PROPERTY OF BEECH GROVE FARM, BEECH GROVE, IND.] HINTS --ON-- DAIRYING. BY T.D. CURTIS. Complete success in dairying depends on right conditions. SYRACUSE, N.Y. PUBLISHED FROM THE OFFICE OF THE _FARMER AND DAIRYMAN_. 1885. COPYRIGHTED IN THE YEAR 1885 BY T.D. CURTIS. PREFACE. It was intended by the Author to publish an exhaustive practical work on Dairying. But his time was so occupied by other matters that he was compelled to abandon the idea. Much of the following pages was written while traveling, the intervals of waiting at hotels and railroad stations being devoted to this work. But on reperusing the chapters as they appeared in the columns of the FARMER AND DAIRYMAN, and making slight additions, he has concluded to give them to the Dairy Public in their present form, believing that they may be of some assistance to the tyro, and perhaps afford a hint, here and there, to the dairyman of more experience who wishes to keep abreast of his fellows in the march of progress. This little book is not intended to supersede any other work on the subject, but to play the part of an auxiliary and present in a condensed form the pith which the reader might not have time to get from a more elaborate volume. The favor with which his "Hints on Cheesmaking"--now out of date--was received, gives the author confidence that his later effort may serve to fill a place that now remains unoccupied. Providence seems to have selected him as one of the laborers in this field of education, and he conscientiously devotes a portion of his energies to the service with envy toward none, but entertaining the hope that his mite may not be unacceptable among so many larger contributions.
