DAIRY AND SEED IMPROVEMENT MEETINGS. 317 



familiar with the various kinds of silos on the market and be 

 prepared to assist the patrons in their selection. He will also 

 probably supervise its construction in order to prevent mistakes 

 being made which might interfere with its success. When sev- 

 eral patrons become interested in the proper selection, breeding, 

 feeding and handling of their animals, other patrons who failed 

 at first to enthuse over the proposition will see the benefits 

 resulting from such work and then realize that they are losing 

 valuable assistance which might be theirs for asking. When 

 producers become interested in the problems already referred to 

 they will do considerable thinking for themselves. They will 

 soon realize that high class animals must be kept in better stables 

 and it is likely that barns will be remodeled and perhaps new 

 ones built and other improvements made. In this work the 

 demonstrator can again make his services valuable. He can 

 prepare plans which w411 provide for proper light and ventilation, 

 also comfortable quarters for cows and the necessary provisions 

 for keeping them clean. There may be many other ways in 

 which his services could be profitably used and, if his plans are 

 practical and successful from a financial standpoint, the cream- 

 ery and the community will find his services indispensable. 



The successful operation of the creamery does not depend 

 alone on its ability to meet competition and to pay prices which 

 are satisfactory to the patrons ; it also depends upon its ability 

 to make dairying profitable in the community and to develop a 

 class of dairymen who are interested and successful and who 

 owe their success in a large measure to the efforts of the cream- 

 ery.
