Dairying For Profit.

The foundation rock upon which
successful dairying rests is the good
COW. Unlessscows have the capacity
for high production they will prove
Improbable No COW that falls under
the yearly 200 pound butter mark can
prove profitable to the owner and even
then the fertilizing value which she re-
turns to the soil has to be placed to
her credit to enable her to make any
showing. A 250-pound COW may be
considered fair, but she must produce
at least 800 pounds of butter annually
before she becomes a really good in
vestment for her owner.
Select stock of the leading dairy
breeds. Whether the COWS be grades
or pure-breds, it is of the highest i'm
rortance in building up dairy herd
to use a pure-bred bull. Unless the
bull is descended from good mixers
it is folly to expect him to produce
good mixers, no matter how ideal he
NAV be as an individual.
No matter how large a productive
capacity cow has, if she is not fed
well the returns will be unsatisfactory.
A cow must have in her ration enough
protein, carbohydrates and fat to
maintain her body weight, and yield
the highest amount of butter fat of
which she is capable. In other words
to do her best she must have a full
ration.
