In figuring on the relative value of
young and old cows there are a great
many things to be taken into account,
says a writer in the Farm Progress
The general impression is that a
young COW of the same grade is more
desirable than an old one. and with
the most breeds this Is generally the
case. But it is better to purchase an
old COW of good grade when a moder-
ate amount of money Is to be invest
ed than to purchase young cow that
never would be profitable.
The young COW Of poor breed would
yield very little profit for many years,
during which time she must be fed,
while the older COW which is pur-
chased for the same consideration will
yield a good profit during the few re-
naming years.
1t stands nowadays that a pure-bred
milk COW six years old might be worth
$50 in the market, whereas a cow Of
her same grade nine years old will
bring only $40. II buyer makes a
purchase of a milch cow for $50 the
interest at six per cent. for three
years would be $1,000. II he buys an
old COW the interest for three years
at six per cent would be $500
1t can be readily seen that at the
end of that time this young COW would
be an old one. While his old cow
