Cost of Keeping a Cow.

est. JOhnSbury Caledonlan.)
None of the secretaries of the county
COW testing associations responded to the
invitation of The Caledonian few weeks
ago to send in what they considered rep
tesentative figures on the cost of keeping
a COW, but we have an article in this issue
that covers the subject very fully. In
preparing his thesis Mr.. Nelson has con
sidered every feature of cost and every
product from the cow We have given
them in full. 1t makes a longer article
than most people will read, but we have
published the whole so anyone interested
can get as complete information on that
branch as anywhere known.
Mr.. Nelson gives ten items of cost in
keeping a COW and the average of each is
as follows: Cost of labor per COW per
year, $1,000; cost of shelter, $493;
equipment, 81 0G; bedding, S1.37; cost of
bull, Sis; interest on value of COW,
1923 depreciation, 81 40; tax, So; IN
surance, $27; feed, $421S. This gives a
total of $79.S2 as the average cost of a
COW per year This is cost of between
| p and % cents a day for the whole year
| The average milk production per COW is
| 1902 pounds and the average amount of
butterfat is 23S5 pounds. He finds the
! total average income from a COW to be
/ SS6.32, which gives an average profit per
COW OF 500. Particularly interesting is

The bringing of the charge of as
sault to kill against Bennington man
who fired a shotgun loaded with peas
at some youthful grape thieves (as
suspected) on his property holds up a
warning to many another person of
like temperament who is harrassed by
the lawless actions of others There
IS strong temptation to take the
means of punishment into one s own
hands when ones property is persist
emily despoiled, but it is unwise to
listen to the temptation when such
drastic measures are considered as
were used in the Bennington case, one
of the youths being struck in the face
by the charge of peas and perhaps per-
manently blinded. 1t seems scarcely
likely that the defender of his prop
erty had any idea that such terrible
results would follow his act and had
he thought the matter out with great
er deliberation he perhaps would not
have adopted that means of driving
away the young men. The old rule of
counting ten before saying or doing
anything when beset by evaporation
is good rule to follow, the rule mean
ing, of course, that the counting gives
one time for a little consideration of
