Discouraged Dairy
men.


of our territory. There is in
many sections literally no pas
ture. The hay crop is short.
Dairymen who wish to keep up
the milk flow and who do not
have summer silos have been
Obliged to resort to winter feed
ing in many sections. The flies
have never been worse. The
weather has been extremely hot.
Labor has been scarce. Many
hired hands cannot milk at all;
others dry the cows up, and all
are more or less unwilling. The
farmer has to do the milking
himself or persuade his boys to
do it. Working all day in the
field and then milking cows at
night and early in the morning
is very apt to make a boy look
townwards and conclude that
farming is a mighty poor busi-
ness.
Shis is an old, old story. It
has been repeated many times in
the experience of farmers, and
will be repeated many times in
the future. The result will be
that a great many farmers be-
Come disgusted, as they have in
the past, and conclude that after
all dairying is not what it is
cracked up to be by experiment
stations and agricultural editors
who do not have to milk and
fight flies. Many dairymen may
conclude that the better way is
to sell the cows, buy an automo-
bile and take the whole family
riding in the evening instead of
worrying his life out milking
COWS.
The result of this in the past
has been to drive out of the busi-
ness those least fitted for it and
keep up the price of butter. If
you will examine the ayricS!taz-,
al statistics for the last twenty
years, or thirty for that matter,
you will find that the number of
cows per one thousand population
is less variable than that of any
other class of live stock. When
seasons are favorable, when the
fly troubles not, when pastures
are excellent, when the hay crop
is good, the number of dairymen
increase, and we should have a
correspondingly. low price for
butter fat and butter, were it not
that seasons like this drive a
whole lot of men out of the busi-
ness and make it better for the
rest.
From henceforth the man who
wants to dairy with profit must
revise his methods. He must
guard against just such seasons.
He can do it if he will simply
make a thorough study of the
whole problem. He must cease
to depend on pastures as wholly
as he has done in the past and
must provide himself with a sum-
mer silo. This was not possible
thirty years ago; but in the last
ten years it has been clearly pos
sible fot the dairyman to smile
even at seasons of drouth and,
so to speak, to laugh at the flies.
Farmers even in the driest Sec
section this year, who have sum-
mer silos, fill them up with corn
and keep their cows in a darken-
ed barn in the daytime, feeding
them silage away from the flies,
and turning them out at night,
will not only have much more
comfort, but will receive an
abundant reward.
DairYmen must learn that they
cannot do full days work in
the fields and then milk twenty
COWS at night and morning. The
days work must be shortened.
dairymen must be made a main
