After  about  one  year’s  time  I  learned 
to  feed  properly.  I  used  Alfalfa  hay,

We  note  the  fight  witch  you  are  making 
in  New  York  State  for  bettor  prices  of 
milk  from  farmers,  and  we  thoroughly 
approve  of  this  movement.  I  went  into 
the  dairy  business  myself  about  six  years 
ago.  full  of  enthusiasm  and  expecting  to 
make  money.  I  tried  to  buy  the  best, 
grade  cows  obtainable,  paid  $C5  to  .$100 
each,  and  tried  to  be  very  careful.  I 
weighed  and  tested  the  milk  myself,  test¬ 
ing  over  50  days,  and  kept  absolute  rec¬ 
ords  of  the  herd,  showing  what  each  cow 
produced  and  also  what  I  fed  to  each 
cow.  After  very  severe  weeding  out  and 
discarding  two  or  three  cows  to  every 
one  that  T  kept,  I  got  the  herd  into  good 
shape,  nearly  every  cow  producing  7,000 
lbs.  of  milk  per  annum,  average  test  about 
4  per  cent.  A  few  of  the  best  cows  made

Barney,  Milford,  were  part  of  the  exhibit. 
They  won  48  ribbons,  six  of  which  were 
given  for  champion  and  grand-champion 
animals.  Though  Otsego  has  a  number 
of  very  fine  herds  of  Guernsey  cattle  but 
one  was  shown,  that  of  M.  H.  Packer  of 
Milford.  This  herd  won  nine  ribbons. 
The  two-year-ohl  Guernsey  bull  I.yncb- 
mero  Lord  Roberts,  3rd,  owned  by  James 
Fen 'more  Cooper  of  Cooperstown,  won 
first  prize.  The  Jersey  herds  of  Henry 
L.  War  dwell,  Springfield  Center,  and 
Kdgerton  Brothers,  Morris,  added  much 
to  the  exhibit.  There  were  S8  in  number

I  am  too  busy  to  do  much  of  my  own 
work.  I  received  ,$1.50  per  100  lbs.  for 
my  milk.  The  first  year  I  did  not  ex¬ 
port  to  make  money,  and  I  did  not.  The 
second  year  I  expected  to  make  money, 
but  to  tny  surprise  was  forced  lo  admit 
at  tbe  end  of  the  year  that  if  I  was  ahead 
at  all,  it  was  only  to  the  extent  of  the 
manure  which  I  had  produced  with  the 
herd.  The  succeeding  year  I  thought  I 
would  surely  do  better,  but  each  year  I 
was  forced  to  admit  that  I  had  not  made 
any  money  again  this  year. 
About  18  months  ago  I  lost  my  sire, 
right  during  the  quarantine.  My  cows 
were  fresh  too  long  before  coming  in 
again,  a  ml  the  result  was  about  $600 
loss.  After  figuring  this  up  and  remem¬ 
bering  all  of  the  reasonably  good  years 
when  I  had  merely  broken  even,  I  de¬ 
cided  that  it  was  impossible  fur  me  to 
make  anything  out  of  the  business  at  the 
prices  which  we  were  being  paid.  I  tried 
to  obtain  more,  failed  in  this,  and  conse¬ 
quently  sold  out.  This  country  here  is  in 
very  poor  shape  to  organize  and  get  any 
better  prices.  Most  fanners  who  have 
cows  at  all  keep  about  six,  two  for  their 
own  use,  the  rest  to  sell  milk  from ;  con¬ 
sequently  they  hardly  know  or  care 
whether  they  rne  making  money  out  of 
the  business  or  not.  Probably  everyone 
of  them  is  losing.  ciias.  b.  wing.

A  Discussion  on  Tuberculosis 
On  page  1047  of  The  R.  N.-Y.  in 
speaking  of  the  conditions  which  are  now 
facing  dairymen,  we  said : 
“When  laws  are  passed  to  compel  in¬ 
spection  of  duiry  premises  and  cattle  and 
when  cows  are  tested  for  tuberculosis 
who  is  to  receive  the  benefit?  Tbe  pub¬ 
lic — tbe  consumers  in  whose  behalf  those 
things  are  supposed  to  be  done.  Who 
lias  to  pay  the  expenses  of  making  these 
dairies  ‘sanitary’?  Who  suffers  most  of 
the  loss  when  cattle  are  coudemuod  and 
slaughtered?  The  farmers!  Thus  tbe 
benefit  goes  to  tho  consumers  while  tbe 
expenses  go  to  the  farmers.  It  will  not 
do  to  say  that  in  the  end  the  consumers 
pay  the  h'lls.  That  might  he  so  in  some 
cases,  and  with  some  products,  but  iu 
tire  case  of  milk,  especially  iu  this  great 
city,  the  farmers  aud  consumers  have 
nothing  to  do  w  ith  the  price.” 
l>r.  Charles  E.  Thorne  of  the  Ohio  Ex¬ 
periment  Station  takes  issue  with  that; 
“The  God-given  Tuberculin  Test” 
I  most  emphatically  disagree  with  you 
when  you  say  that  tbe  fanner  is  the 
chief  loser  when  bis  premises  are 
cleaned  of  bov'ne  tuberculosis.  Nine¬ 
teen  years  ago  the  Ohio  Experiment  Sta¬ 
tion  went  through  this  experience  at  tliu 
cost  of  30  cattle.  It  was  a  big  bill  to 
pay,  but  tbe  premises  were  charted  up 
and  kept  clean,  the  God-given  tuberculin 
test  was  repeated  every  Winter,  and  not 
tin  animal  has  since  been  lost  with  this 
disease,  although  previous  to  the  clean¬ 
up  fine  cattle  hod  been  dropping  out 
every  few  months.  The  Station  now  owns 
a  beautiful  disease-free  herd  of  Jersey, 
Holstein  and  Angus  cattle,  many  of  them 
descendants  of  the  diseased  cattle  of  19 
years  ago,  aud  throughout  these  19  years 
it  has  not  lost  a  single  animal  from  this 
disease. 
As  a  purely  business  proposition,  tbei'e- 
fore,  without  regard  to  the  practical  cer¬ 
tainty  that  if  the  disease  had  been  left 
unchecked  somebody’s  babes  would  have 
been  infected  with  it,  the  only  sensible 
thing  to  do  was  to  clean  up.  Of  course 
it  is  a  lo<>  to  the  farmer  to  get  tubercu-
