SEVERAL LECTURES.
Edward Van Alstyne Of Undertook,
n. y, director of New York Farmers In
stitute spoke in the afternoon on some
Fundamentals in Successful DairyinS.
He said there were four factors to be con-
sidered: II. Profit from the farm crops
marketed through the COW >. Increased
value from the farm because Of manure
returned to land 3. Direct money profit.
4. The effect on the man"
The average COW, he said. gave 60 pounds
of manure a day, liquid and solid, which
was worth 50 ton. Besides this value
! there vas the value of additional humus,
the value of providing a place for soil
bacteria to breed. etc He had o' served
that the farms about Albany that were
worth the most per acre had the most
livestock upon them per acre. He eau
sioned the farmers present against ever
being satisfied with their success.
/ Better prices for milk could not be OBJ
tanned so long as there was a surplus and
the demand did not continue strong. Al
ready in Boston there was beginning 70

raising. He was sorry more slos We're MOI
