TESTING DAIRY cows.
Even when Done But Two OF Three
TfDes . Year IL Gives . rair
Basis to Work Upon,

With the average dairyman there
are two reasons why he does not test
his cows. First, it is too much trou.
BILE: second, it costs too much, or at
least this is the way they generally
look at the matter. do not think
it q difficult matter to convince a man
of ordinary intelligence that it 10
neither very much trouble nor an ex-
pensive job.
To get a good average test from
dairy or from single COW, q sample
should be taken from each milking for
Ave to seven days. 1t is necessary To
take only small amount of milk from
each mess, and care should be taken
to have the milk thoroughly mixed be-
fore taking the sample. This sample
should be kept sweet, either by use
of ice or a little preservative of some
kind. The trouble OF taking this sam
pie would probably occupy about one
minute of your valuable time morn
ing and evening. OF course, the work
OF testing takes little more time,
but for the average farmer it is not
necessary to take samples and test
very oItcn. lWlce OF VnTee times u
year will give fair basis to work on.
OF course monthly test would be
more accurate and reliable.
To get at the matter correctly, the
milk from each COW should be weighed
and the amount marked on a large
slate. This can be handily and quick.
ly done by having the scales placed
in some convenient spot in the barn or
stable. Each cows permanent record
for the year may be kept in a book.
Some men might say that this is too
much work and takes up too much
time, but in the diaries belonging to
these men will be found cows that are
eating up all they make, and nearly
all the profits of the rest of the herd
also. Testing outfits that will answer
every purpose can be purchased for
So, but should you not want to invest
in tester, weigh the milk carefully
and at the end of two months take a
sample and have a test made.-V. NJ.

The Man who Deesnr Know Just
what HE Cows Are DoiBG II ~
'a.t Great Dfsa aya ntnge.

Every business industry that pays
must have system in II, and none need
system more than the dairy industry.
Following the pursuit successfully one
must know what his cows are doing,
whether they are kept at loss or
profit. A dairyman gives his record
keeping methods in the Country Gem
tleman, which we quote. referring to
his Jersey herd of 1877 cows. He says
the plan is to bring the herd up to 400
pounds of butter per year for each
cow, and wedding out all that do not
reach this standard. He says: my
plan is to test the cows the last week
of the first month in the quarter.
added two tests together and divided
it by two to get the average for the
quarter; this gives the butter fat,
which is entered in column for that
purpose. Then in the last column
add 20 per cent. tG the butter fat to
get the pounds of butter each COW
produces in the quarter; this gives me
the pounds of milk, butter fat and
butter for the quarter according to
the calculation made. a

pages" for each COW. The left hand

vealed, SO record 1t. On the right hand
page il recorded the average test,
milk yield. butter fat and butter for
each quarter. Adding the four quar-
ters together gives the production for
the year. From that we estimate the
value of the cow, whether she is profit
able to keep in the dairy. OF course
a heifer with her first calf has much
for consideration--her size, age when
she drops her calf, and the general
points for a good cow---to decide
whether to give her another years
trial or not.
II have another book in which keep
all the dates Of service, with names 0f

session. The receipts from garden
may also be less than the cost of the
product, but the season, kind of crops
grown and rainfall affect the results.
There is one point in favor of a gar
den, however, which cannot be disre-
garded, which is that the farmer can
never buy as good fruits and vegeta-
bles as he can grow. No vegetables
shipped to the farm can possibly be as
fresh as those taken from the garden

Selection Of Fruit Tree..

Only experienced persons are capa-
BILE of selecting varieties of fruit trees.
Novices should always seek advice.
The soil, climate and demand of the
market are to be considered. Varieties
that may be suitable for one locality
may be almost worthless in another,
and it is the lack of knowledge in se-
lecting varieties that causes some fail
ures. Selection is very important
matter, for when tree is planted and
the grower waits several years for his
crop it is then too late to rectify mis-
takes except alta great loss.
