This ainoant will vary of course, in cows and during the period of lactation" vVnere a few years ayo our patrons raised only wheat and oats, we now tind them diversifying. us is Oiie of the good features of dairying, as it calls for different forage crops, some of which are sure to be a suc cess. At first our native hay and grasses were depended upon tor feed exclusively. Now we are raising millet, brome grass, fodder corn, barley, rye and speltz. A grass crop was never known to fail, even in our poorest seasons, and therefore, a cow is always sure of feed which makes the milch cow the surest bread winner for this section. Too many creameries are built by newspapers anil enthusiastic business men without considering whether.there is a prospect of getting milk enough to operate successfully. It cannot be a suc cess jiiiless there are cows enough within a suitable radius, which when the milk or cream is deliv ered will make butter enough to pay operating expenses without too much cost per pound of butter. None of our creameries have been forced to shut down for lack of patronage though the first year is often a very trying one. A good butter maker and good busi ness management go a long way towards making success sure. Our creameries are a success in every way. Both stockholder and patron are well pleased and the better, more substantial farm buildings and geueral improvements of the co nmunity gives an uudisputable argument in favor of dairy farm ing in western North Dakota.
