HOW MUCH DOES IT COST 



TO PRODUCE A QUART OF MILK, AND HOW MUCH 

 OUGHT YOU TO GET FOR IT? 



That depends upon : 



1. The kind of a farmer you are. 



2. How many tons of hay you obtain from an acre, 

 and how large a quantity of corn each acre produces. 



3. How much it costs you to grow and harvest this 

 raw material. 



4. Whether you grow peas and oats, clover, millet, soy 

 beans and fodder corn to keep up the milk flow during a dry spell. 



5. The kind of concentrates you buy, your method of 

 purchasing, and the prices you pay for them. 



6. The kind of cows you keep and the care they get. 



7. The quality of the milk produced, the way it is 

 cared for, and your skill in marketing it. 



8. Your method of keeping accounts. 



Possibly a quart of milk costs you 2 1-2 cents, possibly 5 

 cents. Would it not be well to find out? Perhaps you are get- 

 ting 12 cents a gallon for your milk; can't you obtain 14, 16, or 

 18 cents? Try it, and if you do not succeed at once, try again.
