ments tell more than Mr.. Crabtree
could have told in long speech, for
those who know Mr.. Crabtree's meth
odical accuracy in keeping his records
know that they are practically correct.
He himself explained that there was
an error in one months record due
to his not having the exact figures
when he made the table, but the error
was $40 under the exact figure.
Mr.. era btree says that 20 acres of
pasture fed 30 head of cattle during
the summer. He did not feed any.
thing else, but in that he believes
now he was mistaken and another
summer he will feed his milk COWS
besides what they get in the pasture.
Mr.. Crabtree also emphasizes the
need of being gentle with cows. Kind.
ness pays, he says, with milk cows.
One should not allow himself to ever
be nervous or excited when working
among the COWS, "but, he adds, 81
will have to admit that some of the
young heifers when being first MIXED
are very trying. One has to force
himself to remember that it is prob

Crabtree always breaks in the heifers
to milk, himself. He believes a great
deal depends on how they are started.

one of the largest and best crowds ever
brought together in the vicinity.
With the very generous assistance
of the young folks who took part and
the way in which the crowd was taken
care of by the women folks at supper,
a great deal of credit is due. In fact
everyone did their share toward the
success of the entertainment, and wish
to thank all, and hope that the same

To Make Dairying Pay
CAT STATE DAIRY MEETTNG.)

B. T.. Crabtree, OF Lynden, was as
signed the subject, "How to Make
Dalrying Pay" Mr.. Crabtree is
owner and manager Of probably the
largest Jersey herd in Northwest Wash
inpton. He is modest man and
makes no pretensions as speaker
vet he told many interesting facts ano
gave many good reasons why his herd
was paying. The delegates and others
we're interested in his remarks
Following are some of the figures ano
ideas presented by Mr.. Crabtree:
1t was, Mr.. Crabtree thought, al
Stanwood, several years ago, at 6
similar convention to this that he
got his first inspiration to become
owner of full blood herd, and Prof.
Elliot, who preached the need fol
dairymen to get good breed of cows
and start right in their business was
the inspirator. He made start two
years ago last spring. He bought q
full car load of full blood Jerseys
from herd at Yakima. He disposed
of all other cattle on his place.
At the one time and all at once be
changed from scrub breeder to a
full blood breeder. In the first herd
there we're Is heifers and COWS and one
bull. Since that time he has purchas-
ed only one bull, making his total
purchases am cunt to II head.
In his herd today he has 43-head OF
full blood Jerseys, every one eligible
to registry. Besides the 49, head he
has sold four cows and ten young
bulls. So much for the increase OF
the herd. But do his full blood Jerseys
pay?
Mr.. Crabtree shows in table here
given that the smallest returns for
any one of his COWS in the year just
closing are $87. The largest returns are
S137.
There are other dairymen who show
as large or larger returns per COW for
their whole herd tEan Mr.. Crabtree
shows, but it must be embered
that Mr.. Crabtree's herd is not yet a
selected herd. He is just beginning
to weed out the less valuable COWS,
and to breed up for better milk pro
ducers. He frankly admits that he
has made many mjstakes-tha he
hash It gotten the best possibI returns
from his herd, but he as frankly
states that he is making the improv.
ments as fast as he knows how.
Yet, Mr.. Crabtree shows that his
herd is paying him an average income
per COW, net, amounting to 1924
That there may be no mistakes the
Tribune has copied the figures giver
by Mr.. Crabtree from his notes. They
show first the records of the individual
cows as copied fom his barn records
second the dairy product values, thirc
the averages and last the cost of feec
