COOPERATION IN A DAIRY

AS an instance OF how cooperation

of operation $14.O22 was paid out TO
the patrons. During the second year
$22, 049 was paid out. OF this about 70
per cent. was for butter fat and over
run. Thus the business increased dur
ing the second year by about 81 per
cent. The increase was largely due %
better and more intelligent feeding
rather than to a large increase Of
patrons or increase during the past
year and averaged 2Sh per cent. dur

been possible in spite Of fierce com

Choosing Brood Sows.

Hit or miss selection Of pigs for fu-
ture brood sows is poor business.
Many farmers could increase the size
of litters by giving more attention TO
this point. 1t is folly to save gifts
that are understood or the dumping
sort. The type Of SOW that is most
profitable one year with another is
long and deep and has at least twelve
teats and is from a SOW that is a good
mixer. There is as much difference
in the dairy capacity of sows as cows.
You want a SOW that will not go dry
before time for weaving her pigs.
Choose the future brood SOW from ma
ture stock when possible and then
give her every chance to mature into
large, strong SOW. Put all her sis
tiers that are unfit for breeding pur-
poses in the lot with the barrows.
