"It has been clearly demonstrated
that. the good dairy cow, is a /more,
economical producer than. any other
farm animal," says Prof. E. S. Meld,
bald, Dominion Animal Huabandmarie
"Not only does she actually yield More
product Vern a given amount of feed,
but she dee0 that at the -leruit . cost
and the greatest profit."
"Notwithstanding these facts, the
production of *milk and :fat from the
avqage cow is exceedingly low, being
approximately 3,800• pounds of milk
and 10 pounds of -fat Per annum,
_vvIdelk_in value es"leses than the total
coat 'Orprodeetiaiii7--lereeertheleeie it
has been clearly denionstrated that
by better feeding aird management
this average may be easily increased
from 30 to 80 tee with an increased
cost of feed and labor of only 10 to 20
per tent,;. the margin would be largely
prefit. Such an increase IS not only
a financial necessity but 'the patriotic
duty of every dairy farmer."
