Show DaiDY NOTE'S .A silo will pay for itself in one year. Be sure thatj the calves are started right A farmer owning, six cows should have a silo. Be sure that the temperature of tha milk is right ' It is not possible to grow too much forage on a dairy farm, j A comfortable stable reduces tha cost of maintenance and increases tha flow of milk. Feed regularly, not too much at a time, and young calves at least four times a day. Nothing can be marketed on tha farm so successfully or so economically economi-cally as butter. The dairyman who does not keep an individual record of his cows is not an up-to-date dairyman. If the mow is nearly empty and tha feed low in the bin, don't cut down the rations of the cows. The dairy farm that is stocked to its full capacity without being overstocked overstock-ed is a pretty safe investment. When an animal forms a habit, either good or bad, that habit is part of its life as long as it lives. Draining the butter well before salting salt-ing is one of the little things that makes for a better quality of product. Experiments have proven the average aver-age milk cow requires about an ounce of salt per day. Heavy milkers should have more. Success does not lie in the number , of cows the dairyman keeps, but 1" the kind ho keeps and the Way Se keeps them. |
