E Former Cblcf of Dairy Division, Bureau of Animal Industry, Halted States Department of Agriculture, TOE pursuit of dairy farming de pends for It success upon cer tain fundamental conditions. First, tbe owner of tbo busi ness himself, or otherwise (be agent or manager wbo Uai tbo Immediate con trol and personal direction of tbe work, tnunt have a natural fondness for ani mals, prompting to generous and kind treatment, aa well aa good Judgment In election, breeding and care. It la not sufficient tbnt he abould be borate man or fond of cattle In general. For beat reaulta be abould bare a apodal liking for tbe dairy cow over aodabove II oilier animal. Second, tbe cattle must be good ef tbelr kind and of variety eulted to tbe work. Third, tbe farm abould be specially adapted to tbe branch of husbandry In view. A good dairy farm la pretty certain to bo good for general farming, but many good farm, in general are not suited to dairying. Tbe dairy farm abould be carefully selected, all tbe requirement of tbe business being welt considered. let many disadvantages so far aa tbe farm la concerned may be auccessfully overcome by tbe skillful dairyman, and dairying la some form la profitably conducted wltbout any farm, eo tbat tbla condition. Important as It Is. can not be regarded aa essential Fourth,, It la welt to atudy tbe cbaracter of tbe accessible markets and tbe means of communication. Location and tbe line t t t 1 !. ' : r - , r Photo by T.nncue experiment atatloa. of dairying to be followed may be largely controlled by tbe markets. In tome cases tbe markets form an es sential condition, but modern facilities for transportation make tbe location of the dairy farm with relation to Its markets comparatively unimportant Like almost all other occupations at tbe preaeut day, dairying has become divided Into several distinct and spe cial lines. Tbese differ maluly as to the form of product and the manner of disposing of It Milk or cream may be produced for delivery to consumers, and this delivery may be direct or In direct Tbe sa me products may be de livered to a factory for manufacture Into butter or cheese, or the milk prod uct of the herd may be worked up at home and there converted into butter or cheese. ' Tbe prudent dairyman should Brst consider which Hue of business be will pursue. In so doing be must have regard for all his circum stances tbe location, markets, farm. buildings, water and Ice supply, the la bor at bis command and his own pref erence end prospects for profit Some dnirvmen prefer a "general purpose cow," which Is a member of a specially developed milk producing family from one of the beef grades or grades of such stock. An animal is thus secured which has a large frame. ts easily kept In good flesh and fattens soon when not milking heavily. Sucb a one also has large calves, profitable for Teal or for growing as steers Even If such animals are not so pro ductive while In the dairy their meat making proclivities may make up for It There are two or three or the es tablished breeds of cattle which clr.'.m to possess combined qualities for meat and milk. , On the other nana, many dairymen (Including the writer) prefer cattle of the distinct class or type es pecially adapted to dairy purposes alone. This class Includes various fam Hies and breeds, all having the marked characteristics which distinguish the milk producer. Owners of such cows expect them to be so profitable as milk ers that their beef producing quality and tbe final disposition of their ear cMHses may be entirely Ignored, and the calves, except bo far s wanted to raine for tbe ditry, ire gtveo little con- ! sldirstlon. Wb!h of tbpe lines of policy should be pamued every dulry uian mut d?)ermtie fr hlmwjlf. i Horn, dairy cntlSe ar noted for the quantity it milk tliey produce, otbrs j fur tbe tilth quulity or rU'btie. of their milk, which means they are good but ter producers.' Home combine quantity and quality. There are cows of active bnblts whirl! forage well on a wide range 6t scanty pasture and will profitably work tip the coarser kinds of food in winter. There are others which bava proved tbelr capacity for making good returns when more cloncly confined and subjected to high feeding. Some cows giv a great flow of milk for a comparatively short season,. and others are noted for an even, steady yield of milk the year through. As a rule, tbe different dairy characteristics named pertain to different breeds, eo that every dairyman is likely to find some one breed of dairy cattle better enlted to his wants than any other, Tbere Is no special cbeesemaklng cow. Tbe tewt butter cow Is slso the best for baese. This fact has been demon strated beyond dispute. Tber tre two very different way of forming a dairy herd and of maintain ing it size and quality. It may be done by buying or by breeding, and these two methods may be combined. Tbe purchasing plan Is practiced to considerable extent by those wbo produce milk for town and city supply. In a few cases It bas been known to tie successful where- the work of tbe herd was to make butter. Applied In Its extreme form, cows are bought wben matured and at tbelr prime. Judged almost exclusively by tbelr milk yield, are highly fed. so as to keep steadily gaining in flesb, and are sold, usually to the butcher, aa soon as they cease to be profitable as milk ers. Tbe bull may be of any kind so long as be get tbe cows In calf, as tbe calves are of value only as caus ing "fresh" cows and are disposed of as soon aa possible. The first modifi cation of this system is to keep extra good cows for several seasons and the next to raise heifers from some of tbe best milkers to replenish tbe berd. This way of making np a berd and keeping good Its number requires abundant capital and rare Judgment In buying and In selling. It cannot be recommended to ono lacking experi ence, and even tbe shrewd buyer runs great risk of Introducing disease. Tbe other extreme Is to begin with a few well selected animals aa a foun dation and gradually build up the berd to tbe size desired by Judicious breed ing and natural Increase. This method takes time, and time which may be money, but It Is by far tbe safer and mora satisfactory in its results. A desirable combination In starting Is to buy tbe number of cows desired nd good animals of tbe sort determin ed Jn advance. If one's means will permit include a few superior cows and a. first class bull at any rate. Let the cows selected be such as bsve bad two calves and perhaps three, so tbat Uiey may be Judged by tbelr own de velopment and yet be young enough to Improve and be In full profit for some years. With a berd thus formed be gin at once the work of improvement by breeding and selection. Sell prompt ly any cow which proves unsatisfac tory and replace ber by the best In crease of tbe herd, or purchase occa sionally en animal which will raise the average quality. ;, A dairyman can hardly be advised to buy at once a full stock of pure bred cattle of any breed if bis sole ob ject and dependence for profit Is to be tbe dairy product of the berd. Such a venture will necessitate large Invest ment and should Include the breeding nt registered animals, for sale at re munerative prices, as a part of the mislneas. Well bred and well selected grade cows of the line of blood de sired seem to be tbe most profitable animals for tbe practical dairyman or at least tbe best to begin with. If en terprtslng and progressive the owner will hardly be content with grades only, lie may begin with only bis bull pure bred. Presently be will want a registered cow to match, then one or two more. Tbe bull Is constantly referred to as "the head" of the berd, and that trite saying. "The bull Is half the herd,' abould never be forgotten. Tbe grade dam may be selected and largely re tted upon to give size, form, constltu tion and capacity of production to ber heifer call Its dairy quality, the In bred power to Increase the richness of Bilk, Is derived from the pure bred sire. One cow may prove a poor dam or fall to breed and still give profit in milk. Such a loss la comparatively trivial and tbe fault easily corrected. But If tbe bull falls or proves a poor sire the entire increase of a year may be lost In getting a bull get the best, or at least approach that standard as nearly as possible. A common error among dairymen Is to use Immature bulls end to dispose of good. ones before their merit as sires has been fairly proved. Hull calves are cheap, and young bulls ave considered much easier to handle. But It Is good advice to the buyer to purchase a bull of some ace. whose progeny proves bis value as a breeder, rather than a .calf of exceptional pedi gree, and to the owner, having a sire of proved excellence, to beep hira and ae him for years or as long as be shows himself potent and prepotent Of course the question of too close In breeding Is not forgotten and must not be overlooked by the breeder. The writer Is a thorough believer in the use of mature bulls of known value as sires. . : The chief objection made to bulls of some age ts tbat they are likely to be tclous and dangerous. But the great majority of bulls of all the dairy breeds ean be bandied without serious tro-jble If properly reared and managed. LIFE I SO 6HORT. Uf.
