The serious question confronting the dairyman next to having Iwlter cows, is the one. of lietter and yet cheaper rations for them, and possibly quite as imiiortant, from the fact that, let the cow U>. as g<ood as she may, a costly ration lowers the profit of her produce and actually Iputs her on a level with a jMxirer cow, fed on a ration produced at a minimum cost, writes Mr. John Gould. I am lieginning to think that what we call profits is not so much in the amount *e get, a.s in the coat of the productioa, supplying and making at the least cist, and that now includes the raw material, to us' a manufactuiv er's phrase. [Every manufacturer to- day is on the look-out for cheaper raw material, and that material must pos- sess as nearly 100 per cent of the finished jiitidnct as . possible. The iron manufacturer scouts using Iwg ore with io i>er cent, of iron in it.,and now seeks the 1,-est Mes^lia ore with its high |>er Czfnt of iron. The old furnaces and their slow and wasteful metluKls are alian- doned, and the plant to-day lakes the raw ore, and before the material ha.s a chance lo cool, it is made into the fin- ished sleel rail liar of Bessemer steel, or structural material for bridge or build- ing. Herein is a valuable lesson for the dtiry farmer. The cow giving 3,000 pound.s of milk, only in warm weather al that, is the old-fashioned furnace, and Ihe log or.' is the material being fed into it. To-iliy all this is chang.'d with Ihe advanc'd dairyman. His cow- must give more than (i,OO0 iiounds of milk yearly, anil the food it consumea must not lie twr,-thirds fiber, and in- digestible material. More, this cow- must le protecied from the -wvather. and the fiKxl for self-protes'tion minim- ized, so that milk can lie made from material which would otherwise !« used for fuel and means of locomotion, and sieek health by exeirise. Leaving the cow as a milker out of the question, to be ronsideivd later. on. the vital i>oinl of what may lie called the economics of the (iairy, is hiw- to produce the motst good food u|ion an acre and how- to get it liefore the cow in the liest manner, that it will lie uasily digesleil and pal- atable; for thia maimer of pleasing the cow's app<'tite cannot lie ignored in se- curing a large milk yield, li Is t>ui>- posed to lie an et>lab|ished fa<'l thai the pro|iori ions of a lialaiu-ed ration are aliout a.s one to five, i .e., for every six [lounds of food consumed, alioul five go to make animal heat and <me lo make blood ojid liiMue, or red meat. So we tell aloul feeding five (>,)umls of car- Iwhydratea, and one of albuminous mat- ter, the latter, in the dairy, the niilk pniduciii)^ pirt of tl>t< ration aliandon the ola mixed grass meadow's, put clover in rotation â€" when it v/ill catch, and concentrate food-grow'. g on fe»-er acres, milk few-er cows to get the same amount of milk, -^ad in the coid months protect the cows from the weather and try to have ihem turn fuel into force and heat rather than to raise the temi>erature of all out of doors lietween the bam and river. Some of my experience and methods may form another chapter w-ilh the editor's consent. DEMAND FOR FAMILY COWS. Of late years the tendency of the more wealthy class of our city popula- tion is to fieek Jiuburban residences, owing to purer air in the country and the demand in the city proix'r for fac- tories, shops and business houses. The extension of the electric car lines has ! made il possible for the business man I to live in the country where he anii his family can have all the luxurie.s of the farm yet do business in the city. I No sulurban resid^^nce is complete without one or more Jersey cows, not merely for lawn ornaments but more prfiperly to supply the table with ' healthful food, lioth luxuries and sub- stantials. And by the way, in all the cuisine calendar ther Is no other source from which you can get so many pal- atable disbesv as from the cow products. Professional m^n. mechanics and lalior- ers when situated so that they can keep them want family cows. "The de- mand. We know of no brighter ojien- ing iu the farm or animal industry to I the fanner than the raising of a clasj of cowssuitable for this tradiei. It would not Inquire a large capital, neither would thoroughbred stock lie neces- sary, yet the nearer to this â€" the lyjie of the animal lieing more firmly fixed and iV|iroduction more certainâ€" the liet- ter the chances for success would lie. At least one would hardly expect to succeed by using anything short of a thoroughbred sire. It would require neat and convenient stables, yet not nec4>ssarily expenj'ive onP.s. " A few- cows of the desired tyi>e for foundation. The milk pro<lucts from these should pay all eare of keep and care and a giKid dividend on the investment liesides. The offspinng would lie clear gain. These should lie kindly treated, trained to be perfectly gentle" to milk at cowhood, neat in apjiearance. kind and loving to ladies and children. Such cows at three to five years old would find a ready market at prices more than double those for ordinary Stock, and where one went it \yould make a demand for more. The business of raising cows for salo is capable of unlimited extension. Those thfit wer» not up to the more ae.sthetici taste in appearance would find ready sale to the milk and butter dairies.

This is why it takes three and four acres of summer pasture for a c<iw, let alone the tuiiliiig crops in aildiiion. ami why ii man tniwn lully one-lhifil of hi.s farm lo gel the hay for the roughige part of the winter's, ration, nol to mention Ihe loads of grain led in coniiecti'in with it.

Then the items ot cost must come in and de- lermine whether or not three acres ot meadow hay was cheaiwr than a fair ocre of silage.
