Short Farm Talks

In opening this dairy series of
short talks want to say word
to the farmers of the state.
l am going to write on dairying
largely. through these winter
months. 1t is one of the coming
certain things in farming, and I
shall speak directly to the point
about it's advantages, and Of its
dangers.
For there are dangers in dairy
ing. The farmer can lose money
there as surely as he can in any
other line of business, unless he
makes a study Of its business side.
With dairying goes rotation of
crops. Prehaps the reader may
prefer to say that with rotation
of crops goes a little dairying.
They belong the one to the other.
The maintenance of crop yields
calls for stock on the farm, and
no form of stock will return larg-
err or surer profits than will the
right kind of a COW, rightly
handled.
So this dairy series will deal
with crop rotations, with the
effect of manures, with stock,
breeding, seed grain, with all the
business of farming. Only for
few months we are to look at
the farming business from the
standpoint Of the man who keeps
COWS as part Of his money-earn.
ing investment.
l am not writing these alone.
The best knowledge and practical
experience of the school is being
called upon in this work. l hope
that we shall be able later on to
reprint these talks as an extension
bulletin but as there is no certain
ty about that. l would suggest
that you save them as they appear
from time to time. They, to.
gether with the longer articles
that will appear in your paper,
will constitute one Of the most
practical bulletins ever issued by
the college.
Another word: Questions will
come to your mind about one thing
or another. l am confident that
your editor will be more than
glad to talk them over with you.
He has been trying loyalty to
help you, and his time and money
is going into the column you are
reading now. He will be glad to
write me about anything that you
may wish especially to get from
us, and l shall be equally glad to
give it prompt attention.
And if you are interested in
better stock. better yields. better
roads, better returns for the crop
you have, tell your editor so.
am sure he will appreciate it.
Sincerely yours.
Hugh ]. Hughes.
