VERY dalrynan should look forward
r. toward having n more profitable herd OF
IL cows next year than this year. not nee
csSarly more cows but better cows. How
many have herds that will average more but
ter than your fathers herd did. perhaps
than did your Grandfathers herd?
You can't depend altogether upon the
raise In price of land for your profits not
only because many do not own land, but be-
cause I'm many localities land has reached
price that most of the money To be taken
from this source has already been made 1t
takes better farmer TO make money on
500 or $3.50 an acre land than it does on $40
an acre land
The task OF bulldin. up profitable dairy
herd must begin with the sire. Without
pure bred sire. with the ability to get calves
capable OF producing milk and butter fat
economically all other efforts To improve
your dairy herd must fail The skillful
breeder OF any class OF live stock realizes
the importance Of having properly selected
sire To head his herd. The average dairy
man. however. gives This important subject
little thought and makes use OF a scrub sire
because Of the Idea that 1t is cheaper to do
so. or because his father got along all right
with a scrub sire and he himself has not
given the matter much thought The scrub
sire and the Improbable go hand in
hand in retarding dairy progress; where Is
found one generally is found the other. II Is
not necessary that every farmer have pure
bred cows of a dairy breed In order to have
a profitable dairy herd for high grade are
just as Efficient producers
The following shows very distinctly the
rapidity with which the qualities OF the sire
accumulate In the high grade

Importance of Farm Finances

THE fundamental facts upon which the
L problem of farm finance rests arc the cost
and the selling price OF farm products; that
the cost OF farm products is measured and
determined by three factors-U interest on
the Investment. CD labor Incidental to grow
ing, harvesting and marketing the crops and
90 soil fertility removed by the crops; and
that farmers in the United States are not
prosperous Tor the reason that they have to
sell their products Tor less than they cost
them.
Taking the average yields and cost per
acre OF corn. oats wheat and timothy the
cost per bushcl of grain IL shown TO be 81
cents, % cents and Sl.0l respectively. while
n ton OF timothy costa the average farmer
tll.15 TO produce. On the other hand the
average prices received by the farmer are
35, 2S and 40 cents, respectively per bushcI
for the grain and $3.50 per ton for the hay
In tho estimate OF the cost Ia reckoned tho
loss of potash. phosphoric acid and nitrogen
removed by the crops. which dcpletes soil
fertility, the value OF which the average
farmer seldom considers. The probIern Of
