PRODUCE MILK FOR LESS

An extensive study of marketing
conditions reveals the fact that the
Stcadiest and Srrest income on the
farm is the income derived from
dairy COWS. This does not mean
that everyone can milk COWS and
make success ont of the busi.
ness far from it: there are several
failures. but failures in this busi.
ness are very easily diagnosed and
can rapidly be remedicd
Success in the dairy business is
directly dependent upon the mar
gin that the producer receives for
his milk and what he ras to pay
in feed and labor to get that milk.
In simpler words, there are two
ways to increase profits. One is
to demand and get more for the
milk or cream he produces, and the
other is to produce his milk
AT lower cost.-How, which is the
easier? Human nature usually
picks the easier method although
many dairy men often pick the
hardest.
Consider first method number
one. To receive more for our pro.
ducts we have to demand it and
usually that does no good so we
have to combine and boycott the
market to get our increased price
and at the same time receive the
curses of the consumers for the
increased prices that they have to
pay. When we c Ombinc for the
purpose Of boycotting the market,
we have declared war on the cream
cry condcnSery, or plant that
handles our milk, war which
usually results in absolute failure
and lower prices than ever be
bausc the producer is not organ
lied with the capital to use that
the distributor or manufacturer
is, and this war like all other wars
is usually won by the fellow who
has the most mOncy-then again
the whole principal of the thing
is radically wrong in many cases.
The second method is the lessen
ing of the cost of production This
is matter which requires no com
bine for a doubtful success. It is
matter which will be accomplish.

BRITISH BOY STOPS
WAR i'm CAUCASUS

A PIQUANT controversy has
IA arisen over the real iden.
- ~ tity of the boy who stopped
a war in Armenia. The subject
first arose in a speech by Sir Tom
Bridges, who told an Australian
audience how an Elton boy stopped
q battle between the forces of
Georgia and Armenia by carry
ing a Union Jack between them
and ordering Cease fire" in the
name of the British Empire.
The Etonian was identified as
Captain A. Sholto Douglas, c. B.
E., Of the rifle brigade, a young
man of twenty-six years. who is
now under orders for India. He
is the son OF the late Captain
George and Lady Laura Douglas.
Recently, however, there APP
peared an article by Major A. r.
McDonel, c. B. E., British Vice
Consul at Baku from 1907 to 1917,
telling how he stopped the war
with the aid of ten mon and a
ron-commissioned officer.
According to the majors story
the incident occurred near Sa-
daklo. the headquarters of the
Georgian forces. The major con-
ferred with fourteen generals in
