Dairy Work Profitable
Throughout the Year
Every farm business is nade up of
a combination of enterprises, no one
of .which keeps the farmer busy
throughout the day or year. It is one
of the ' problems of the farmer to
choose tfic enterprise that will keep
himself employed as profitably as pos
sible throughout the year. This calls
for an enterprise to furnish winter
work, and in most cases this will be
some of live stock, the number
and kind, depending upon' the pas
lure available, the markets and other
factorsi
"To the farmer of this ; section
would suggest the dairy cow as the"
kind of live stock that would be most
profitable. And he should keep as
many cows as be has pasture for, and
caii feed during the winter months.
; The dairy cow will keep the farmer

- During Lent and Easter
Again the yearly Lenten season
comes around, and Godly-minded
Jpeople all over the world are begin
ning their preparation for the cele
bration of. the anniversaries of the
crucifixion and the . resurrection of
the Savior oi the world. Also they
arejommemorating His forty .days
of fastincv and temptation in 'the
wilderness. V
ThcChristian religion is not merely
a philosophy or a theory of existence,
but it is a life founded upon the facts
of the life of our-Lord Jesus Christ,
not upon any man's thoughts or
writings, but upon the real, historical,
undisputed fajct . of the li.fe of Pne"Knsjdere(i
Whom no one denys lived in the flesh
upon this earth.
As we have celebrated His birth.
His'nianifestation to the Gentiles, His
presentation "in the temple, let' us
realise that it is most fitting that we
should commemorate His forty days
of fasting and temptation in the wild
erness and jn this - manner . prepare
our hearts for Hisloriou's; resurrec
tion from the tomb. Lent is a time
set apart, a season in which we are to
draw nearer, ta God by acts of self-
conquest, self-restraint, and deep de
v-otion. It is especially a tjnie for us
to become close companions "and ser
vants of the. Christ by living His life
and so to enter into His freedom and
power, as shown and proved in His
resurrection. "So in order that this
Lenten season might, have some in
Tiuence in our lives, mignt make us
think more about the meaning of life
and God's plan for us, and also might
make us ask ourselves just what we
are doing to further God's plan and
to hasten he time when His kingdom
will be supreme over all the world,
let us commune with Him more fre
quently in His House and get the
strength and inspiration which comes
only from such communion with God
In most places .there will be daily
services held during Lent, but it is
not' advisable for us to try that this
year. The. followiift is a schedule of
the ' Services we have planned for

will he be occupied in caring for the
cows, with the problem of feed, hous
ing and proper care of the manure.
Why is it that our county doesn't
rank high in the production of dairy
products? It is needless, to point out
the advantages we have necessary for
successful dairying. - Most of the
farmers are familiar wjth these.' He
knows what the dairy cow. has'done
for the Wisconsin farmer. He prob
ably has been told ' of these condi
tions time and again. His trouble is
not, that he does not know of 'the
feasibilities,' hit that he is, v.wq Mr."
Arey's phrase, "Not Dairy Minded."
It is, that lie has not. reached the
point where he is seriously thinking
about cows. Iri other words, he has
hot reached the conclusion that he
wants to milk cows, and that is be
cause, he hns not fully realized the
true value of the dairy cow on his
farm. .
-.' There is a class of farmers who
always make a profit; In most cases
you will find the "dairyman in this
class. As a rule, the dairyman has a
plan and sticks to it, he depends up
on his brains, not luck. And if you
investigate you will find him climb
ing to success. The successful dairy
maji keeps 'good live stock, uses pure
bred sires, keeps enough live stock, to
utilize home grown feeds. They keep
hogs and poultry, which give them
more than one source of income.
They are the men who use their
brains and study their . business.
-They are keeii observers, always on
.the lookout for some plan to cut
operating cost or looking for better
markets. ;
! It is hard for the farmer to get
help when times are hari. He mus't
help himself. - And in times of ad
versity, when the price ot corn,
wheat and cotton is low, you find the
. farmer turning to the dairy cow. On
, every side of the farmer there is.
market for dairy products.
now are we going to make our-
county a dairy county f Think .dairy
ing, talk dairying, and don't blush

Must Pay For Paper.
vThe law in regard to newspapers
has been construed that if a person
accepts frpm the mail a newspaper or
periodical, he becomes liable for the
payment of the subscription price.
This does not include sample copies
of. a paper but one that is sent to a
person continually . and that .persov J
accepts it.;. Then he becomes liable I
for 4 the1 'subscription. This is the
reason that the Chatham Record has
always discontinued a paper when the
subscription has expiree?, because the
subscriber might not want it and we
don't- want to' make anyone pay tar
a paper that he does not want. We
want to keep all our subscribers and
