DAIRY

Here are some facts to consider.
During the past year there have been
no bank failures in communities
ranking high in dairying. The regu.
lar monthly cream check supplies the
farmer with needed cash and long.
time credit from merchants is not
necessary. Another thing Of vital
Importance is the question Of soil fer.
tility which dairy herd makes pos
sible.
June is usually the ideal month for
production. Initiate June conditions
in January, as nearly as possible, and
the milk flow will probably surprise
your cows, as well as yourself.
That human failing of hoping to
get something for nothing is too fire.
quently found among dairymen. To
get good yield of milk the cow must
be provided with plenty Of good feed.
If she doesn't deserve this sort of
generosity, she is not good enough to
keep.
The value of individual COWS and
blood lines should properly be based
on lifetime performance rather than
on one weekly, monthly or yearly per-
Torrance. Too many fine COWS are
being ruined by forcing. This results
in an everlasting loss of purple blood
which should have been used in up
lifting the breed average.
The dairy bull is not a toy, nor a
bosom friend, but necessary evil
and potential assassin. Put q child
like faith in his innocence and see
how long your health remains robust.
The man who falls to recognize
that milk production is function of
motherhood and that motherhood
feeds and thrives on patience, gen.
tleness and affection quite as much
as on silage, roots, hay and grain, will
never develop into a first class care.
