery butter, because
the farmer does not see clearly his duty
in the care and prompt delivery of the
cream. The farmer is the one who has
the most to do with the favor OF the
butter. He does not see that, or at
least thousands of them do not. Science
and invention have discovered new prod
ucts, or rather new forms for old prod
ucts IN the milk. Hundreds of cream
cries nowadays are taking the milk into
the creamery as of old and extracting
two products, policy bars the farmer out
of producing cattle and hogs. The real
ideal dairy farmer is one who not only
produces milk but who produces 1t 10
such way as to enable him to grow fine
| livestock.
The COW testing associations are TAX
ing hold of the education of hundreds of
farmers, teaching them more than they
lever knew before about their own cows.
This is going to be one Of the most i'm.
portant of the coming changes. Then
there is the testing for tuberculosis, the
building of sanitary stables, the King
system of ventilation, the adoption of
more humane and comfortable stalls,
the greatly increased number of those
who are purchasing registered sires, the
study of feeding problems, the intro
duction of alfalfa where the farmers
rever dreamed OF growing 1t before. In
the matter of taking better care OF the
soil there has been Q great advance
among dairy farmers. A hundred farm.
ers are thinking about the use OF phos-
phate whore there was one ten years ago.
All these changes which are coming to
the dairy farmer will affect the efficiency
and economy of his part Of the business
very greatly. It bshooves US all then
to make q strong. mental study OF these
"signs of the times" in order that We
may see what to do to preserve as good a
financial return as possible.-Hoard's
