milk price, or other suitable classifica¬ 
tion price. 
3. Give the man who says “Take what 
I make” the butter and cheese price. 
When a man falls out of his contract 
in No. 1 or No. 2, let him go into No. 3 
until he gets back. Then you have an in¬ 
centive to orderly production that is the 
prerequisite of that orderly selling that 
Mr. Slocum so rightly deems essential. 
The producers ’ product is graded by its 
value to the Trade and his organization. 
This principle applies to every other 
business. Why not ours? Can ,you 
imagine any dairyman with business in¬ 
stincts who would not prefer to get top 
price for his contract and whatever he 
could for his surplus or when short? 
There are always a few of the best dairy¬ 
men in each community who carry the 
rest with them. Such a plan is bound to 
attract them, and if properly advanced 
form a basis upon which all groups could 
consolidate. Moreover, in substantially 
the same form, it has received the offi¬ 
cial approval of the New York Confer¬ 
ence Board. clarence Johnson.

Milk Notes 
The Dairymen’s League Co-operative 
Association reports a total of 5,124 with¬ 
drawals during the period from February 
12 to 28. Last year the total with¬ 
drawals reported for same period w r ere 
10,768. Of the total cancellations last 
month, only 2,989 are given as active 
members, the others representing those 
who are no longer milk producers. 
The price for the month of January 
was $2 per 100 lbs. in the 200-210-mile 
zone. The deductions are for expenses, 
8 cents and certificates. 5 cents, leaving 
a cash return to patrons of $1.87. 
The price for March remains substan¬ 
tially the same as for February . 
The average price of 92-score butter for 
February was 50.5 cents per pound and 
of average-run cheese. 20.5 cents. 
Sheep vs. Cattle 
In reply to J. B.’s inquiry with regard 
to cows and sheep, would say that I 
should think it would depend upon his 
market for milk, and the labor question. 
Seven years ago I bought 10 registered 
Shropshire ewes, bred, for $200. They 
have •brought me in $2,103.19. This 
amount includes premiums from two local 
fairs. At present I have on hand 18 
head, which I value at $410. During the 
seven years I paid out $310 for three 
rams and five aged ewes. One six-year- 
old ewe has just had her fifth pair of 
twins. She has raised all but one so far, 
and I have had $120 for six of these and 
have a fine two-year-old ram left. Some 
think that twin lambs do not pay, but I 
have not found it so. I usually winter 
about 20 head, half breeding ewes, bal¬ 
ance young stock. My sheep are on pas¬ 
ture on an average of six months. I feed 
grain and hay once a day for two months, 
and hay twice a day, with grain at noon, 
the other four months. The only feed I 
buy is wheat bran, which I feed with 
whole oats, about 12 quarts per day. 
Aside from feeding during the Winter 
months the only labor required is the 
shearing, dipping and extra care at lamb¬ 
ing time. This last I found could be re¬ 
duced to a minimum by not having the 
lambs come too early (unless you have a 
good warm place for them), plenty of ex¬ 
ercise during the Wintei’, breeding only 
good strong ewes, and feeding no corn 
or Timothy hay. About the best I could 
have done in dairy cows for $200 would 
have been tw r o head. I doubt very much 
if the net returns would have been as 
gi*eat, considering the exti’a labor re¬ 
quired, additional cost for suitable grain, 
and value of stock on hand at present 
time. It is a question whether purebreds 
or grades pay best. Personally, I prefer 
the former, as I get about the same re¬ 
turns with half the number, and much 
more satisfaction. Probably this would 
not work out as well if a larger flock was 
kept. C. J. S.
