Won't take up any more space at
present, but can show you records
which would run up in the thousands
But examine those that I have
given you, then take that "pen" in
hand and figure up what a good
| dairy cow is worth.
Here are two rules to go by: LIST
The average life of a dairy cow is
| fourteen years. 2nd-The average
price paid by the Badger Creamery
Co. for butterfat for 1921, was 80 II c
per pound.
l would like to give you the price
paid by r. j. Es competitor, Andy
Tanaler, but the little runt beat it
| with figures, money, truck and all.
After you have obtained your answer
then come out and tell us what you
think of the dairy business.
Still you may have one alibi:
Those are the extremes of today,
"but the extremes of yesterday are
| but the standard of today, and to-
morrow's may be covered with the
dust of tmie."
The happiest, most contented and
most intelligent man you can meet
today is the successful dairyman.
He is happy because he knows he
| has the goods which the world must
have. He is contented for he knows
his grand old dairy cows" are bring
| ing money every day of the year.
| Yes, indeed, they make money for
him while he sleeps. But he must
not sleep too long.
He is intelligent for he must meet
newer problems each day; he must
learn as he goes, for he can see the
field of opportunity which is opened
up for him.
Call on him or visit him, you will
find man who will meet you with a
smile and a glad hand. It's pleas
ure to be in his company; he will
take pride in showing you his dairy
barns and dairy herd; he will give
you records of each and every cow;
the amount of milk and butterfat,
and the cost of feed per cow; he can
01c CHI off Of
COWS which in two years will be equal
to their dams, maybe better; these
| will be used to replenish his herd or
sold to his neighbors in the west,
east, north or the south; and today
the demand is far in excess of the
supply.
In order that you may be success
full with the dairy industry, or any
other industry for that matter, you
must become thoroughly informed
of the scientific methods that are
tried and proven.
Today is the day of science. You
will find it used in our great insti-
tutions of learning, in the great
bodies of Government throughout
the land, nation, state and county.
Our county government must have
forgotten where theirs was, when
they got that wonderful inspiration
to economic"
Science is used in our mills; mines
and factories and is now used more
than ever before, for the advance
ment of the farming and dairy indus
try.
We rely upon our County Agents,
who have the knowledge and meth
DDS, to help us with the newer meth
DDS that are used. To keep us in
formed of the scientific principles
adapted to agriculture.
The farmer, business man, me-
chanic or whoever he may be, must
seek advice from men, who are learn
ed, with facts and theories that are
