: THE MARICOPA CREAMERY.
This modern, completely equipped plant is located in Phcenix. Its daily butter output is over 2,000 pounds and it
operates a fieet of six cream gathering auto trucks.
These should be detected and seat
to the butcher. Have the Babcock
test eliminate such animals. This

cow-test associations, by the
introduction of pure bred bulls of
guaranteed butter fat ancestry, and
as one is able, by the purchase of
pure bred cows. Secondly, by sur
rounding our heids with a continu

a milk fitted for sweet butter, high

This results in a higher prioe for the

key to success with the cow is based
upon the above mentioned facts.

Twenty Thousand
Bee Colonies In
Maricopa County
(BY W. A. HOOD)
Few people realize the extent of
the beekeeping industry in our state.
The report of the State Apiary In
spector for 1914 registers over twenty-six
thousand colonies. Nearly
twenty thousand of these are i:i
Maricopa county alone. At a con
servative estimate, th?se twenty-six
thousand colonies probably produced,
during the year, as much as a mil
lion and a quarter pounds of honey,
or six hundred twenty-five tons.
Few people realize just how sweet 1

Editor Arizona Republican:
Herewith I give you for publica
tion, my first year with the dairy
herd.
In October 181.1, I purchased 18
cows and heifers and 1 registered
Holstein bull for $2070. Some of the
cows were fresh, others dry. At the
end of one year, or in November,
1914, the monthly statement from
the Maricopa creamery, footed up
for butter fat $1,200.
The average number of cows
milked during the year, sixteen, made
I credit per head, $ 7r.(i0. The pro
iduct from separated milk fed to
young stock as follows:

grades 200.00

than 40 per cent fat.
The only feed for cows was al
falfa pasture, disced to barley in
the fall, and in stormy weather, al
falfa hay in the feed lot for night
and morning. My alfalfa fields are
cividod into smail pastures, so cows
may be changed to fresh feed every
few days.
The present year, 12 acres alfalfa
will be plowed under and planted in
corn. Then if 1 can manage, build
a silo, fill it with corn, store first
class alfalfa hay in the barn and
build a good dairy barn for the
milk cows, I venture the statement
the cream check for the year will
show $100 per cow, where now it is
only T5.
Deduct $500 for hired help for the
year, and $200 for interest paid,
making a total of $700, leaves a bal
ance of $1905, on investment of $2,

use of going to the extra expense of furnishing this special cap to protect milk from dust and infec
tion while being delivered.
Norton Dairy does comply with all these requirements for clean, uninfected milk and furnishes the
cap also. These i eqvirements greatly increase the cost of production over common methods but the
consumer now is only asked to pay a trifle more than regular prices.
