PLAN No. 1064. DAIRYING

Possibly no occupation has more possible lines of interest and is more adapted to your condition than dairying. The handling, feeding, care, and management of the herd and calf nursery, and in cases of pure-bred herds, the study of pedigrees, blood lines, and breeding are all most interesting, as are also the scientific milking, handling of dairy products, and marketing. The dairy occupation of butter and cheese making, as well as the feeding of live stock for meat, and much other work continue through the entire year. The agriculturist, if a specialist, can conduct a small dairy and can co-ordinate, for example, butter making or other lines with his specialty, thus enabling him to run his “agricultural factory” the year around.
