It certainly true in dairying as IN
any other business that ones success
in a large measure Is gauged by MS
love and interest Of the business.
It is generally a conceded fact that
dairying yields a larger profit tnan
can be expected from any other
branch Of farming. A good COW Will
annually yield not much less than 300
pounds of butter which at % cents
pound is worth $S4.oo. Adding to this
the value of 5000 pounds Of skim
milk at 20 cents per 100 pounds. ana
ten dollars which ought to be fair
value for the calf, we would have
total Of 31os.oo. Allowing $4,000 as
fair allowance for feed consumed. we
still have $500 as profit to pay for
the labor and interest on the invest
ment.
However, in addition to this direct
profit, we must not fail to lay stress
on the importance of dairying as
means of retaining the fertility OF the
soil. BY feeding the raw materials OF
the farm to the dairy cows, we arc
not only manufacturing high-priced
products but we are retaining upon the
farm almost the entire amount OF fer
tilizing material taken from the SOIL
by the growing crops.
By selling only cream. or butter.
fully 95 per cent Of the fertilizing
material contained in the feed is re-
tanned on the farm. One ton OF oats
takes from the soil as much fertility as
~ tons Of cream. As much fertility
would be taken from the soil in s2o
worth Of wheat as in $500 worth OF
cream.
BY dairying only about per cent OF
fertility is taken from the soil. the
balance Of the finished product being
made by plant life from water, air.
a. !, sunshine, and as a result. dairy
farms in europe have succeeded IN
maintaining their sol. fertility for
more than 100 years, while some OF
our grain farms have been almost ex-
hausted in so years.
If one would be successful in the
dairy business he must necessarily
start with such cows as will give
good foundation stock and from which
he can gradually build up herd. To
expect to tuild up dairy herd from
animals suited especially for making
beef Is beginning the business with
serious handicap.
A comparison Of the beef and dairy
types Of animal is perhaps the most
effective way Of showing what are the
distinct dairy characteristics. The
beef breeds are blocky in form. are
heavy and sluggish whi:, the dairy
animal is spare and angular and re-
fined with a soft and pliable hide well
covered with smooth. soft hair. The
head is lean and a little longer than
that of the beef type. The mock Is
long and lean, Joining to the body
rather abruptly. The withers are
sharp, with the spinal column promi-
nent and the barrel long and capac7
ious indicating good feeding capacity
The ribs are sprung down and out
ward and wide s,aced. the heart and
loin girth -arge and the tail fine with
heavy switch. The form of the
dairy COW is frequently spoken Of as

arc Improbable. To those unaccus-
toned to the work. disinfection may
seem most complicated process.
Any approved method. however, is
comparatively simple when carried
out carefully. although like many
another procedure it is one in which
attention to details counts for much.
1t is important to bear in mind that
the causative agents Of many. diseases
are extremely small and may remain
for an indefinite time in dust, cracks,
and crevices Of buildings, so that ef-
forts aiming at the eradication of dis
ease from contaminated premises NUT
be thorough in order to be effective.
In the work Of disinfection nature
has provided man with a most valu-
able ally-sunlight. It is we'll known
that the direct rays Of the SUN are
destructive to many forms Of bacteria,
In some cases destroying them and in
others lessening their influence. Thus
the Importance Of well-lighted stables
is evident. The dark and sunless
building will be favorable breeding
place for bacteria, and the structure
which admits the greatest amount of
sunlight will be tho least favorable for
their development. Again, heat will
destroy the bacteria of disease. BY
this Is not meant the ordinary heat of
the sun, but heat as developed in boil
Ing water or In flame. It is upon this
principle that the :urgeon before
operating renders his Instruments free
from the possible presence of bacteria
by boiling, and 1t Is heat which M
ders Jet of live steam destructive to
bacteria. Sunlight, however, can not
bc considered more than an accessory
in the destruction of bacteria, while
tE" application Of heat in the form of
steam or flame is seldom possible.
The result is that in the practical
work Of disinfection we are depend
ent upon certain drugs. which have
power to destroy the organisms of dis
ease.
Such drugs are known as disinfect-
ants. and. fortunately. we have at
hand a number that possess the DOW r
If destroying bacteria.
Bichlorid Of mercury also known as
corrosive sublimate and mercur.,
'hlorid. chlorid Of lime, formalde-
1yde. carbolic acid, crude carbolic
acid, cresol. and compound solution OF
sresol, are such drugs They have
onlj to ba brought in contact with tho
bacteria In order to >:estroy them.
Before either Of the above are
lsed. however. the farmer should
tudy their peculiar characteristics
IND use the one best suited to his
purpose Violent poison should not
70 used unless the ucer of the dia-
" ectant is familiar with it and its
'esults
In the practical wor o: oisinfect,on
here are three essentials:
l. A preparation Of the building

z. A disinfectant which upon CON.
act can be depended upon to da.tro,,
such organisms.

1t is calculated that the yearly

is not far from 4oo,0o0,ooo, and this
increases at the rate Of about per
