The Most Successful'Dairymen Are Silo Users.—Other Notes.

From Hoad’s Dairyman. It will pay you to have a silo. The world was not made in a day; neither was the dairy business. It requires lots of thought and a few lead pencils to make it a success. The dairy business may be new to you but it is not new to others. It is not a question of “will it pay?”, it’s a question of ‘’will you make it pay?” Don’t imagine that the dairy business is “penny” work. There are dollars in it if you go at it right. Don’t go at it half-hearted. Be cautious, but not afraid to take a hold. If you get cold feet, forget about them. Find a nice comfortable seat somewhere, try smiling, and Just imagine that everybody is your friend. If you don’t do this, cage yourself, don’t try to freeze everybody else. A boy’s best friend is his mother. But the farmer’s best friend is hi 3 cow. Smile uppn her, pat her cheek, tickle her chin. Don’t try to do everything, do that which will build up your soil and make you prosperous. The hand separator is indispensible to the farmer. It saves trips and horse flesh. If you want your milk hauled for nothing see the charity board of the ladies’ aid. If you want to kill the calf, shut oil it’s feed until it’s big enough to eat corn—works the same with a creamery. No use to make a pie unless you bake it; and it’s no use to build a creamery unless you support it. Join dairy reading with dairy thought and get busy.
