Show Dry -cow and poor cowa are two snags that dairymen should steer clear of. Breed your favorite breed In a manner man-ner that will conform to all of your requirements. Successful dairying la like riding a wheel. If you don't keep moving you will fall iff. No dairyman ran afford to grow timothy tim-othy hay en land that will yield good crops of clover. Let every cow stand on her own individual merit and not live on the profits from her Bister. , Tbe dairy idwi are our best friend and the farm without them la on tbe road to Impoverishment. Cleanliness In the dairy business la more a matter of inspiration than education edu-cation in sanitary methods. ladlvldnal excellence la the only aafe guide to follow In selecting a herd of profitable dairy cows. In figuring up the profits from the cows tbe past year don't neglect to count in the manure predm-ed. Moistening the hands either with milk or water tefore milking la only a babit. and not a good oae at that. It I mistaken economy to put off feeding grain arwl supplemental forage for-age crop until everything fan the pasture pas-ture Is consumed. The true value of the cow oVpendB not on herself alone, but on the feeding, feed-ing, ahelter and functional action of the organ of nutrition. Any dairy cow of any breed abould give ber own weight In milk each month for at least all month, and an extra good cow will do better. The grade cowa are tbe bail on which tbe dairy business rests at the p-esent time and they are tbe cows tnat we shall continue to do bustnes ith owing to tbelr greater numUr end less rot. |
