A DAIRYING STANDARD.

The big records some men are making- w ith their cows are very useful in certain breeds. But the great mass cf dairy farmers are tco far away from such records to consider them practical. With 99 cut cf 100 cows, the 300 peund butter mark will do for a standard yet a long time. That is within reach of the farmer who will, work for it. The difficulty is that mark is not yet fixed in the minds cl Inc most cf farmers. It will require a cow that yields 2401 b of butter fat a year. Farmers could easily get to the 3001 b mark if they would make their thought right to that end All that is necessary is to think right, and then act consistent with that thought. Expense is overtaking revenue with a great majority of farmers It costs'a great deal more to produce milk than it used to. They must h?.;/e cows iha.'t will produce mere. Consequently they must breed and develop such cows. To do this they must knew more and think st might or to the mark thantbey have been doing. If we could get them to face that proposition resolutely, what a change we would see in a few years—“ Hoard’s Dairyman.”
