Farmers are constantly being ad- vised to weed out the unprofitable dairy cows from their herds. The advice is a good one and should be followed judiciously. The test should be impartial and conducted in the best interests both or the cow and her owner. It will not pay to keep cows that fall below the stand- ard of milk and cream prodection, but it will be found that evere year there will be more or less clanige in the animals. • Cows that last 3 -ear ha'd a good, 'record may -this yeee show, signs of falling off. This may be due to age, food or other causes. If the cause caunot be -removed, it is time to replace her by a better one. There never was a better time than the present for weeding out un- profitable cows. Market pekes for cattle are high end by a little judi- cious feeding even an old cow may be made to give a good aecouet of herself at the butcher's stall. Dairy- ing pays to -day as wen as it ever did and will pay better during the next two or three years. The high prices for beef cattle have alrea,dy stimulated farmers and breeders in this direction, and the dairy cow is being overlooked. The effect of 1,thie will be felt to a greater extent next year and there will be a dearth of dairy cattle. Tag best authori- ties claim that there will lee a. pre- mium far dairy cowin tidi near fu- ture, and. that prices for butter and milk ore bound to inereese.
