A CALL TO PATRIOTISM
OF TENNESSEE DAIRYMEA

I
weekly during the past two
months, and yet the dairymen
have not been making any more
money, according to those who
are looking into the dairy bust
ness.
Milk has advanced from two
cents to four cents a quart, which
is an increase of from 25 per cent.
to so per cent, of the original
price. The price of corn and 9th
er feeds has advanced from rs
per cent, to 100 per cent. AS a.
business proposition it requires a
good dairyman to make money
now.
The dairyman who does prac-
tice good principles can make
good money. however. even in a
time like this.
1t is a noticeable fact that the
price of dairy products has not
advanced in proportion to the
price of other foods, such as flour,
meal and potatoes.
There can be little doubt that
many dairymen are producing
milk at a loss. This is due to
several causes, and now is the
time to remedy existing condit-
ions. Test your cows and sell out
the poorest ones. Join a CONTEST
ing association, if there is one
near you. Do not sell the best
cows, but keep them and breed
them to a good sire. Careful in
vestigation of cow-testing associ-
alton records shows that with
cows producing $50 pounds but
terfat, the fat cost 30c per pound,
with cows producing 300 pounds,
fat cost tic per pound. with cows
producing 400 pounds, fat cost
14c per pound. In other words.
the $50 pound cow furnishes a
market for feed at market price
only. the 300-pound cow will prac-
tically double the price of feed,
while the 4O0-pound cow will pay
% times as much for feed as will
the 150-pound cow.
There never was such de-
mand for good cows in the his
tory of this country. During
three recent trips Wisconsin and
Ohio for the purpose of assisting
in the purchase of dairy cows, it
was found that the surplus cattle
have been shipped out until in
some of the great dairy centers
it is impossible to buy a good cow
at any price. The prices are a.
larmingly high.
1t is a peculiar fact that prac-
tically all of the dairy cattle sold
in Tennessee have been shipped
out of the state. There have
been repeated inquiries from
practically every southern state
for dairy cows. If these farmers
can keep cows profitably, why
can't Tennessee farmers do so?
1t is little short of criminal to
keep a poor producer in the herd
at the present time. Better dis
pose of the poor ones, conserve
the feed for the good ones and for
other purposes. Keep the good
cows, feed them better and give
them better attention. This ma
ton needs milk, butter andcheese,
and must have a liberal supply of
these foods. The dairymen and
farmers should remember that
they are producing one of the
most economical of human foods,
and housewives should bear in
mind that one quart of milk is
equal in food value to three
fourths of a pound of lean beef,
or 8 eggs, or 3 pounds cod fish, or
2 pounds chicken, or three-fifths
of pound of ham.
Let's sell only the poor cows,
breed the best ones to good sire,
save the heifer calves, feed bet
ter, plant plenty of feed crops,
build a silo and save everything
that can be fed.

Telephone Courtesy

The people who get the greatest
amount of good out of their telephor;
are those who talk over it as though face
to face.
Courtesy smooths out difficulties and
promotes the promptest possible connec-
tons.
The operators of the BELL System
are trained to be patient and polite under
all circumstances, but they will do better
work if they meet with patience and
politeness on the part of the telephone
users.
The fact that you cannot see the
operator or the other party should not
cause you to overlook this. The best
results come through the practice Of
mutual courtesy.

The exceedingly Reverend W. E.
