In continental Europe milk goats
are largely used by families unable to
keep a COW, and great benefit is de-
rived from having fresh milk at hand
and at low cost. In those countries
the goat is often spoken of as the

During the past several years con.

sufficient milk for the average family

At a recent State convention Of

seemed to be the general opinion
that while the margin of profit was
slight, that the service rendered paid
indirectly and that il was worth any

his business. We quote from "a
part Of the discussion as published
from a stenographic report appear
ing In the Hardware and Implement
Journal:
Mr.. Undertake. Il don't think
we ever made a dollar on cream
separators, but It is like the gentle
man said yesterday about what IL
brings into the store When we
sell separator we are giving sery-
ice. My observation has been that
the fellow who uses a separator Is
a man who pays cash for things,
OF who will soon be able to nay
cash for things. A man who keeps
his cows and other by-products On
the farm, Is a man that can pretty
soon pay cash for everything he
wants. IL is mighty good combi-
nation with other lines. II gets
you better acquainted with your
customer, although on that one item
you might not make much money

Mr.. ScOates: Il would like to add |
my Amen 10 that II you can en-
courage man to go into or help |
him in the dairy business, you are |
going to have cash customers"
These are views Of business men
who take that position from an en-
tirely selfish standpoint. They
want to be surrounded by prosper
Gus farmers so that they can sell |
more implements for cash, and they |
have learned through experience and |
observation that the farmer who has
good cows and a cream separator
