Fund of Useful information for Dairy
men in Report Of Professors Carlyle
and VOL on State Dairy Herd
Feed, Care, Weights, Profits,
Pictures and Tables.

Studies in milk production are de
tailed by Professors w. l.. Carlyle
and w. f. Vol OF the university agri
cultural experiment station IN bulletin
1902. The bulletin is based on the
records of the COWS in the university
dairy herd founded in the fall of 1898
In selecting the various animals in the
herd the object sought was to secure
grade cows that would fairly represent
the different breeds of cattle kept for
the production of milk in Wisconsin
The primary plan was to obtain five
jersey, Guernsey, Holstein and Short.
horn. The animals were selected from
farmers herds IN various parts Of the
state and were bought at prices rang
ing from $25 to $40 a head. Individual
excellence as producers was the first
consideration in the selection of the
animals, breed characteristics being
considered of secondary Importance.
Since the foundation of the herd
several pure-bred animals. represent
ing thevarious breeds, have been added
from time to time. During the past
four years complete yearly records
have been kept of thirty eight cows in
ALL made up of the following numbers
OF grade and pure bred animals, viz:
IL Jerseys, four of which were pure
bred, grade Guernseys, S Holsteins,
all Of which were pure-bred cows but
one, IL Shorthorns, eight grades aad
three pure-breds and l grade Red
Polled COW.
The Jerseys fairly represented their
breed and were in the main of what is
generally known as the extreme dairy
type. The Guernseys and Holsteins
were Of stronger type of dairy COWS
and may be considered good rep
rcsentatives of these breeds. The
Shorthorns were of medium size and
fairly represented the milking, or
dual.purpose, strain of the breed as It
is found in our state.
Accounts of the production, feed
and profits returned by the COWS in
the herd during the first two years
have been published in the 10Th and
18th annual reports of the station
The present bulletin is in part a con.
tinuation of, and partly includes these
records, SO that the investigation here
reported presents the main data
secured as regards the production
ana feed requirements Of the cows
from the founding of the herd, Nov.
1893, up to May, 1903. In the ac-
counts previously published, yearly
records were made to conform as near
ly as possible to a single period of
lactation for each COW, whereas in the
present bulletin it was deemed best
to consider separately the performance
of the different cows in half-year
periods, covering. generally speaking,
the winter and summer feeding, viz:
from Nov. Is to May 10, and from
May Is to Nov. IS.

Milk and Butter Fat Records.

The COWS were MIXED at the same
hour morning and evening during the
year, and the milking was proceeded
with as rapidly and thoroughly as
possible The milk from each COW
was weighed and the weight recorded
on the milk record sheet as soon as the
milking was done: a small sample Of
milk was placed in pint composite
sample jar bearing the name of the
particular COW, and weekly tests were
mado of the samples thus obtained.
The per cent. of butter fat found in
the composite samples. multiplied by
the total quantity Of milk produced by
the different cows during the week
was taken as their weekly production
of butter fat, aud these data, together
with the amounts of the various kinds
of iced eaten during the week, were
enterd In the herd record book. Tho

day was exceedingly good and brought
many expressions CT delight from the
grandstand. Joe B2ssett was declared
the winner of the contest, second money
being presented to Tom Sears and third
money TO William Steele.
The bull fighting was fine and the
exhibition was pronounced much better
than on Tuesday. One of the bulls used
was the same bad hombre' that won
the day at Tuesdays show and drove
the brave men all out of the ring. They
