. Breeder and sportsman. Horses. Saturday, February 1, 1908.] THE BREED ERAN D SPORTSMAN 11. Tie following address on "Dairy Farming, " was delivered by ex-Gov- ernor W. D. Hoard of Wisconsin, be- fore the Iowa Dairymen's convention, held recently at Des Moines: I have been a close student of dairying, particularly from the farm end, for nearly fifty years. In all this time I have been greatly impressed with the fact of the ignorance of men who keep cows, concerning what I may call the foundation principles of dairy practice. My greatest hindrance has been my own ignorance. In my lecture work in most every state in the Union and in Canada; in my study and work as editor of a dairy paper; and on my dairy farm with a herd of forty registered cows, everywhere, has this question of the necessity of more and beter light, better understanding of plain, simple dairy truth been con- stantly before my eyes. Everywhere do I see farmers struggling to win success with cows, and everywhere do I see only a very meagre reward. All the time I have been convinced that there is from 100 to 600 per cent more net profit for any farmer to re- ceive if he will but east aside his prejudice and look at the question in its right light. The more I investigate this question of net profit, the more astounded do I become at the tremendous difference that exists between the men who think and those who will not think. Here is an illustration: There are two patrons of the Hoard's creameries living a half mile apart. One has thirty cows and the other nineteen. To the man with the thirty cows the creamery paid the sum of $35 per cow for the milk of one year. To the man with the nine- teen cows was paid $60 per cow. It cost each of these men $30 apiece to keep their cows for the year. One man got $30 above the cost of keep- ing; the other man got $5. Thirty dollars is 600 per cent more than five dollars. Think of what an interest that is. What was the matter with the five-dollar man ? A lack
