dairy form is inclined toward the
wedge shape: that is. from whatever
point OF view the observer looks at
the COW. the form which meets his
eye Is that more nearly conforming
20 the shape of a wedge rather than
the shape of rectangle In most
considerations. In fact, the dairy COW
differs extremely from the beef COW
In selecting dairy COW We should
bear in mind that there are five dis
sinct functions that must be given
due consideration. that are absolutely
necessary II the COW be useful on the
farm.
Five Requirements Of the Dairy Cow.
In the first place. of course. she
must live and in order to live under
the conditions of environment in
which most dairy cows are situated.
namely, to be stabbed for six or eight
months out OF n year. and oftentimes
in barns which are none too we'll
lighted or ventilated. the COW must
have n good constitution. Constitu.
ton Is indicated by a large. distended
nostril. bright eye and great depth
through the chest and heart girth.
Secondly. she must have large feed.
inE capacity The only use to which
a dairy COW is put is to convert the
feed which she consumes into milk
and butter fat. II she does not have
the. power OF consuming large
amount OF feed she will not have the
power of producing n large amount OF
milk. Given two cows. one OF which
has the capacity of consuming twice
as much food as the other and con.
verting an equal percentage of the
foodsturi consumed into milk and but.
ter fat. It can be easily seen one COW
;s worth more than two OF the other.
Those things which Indicate large
feeding capacity are large mouth
and deep. long barrel with
we'll sprung ribs that are far apart.
This indicates largeness of capacity.
but more is necessary; the digestive
apparatus must be powerful and this
Is indicated by the quality of the hide
and hair found by the touch. II the
hide is hard and stiff and the hair
s1arsh and wiry. II is an indication of
Weakness OF digestive apparatus. On
thc "Iher hand. II the hide is soft and
pliaUIe. much like a kid glove. and
tho hair soft and silky. the indica
ton Is that there Is sufficient power
of digestive apparatus to handle the
feed which is stored In the great ca
pacity in q short time. and the COW 1.
ready for more.
In the third place. the COW mus

TDlROFITABLE DAIRYING
By HUGH G. VAN PELT
Dairy Expert Iowa State Dairy Association
Pure Bred or Grade Cows?

Many who start in the dairy busi-
ness with dairy cattle begin at once
with pure bred cows of one or the
other dairy breeds. There are dis
tInct advantages in using pure bred
dairy animals in that there is always
a ready market for the offspring.
Again. in starting the herd with pure
breds the farmer or dairyman can
better acquaint himself with the indi-
vidual merits of the cows by giving
due study to the pedigrees which II
lustrate their breeding. The only OBJ
Jection to starting with pure breds Is
the matter of first cost. and as a rule
there Is not a great difference In the
cost of cows that are pure bred and
those OF nearly the same individual
character that are only grades. From
the standpoint of milk and butter-fat
production there Is no doubt but that
there are grades that produce equally
well. but from the standpoint Of build
ing up the herd in such a way that a
demand is created for the offspring
II is necessary that the cows be pure
bred and that we have pedigrees and
registry papers. AS a rule 1t Is more
advisable and less expensive for the
beginner In dairying to get his infor
nation and education from grade cows
which cost less money. Later. or
perhaps at the same time. 1t is ad-
visable to buy one or two or three
extra good pure bred heifers or cows
and from them build up pure bred
dairy herd while depending upon the
grades to furnish the dairy products.
One cannot be too careful at this
stage as much of his success rests
upon the foundation herd. II grades
are purchased they should be Of the
best character. and although not pure
in their breeding. they should be well
bred. They should be selected for
the specific purpose Of producing
dairy products. Experience has taught
that with the dairy function is to be
found a certain form. The typical
Rocky Ford enterprise., 1910-07-22

have well developed blooc circu.
latory system in order tn TRANSPORT
the nutrients which the digestive ap.
paratus takes from the food around
to that portion of her body where 1t
Is converted into milk and butter fat
The process of taking up the food
nutrients after digestion. by the blood,
is termed assimilation. This is one
of the all important considerations ia
selecting dairy cows and is probably
cne of the chief differences between
dairy cows and those bred for other
purposes. This is indicated also by
the condition of the hair and the hide,
whether soft and pliable, or hard.
harsh and wiry. 1t is also indicated
by the veins upon the udder and the
large mammary or milk veins passing
from the udder forward and entering
the abdomen at small orifices which
are termed milk wells and passing
from here back to the heart and lungs
for publication and to be pumped
BACK again past the digestive ap-
paratus to be loaded up with more
nutrients. II this circulatory system
Is dull and sluggish or carries the
nutrients to other parts of the body
rather than to the udder or the milk
factory. the COW is naturally OF an
Improbable kind. 1t may be readily
noted on the common COW or the beef
COW that the mammary vein is, as a
rule. very small: in fact. about as
large in diameter as a good sized
lead pencil and very short in its
length, from the udder to the milk
well. Never are these cows large
producers of milk or butter fat. On
the other hand observe the highly
developed special purpose dairy COW.
and It will be noted that the vein on
each side Of the body is not only
large In diameter. about the size Of
the wrist. but is very tortuous. ex.
tends far forward and instead Of the
entire blood flow entering one milk
well. there is often from two to 1--WE
