Profitable Dairying
We (Siorra Valley Leader) hare frequently heard it said that Dairying in Siem Valley does not pay when the price of batter is as low as it as been during the past year or two. Especially is this said to be true when the dairy is a small one. la refutation of this idea, we are enabled to give an example «f a small dairy, in this valley which pays. William McConntck. living near Loyalton, daring tbe.,v?ar 1884 kept a dairy consisting of thirteen, cows. From these he raised fifteen calves, besides making 3050
* r ' pounds of butter, which he sold for lid 5 ' : ;" fb Is per pound. The total revenue »f ; - '-■'•'■&• dairy,' including the value ot the ; ' % curve*, was £180, being an average in- . rtconje -fper cow of £14 16s. And. his JfajnUy, perfpnned. all the work im the dairy, and nearlj the whole income was >.- el»ar profits So extravagant methods were empUyedi and the quality of butter produces was good. There is scarcely .^^vdMryman in the rallej who could, not ' ig»ke. an equally faTourable showing if V-ib«y would be economical and take pains to make a good- articleof butter. Dairying pays in this valley, and will continme to do m tor many yean to come.
