Profit in Dairying.

lOllO III baAh lhS 10 wiz
between the cost Of production and
selling price. This is, beyond any
question, the basis on which the
specialized dairyman should con-
duct his business. This is the basis
Of all figures made by experiment
stations and Others in the handling
of COWS. When such figures are
made, the cost of feed, cost of labor
the interest, taxes, depreciation,
ETC., are charged against the herd.
To be sure, all of these charges
have the effect of reducing the
profit and to the average farm
dairyman who is struggling to get
his dairy on a money making basis,
present a considerable obstacle.
However, satisfactory profits can
be and are being made from good
herds with all these charges entered
against them. The fact is, too,
that the profit in growing wheat
should be deter mined on identically
the same basis. and when such
charges are made against wheat it
is doubtful if any more actual
profit has been made thereby than
is made from the average herd OF
farmers COWS. In the West where
we are pursuing dairying mostly
as a side issue and where cows are
kept because the farm would not
be a farm without COWS, the farm
dairyman is not justified in becom-
ing discouraged when he examines
carefully into the reports made on
a strictly profit basis, either OF
individual special purpose dairy
COWS or common cows.
Dairying is profitable, even
though it net no more than
reasonable return for the character
of the roughage given. Such re
turn will be in cash. The rough
age ordinarily has no marketvalue.
The cash it returns through the
milk COW is the cash received for
the labor put into the growing
crop. In other words, the cow is
paying for the labor attendant
upon the milking and the care.
Dairying, real dairying, will pay
after all the legitimate charges
made against it have been figured,
and as business, dairying will
bear closest Investigation. How
ever, the milking of COWS, which is
not dairying at all,requires another
standard when its pro6tableness is
considered. The farmer knows that
it pays to properly feed and care for
a good COW, and that the better
the COW the more profit there is,
The skimmilk for the pigs and the
calf and the increasing value of the
cow are all additions to the dairy
income whith make the mainte
nance of the farm milking herd a
profitable undertaking.
