Make the Dairy Pay.

MANY 'NiEy ray
There are 21,10i,000 milch COWS In
the United States-an average Of one
COW to four of the population. The
fact that there has been an increase
per capita Of the consumption Of milk
and a decrease Of cows per capita Of
the population indicates that there has
been an Improvement in the quality Of
the dairy cows OF the country.
In the decade of 1890 to 1900 the
average production of every dairy COW
showed an increase of 1000 pounds of
milk, or a commercial gain of $2l1,-
OOO,OOO Yet with this improvement ad-
being operated at loss. The life Of a
dairy COW Is estimated at seven years
ana her annual depreciation represents
one seventh Of her full value, which Is
taken into consideration in computing
the profits of the herd. If the dairy
man would ascertain If his herd is pay
ing a profit he needs to charge for the
help to operate it, the cost of the
1eeu, tne interest on the investment anu
tie normal depreciation Of the value
of the cows. All these items enter into
fixed operating charges and need to be
deducted from the gross receipts of the
dairy before profits can be computed.
The receipts of the dairy should not
only pay the operating expenses and
fixed charges but also leave liberal
balance for profit.
