How Test Association works.

We are now in the midst of great
agitation in America over the subject
of better dairy cows. Ten years ago
the first of what are known In Den
mark as test associations was organ
lied Today there are over 800. and
the system has spread with amazing
rapidly for conservative Europe.
Farmers owsing enough cows TO milk
about 1000 form Il cooperative asso-
citation. They hire man, usually a
student from an agricultural school. as
tester. This man visits each farm
about once every three weeks. He
weighs the milk from each COW and
tests ii for butter fat. He also weighs
the feed given the cow, and record is
then kept showing the milk and butter
produced by each COW and the cost Of
the feed At the end OF the year the
farmer knows just what profit each
COW has made. and by this method the
Improbable ones may be at once dis
posed Of Heifer calves are raised
from the best cows only, and as re-
suit the average production of milk
Is increased surprisingly. - kimball's

On this important subject a. s.
Ennis gave the following excellent ad-
vice before the Missouri Dairymen's

TRY to be sure you are buying from
a reputable breeder. Keep the bull til
number of his heifers have MIXED
the first year. If the heifers show ina.
proyement over their dams you can be
sure you are on the right track You
will find your bull has nicked better
with some of your cows than others.
Always keep the best helfers About
the second cross you will find some of
the heifers giving more milk and max
Ing more butter with their first calves

To the controversy on vitality In
milk DR. w. c. Huntington of Mlchi-
gan furnishes the following in Hol-
stein-Friesian Register:
The fat globules In Holsteln milk are
fner and more intimately mixed with
the other solids than in the milk Of
any other cows, and hence Holstein
milk is best for all purposes for which
whole milk is used.
Jersey milk is here not considered
suitable for condensing because IL is
too inclined TO churn simply from slop-
ping about i'm the can during trans
portation TO the condensary, and the
tendency of Jersey milk TO separate
in the stomach into melted butter and
hard indigestible curds Is the reason
why the puny Jersey calf SO often
cannot live on the milk of its own
dam

BRINGING UP A CALF.
Ideas About Correct Care, Training
and Feeding.

ana Feeding.
An eastern dairyman has some very
pronounced ideas about how a calf
should be brought up. He says that
calves show their bringing up just as
plainly as folks do. Judging from the
way they act, some never have had
much bringing up.
The time TO begin bringing up the
calf Is when 1t is just getting on its
feet. One good ration of milk from the
mother, and that should be the last.
For the sake OF the COW and that Of
the calf they should be separated then.
A calf that has got the habit OF suck
Ing the old COW well fastened on II Is
tough proposition to deal with when
you try To teach II TO eat out of a pail.
So don't let 1t get that habit.
New milk, warm from the COW and
fed three times a day, is the right
thing for the first week or two Then
change to twice day, but give little
more milk. At three weeks OF age
lessen the new milk and add little
sweet skinned milk. but have 1t warm.
Always warm the milk for the calf.
Give bite OF bright hay when the
calf will begin to eat 1t. and that will
be earlier than you imagine II you new
er have tried II. You need not fear
scours after the calf eats hay.
Drop a bit OF buckwheat shorts into
a shallow box and set It near the calf.
Soon II will begin to lick II. Add a
little ollmeal few weeks later.
Dehorn the calf by using caustic pot
ash OH the little knobs before three
weeks old. Do not let the calf out till
the earth is good and warm. Keep 1t
growing steadily all through the year.
You will surely have good calf at the
end of that time.
