Pro and Con.

People generally look upon a dull market with fearful forebodings. 4 This is natural, as low prices mean low revenue and affects all tradesmen as well as the farmer. The dairyman at this time of the year expects high prices for butter and lakes extra care of his cows. If lie does not realize a corresponding income in return, is apt to curtail the feed on the ground that it won’t pay. This is a mistake. To curtail feed now, will only lessen the profits when prices for butter improve. Whenever you allow your cows to shrink in ftesh aud tnilk, you are doing them a permanent injury.
