12 THE FARM DAIRY. 



we keep a oow per acre (whicli is a possibility) 

 and she makes 400 lbs. of butter worth $100, 

 and $20 worth of skim-milk at a feed cost of $50 

 and a labor cost of $20, we ha,ve a net income of 

 $50 which is five per cent interest on $1,000. It 

 requires a great effort to reach this mark but 

 when one is year by year approaching this 

 standard, he is successful and happy, and 

 should be making every one about him happy. 



Future Profits Certain. — The dairyman will 

 see that there are greater opportunities for his 

 boy on the farm than elsewhere and will educate 

 the son to fill the opening that is here already 

 for him. Many are not appreciating the chances 

 for farmers' boys on the farm. Many city boys 

 are seeing these opportunities before the farm- 

 ers' boys or the fanners themselves see them. 



The dairyman will lea;m that the cow pro- 

 duces human food at less cost than any other 

 of the domestic animals and she will be doing 

 business when our lands reach a price that will 

 force the owners to quit producing b6ef, mutton 

 and pork.
