1t is certainly true in dairying as in
my other business that ones success
In large measure is gagged by his
love and interest of the business.
II is generally a conceded fact that
dairying yields a larger profit than
can be expected from any other
branch of farming. A good COW will
annually yield not much less than 500
pounds of butter which at 2S cents
pound is worth SS4. Adding to this
the value of 5000 pounds of skim
milk at 20 cents per 100 pounds. and
ten dollars. which ought TO be fair
value for the calf, we would have a
total of $106. Allowing $50 as fair
| allowance for feed consumed, we still
have $50 as a profit TO pay for the
labor and interest on the investment
However, in addition to this direct
profit, we must not fail to lay stress
on the Importance of dairying as a
means of retaining the fertility of the
soil. BY feeding the raw materials OF
the farm to the dairy cows. wo are
not only manufacturing high-priced
products but we are retaining upon
the farm almost the entire amount of
fertilizing material taken from the
soil by the growing crops.
BY selling only cream, or butter
fully 95 per cent OF the fertillzing
material contained in the feed is re-
tanned on the farm. One ton OF oats
takes from the soil as much fertility
- A. Tr,v II
fly would be taken from the soil in
$26 worth of wheat as in 1890 worth
OF cream.
By dairying only about per cent
Of fertility is taken from the soil, the
balance of the finished product being
and sunshine, and as a result, dairy
farms in Europe have succeeded in
maintaining their sol, fertility for
more than 1000 years. while some Of
our grain farms have been almost ex-
hausted in so years.
If one would be successful the
dairy business he must necessarily
start with such COWS as will give
good foundation stock and from which
he cen gradually build up herd To
expect to build up dairy herd from
animals suited especially for making
beef is beginning the business with a
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, while the dairy
animal is spare and angular and re-
fined with soft and pliable hide we'll
covered with smooth, soft hair. The
head Is lean and a little longer than
that of the beef type. The neck is
long and lean. joining to the body
rather abruptly. The withers are
sharp, with the spinal column prom;-
nent and the barrel long and capac-
lous. Indicating good feeding capacity
The ribs are sprung down and out
ward and wide spaced, the heart and
loin girth large and the tail fine with
a heavy switch. The form Of the
dairy COW Is frequently spoken of as
the triple wedge" form First, she
shows increased depth of body to-
wards the rear when viewed from one
side Secondly, she widens gradually
from the breast 10 the points OF the

COFFEE HURTS
One in Three.

II is difficult to make people believe
that coffee is a poison to at least one
person out of every three, but people
are slowly finding it out, although
thousands of them suffer terribly be-
fore they discover the fact.
A New York hotel man says: Each
time after drinking coffee l became
restless, nervous and excited, so that |
was unable to sit five minutes in one
place, was also inclined to vomit and
suffer from loss of sleep, which got
worse and worse.
"a lady said that perhaps coffee was
the cause of my trouble, and suggested
that | try Postum. | laughed at the
thought that coffee hurt me, but she
insisted so hard that / finally had
some Postum made. | have been us
ing it in place of coffee ever since. for
/ noticed that all my former nervous
ness and irritation disappeared. | be-
gan to sleep perfectly, and the Postum
tasted as good or better than the old
coffee, so what was the use OF stick
ing to a beverage that was injuriEg
me?
One day on an excursion up the
country / remarked to young lady
friend on her greatly improved appear
ance. She explained that some time
before she had quit using coffee and
taken to Postum. She had gained a
number of pounds and her former pal
pitation of the heart, humming in the
ears, trembling OF the hands and legs
and other disagreeable feelings had
disappeared She recommended me to
quit coffee and take Postum and was
very much surprised to find that / had
already made the change.
she said her brother had also re-
ceived great benefits from leaving OF
coffee and taking on Postum There's

The dairy type can be found in

Owing to the careful work of the
breeders in maintaining the purity of
the breeds and fixing their character

! be counted on to reproduce their
dairy qualities and their ability to-
produce butter-fat in large quantities.
/ It Is largely for this reason that the

Too much stress cannot be laid on
the fact that we have no better disin-
fectant than good old-fashioned sun
light For this reason in planning our
barns much more attention should
be paid to the question of securing
sufficient light. Dairy authorities sug-
gest that four square feet of glass
should be allowed for each COW in the
barn. Long windows reaching well

points are worth remembering:
First. shorten the rotation SO as TO
