Fssdtrgf1I Butter Pas

We saw notice the other day. but
lost the item, that an experiment station,
after several years trial. had not been
able to materially improve the butter
fats in a COW that they started with
when she was a heifer. though she had
been fed with that purpose. This. we
think, will be the common experience
with all who make this effort intelli-
gently. To be sure, it Is easy enough to
buy half starved COW that has been
giving poor milk and little Of it, maybe.
for years, and by good feeding cause her
to increase not only the quantity OF her
yield, but the quality of it also In
other words, through neglect or starva-
ton, she has been allowed to drop below
her normal condition, and when fed up
again she comes back where she belongs
We could liken such practice to man
who had three engines Of different sizes
and all were given the same quantity
and supply of steam. II that quantity
was lust enough to run the middle sized
one to its full capacity, then the smaller
one would be overworked, and the
larger one underworked. Now, if the
steam for the larger one was increased
In amount, 1t would not be the steam in
capable Of doing more work, because
that engine always had that power, and
the steam only afforded it an opportunity
to prove that fact.
SO II is with cows All of them pos
sess normal capacities for butter pro-
ducing, and that capacity must first be
determined before it is possible to meas
ure any improvement.
1t may be properly claimed that the
rich milking breeds have been made by
rich feeding. This is partially true.
though we think wise selection had more
to do with it. But it has required great
many years Of good feeding, wise selec
ton and careful keeping to make these
breeds, and no man will wisely start out
to create a breed in his day, even Though
he bad some good sports" in the right
direction to start with Such animals
are liable to ''hark back" to their original
condition with their offspring. The man
who thinks he can take a native COW and
feed her tito the capacity to produce
Jersey milk is badly mistaken Long
years Of work in this direction NAV
accomplish something. but the chances
greatly are that the labor will be lost.
