Poor Cows Are Unprofitable

Thomas P. Cooper, expert in farm
management at the agricultural COL
lege and director of the demonstra-
ton farm movement in Minnesota,
has issued bulletin summarizing the
experience of years of investigation,
in which the statement is made that
any farmer maintaining COW whose
butterfat yield is less than 200 pounds
a year, or 5000 pounds of milk, is
doing so without profit. The bulletin
is the first of it's kind to be issued in
Minnesota and is the strongest argu-
ment ever presented for the bringing
up OF the standard of heads and
maintenance of high-bred stock, and
is believed to be one of the most valu-
able contributions ever made to the
literature relating to the great dairy
ing industry of Minnesota.
Seven years of investigation was
necessary to obtain all the informa-
ton on which the conclusions are
based. Three communities we're Sc
lected, one at Mortified for south
eastern Minnesota, another at
Marshall for southwestern Minnesota,
and the third at Halstad in north
western Minnesota, where the dairy
ing industry is not so Important, but
where it is increasing. In each vici-
nifty eight to ten average dairy farms
we're selected. Everything connected
with the industry on every farm was
taken into account, and all farm
equipment was inventoried at the be-
ginning and end of each year. Grain
and roughage used was checked by
"route man" employed, and to
guard against possible error the
figures were reverted and rechecked
again and again.
The result is compilation of costs
that has been worked out scientifcal-
~ and compared with production.
Professor T. L. Haecker has estimated
that the average production of butter
fat per animal in Minnesota is 142
pounds and the average milk pro-
duction $3.50 pounds year. Pro-
lessor Cooper's figures show that on
that basis the average Minnesota COW
is being kept at a loss, and that profit
IN the dairying industry is to be
found in the gradual wedding out of
the lOW-grade stock and the hrinoinp
up of the standards of herds.

An Antidofe Aan1x

The woman was the author Of cook
book that had been published at her
request with wide margins and occa-
sional blank pages for notes and ad-
ddonal recipes. Often she had ex-
pressed wish to see an old copy Of
the book and find out to what use the
blank spaces had been put. One day
in a secondhand bookstore her hus-
band unearthed an old volume. No.
tcing that it had been annotated free
~, ne bought it. After a day or two
he said:
How about the notes in that cook
book? Were they Interestingly"
NO." she said CURLY; they didn't
amount to anything"
When be got a chance he looked
through the book himself. Every note
the book contained was a remedy for
dyspepsia and stomach trouble.-New
