'Are you doing the best you can to provide suitable as well as cheap feed for your stock? Many are not. Bay is good enough, is it? Good hay is good; poor hay is good for nothing, except as a monument to mark the spot where you lost a, lot, of money. Good hay is necessary, but it is not sufficient. How would Coed because someone else has. He should realize that personal alert and close application coupled with untlring energy and perseverance are required in the dairy business. There is plenty of room on top in the dairy business for the right sort of boys on the farm. I think the most satisfactory way to establish a dairy herd is to start in a small way and grow up with the business, becoming acquainted with every individual cow. Start, right in the first place by securing as good as can be found for foundation stock, then improve by the introâ€" duction of new blood from high re- cord cows and stick to certain line; with those having an upward ten- dency for greater milk production. The (lairyman must understand his business and give personal attention to care and feed. He must look af- ter the details every day and not trust too much to the hired man, be he eVei' so faithful. In my opinion there never was a better time than the prtscnt for a young dairyinun of good business utility and energy to embark in this business. There is no more profitable and popular breed of cattle than the “black and whites” of toâ€"(lav, Nu tage of protein. A cow should al- ways have all the clover hay she will eat, up clean. I deliver all my milk to z}, butter and cheese factory, and have received the past 12 years from 71 cents to $1.10 per 100 for it The low percentage of butter fat as compared with Jerseys was an argument always presented to me in balancing figures. The question was often asked me which is the most profitable cow, one that gives 70 pounds of milk testing 1-3 p.c. butter fat, or one that produces 30 pounds of milk of 4 p.c. butter fat in the same period with the same care and feet]. At one time, I purchased two wellâ€"bred Jerseys fur the sake of comparison. With the same care and feed, I found the figures given above practically true in this instance. I had some difficulty in disposing of these Jerseys to get my money back, after I was satisfied that the H01- steins were more profitable for me. In feeding silage a goodâ€"sized cow needs about 40 pounds per day in two feeds. with from five to ten pounds of grain with a high percenâ€" expensive for proper milk produ‘ in winter.
