GOOD AND POOR cows.

Methods of Testing.

little more to keep a COW that v"'

than one producing 100 pounds.
The most extravagant thing a
dairyman can do is to head his herd
with scrub sire; this is step back
and continual slide as long as he
continues such methods. There is no
advancement or grading up without a
pure bred, prepotent sire. Improve
ment comes only through the supe-
rior qualities of the male used. Expe-
rience in my work shows that cows
kept at a good profit to their owner
are not allowed out of barn in win
ter more than one-half to one hour
per day in fine weather, and are kept
in warm, well-lighted and well ven
tilated stables. They are watered
in stable cold days and fed food of a
succulent nature, such as ensilage or
mangles, with all the alfalfa or clover
hay they will consume without waste,
and a balanced grain ration of not
less than one pound to every three
pounds of milk given.

with his wife and little boy to Long

gray old stone house, which my grand
