IMPORTANCE OF cow TESTING
Careful Study 81 Records Of Herds In
Test indicate That sIIaoe 10
Very Essential.

The Bureau Of Animal Industry Of
the Department Of Agriculture has
two men specially engaged in giving
assistance to state oficials in organiz-
ing and conducting cow-testing asso-
Citations. During the last fiscal year
80 new associations were formed and
seven were. discontinued. There are
now 81 such associations in this coun-
try, the greater number o4 which the
dairy division has been instrumental
in organizing. These 81 associations
comprise about 10000 cows. An ON
cial Of the dairy division IN talking Of
the work in this direction, showed q
record of two herds In one Of the as
sociations az an Interesting example
Of what is being accomplished IN en-.
abling farmers to keep records Of cost,
production, etc, and to detect and
remedy any shortcomings. In herd
No. /, 9.207 pounds Of milk were pro
duced at a cost Of $51.04 for feed,
while in herd No. 2, 5,4S2 pounds Of
milk wer produced at a cost for feed
Of $55.21. The former made profit
Of $76.22 per COW, while the other
made profit Of only $685. per COW.
The more profitable herd was fed an
abundance Of silago, while to the 9th
er no silage was fed: This, Of course,
is not the only reason for the differ.
ence; however, careful study Of the
records Of these herds indicated that
silage Is very essential. The owner Of
the Improbable herd has been living
next to man who had q silo for a
number Of years, yet he did not real
ize its usefulness until he saw these
figures. after which he built a silo at
once.

KNELL OF OLD STYLE PAIL
Farmers Who Apply Intelligence and
Scientific Methods to Their Ven.
lures Prove Merit.

A wonderful system Of ventilation
has been devised for diaries, and its
general adoption by all farmers who
apply intelligence and scientific meth
DDS to their ventures proves it's merit.
But pure air alone is not sufficient for
the COW barn. No dust must be per-
nitted to accumulate, the barns
should be kept in perfect sanitary
form, and the animal must be subject
ed to frequent cleaning operations.
Scientists have sounded the knell Of
the old-fashioned milk pail with it's
daring edges. The small-topped pail
Is in favor. It offers less Of an open
ing for bacteria that may fall into the
milk during the process Of milking.
Some bacteria invariably are found
in milk. The laboratory shows, how
ever, that these germs are beneficial
rather than Injurious to the human
consumers. But the presence Of bac-
terra directly traceable to filth and in
sanitary conditions is at once a source
of danger and signal for medical
warfare on the undesirable dairy.
keep the COW stable as neat and
as clean as the kitchen" is the slogan
Of the most progressive dairymen.
They are in the ascendancy. The
careless, old-fashioned dairyman sees
plainly the handwriting on the wall.

Brown Swiss Cow.

among the Swiss cattle, but by judi
cious wedding have attained a stand
ard of excellence of which we are
proud, says writer in an exchange.
Not the least pleasant feature In
connection with the breed is its free
dom from disease. All the cows in
our herd are subjected to tuberculin
test before being introduced into it
and are annually tested after becom-
ing part Of it.
It Is remarkable fact that while
ten per cent. Of all the common cows
that we have intended to put in our
herd since we commenced testing
have reacted, not two per cent. Of the
Swiss grades and full bloods have re.
acted.
As a farmers cattle think the
Brown Swiss cattle are unexcelled: as
q cattle to grade up native cows they
are most prepotent; and / am salts
fed that their more general introduce
ton among the common herds Of the
country will certainly help to improve
materially the quality Of the dairy
cattle.

Whitewash for Cow Stable.

In preparing whitewash for the
walls. ceilings. posts Of the COW barn,
ETC., It is best to add some antiseptic.
Slack the fresh stone lime by adding
water gradually and stirring It until
Is is a smooth, thick creamy body.
Add a pint Of crude carbolic acid for
every ten gallons. If it is to be put
on by hand, it needs only little more
thinning with water. But II 1t is to be
applied by a spray pump, much more
water is needed. and the wash must
be strained through a cloth. The
withdrawing should be done when
the COWS are not in the room. The
doors and windows should be open to
allow rapid drying. Ordinarily, 1t is
not necessary to do the withdrawing
oftener than every six weeks through
the winter season, but let the fall ap-
plication be done and very thoroughly.

The way to absolutely know what
a cow is doing is to weigh and test.
The feed and feeding is the first
important point in successful dairying.
The heifer calf is COW in the ma
king. Handle and feed her accord
ingly.
Remember that the cold rain IL
harder for the COW to stand than dry
cold weather.
The last two years have empha-
sized strongly the importance Of
summer silage.
Care should be taken that the cow
does not have to wade through filth
in the barnyard.
To obtain a maximum supply of
milk, small pastures. allowing fire.
Quent changes Of feed. should be pro
vided.
A cow testing association should
consist Of IS or 26 herds, containing
not less than 400 cows and better 500
or 600.
From being a winter feed for dairy
cows silage Is coming to be an all
year-round feed for all kinds Of
stock.
The best dairy cow is the one that
will convert the forage raised on the
farm into the greatest amount Of
butter fat.

sheds, etc.
When cows are running on pasture
the manure is not lost, for grass lands
need the fertilizer quite as much as
some other fields.
In selecting dairy cattle It is always
difacult to Judge accurately with the
eye. The real test must be the
weigh scales and the Bapcock tester.
When filth gets into milk or cream
there are innumerable germs intro
duced, which If left to develop, at
