'" If they could be gathered together, what an interesting sloiy could jbe told of the farmers who had the enterprise en-terprise to strike out and purchase a registered) bull from some one of the damry breeds, and with patient skill and effort build up a fine graded herd. These men have no registered stock to sell but they are good breeders nevertheless. Some of their herds are composed of cows of several generations genera-tions in advance of the original native mothers and they can hardly be told from the pure bred stock. Such 'farmers 'farm-ers are deserving of much honor. .', The Nebraska Experiment Station for di decade have kept a careful record re-cord of the jyield and profit of their dairy herd of 27 cows. The record shows', an average yield of 6,513 pounds .(3,028 quarts) of milk per cow annually. The milk when manu- 1 . t factured into a finished product .made 332 pounds of butter which sold for about $70. The cost for feed per cow was approximately $30. The skim milk and fertilizer was supposed to balance this account as to care, leaving leav-ing a net cost of producing the milk of one and one-third cents per quart, in addition there was a valuable oa.lf left to the credit of the cow. This is an excellent herd of cows and have an excellent man in charge ofthem. This simply shows who any good farmer can do with good cows under favorable conditions. m m Utah's" climate and soil arc unexcelled unex-celled for the dairy .business. Dairying Dairy-ing in this State will one day be our leading industry. |
