ally or else stop keeping cows alto
gether?
"These same cows made $50 pounds
of fat. Crediting them with the skim
milk at 10 cents a hundred and calf
and manure at SIS we find that the
total cost of the fat was $63 or PA
cents per pound. The average price
paid was 35.7 cents. However if
these cows had averaged even 25O
pounds of fat instead of $50 the cost
would only be 25.2 cents making a

Main street, Keene. \. H., and throat
oned to wipe out that section OF the
blocks, broke out about clock Mon
day afternoon and was not under con
troll until 7.30. The fire is reported to
have caught from a gas plate, which
was being used by n student at

Gated ON the top floor. The loss will be
about 100000, mostly covered by lnsur-

500 A YEAR TO KEEP COW.
Ought TO Give 5,oS7 Pounds of Milk
Estimate Is Based on Figures Fur
nisbed by Commissioner of Agricul-
ture


ture.
County Agent j. w. Dana of Bur
lington, in his February bulletin,
estimates the cost of keeping cow
for one year at $9S.l2. His esti-
mate is based on figures furnished by
+. S. Brigham, commissioner of agri-
culture, compiled from Cow Test as
ISOLATION records and estimates of the
Boston chamber of commerce.
He says, in answer to the question
How can we lower our cost of milk
production?'
81. BY using better methods of
buying, i. g., by buying in the summer
for cash. This does not mean you must
pay cash with the order but instead
when the goods come. They may be
ordered to be delivered at almost any
time that you wish.
"'2. BY raising and breeding more
legumes such. as alfalfa, clover, soy
beans, etc.
'3. BY eliminating the poor COWS
and thus raising the average produc-
ton. Joining Cow Test association
is the cheapest, quickest and easiest
way to do this.
"a. BY using pure bred sire from
high producing ancestry.
"Do you know what per cent of the
farmers in this country keep a pure
bred bull2 Less than 10; and say,
only 40 per cent have silos, and only
eight per cent have one or more pure
bred cows. About six per cent test
their cows through n Cow Test associa-
zion. Can't we improve this record

"Thesc cows averaged 5,Os7 pounds
of milk. The cost per 100 pounds
then after crediting the cow with calf
and manure was $1.63. The average
price received was $1.59. If these
