Dairy experts from the New York
State School of Agriculture and of-
rials of the Erie railrd took a very
effective method of spreading the gos-
pel of better dairying when they ran a
"milk production" wperial over that
road la April of this year. Forty-ve
minute stopn were made at twenty-one
towns, thirty minute lectures on the
one subjeet of milk produetion being
followed by a fifteen minutes* demon-
stration of a profitable and unprotita-
ble type of dairy cow, the tirst being a
Holstein with a record of 427 pounda
of butter fat per year, while the other
on but a trifle .less feed made but 167
pounds of butter in the same period.
In the lectures the fact was empha-
sized that to keep in business the
dairyman must: in view of present high,
prices of feed, either receive more for
his product or redueein some way the
cost of its produetion. whih was
shown could be effected in three ways
—by the more economical feeding of
home grown feeds (grain. clover, al-
falfa. silage and heet, by weeding
out the boarder cows by the use of the
Babcock test and by grading up the
