PART ONE 



THE PRODUCTION AND CARE OF DAIRY PRODUCTS 



The trend of modern farm management is to put each 

 separate enterprise upon a sound business basis. The dairy- 

 man is fortunate in having perfected an accurately detailed 

 system which enables him to detect the smallest leak in the 

 business anywhere from the time the milk leaves the cow 

 until it is sold as a finished product. In order to insure a fair 

 margin of profit, he needs to produce at the lowest cost, in- 

 crease the output of each cow to the maximum, and utilize all 

 of the by-products to advantage. 



The first problem before the student of dairy science is 

 to study the best methods of production and care of milk 

 and cream on the farm. This end of the business is essen- 

 tially the most difficult to perfect, owing to the widely vary- 

 ing conditions, and needs a close study of the technicalities of 

 dairy science applied in a practical way to actual conditions.
