Cow Weedino.


The removal Of weed cows from the
herd is doing more for the dairy busi-
ness than perhaps any other one
thing. So profitable has this line Of
dairy work proved that many dairy
men who were about ready to abandon
the dairy business have taken fresh
start. But the mere removal Of weed
cows Is not enough. Their places
must be taken by better ones These
are easily secured by using pure-bred
sires Of known milk producing strains.
Records show that this line of work is
also profitable. More and more dairy
hen annually are adopting it. Some
men themselves do the work Of weed
Ing and breeding; others rely upon
cow-testing associations. These as
sociations cost little and pay well a.
