am speaking now more particularly
to the small fsi imer-esiryman- the man
who has q half dozen or more cows
which he regards rs = siae issue and to
which he has given little attention fur
ther than milking them at irregular
hours, feeding them with the other
range cattle and complains because he
finds there is no money IN milking cows.
If this farmer would give his milk cows
m even chance with the range cattle
and provide extra feed to be trans
formed into milk in addition to that
given for providing heat, muscle and
fst, he would soon have reason to
change his mind and if he will give the
cows the care and feed that they should
have he will soon find that his balance
will be on the profit instead of the loss
side of the ledger
Ten good dairy cows well sheltered
and fed liberal dairy ration consisting
largely of ensilage will yield an aver
age monthly income of $50 to 500 in
cash for the cream besides the skim
milk, the best of feed for calves, chick
ems and pigs, which, judiciously handled
and given good pasture with some con
centrstes, should be made to bring in
amounts almost equal to the above.
1t has been the custom of farmers in
general to heap msledictions on the
hesds of the packers, manufacturers
and other similar enterprises who make
money by carefully looking after the de
tails, eliminating all wastes and taking
full advantage of conditions to make
their lsbors pay q profit. In the dairy
COW every farmer owns a manufactur-
ing plant and if the machinery of this
plant is given careful and judicious at
tention and if he will so arrange to
market his crops through these manu-
featuring plants that will transform
them from the crude into highly con
centrsted and readily marketable
product, he will become q member of
the manufacturing class and will realize
to his own sstinfsction that there is
good profit in home dairy.
SOME ADVANTAGES or DAIRYING.
The following in a condemned form are
few Of the many advantages to be
realized in farm dairying:
I. That it takes less fertility out of
the soil than any other form of agricul-
ture. and hence it is useful in following
q well regulated system of rotation.
q That it can be combined readily
with other forms of agriculture or horti-
culture.
3. The dairy provides in winter a
quantity of stable manure in which the
straw from the farm is profitably
utilized.
a. The by-products from the COW,
skim milk, whey and buttermilk, are a
source Of income in raising pigs and
calves.
5. Dairying gives constant and regu-
lar employment of light character to
every member of q farmers family.
6. Dairying inculcates habits of pune
tuality, industry. cleanliness and thrift
on the farm.
;. That the demand for good butter
and cheese on the worlds market is un-
limited, and so long as the quality is
maintained an all around, even and prof
liable price can alway be secured.
8. The monthly cheque from the fac
tory provides the mainstay in the house,
