each week and testing it once each
month will give practically the same
results as weighing and testing each
milking.
BY taking these weekly ard month
-ly records and making yearly aver
age 1t is easy to determine how much
milk and butter each COW has pro-
duced for the year.
This is but one-half the question.
Some cows are fairly large producers
but not economical producers. Others
may produce less milk or butter yet
be more economical producers.
A light feeder may digest her food
perfectly and be an economical pro-
Queer, We should keep a record Of
each cows feed one day each week
and it's market value, in connection
with the weighing and testing OF the
milk.
This will show what a pound of
milk or butter costs from each COW
in the herd.
Sell the cows that produce butter
for twenty-five cents per pound and
keep all that produce a pound for
fifteen cents. The scales, the Bah
cock test and pencil and paper will
assist in wedding out the Improbable
cows from the herd.
The illustration shows Eminent's
Bess, a Jersey owned by the Roycroft
farm, Sidnaw, Mich. Her record I'M
der the supervision Of the Michigan
Agricultural college shows a produc-
ton of 1878 pounds of milk. testing
1872 pounds, 9 ounces of butter.
The achievement of Eminent's Bess
exceeds the record OF Jacoba Irene,
heretofore the worlds champion OF
the Jersey breed, by 1.525 pounds Of
milk and at the same time exceeds
the record of Spottswood Daisy Pearl,
the worlds champion Guernsey COW.
by 179 pounds Of milk.

The man who has made two blades
OF grass grow where but one grew be-
fore has been looked upon as a pub
lie benefactor. But the man who has
succeeded in producing one blade at
less cost has worked out a more COM
pick problem
Increased production does not al
ways bring an increased profit In
creased profits from the dairy bust
ness must, in a measure, come from
more economical production.
To reduce the cost of production
we must have COWS that by their
breeding and individuality are adapt
ed to our needs. For the butter and
cream producing dairy, the Jersey
and Guernsey cows have a certain ad-
vantage because Of the character of
their milk, which contains q higher
percentage of butter fat.
The Holstein and Ayrshire cows
are compelled to elaborate more solids
to produce the same amount of fat
This is breed characteristic
On the other hand the Holstein and
Ayrshire cows can produce milk solids
more economically and are better
fitted for the production Of cheese
and market milk
Within the dairy breeds we find a
greater difference between individual
COWS than between the breeds. We
are keeping too many cows. We do
not know what they produce nor how
much they eat. Some pay profit and
some are eating up the profits made
by the others. 1t takes the profits
from the good cows to balance the
loss from the poor cows.
The first step toward reducing the
cost of production is weighing and
testing the milk from each COW in
the herd often enough to keep good
line on what she is producing.
/ Weighing the milk for one day
