Governor Hoard, the best known
dairyman and farmer in the United
States, tells the fact that the. COW cen
sus of Wisconsin is too small, although
our state stands at the head of all SIS

and he assigns as a reason for high
prices of butter that THE COW popu-
lation has no. increased as fast as the
human population.
In past weeks the CENSOR has given
facts and figures concerning production
of butter at a number of creameries of
the county. We now quote from others:
