Experiment

The depressing influence Of poor
cows upon production and profits has
often been pointed out; 1t remains
for us to measure the force of pure
dairy blood when persistently applied,
in enlarging the profit-making capac-
fty of the herd 1t is a reasonable
assumption that most men keep COWS
for profit, though 1t is a fact that many
fail of their object, whether they know
it or not. There may be several caus-
es for bad results, namely, inferior
animals, inadequate care, or a COM
bination of both. Certainly a COW

favor of grading. The question next
arising is, was the production by the
graded group more or less economical
ly secured than by the ungraded?
Reference to table No. SO will show
that. while it costs slightly more to
feed the graded COWS, they returned
nearly twice as much profit as the 9TH

In 1870 the per cent of all mar

in 1880, AS per cent; in 1886, 60 per

that approximately 10 per cent Of all

Wilcox, OF Cornell, has calculated
that, should the present rate of in
