Show About Sharing Milk's Cost. Serious Increases in the cost of producing pro-ducing milk have resulted in recent years from feed and labor problems. This increase is in keeping with the increase in-crease in the cost of almost all other commodities, and the consumer must expect to pay his portion of any legitimate legiti-mate increase in the cost of production occasioned by these conditions. On the other hand there Is need of more attention to hotter management on the average farm devoted to the production of milk. The amount of milk produced per cow is frequently so low as to rellect seriously on the business ability of the owner. There is no good excuse for slack business methods on the dairy farm. Directions Direc-tions for keeping records of milk yields and cost of production are furnished by each state agricultural college an by tiie United States department of agriculture. |
