Cooperation
There Is no other phase OF farming

suits of cooperation % Is dairy farm.
Ing It Is very simple operation. but
Dne that pays great profits. Farmers
establish their associations, elect their
pfiicers. build and furnish their cream
cries, hire the buttefmaker and man
ager. and set ABOUT manufacturing
their milk or cream, az the case may
be, into butter to ship to the large
markets OF the world. Just so long
az these farmers cooperate and re-
main together. the success Of the
creamery is assured. There are no
middlemen's profits to pay and 1t Is
q case OF direct from the producer to
the consumer. The success OF the
! creamery. OF course. rests largely with
Z the disposition and ability OF the d.
rectors. the manager. the secretary

course. are liable to occur In any bust

the reason why the farmer will tell
you that he is feeding less cattle and
hogs than he ever has before.
Intensive Conditions Build Up Dairy
Farming.
Because of the intensiveness of the
conditions that tend towards success
full dairying. we find small farms more
largely run along dairy lines than
large farms.
M This is another reason that will
probably bring about dairying In the
future more than 1t has done in the
past. The great increase In the popu-
lation Of this country such as we find
developing at this time. will render
conditions much more extensive and
naturally tend to divide up farms
either in their ownership or the man
ner in which they are being worked.
1t may possibly come about that we
will have more extensive land owners
even than we have at the present time,
or, in other words. more capital gain

In the feeding of beef cattle the
farmer must obtain and place In his
lots. cattle from 80 days to six months
before he can expect to realize his
money and profit out OF them and the
crop he is feeding them. 1t is fact
that to produce a pound Of beef. with
the price Of corn such as It is at the
present time and has been for the last
two or three years! and probably will
be for years to come-in the neighbor-
hood OF IS cents per pouna-so that
when he Is compelled to sell his cat
tie for from SIX to eight cents a pound
there is certainly nothing to be gained
on the beef which he has placed on the
carcass. His profit, OF course. comes
from the fact that there is supposed
to be margin between the buying
price and the selling price. and there
must be in order that there be any
profit. Formerly. all feeders agreed that
even when corn was selling for from
rs to 35 cents per bushel. a margin
Of one cent per pound between the
buying price and the selling price was
necessary for profits. Evidently the
margin must be greater today even

There was a time when one could
live in a location where dairying would
not pay. AS matter OF. fact. we have
seen the time when 1t was very doubt
full whether or not there were great
profits to be made in dairy farming
such as were at that time made out
Of the growing of grains or the feeding
OF other classes of live stock. AT
those times milk and butter fat were
commanding less than half the price
that they are at the present time. and

though 1t must be realized that in
steer feeding large profits are made
from the hogs that are being fed at
the same time. The steer feeder real
lies that when he buys his animals
for the feed lot he must see into the
future and know to very close degree
of accuracy what his animals are go:
