J72 AGRICUIvTURE OF MAINE. 



when a man does that, he should be favored with the trade of 

 the pubhc at large instead of the unscrupulous man who is 

 careless in his methods, and thinks that just because he has the 

 trade he can let anything go to his customers that has the name 

 of milk. 



Too often the details of the farm are left to the hired help. 

 The dairy business is not a business in which the farmer can 

 leave everything to his help, and grow rich himself. If he does 

 there is sure to be some mistake. The help is usually trying to 

 get the W'ork done quickly and get somewhere. They want to 

 slip over things, and unless the farmer is there on the spot to 

 supervise everything, the work is not usually done as it should 

 be done. 



In conclusion, the dairyman who is willing to keep records, 

 to find out the cost of feed and study the individual cows so as 

 to feed them properly, and who guards against careless milk- 

 ing by his helpers, who tries to master the details of his business, 

 who uses a little brain work here and there instead of so much 

 actual hard labor, and who is always trying to look forward to 

 the future and to the advancement of his business, should be 

 recognized. It is to this man that the increase in price of milk 

 and the respect of the public in that community should come. •
