PRIVATE, DAIRYING 



IRVIN NOWLAN, OF TOULON, ILLINOIS. 



Gentlemen: — This is a side of the dairy industry that has received 

 buH little attention heretofore in a general manner. 



While, perhaps, there is not so much capital invested in the business 

 at any one central point, the private dairyman is practically a whole 

 world in himself. 



He must be breeder, raiser, feeder, milker, buttermaker and, often- 

 times his own salesman, and to a certain extent a consumer of his own 

 product.
