With the hot weather of July and August came another slump. People had been used to dumping the milk in_ their cans and letting it go at that. It was diflerent now. It had to be cooled to 60 degrees within forty minutes of milking. and to be kept at that temperature until it When spring came, things looked Up for a: while. The mil houses were completed. The stables clean- ed up and whitewashed, and things put upon a business basis. Some made attempts at herd culling, and many- began to purchase pure-bred stock.

They found mt they aud acres of alfalfa. to say nothing of stock foods and conditiOn pow- ders. Further. the dairy proposi- tion had looked so promising that many had devoted their attention exclusively to this, and had no other :souroe of revenue. Few calves were raised, because it was thought there was no money in them. No pigs were raised because the cows ate evâ€" ery pound of the grain. For the same reason no more horses were; kept than were absolutely necessary? When fall came round again. things were in a pretty serious state. The dairymen formed themselves into an association, and said they would not sell their milk {or .less than 81.75 per wt... and appointed men to find a market for the milk at that price. After three weeks' hunting. 9,000 lbs. of the 40.000 1138. subscribed was placed at 81.55 per curt... delivered at the railway station. 0:: con- They asked the company for a. raise in milk prices, but it was explained ,that only about one-third of the pe- trons had brought their milk up to requirements and built sanitary sta- bles gnd milk houses. For the pres- ent, no increase could be given. Dur- ing the summer months many of the patrons dropped out and went back} to the old methods. ‘ All summer IOng men tried to figure out a. profit from milk, and at last had to give it up. They had been feeding high-priced concentrates in reckless quantities, bushels and bush- els of ensilsge with not an ear 0! corn taken out. tons of clover hay Such reckless spending of money could not go on forever. This was obVious, and many started to look ahead and see how they were to pay the debts they had contracted dur- ing the winter. A little figuring showed many of them that they could not meet their obligations. and a little further figuring showed that they were not making. or rather saving, as much money as at the old cheeSe factory prices. 0! course getting about one-third more for milk had increased the vaâ€" lue of. cows. and heavy feeding had inéreased the milk flow until the cows were really worthcmore than before. Ordinary ,grade Holsteins, which formerly sold at $40 and $50 now brought $80 and $100. An or- dinary milker was worth about $60, a. good cow $76 or $80. and an‘ex- tra good one from $100 up. Pure- breds sold entirely upon their rec- ords-averaging from $125 to $400 or 5500' 88A that figure. her, in the winter of 1909, had sold his pure-bred stock at auction, and had cleaned «up so much money that he did not have to farm any more. Several tried the some scheme and it worked so well that eVerybody with any good stock at all had an auc- tion sale, and Some who did not had one anyway, just to get some ready money, and to get rid of their scrub cows. $1.48 1/3 per cwt. Before that. farmers had been get- ting 800. to $1. In View of the ex- tra profits the farmers began to in- vest in improvements, labor saving machinery and better grade stock. Every possible method was used to make the herds produce more milk. Specialâ€"feeds were purchased. The cows were turned out to exercise twice a. day, and curried and brush- ed eechfime after coming in. In the {all of the next year a. num- ber of farmers who had a. good stock of pure-breds thought they saw a chance to make easy money. They remembered that one of their num- were installed. and some milking ma.- chines purchased. Those who had pure-bred cattle, and some who had grade cows, made tests 0! individual cows to find whether they were mak- ing or losing money. The price of milk in the winter of 1909, and through 1910, averaged $1.48 1/3 per cwt. When winter came round again, the patrons were better equipped, and the production rose to 22,000 lbs. 3 day.
