When farming on high priced land, there is nothing more 

 evident than that to make it pay it has got to be brought down 

 to a business system just the same as the v^ork of the manufac- 

 turer, the banker, the merchant, or any other industrial line of 

 activity. This business never looked brighter, and the possi- 

 bilities greater than at the present time, with all our scientific 

 information in regard to breeding, balanced rations for our 

 cows, to insure large yields, and balanced rations for our soils 

 to insure greater crop production. The dairyman should grow 

 as many acres of alfalfa as corn in the silo, and raise this dairy 

 business above drudgery, by having, a system that will bring 

 things around on time. There is no broader or safer field for 

 the young man to embark in if he will and can.
