It is interesting to note that with two
herds in the same community, one pro-
duced nearly twice as much milk as the
other, which returned twice the vaine
when sold and which made the owner
over twice the profit. These figures
would indicate that there is great ops
portunity for the average farmer to in
crease the profit from his dairy herd by
milking better cows and by better feed
ing. This is a critical period for the
dairy business of the entire country and
these figures cannot mean too mUch to
the practical farmer. The war .rondi-
tions are drawing tight band around
all Of the industries of the country ard
the farmer like the business man OF the
city must look little deeper into his
business and if there are parts OF 1t
\ that do not return profit, it must be
replaced by more efficient method or
