Perhaps the advocates for the imirmmi variety of cows are not altogether hlime less in th e matter, in that they hive laid too much emphasis on the tru b list it costs no more to keep a good cow thu a poor one. Thia is true when appM to the food of support, and nietunbly true much further. But it is not tine when carried to extremes. The cow thit producet 1,000 pounds ol butt-r in twelve months, or 000 or 4 0 p om). must necessarily consume more food than one producing 15J pounds. Here is where the law of the "conservslim of energy " comes in. One must not ei- pect something from nothimr. Then sibilities are in the feed. The cow trans forms these possibilities into milk, from which we make or. shall we sav. eitrttt the butter. Cows differ in power or ca pacity. Some can work uo a larue amount of food with but little waste ind transform it into milk as their finished product, while others too manv. in m waste much of the energy contained in tne food tliey eat. Just how this tir ing or waste occurs we are not at ptwnt concerned in inquiring. Our preeent purpose ia to call attention to tha fact that too much must not be expected ol the machine, which in this case is the cow. That cow is the most profitable which requires the least expenditure for ioodof snpp rt and after that can convert large qunnt t es of feed into milk well filled witn the elements of butter and ch Such a cow. as C.
