b THE TOLLS THAT MAKE PRODUCE DEAR (Written Specially for The Bulletin.) A neighbor of mine—he's a fellow farmer, lives in the same county. be- longs to thé same Pomona grange, is within my hello range on the telephene. and it that doesn’t make him a “neigh- they are. —well, why bor.” what would?—this neighbor of mina liws been keeping tabs on his dairy for the past yvear. He gave the | results in a recent talk to some fellow dairymen. As he was very explicit in | vall his statements, and as I persmm‘.b_;“f“m know him to be a fafr-minded and | ught o mighty sgreen. cnrefully accurate man with no espe- il hobby to ride, hut a very keen de- sire to get at the inside facts of his! business, and possessed of a rather unusually shrewd business turn, I am inclined to tie up to his figures. Much more inclined that way than if they were given out by some stranger in some professedly farm paper. merely to tur sell at a loss miik from. me of the He ocarried during the year 25 head |10 figure ar of milkers—grade Guernseys.

Samantha Psalter says that money is not saved by losing time, and shé does mot seem to realize that she looses time repeating her cherished maxims. A bird in the hand may be worth two in the bush to a city man, but the two in the bush are worth most to the farmer. Cy Cymbal finds fault because his ‘hogs kill every chicken they can cor- ner. If he would feed his hogs better rations = they would not care for chicken. Parson Dawson says that good words without deeds are rushes and reeds. He must have noticed that there is plenty of rubbish for bonfires around here. The world looks to the farm for its fine fruit, but it has not noticed that is where the fine men come from, 100.

My meighbor didn't sell his milk that way. M he had he would have Yost quite a pot of monay. To say that his figures for the cost of his milk are canservative is to use a mid word. For instance, he arrived at the tabor cost by reckoning twenty | mninutes a day to milic a cow—twiee, 1| suppose—which assuming each one was milked 292 davs in a year, would amount, at $1.36 a day, to $365, This, you'll notice, mAakes no appropriation for the tabor of feeding or cieaning the cows, or i»mug the manure out of the stabies. Nor does it mmake any account of the bi-dally work done in cleaning the dadey utenslis, etc.: etc. Did some- body do this for nothing? Just for tha fimhuf it, &8 yom might say?
