COST OF KEEPING A COW.
The Results Obtained by One Man
Who Kept Record.

The expense of keeping a COW is the
cost of labor and feed As a rule the
labor is not included, but ! think that
is the most serious question, declares
{. .. Carlson, in Dairy Record When
we hire help TO milk and care for the
COW, we pay good wages and even at
That, 1t is hard to secure a man that
viii do the work satisfactorily 1t costs
to do the milking, whether the hired
man or anyone else does it, as a COW
that gives milk during ten months out
of year must be MIXED 600 times
This will take about ten minutes each
time, or a total of 100 hours
The stable must be cleaned during
the stabling season and that season
should be about eight months. This
will take about four minutes a day. or
10 hours year. Feeding the COW hay
silage and grain will take about seven
minutes day, or 26 hours a year To
water the COW will take about five
hours year. Separating and caring
for the cream, IA hours, hauling cream
to creamery, five hours This will
make a total of 166 hours per year
Now what does that labor cost us
when we hire a man? If we want
good one we must pay him s25 or $50
a month, together with board, lodging
and washing 1t will amount TO about
Is cents an hour, and l66 hours at this
price per hour would be $2490 But
when there is help enough in the fam
lily to do the most of this work, one
does not consider their time worth as
much, OF course, these figures may
vary in some instances, as in some
places it is much more convenient and
ii may not take as much time to care
for the COW, but consider that it costs
about SIS to keep a COW, and this COW
ers the roughage, etc. Farmers that
have no silage will necessarily have to
feed corn fodder, and of this, together
with the hay a COW will need four tons
during the winter. Hay at four dollars
a ton and silage at two dollars a ton.
The roughage will amount to $14 in
Guiding pasturage. The grain at last
years price will amount to about $21.

gether with the above feed, she will
produce about 5000 pounds of milk
and 240 pounds of fat Figure this at
rs cents and it will be $50 for the fat;
5000 pounds of skim milk at 20 cents
will be $40. Total Income $40; labor,
$25; feed, $685. net profit, $40
Now figuring on the profits from a
COW that is cheaply kept-$15 worth
of feed, and the cost will still be $40
and the labor $25 which will bring a
total Of S45. The best she could pos
sibly do would be $500 pounds of
milk 140 pounds of fat, which would
bring total of SAL, or a net loss of
four dollars directly and more indirect
ly. Why do we have so many unsatis-
fed dairymen? | do not think there is
any profit for a man who does not give
his cows good care as she figures
upon it.
