as to insure a continued supply OF
these essential foods.
ITO be of real value to the commun-
ity or nation, the manufacture Of any
food must give product more valu-
able than the raw materials and labor
costs involved in the process. that is,
any attempt to persuade the farmer
to make milk, cream. or butter regard
less of cost, simply defeats its own
end First, because the resulting prod
uct is less valuable than the cost of
production and second, because in the
long run, if dairying does not pay, the
average farmer will go into some other
! line of business. To make dairying
play its essential part in the present
food crisis we must first put it on a
sound basis.
Economical production is secured
in two general ways;
BY increasing the output.
by reducing the cost per unit.
Eat a time Of such high feed and Ia !
Dor charges, only the best cows can he
! profitable. All boarders should he
weeded out by the aid of test associa :
/ tions or private testing. Herds SO
selected should be handled to give the
longest possible service in milking and
breeding. Such practices as using up
cows in one or two forced lactations
must he stopped if our present herds
are to be maintained. Finally. the
! dairymen cannot afford to let the
present cost of food prevent his rails
ing all promising heifer calves.
ITO some extent feeding expenses
can be reduced by the judicious sub
stitution of home grown feeds, not
ably early-cut clover hay and silage
| for the more expensive purchased
grains. However, in his desire 70
lower the cost Of feeding. the expert
enced feeder will not lose sight of the
fact that a heavy milking COW cannot
eat enough OF these feeds alone for
profitable production. The economical
ration combines a reasonable amount
of concentrates with high quality
home grown roughage.
i "As the labor cost for caring 70,
cows is practically equal to the cost of
feed. any saving in the line is now
Goubly important In large herds
milking machines can often save the
time Of one or more men. Improved
stabling and watering arrangements
may do much to reduce overhead
charges and every dairyman should
carry as many cows as possible for the
help employed.
I Prices sufficient to cover the greatly
increased cost Of making dairy prod :
ucts are necessary to assure a con
tinued supply during the war. Milk
we cannot do without. and every one
who has considered the matter will
agree that darymen have not in the
past made even fair interest on their
investment. This fact. however. is
not valid excuse for wastefulncss or
inef1iciency in dairy management. In
dairy products as in all the necessaries
of life. the public now has right 70
demand the most possible for it,
money, and in giving this, the dairy
man insures the future prosperity of
his own business while he supplies
one Of his country's pressing needs"

DECREASED AUTOMO-
BILE REGISTRATIONS

The falling off in the receipts for
automobile registration at the Maine
department of State on Saturday, Jan
10 last amounted to s14,443-and con
sidcring that everyone in New Eng
land has been far more interested in
snowshoes and sleighs than automo-
biles, it is wonder that the decrease
from the receipts Of the same period
of 1917 was not larger. 1t is expect
ed that the approach Of spring weather
will give the automobile registration
a boost. but it is hardly now expected
that the phenomenal increase of 1917
over 1916 will be exceeded or even
cqualled.

tration up to closing on Jan. 10 We're
