TEST EFFICIENCY
OF DAIRY CATTLE

For the purpose OF systematic test
ing OF individual COWS. 1t is proposed
to establish in this CITY the Richmond
Herd Testing Association. Agreements
have already been signed BY a number
of dairymen in the vicinity.
The proposition is to have an ex-
rert 10 work under the United states
Department OF Agriculture He visits
The home OF each owner once each
month. taking for the day the yield Of
each COW. and every scrap OF data con-
cerning her cost Of keep and her out
gut II is soon demonstrated whether
or not she brings in a profit TO her
owner.
The cost is 81 per cow per year. \
farmer with herd OF twenty five
would pay s25. and il is figured he
could save this and more with the
knowledge that one OF his cows was
being kept at a net loss. The in
spector goes from place to place. the
owner driving him TO the next dairy
farm and keeping him for the one day
in the month. This test is as effective
in securing the necessary averages as
10 watch each cow every day
Suggestions are made as to profit
able feeding. and the weak spots IN
each dairyman's operation are detected
and stressed. The government acts as
diagnostician of the ills Of the dairy
man. There are more than 100 OF
these cooperative cow testing associa-
tons in the United States One Of
them is being successfully operated in
Loudoun County.
