sklm-milk worth about third ~
much as the butter fat for feeding
to calves, pigs, aud chickens. There
Is also the value of the manure. and
of the calf. which should total TWEEN.
ty-fve dollars, or more, per year.
The most profitable ration to feed
such II COW would consist of pasture.
silage, alfalfa. and varying amount
of mixed grain, consisting of bran.
cotton seed meal, and corn. milo, or
kafir. Silage is II very valuable feed
when pasture is short-in fact, many
dairymen consider II indispensable.
IL il is not available, its price will
have to be taken by green soiling
crops, supplemented in the winter by
some such feed as dried beet pulp.
Such feeding will mean total of
about sixty dollars per year, divided
about equally between grain and
roughage. Thus II will be seen that.
II five dollars per month is to be-
paid on the purchase price Of the
COW, what is left of the cream check
will scarcely pay for the feed that
must be bought, and the farmer must
look to the profit from the skim .milk
to get some measure Of pay for his
labor. The above estimates are for

little or no better than TO make her

would realize that his success would
depend largely on his patrons being
satisfied: they would want to get
some pay for their work while pay
ing for the COWS. this calls for good
COWS. and hence he would furnish the
best COWS possible. True. he will
ask good price for the cows, but
if the cows themselves are real mon
ey makers, handsome returns will
keep coming in long after the pur-
chase price is paid. In this connec
ton it is well to understand that il
would be far better to pay u hun
bred and u quarter for u cow that
will produce II pound of butter fat
per day, than fifty dolars for one
that will produce only half u pound.
Success in dairying depends not
only on the cost of feed and the price
received for the product, but also
on the individuality Of the man and
of the COWS. To be profitable q COW
should produce as a daily average
for ten months. two and a half to
three gallons Of milk testing four to
five per cent fat. Three gallons Of
four per cent milk means one pound
of butter-fat per day. This should
bring an average price throughout
the year Of 2Sc, or $84 for 300 days.
