The very first thing dairymen must do is to replace their non-profit producers with the kinds or breeds that will produce much more milk from the same amount of feed and labor given them. It will take a little time to do this, but it can be done, and it must be done, if dairymen are to avoid final failure.

If it is not possible to purchase pure-bred animals at once, the next best is to breed the present cows to a pure-bred sire. Of course, it will take a little longer time to make the improvement in the dairy herd in this way, but if this course is persistently followed, it will produce the desired results, say the Spokane Seed Company of Spokane, Washington. Their free literature will help you.

Again, the question of dairy feeds is another big problem. The kind of feeds, and methods of feeding, are of very great importance. Especially is this true in the dairyman that the dairyman must buy the most of his feeds at the present high prices.

It is also awfully true that if dairy cows are not fed regularly and sufficiently (that is, with the right combination of milk producing feeds) they cannot produce profitably. They must also have all the water they want to drink, and in winter it should be artificially warmed to summer temperature of water in the streams.
