It should not be lost sight of, that the settlement of this question de- pends largely on whether the cows on the farm are kept strictly for dairy purposes or net. If so kept, then the calves are presumed to be raised, if presarved at all, for use in the dairy, and not, as on the ordinary stock farm, mainly for future beef purposes. If it is the purpose to keep a set of cows during their evtire period of useful- ness at the pail, say from the age of two to twelve years, then the important point to be settled is, whether the cost of maintaining, say 400 Ibs. weight in the large cow, over and above what the light weight dairy cow is supposed to show on the scales, during the ten years she is doing duty at the pail, will over-balance the gain» ir beef production, shown by the large cow at the end of the service iu the dairy. The presumption is that the dairyman is capable of breeding or bay- ing cows of moderate size that will yield as much milk during the year as can be obtained from the cow that will, in fair flesh, weigh 1,100 to 1,200 Ibs. It is said to require about two pounds | of nutritious food a day to sustain each | hundred pounds weight of the live ani-| mal. In other words it will require | eight pounds daily to maintain a cow of 1,200 lbs. over and above that required to keep a cow of SOO lbs. weight. This amounts to 2,900 Ibs., in reund num- bers, for the year. In any kind of nutri- tious fool—as good timothy hay, oats, corn, or mill feed—the cost of maintain ing the 400 lbs. referred to, for the year, would be rather over than under $10. Now, the amount would, during the use- ful life of the cow, amount to from $80 to $100—a sum, as will be readily seen, considerably larger than the entire car- case of the cow is likely to be worth, if sold to the butcher. But this estimate cuts no figure in ex- | cluding the large, well-bred cow. from the average farm; for, on any but the strictly dairy farm, the cow’s usefulness comes largely trom the valuable increase she gives ‘rom year to year, giving a good account of herself in the meantime, at the pail. The time was when we looked to the farm, as this term is gener- ally understood, for all our batter and eheese ; and while important innovations have been made upon old time practices, @ mustnot allow the farm proper, or any industry upon it, to be overwhelmed by changes from any source. It is right to pattern after the cream- ery, because perfection in methods, brought out on the creamery and dairy farm, have revolutionized the quality of our butter; and what the farm proper requires is not the 700 or 800 Ibs. cow, to be used for milk and butter purposes alone, but the 1,100 and 1,200 lbs. eow, so bred asto make her projeny worth far more to rear than to kill, or sell to the butcher at five or six weeks old. Thus, with stock of good size and fairly well-bred, rating as high grades, the dis- parity in cost of keeping during the natural, useful life of the cow, between the large and the small beast, will not make the showing on the balance sheet that some suppose. The question comes up, too, where else we are to look for our high-grade steers but to such dams as we have des- cribed. The rough plain cattle will, it is true, supply some steers, and the de- mand for that grade of meat is not likely to fall off, as cheap grades are wanted by those who cannot afford to buy better, and the large demands for packing and canniog purposes are likely to continue indefinitely. But the high grade cow is needed to furnish our export steers as well as our best beef cattle, no matter where consumed. So, while she may in a degree, be ignored upon the dairy farm proper, she will, for the reasons given above, be ove of the leading fea-| tures upon the farm, while mankind! continue to eat beef, butter, and cheese. —National Live Stock Journal.
