T0WNSHEND
A Successful Farmer.

About five years ago, before leaving a
town in this state l sat with one of the
most prosperous and optimistic farmers
/ ever met and he related to me how he
had acquired his success. MY dairy
consists of 80 cows, a few of them thor
oughbreds and the balance grade Hol-
stein Friesians. These cows gave 1S4,32S
pounds of milk from April 1, 1905, to
April 1906, or 6144 per COW. This milk
was delivered to the cheese factory in
summer and to a creamery in the win
ter / also received for calves $15S, maxi
ing a total from factory, creamery and
calves of $2051.41, or $6S.3S a head. My
profit from hogs was 5000, which, OF
course, l would not have had If 1 had
not kept the COWS. These cows were
not fed anything during the entire year
but good hay and ensilage during the
spring, green grass during early summer
supplemented by peas and oats in mid
summer green corn in early fall, then
ensilage and good hay again until spring
These cows were taken care of 365
days in the year. They were not turned
into poor pastures with poor fences. They
were not run to the barn with a dog at
their heels, to be MIXED after the chase.
There were no scrub apple trees in the
pasture for them to chase after in late
summer. They were not whipped while
in the barn being MIXED neither had
Iney any rlDS DTOheH Will tHe lnllhlHS
stool. but they were treated kindly. And
last but not least they were not tortured
by flies but we're sprayed twice day from
the time the flies appeared in the spring
until they disappeared in fall. l do not
think these cows have done anything
very remarkable and perhaps no better
than others have done. But l think as
everything they consumed was grown
on the farm they were a source of profit
| To sum the matter UP in few words II
| the same business principles are used on
| the farm as a merchant or manufacturer
must use to succeed, farming will pay.
Your Townshend correspondent would
like the testimony of other successful
| farmers.
