According to r L. Cochran, state
dairy commissioner of Colorado, all
over the West there is an increased
demand for good dairy cove and
prices are leaping skyward. Good
mixers are being gobbled up,
fguratively, by dairymen who have
been in the business for a time, with
the idea Of enlarging the output of
milk and cream. and many new ven
lures in the dairy business are being
made.
There was a time in Gunnlsop
county when q rancher who took the
trouble to milk cows except for his
own family use was looked upon az
fool. Other strictly COW countries
had the same views. The rancher
who used to laugh has about come
to the conclusion that be was the
real fool, and many of them are en-
barking in dairying. There is real
profit in the business when properly
conducted.
