New Bern Sun .

New Bern Sun.
You are wearing out the vital
forces faster than there is any need,
and in this way subtracting years
from the sum total OF your life. This
rush and worry, day after day
this restless anxiety for something
you have not got is like pebble stones
in machinery-they CRATE and grind
the life out OF you. You have a
great deal of useless care-dump it.
Pull in the strings, compact your
business; take time for thought OF
better things. Go out into the air
and let Gods sun shine down upon
your busy head. Stop thinking OF
business and profit; stop grumbling
at adverse providences. You will
never see much better times in this
doomed world; and your most op-
perfume season is now; your happiest
day is today. Calmly do your duty,
and let God take care OF His own
world. He is still alive and is the
King. Do not imagine that things
will go to everlasting smash when
you disappear from this mortal
stage. Do not fancy that the curse
of heaven, IL the shape OF the vain
task OF righting up a disiointed earth.
is imposed upon you. Cease to fret
and fume; cease to jump and worry
early and late The time is coming,
but you can never bring it; God can;
can, and will; take breath, sit down
and rest, and take a long breath.
Then go calmly to the task OF life,
and do.

Saving the Dairyman's Energy


the average production of his herd
1O2 pounds of butterfat per COW. The
same can be done with every other
herd if as intelligently managed.
Nets $4,000 From so Acres.
Another man on 60 acres of land,
keeping % COWS and the young stock,
averaged the last five years $4,000 for
the cream alone, $500 for pure-bred
young stock sold, besides $500 for
hogs raised largely on skim-milk, max
ing the total receipts $4,000. He paid
$500 for feed stuffs, but he is begin
ming to raise alfalfa, and will not need
to buy feed.
The dairyman problem is in him
self. The inherent and fatal weak
ness of many people is that they
wholly ignore the really important
and decisive factor of success, viz,
trained and intelligent judgment,
based on sound theory and practice.
Oar most successful dairymen have
won, not by luck, but through intelli-
gent forethought.
Large Investment I'm Poor Cows.
Chief obstacles are lack of we'll
balanced intensive methods and not
applying business principles. The
milk producer must stop guessing
and know for sure what the results
will be and adopt the ways of most
profit. Large sums of money are
invested in many acres of land. ex-
tensive and expensive buildings,
costly harness, tools and machinery,
high priced feed and labor, and all of
this outlay turned to raising crops
that do not yield anything like the
amount of digestible nutriments per
acre that should and could be OBJ
tanned and to feeding and poorly
caring for a herd of poor cows ut
terly unable to return profit The
same expenditure of money and la
Dor bestowed in an intelligent man
ner upon the same farm and an eff
fcient dairy herd would return a
handsome profit.
'fNO Time,- Yet He Lost Three Years.
One dairyman produced $4,000
worth of milk from 90 cows or 500
per COW; while a neighbor bestowed
twice as much labor on 40 cows and
sold only $1,000 worth of milk or
S45 per COW. barely paying expenses.

! Professor WILDER J. Fraser of the
university. speaking at the state farm
ers' institute, made a strong argument
from a mass of evidence for a better
kind of dairying that would provide
home comforts and interest and hold
bright boys on the farm. Many a
dairyman could increase his profit ten
fold. as others have done, by simply
putting intelligence into his business.
Average annual production of cows in
United States, $50 pounds of butterfat,
loss of $1.40; average of some Illinois
herds, 325 pounds of fat, profit of
5000 per COW; there is no reason why
all herds should not yield as much if
they were as inteligently handled.
Bookkeeping has shown that the shift
less hit-or-miss breeding of scrubs
does not pay expenses. Remarkable
Improvement has come with the grad
ing up of dairy herds.
Herd That Loses $40 Per Cow.
This station has found by a full
years test of each individual COW:
Herd /, Is cows; average production,
124 pounds butterfat; has 10 head
producing only 40 to 149 pounds of but
terfat and each individual losing from
S15S to $27.52, while the best COW
made profit OF only $10.21, and the
net loss on the herd was $112.39, or
an average of $40 per cow. This is
a deplorable state of affairs-a man
trying to support family with a herd
utterly unable to return a profit. why
test cows?" No man would conduct
losing business if fully aware of 1t.
Herd 2, SO cows; average produc-
ton, PA pounds butterfat; has but
three head on the losing side and the
average profit is SIS per cow or a to-
tai of S540.11 above cost of feed and
labor But herd 3, containing only 13
COWS. averaging 326 pounds of fat, did
more real business. for every COW re-
turned profit of from $22-66 to $69.70,
a total of $553.S4, and an average of
s42.60 per COW. On SO acres of land,
with practically no expense for pur-
chased COWS or feed, the owner is
making with his herd a comfortable
living for himself and family. He is
an enthusiast, and in four years this

while the first man made proht OF
over $1,000. Yet the second man said
/ he had no time to spend a few min
utes each day weighing and testing
/ the milk from each COW. Instead,
he spent four long weary years in
raising and harvesting the crops on
a 16O-acre farm and feeding and
milking 40 COWS to make as much
profit as his neighbor did in one
year with half the cows, half the
lands and half the labor.
A dairyman with a poor herd re-
ceives quite a large check at the end
of the month and he may fail to dis
tinguish between receipts and net
profit. This delusion has been the
cause of many a failure.
All over this country are individ-
ual dairymen whose success is not
iceable. One dairyman lost a 800.

Dor this is the dead line IS, 00J pounds

profit--four times as much. Ten cows
averaging 5000 pounds of milk, are as
profitable as 40 cows producing 5000
pounds. The cost of keep increases
but $35 per COW from 1900 to 10000
pounds of milk given. yet the income
increases $115, or over three times as
rapidly.
One-third OF the million COWS MIXED

the dead line, every one losing the
owner money. All the profit not eaten

States is worse than wasted.
Not Township at the Top.
Not a single county, not even a
township. in any state has yet come
anywhere near reaching the maximum
of milk production. One farmer in
Illinois had eight COWS which on an
official test produced last year 1853
pounds of milk per COW. The milk sold
at cents PEI quart and brought s575
per COW, or q total of s4,55S.
