buying and Selling Cows by Tests of
Their Milk.


The North Carolina Experiment Sta
ton proposes plan for buying and sell.
ing cows. 1t is based on the yield of
their milk, together with the quality Of
the same rs determined by tests Of tho
milk. The rule is to pay for the DOW at
the rate Of sl2 per gallon Of milk given
per day that is rich enough to show 31a
per cent Of fat. To this price add or
subtract one dollar for every one fourth
Of one per cent of fat which is above or
below the 81 per cent. By this rule a
cow is bought entirely on her merits. 1t
Is believed to be a conservative plan,
and one if adopted Cor one upon q SINH
lar plan) will certainly raise the stand
ard Of COWS and increase their milk and
butter production, for if they cannot be
sold easily for milk cows, they will soon
be turned over to the butcher, and Il bet
ter animal be kept or a willing purchaser
be found. The result cannot fail to be
beneficial to all parties
