The creamer established a brand and produced such a superior article of butter as to command highest prices in the Chicoast cago, New York and Pacific markets. Its success is only one of the examples of what can be done in any ordinary reclamation district if a few enterprising residents will take the lead. The matter of prime importance in the present state of the dairy industdy, with tho herds reduced in many localities because of diversion of energy to growing cash crops, is to build up the number and quality of the milk cows. Particular attention should be given to tho breeding and rearing calves, ami the best quality of sires should oo employed to insure high producers.
