WEED OUT THE ROBBERS
c. LARSON. Iowa College of Agriculture

There more than a million cows in
Iowa and they are valued at thirty millions
OF dollars The average production of but
ter fat by each cow is only 140 pounds per
year. The butter fat at twenty cents per
pound would make the value for each COW s
product of fat only $28. Her skim milk
and calf would bring her earning capacity
to about $3S per year.
AS 1t is estimated that here in the Central
West it costs about $40 year to keep a
cow it will be seen that an average there
is very little profit in keeping any kind of
COW that does not produce more than the
average Iowa cow now produces.
1t has been proven that by proper breed
ing and selection the average cow be made
to yield between 400 and 500 pounds of but
ter fat per year. In order to find out how
much COW produces it is necessary to
weigh her milk and take samples for fat
determination.
because the average can be ascertained by
occasional testing. The simplest method is
to test and weigh the milk from each COW
every thirteenth week, the first test to begin
the sixth week after calving and to last
week. The results to be obtained during the
week are to be representative of what the
COW would do six weeks previous and six
weeks subsequent to the week of the test.
In this way the Improbable cows may be
discovered and weeded out.
If cow does not produce 200 pounds of
butter fat every year she should be disposed
of, because she cannot be kept at a profit.
because their calves will be poor producers.
Farmers in the great corn belt have not
as vet paid very much attention to this mat
ter, because dairying has been only sort of
becoming more valuable every year it means
that we must adopt methods of farming
which are more profitable. All these things
indicate that more intensive farming must
be practiced. The most intensive farming is
dairying, and if the right kind of cows are
kept 1t is profitable.

SOUND SENSE IN DAIRYING

From 60 to CT degrees is about the proper
temperature for the rinse water in winter

If the dairy floor is cement, plenty of
bedding must be used SO that the cows

When you go out to buy this fall
don't buy the first one you see. Look around
and see if you can't find a better one.
The great principle to be observed in win
ter dairying is to feed economically as re-
CARDS cost so as to acquire the best results.
