TEACHING DAIRYING
IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS
How Western County Is Giving
Country Practical Object Lesson
in Combining Farm and School.

While many folk are discussing the
advisability, desirability and feasibili-
ty of teaching agriculture in the pub
lie schools, and not few are condemn
ing any such departure from the
good old time standards, Douglas
county Colorado, is going right along
on lines of her own devising and Civ
ing the country practical object les
son in combining the farm with the
school in a most interesting way.
The Colorado Dairyman of DeeenF
Der outlines the plans and gives the
rules and regulations for the Doug
las County Herd Record Contest.
This contest is open to all boys
attending public or high school in
Douglas county and classified in or
above the seventh grade. Boys below
the seventh grade and over IA years
of age are also ineligible to the con
test
Each contestant shall keep, in the
manner prescribed, record for one
year upon 10 COWS. None of the cows
selected by one contestant shall be in
Guided in the record of another con
testant but each must have a sepa-
rate list Of 10 cows
Boys eligible to the contest whose
parents do not conduct d&iries may,
upon securing consent of any owner
of dairy herd, keep and submit as
an entry in the contest, record upon
10 cows in this dairy herd.
''The contestants viii not be ranked
according to the quality of the pro
duction of the herd under record, but
upon the manner in which the record
is kept
Each record shall consist of a
record Of the milk and butterfat pro-
duction of each cow, and the value of
the same, and a record of the food
consumed by the cow and the value of
the same as nearly as can be deter
mined
''T'he testing of samples, computing
and booking of records shall be per-
formed by the contestant under in
struction and direction of his teacher.
''The record shall include dates of
freshening, drying off, breeding or SER
vices aud age of each COW under test
The feed record will continue during
the period when the COW is dry
The business men of Douglas county
have offered 10 prizes ranging from a
$3.50 registered Holstein bull for first
prize to $3 pair of shoes for tenth
prize. Some Of the other prizes are q
$l75 dairy outfit, a registered Holster
heifer calf, registered Berkshire hog
registered Duroc Jersey hog, a S5(
cash prize, a $50 cash prize.
This plan is worthy of careful con
sideration. If carried out according
to the plans of the teachers of Doug
las county it viii serve a two-fold pur
pose The boys will earn by first hanC
experience the great Fundamental
truth about dairYipg, that the cow i,
the unit Of the ahirF heard and that
success in dairying depends upon hel
performance as dairy animal. The
farmers Of Douglas county will learn
many of them for the first time, M
doubt, that they have never gottei
down to this fundamental proposition
in their own dairy work.
If the dairy interests of the count,
do not take a sharp upward turn il
the next twelve months something vii
have gone amiss with their plans
