The first official announcement bv th
Census Bureau relative to the censu

January, was made by United State
Census Director Durand yesterday. wbe,
he issued summaries giving the prelimi

details for 1904. the year Of the last cen

The census was taken under the super

It was required, wherever possible. that
the report for any establishment should
cover the period OF twelve months ended
December 81. 1859. whether It was I'm ac-

period or not. Where. however. the busi-

correspond 70 the calendar year, the data
were secured FOR such completed business
year as corresponded most nearly TO the
calendar year 1863.
The summary for the private establish

creases ranging from : to 60 per cent.
without any offsetting decrease in any
part OF the general advance.
The most significant gains were in the

With all the great advantages that
dairy farming presents, It has without
doubt its disadvantages, and many OF
them, so that the farmer who antici-
pates entering dairying as business
must not do so with the idea that
there Is nothing to be found In the
business except profits. AS a matter
Of fact, there are, comparatively
speaking. very few farmers who will
make out of dairying the greatest
profits that are to be found therein.
Kind Treatment Necessary.
The dairy COW Is more nearly an
artificial being than any other AMI
NAL to be found upon the farm for, as
q matter Of fact, there was a time
when her whole and sole duty was to
beget a likeness of herself and pro-
duce milk In quantities only sufficient
ly large for the sustenance of her OF
spring and often for period Of only
ave or six months, when the youngster
was weaned and compelled to work
out his own salvation on the grasses
Of the prairies. But realizing the OPP
portunities for developing the ma
ternal instincts in this individual AMI
nal, man has taken and developed her
to the point where at the present time
we find that she not only reproduces
herself but she also supplies milk in
quantities sufficiently large to raise
her offspring and supply to her owner
q large and profitable amount Of milk
and butter.fat daily. In bringing about
this change in her makeup, she has
become more delicate and more sensi'
tive to the treatment which she re-
ceives, and It rests within the power
Of the owner rather than in the COW
herself to increase or decrease
In a large measure her profit
through care, feed and attention. kind
or cruel treatment and proper or i'm
proper methods Of handling. II the
farmer realizes that 1t is not possible
for him to be content with confine-
ment and detail work 1t is better not
to largely increase the dairy business
which he now has upon his farm be-
cause the success of the business
rests with continually working with
the COW Sundays as we'll as other days
and taking care of the small things,

vidual cows to be found in any one Of
the four particular dairy breeds than
there Is to be found between the
breeds themselves as a whole. There
probably has been in the past place
for what might be termed the dual
purpose COW, and likely in the future
there will be some such place. It Is
not likely, however. that the man who
has given the matter thorough con-
sideration and study and wishes to
conduct his dairy farm on business
principles and from the standpoint Of
the greatest possible net profit, can
be lured into the belief that he should
install upon his farm dual purpose
cattle or animals having the power
perhaps to produce fairly good re-
suits from the standpoint Of milk and
butter production and fairly good re-
suits from the standpoint Of the pro-
duction Of beef calves. Now, 1t is
possible undoubtedly. to select cows
Of the beef breeds that will produce
during the year an average Of from
100 to 200 pounds of butter. More
often, however, It is found that such
a herd produces more nearly an aver
age Of 100 pounds Of butter than 200
pounds; and, then, Of course. the
calves from these cows, being bred
along beef lines. II raised and cared
for properly, will prove fairly profit
able from the standpoint Of beef pro
duction. II is the buyer Of beef that
always advises the farmer to use dual
purpose cattle for his farm and dairy
rather than beef cattle, because he
realizes that the time has come when
1t Is Improbable for the farmer to
keep a COW for the entire year solely
for the production Of calf; but 1t Is
possible, II she produces in addition
to q calf which may be valued at from
S. to SO, 100 pounds Of butter.fat
which at this time is worth nearly
$50, that she may be and probably Is
a source Of real profit because, kept
under the very cheapest conditions,
her feed may not cost moro than $50
end 1t may be estimated that the calf
is worth $40. Now, II grade calf,
from the standpoint Of beef production
can be valued at more than $40 at the
time 1t is born, would like to have

some one advise me. There are thou
sands Of them being sold that do not
bring this much money and there is q
possibility Of their being bought for
less than SO and placed upon the
farm and raised and fed into remark
able beef steers. This being the case,
It is the height Of folly to give the
COW any more credit for the calf she
has produced than SO. It is not q
question Of what the calf Is worth
when It is sold upon the block, as to
the value the COW has been to her
owner, because in all likelihood the
cost Of the animal at the time II has
reached q marketable age has been
very nearly all that he can be sold
for In advance Of SO which we have
given him credit for being worth at
the time Of birth.
Now, the question is, can the farm
er or dairyman AFFORD to keep a COW
all year that viii not produce him
more than from 100 to 200 pounds Of
butter fat for the purpose Of produ-
cling a $40 calf? This is q question Of
real Importance and one that should
be solved by every farmer In deter
mining which breed of dairy COWS il
best for his purposes. But this Is not
the only allurement presented by the
dual purpose COW; there is another
that IL Of real value In dollars and
cents, and every dairyman has been
advised that the dual purpose COW,
after she has served her period Of
usefulness In the dairy, can b fatten-
ed up and sold for beef and viii bring
probably SO more as q Gamer than
will her sister, the dairy COW. Now,
the period Of usefulness Of q COW IL.
or should be, about ten years, 80 that
this means the beef COW Is more val
liable by 81 per year than Is the dairy
COW. Adding this to the valuation we
have ascribed 70 the beef calf, We
ind that the dual purpose COW. pro
ducing an average Of from 100 10 900
