Show The Dairy A cow will respond to the pall with abundance and plenty when treated gently and fed and kept liberally but If treated badly she takes for herself first the cream and then If there Is anything left gives her owner the skim milk The annual value of the dairy crop of this country approximates 450000000 There never has been a year when tho entire gold and silver product of the world was large enough to buy the dairy products of this country this year The cows of California yield annually a greater value than the gold mines of that state It would require the entire issue of United States treasury notes or the entire issue of the national banknotes bank-notes to buy the entire butter crop of the year These products at market rates would nay off all the state and county debts of the nation and leave a handsome hand-some balance F D Coburn of Kansas says I claim that the cow Is a vastly better institution Institu-tion than most of us give her credit fort for-t at it Is in her power and is her pleasure pleas-ure to do much more for us than we as ret permit her to do through doing a little more for her If she with the care we might well bestow on her and the feeds we raise In a profusion unsurpassed unsur-passed anywhere else on earth can yield us milk containing 200 or 300 pounds of butter fat in a year it Is a folly well nizh wicked to be satisfied with a yield only half as great If by churning her cream with brains the product will sell for 12 instead of 6 cents per pound or 20 cents instead of 10 we owe it to ourselves our-selves to put in the requisite brains |
