THE FARM DAIRY.
Under any circumstances we are to aim to produce bhe most we can, quality, of 'course, being considered, if prices aie good we want plenty to sell. If prices are poor so much more the need of having a rich harvest. The dairy doos not occupy the place tlmb it deserves in the esteem of many farmers. They keep cows, but the profits are either nothing, in many cases, or much below what they should be. The dairy is a splondid sourco of steady income if you chooso to make it so. With it we do not have to wait six nor three months for the incomo from it. It gives us its yield every week and we can sell it and get the money. Now we can start out with tho proposition that a good cow, woll ied and cared for, will produce a profit Then wo must gob a good cow arid take care of hor. The value of "the products of a cow may run all the way from £5 to £20. Winter dairying often pays the best ; good cows pay the be&b ; good care and feeding pay tho besb. Now are wo getting the best profit ? It is an important question, and we ought to compel ourselves to answer it, for we are" on the farm nob for our pleasure merely but, for the profit we can make.
