Beef Cows on illinois Farms.

Formerly Illinois farms were well
stocked with high grade beef cows,
from which were produced the feeding
cattle that We're subsequently fattened
to furnish a profitable outlet for the
large acreages Of corn grown This
was when land and corn were cheap.
AS land became more valuable and
corn was used for other purposes than
making meat it was found that there
was but small profit, If any, in keep
ing n COW year for the beef calf she
would produce During this transition
period extensive breeding herds We're
formed on the western ranges. The
breeding OF feeding cattle as com
mon practice on high priced lands has

ply Of feeding cattle has come more
ana more largely from localities where

The record Of the herd Is a matter
Of the utmost Importance. The highest
degree of success cannot be attained
unless dalrymen know the productive
capacity OF each individual COW. This
Is necessary as a guide TO rational
treatment and to insure the greatest
profit. The record should include not
only the dairy performance. but con
else history and description, of each
animal. The former requires daily
record of the milk yield Of every COW
and fat test Of several consecutive
milklngs II accurate records are TO be
secured Samples for this test may be
mixed and this composite sample"
tested thus obtaining the average.
The method is easily learned and
practiced. With the percentage Of fat
taken periodically and a summary of
the daily yield of milk. the dairyman
has a full record Of every COW in his
herd TO give still more complete
knowledge there should also be a rec
ord. at least approximately accurate,
showing the cost Of the food consumed
by each COW, so that the economy OF
production may be shown.
