other barely makes running expenses
The Michigan Dairy and Food De-
partment Bulletin ITO gives the in
dividual record of the amount of
milk produced, the cost Of feed and
the net profit of 1, 728 COWS which
were kept in 1909 on 137 dairy farms
of this state. These are COW test as
ISOLATION records, and the data can
therefore be considered reliable. The
net profit as shown is the gross re-
ceipts from the sale of butter fat
minus the cost of feed consumed, no
account having been taken of in
surance, taxes, depreciation, labor,
ETC., and therefore cannot be said to
be the true net profit, but the records
illustrate we'll the great difference be-
tween herds and between COWS of the
same herd in their ability to produce.
The average production for the
year was 5,905 pounds Of milk per
COW, costing for feed s38. 10, which is
about 65 cents per cwt. Of milk, and
netting S37. ID. While it cost on the
average about 65 cents per cwt. to
produce milk, there was one herd of
eight COWS which produced it for 80
cents per cwt., making a profit of
$40. "a per COW, or 1899. 81 for the herd,

our country? 1t is partly due to
these Eastern farms being too small
for the economical use of much of our
modern machinery. 1t is also partly
due to the slowness of these Eastern
farmers to adopt modern methods of
farming. These Eastern farmers
find it difficult to compete with the
Westerner in the selling of grain,
even though he is closer to market.
This, of course, Is not all due to lack
of management, for it is partly due
to the inferior lands of the Eastern
farmer. But is there any reason
because this Eastern farmer cannot
produce as oheaply as the Iowan that
the price of grain should be held up
so he can make profit by growing it?
Certainly not. Neither should the
price of milk be held up so that some
of you with your COW which produces
only 5000 or 3. 5000 pounds Of milk a
year, can make a profit by keeping
her, when by keeping COW with a
greater producing capacity you can
produce it for considerable less.
Yet this is exactly what some of you
dairymen are doing, when you ask
the price of milk to be advanced.
You are asking the consumer to SUBJ
sidize you SO you can afford to keep
cow, which with the present high
prices of land, feed and labor cannot
make you profit with the present
price of milk, in place of another COW
with greater producing capacity
which can with almost the same feed
and care return you a profit.
According to the last census, there
are approximately $4,000 milk COWS
in the state of Idaho. The same
census shows that the value of dairy
products of that state is about so, 600, :
600 annually, which means only an
average return of $25 per cow for the
$4,000 COWS. Now, any dairyman

COW for S25.
According to data gathered by g..
V. Ellington, in charge of dairy pro-
duction at the Idaho Experiment
Station, at least 20 per cent of the
COWS of that state are not paying for
the feed consumed. Some herds were
returning only Is cents to 80 cents
on the dollar, for the feed alone,
without taking into account any of
the other expenses which are incurred
by running dairy. These dairymen
may be making a profit at farming,
but if so this profit is made from
growing crops and not from the dairy.
There is probably no other class OF
farming where the per cent of profit
made by our farmers differs so widely
from that made by his neighbOrs, as
there is in dairy farming. One dairy
man makes a snug income while the

NATIONS MILK SUPPLY.

men has been generally ignored by
these officials, and the press by pub
fishing write-ups written by persons
who are only specifically conversant
with the dairy business, and whose
statements are often gross eXaggera-
lions, have so prejudiced the con-
sumers that many have come to look
upon all milk as a questionable article
of food, and to consider the producer
as an individual who is growing rich
by asking exhorbitant prices.
1t has been estimated that the
value of dairy products in the United
States is about $500, 10000 annually,
and that it costs the producer 5000, =
600, 600 to produce the same. This,
of course, takes into consideration
all the expenses incurred, such as
interest on investments, taxes, in
surance, cost of feed, labor, etc.
These expenses are not often con.
sidered by the dairymen, but they
certainly should be. Any business
man who expects to make his bust
ness pay, keeps account of all his
running expenses SO he may ascertain
which part Of his business is making
him money, and it behooves the dairy
men to do the same il he wishes to
know If his dairy is making him
money.
Many dairymen might be surprised
to learn that they would be better off
if they did not have COW on their
farm, than to keep COWS they are now
keeping.
But why is it that SO many dairy
men are producing at a loss? How
can dairyman make his dairy pay
more than he is now doing? How can
he reduce cost SO that he can sell
better product and at the same time
not raise the price to the consumerY
These are the problems which are con-
fronting the dairymen today, and
they are the problems which the
y
men are solving them already by
adopting more up-to-date methods of
dairying.
In New. England you will find far
mers dropping corn by hand and
cultivating it with a single shovel.
In some parts of New York you will
see the old self weight harvester still
in use. In contrast to these old-time
methods of farming you will find in
the West farmers using the most up
to-date kinds of machinery in plant
ing, cultivating and harvesting their
crops.
What makes this great difference
