DAIRY NOTES.

Prof. r. L. Hacker said at the
meeting of the Connecticut Dairy
mems association that when he took
charge of the dairy herd at the Mime
sofa experiment station he determined
to know the cost of production. Since
then they have weighed every pound
of feed given the animals, known its
cost, weighed all the milk and tested
it for butter fat. At the end of the
first year they found that some pro-
duced butter fat at a cost of twelve
cents pound, oilers at seventeen
cents, and the rest ranging between
these two rates. Some of them made
but little over two numbered pounds
of butter in year and others gave
over 300 pounds. The breed made lit
tie difference, as some Shortshorns
made cheap butter, and some Jerseys
costly butter. Size or color had moth
ing to do with it. All the COWS that
made the cheap butter were set on
one side, and they were of the genu-
inc dairy type, light quarters and a
heavy wedge shaped barrel. Those
that made the costly butter were
sleek, nice looking animals that could
answer the description of the general
purpose COW. A good COW should have
a sharp spine, sharp hip bones, and
sharply developed nervous system.
She should have a large wedge shaped
stomach, that she may have a large
and powerful digestive system to use
up her food. The poor COW has a
straight thigh, with no space between
thigh and udder on one side and the
tail on the other. There should be
plenty of room between the tail and
the udder By selection of COWS of
dairy type, not high priced stock but
the common dairy type, he brought
his entire herd last year to an average
of 800 pounds of butter per COW, at a
cost of Az cents per pound for the
food given. One COW gave 512 pounds
of butter during the year.
Some part of this gain may be due
to the careful feeding of balanced ra-
tions saving a cent wherever they
can. For grain feeds they use bran
and barley, largely coarse bran, and
hardly consider middlings fit for bed
ding. The COWS are in the stable only
about two hours day. They are put
i'll at five a. m, fed and MIXED, then
turned into covered barnyard where
running water and salt are accessible
at all times. At five p. m. they are
put in again, fed and MIXED, then
turned out. The yard is kept bedded
with sawdust and shavings, and they
may not eat any fodder except that
given in the stable. Each COW is Civ
en- all she will consume, the food be-
ing gradually increased to learn her
capacity. When she has balanced ra-
tion she will not eat more than she
can digest, but will begin to leave
little in the trough then it is time to
reduce the amount to what she will
clean up readily and heartily. To
know profitable COW one needs to
know the cost of her food, the amount
and quality of her milk, and this last
cannot be determined by single Bah
cock test, but she should be tested
several times during her milking sea-
