Ilosever. the selection of tho burn yard ahoiild alwaya bo given atten tion by the stockman. lie should bo careful to piufe the yards and lota where the boat aur (are draluaise may be obtnlnod. Often much run be acconiplhaliud by a little uradliiK a'"' atucktnen and farmer tbould ninku iiho of the proper changes In the surface nnd (tradci to prod mo the beat results. I have ob served ninny yards which could be Separating Profitable From Unprofitable Cowi Vudoubti'dly hulf of the rows upon farms other than llmao comiKisitiK tbe largo modornly operated tali:?s, are kept at a loan. This Includes the ordinary dalrymnn'a animals, as well as the farmer's herd and tho borne dairy animal or animal. There are few row owners who know the exact producing power ot their stock. They know that some of the animals lire moro and better milk than the others, but they have no Idea wheth er tho bint tows they possess are jli'ldluK them a profit or loss. Tbe keeplux of even a sIiikIo ani mal that does not yield a sufficient return to puy tor the food consumed la an nnnwoajmry expenditure. It routs no more to keep a cow that Rlvea 6000 pounds of milk annually than oiio folding but 4000 pounds. It I the cow that Rlvea the Rrenlost return for tho food consumed that tho dalrvimm should consider. Dairy ing, at Its beat Is run on a narrow marKln of profit. What makes one, row better than another Is tho Inborn tendency to produce and the euro alio receives. No matter how well an animal Is cared for, if heavy production Is not a part of her roninoiittlon sho will nerer be profitable. On the other hand, there aro thousands of excel lent animals that are not Riven an opportunity to do their best. I in proper fi-edlnR and sloven care are keeping them In llm class of small producers. The rjire the nritlnarr herd rerelves Is nut conducive to treat results. The best enttlo will oot become profitable If ill lreato-1, ponrty icti na Improperly attended. it la impossible to tell from an anl mal'i outward appearance what she la capable of dolus;. A cow may have every sign that smacks of l?avy yielding and atllt fall far abort of fins; a profitable Individual. Then arnln the worst looking old arrub of an animal niny be the greatest proanrer of the herd. Outward an pearsneea count for little. It .s the actual production that rounla for somelhlnir. Dairy rattle are very do ceptlve In their conformation and tbe beat Judge of atock cannot tell whnl a cow h cupubln of doing when It cornea to yielding milk. In acparatlna; the poorer animals from tho COod one ftin itnlrtmun Jhotild first bring the entire herd tip to Its greatest produclnR power '"un rurerul nud proper lWdlim nd tbe best of care.

Tbe build Inns, therefore, must be provided with eave sponta. There are those who maintain that thoroiiRb dralnaRe of a barnyard per mits a loss of fertility In the in a nine washed away. The objection Is not well founded, however. It Is rea sonnble that with a Rood, firm and dry barnyard, leas manure win h,. lost than where the mud Is knee deep. the milk, the value ot an animal U best Indicated by tho number ol pounds of fiit she produces. To find the amount of fnt a cow produces one must know the pounds-of milk she yielded and tbe percentage of fut the milk contains.
