The cow-test associations which
have made such Roadway in the east
ern states and also in Minnesota,
Iowa, and Wisconsin,, We're highly
favored by Prof. Larsen as a practical
mean of the farmers raising the
milk producing qualities of their
herds. The Department of Agricul-
ture is doing much to aid this move
ment, as also are many state legis-
latures. He described the method of
organizing the same in the rural To-
calities. 1t is essential that each
dairyman have a spring scales, a bot
tie wherein to keep samples of milk
from each COW, and a chart to record
the daily weight of milk from each
animal. A tester is generally hired by
the association to make tests of the
milk twice a month and in this way it
is ascertained what cows are kept at
9. loss. and which ones pay for their
feed. The average COW, the professor
said, does not pay for itself. He also
devoted some attention to the three
types of cows, the dairy, the dual
purpose, and the beef. Each Of these
serves its purpose and for the profit.
