There is Money In Butter Making.

tain the best results it Is essential
that the animals purchased for the
dairy should be of the strict dairy
type. and be made permanent part
of the farm live stock. Those who
purchase cows with the intention of
milking them but short time and
then selling them off when the price
of butterfat drops or when the ami
nal goes dry naturally look more for
beef producers rather .han milk pro-
ducers. 1t Is impossible to build up
a good dairy herd by this method.
Dualpurpose animals may be used
In some localities to good advantage,
but to get the best results one of the
special dairy breeds should be used.
This does not mean that only thor
oughbred animals should be used, but
animals that are bred for milk pro.
duction. A good dairy COW should
produce enough butter-fat In her best
days that the value of the beef may
be of secondary importance, II not
entirely ignored.
A person purchasing an implement
considers first how much service he
can get out of 1t and not its value
as scrap iron when worn out. Those
who purchase dairy COW should con

produce and not the value Of her hide
