THE FARM.

MAKTNG MONEY OUT OF COWS

There are ten rules for making mnni>v out of cows and they all V>t>in with "milk good cows."

To put the case in a nutshell, or rather to skim the cream from the whole matter, let admit that there are, say, seven fundamental principles of successful dairying, about as follows :—

1. Weed out the poor cows by means of the scales and the Babcock test.

2. Feed the good cows plenty of clean, choice stuff as close to a balanced ration as possible.

3. Eliminate competition by producing a better product than the

other fellow and demanding a good price for it. 4. Head the herd with a high class, purebred sire. 5. liaising the promising calves from the best calves only. 6. Develop a market for your surplus bull calves and other stock. 7. Feed the mind of the man behind the cow.
