A Family Foundation 
Consistent line breeding has developed 
at Meridale Farms four definite families 
of strong dairy type and exceptional pro¬ 
ducing ability, as is attested by the au¬ 
thenticated records of 117 Meridale 
Jerseys who averaged 7894 lbs. milk, 
509 lbs. butter each on yearly test. 
One of these families is the Sardas, 
and one of the best Saydas is Sayda's 
Queen of Ventnor 1(38033. who averaged 
540 lbs. butter a year for ten consecu¬ 
tive years, and produced 11,433 lbs. 
milk. 809 lbs. butter when eleven years 
old. The average authenticated record 
of herself and two daughters is 740 lbs. 
butter each per year. 
To other dairymen who are working 
for heavy and persistent production we i 
offer a special selection consisting of 
two granddaughters of Sayada’s Queen 
of Ventnor with a son of her full 
brother. Sayda’s Heir 3rd. They are 
good individuals, backed by production 
through everv line, and comprise a family 
foundation which enables their purchaser to 
profit by our quarter-century of herd-building ; 
experience—he begins where we leave off. \ 
Pedigrees and particulars gladly furnished on 
request.

iamb section of Pennsylvania? What is 
to prevent my home neighborhood from 
being an equally famous part of Mary¬ 
land? Why should we send to New York 
for our Dorsets. and to Indiana for our 
Tunis rams? What is to prevent our 
being noted as breeders as well as grow¬ 
ers? Why, between the two neighbor¬ 
hoods we could keep a line of purebred j 
stock that would supply us forever with | 
breeding stock, without any outside help. 
What’s the reason? We have the right i 
conditions. We know how to care for ] 
our sheep. We know how to turn out 
first-class breeding stock. We have the 
best markets for money sheep anyone 
could ask for. We haven’t got together, j 
that’s all. What is more, we do not 
intend to get together. The opportunity j 
can go hang before we’ll give up our | 
own little favorite lines of work or have 
anybody tell us what to do. Meanwhile j 
we are not keeping our boys with us as 
we should. Meanwhile another people I 
is coming into possession of our homes j 
and farming lauds, first as renters and j 
later to buy from our heirs if not from , 
us. We shall build up neighborhood in- \ 
dustries when either we or our children 
arc starved into it! I half wonder if it ! 
would not be better to start in now, and 
hold the land for us and ours by making 
it the foundation for the biggest success 
yet. Anyway, let’s study over it a bit 
harder; possibly light will come.

THE LARGE STOCK FARM. 
I note with interest the article of j 
Mr. Phelps on page 130 and also your 
note in the “Brevities.” I received your 
paper after I returned from a meeting 
of the Oneida County Farm Improvement 
Association, where we were addressed by 
Professors Livermore and Talbum of 
Cornell. Prof. Livermore gave an ad¬ 
dress on farms that had been under the 1 
supervision of Cornell, some two or three I 
thousand. I believe, and had slips to j 
show us that the farm of 160 to 350 
acres or thereabouts were the farms that . 
paid. He also proved that the farmer J 
fix ing on a farm of 30 to 50 acres made j 
barely a hired man’s xvages. Of course 
you understand these farms had about the 
same number of cows, but the large farms 
could raise a variety of crops, and these 
offset the poor showing of the cows on j 
the majority of farms. He showed that I 
it took very little more machinery to j 
run a large farm than a small one. He j 
also proved that a large farm got more [ 
out of its horses, acres, etc; also that the ! 
large farmer had as good a home or bet- j 
ter than the small one; better buildings. , 
etc., in the three counties under their ob- i 
serration. 
I have had this idea in my mind for a 
long time, as I have SO acres now. with 
a man the year around. I can handle 
twice as many and crop the land more j 
and buy commercial fertilizer instead of 
keeping more cows. I think, or rather ! 
know, it would pay. else why is it that 
the large farms always have the cash 
to buy, and good-looking buildings, 
etc., and the small ones don’t, no 
matter how hard they work. 
Of course 1 am uot counting the ap¬ 
ple farms or market gardening farms in 
on this; but the dairy farms. In the 
West the farms do not keep a lot of 
dairy cattle to eat their heads off at the 
present prices of milk and grain, but 
raise more cereals, hay, clover, etc., to 
sell. 
The Farm Improvement Association 
has organized a cooperative association ; 
under the laws of New State State, and 
incorporated for $10,000 to buy grass 
seeds, clover, lime, phosphate, and also 
to sell better produce of farmers. It lias 
started at $5 per share, and is trying to 
scatter the shares as thin as possi w er 
the county, so that all the farmers 
desire may come in now aud benefit them¬ 
selves later. a. j. lam.

According to figures compiled by the de¬ 
partment of animal husbandry of Illinois 
University, a cow must produce 4.000 pounds 
of milk and 100 pounds of fat a year to pay 
for feed and labor. Every 1.000 pounds above 
this brings a yearly profit of $10. Thus a 5.000 
pound cow earns S10 a year, an 8,000 pound 
cow earns $40. but when production reaches 
10,000 pounds the profit is $83. 
Systematic investigation confirms the wis- j 
dom of those who have taken up the Holstein* 
Friesian breed.
