Since the organization of the Bar
ron County HoIstein Breeders associ-
alton in 1907, 80 other HoIstein COM
munity breeders associations have
been formed in % different counties in
Wisconsin.
In practically every community in
Wisconsin in which breeders associ-
alton has been formed marked i'm.
provement has been made In the char
acter of cattle raised upon the farms
OF that district. Not only have many
or the farmers in these localities pur-
chased, singly or in cooperation with
one or more OF their neighbors, pure
bred and bred-for- production sires,
but in many instances they have
sought to still further increase the
milk and butter fat producing cana
bilities of their herds by buying pure
bred cows and heifers which were
believed to be capable Of profitablv
producing large quantities of milk and
butter fat and of transmitting these
qualifications to their offspring.
NOT week passed but that the sec
retaries of several of the national
dairy breeders associations report
the transfer of comparatively large
number of registered males and fe-
males of their breed to Wisconsin
farmers and dairymen. In many
instances relatively large number of
these purchasers live in counties in

Care of Cows Pays the Dairy Farmer

ter they yield or, bluntly speaking, for
1.-The money there is in it, Our mo-
tives being admittedly mercenary, it
is sheer waste to keep cows under
conditions that force us to rely upon
our imaginations to find our profits.
Let us then plan our operations so
that throughout the year our herd will
have plenty of suitable feed. In win
ter while receiving abundant fresh
air and sunlight, it must be protected
should have shade and fresh water
and such protection from the annoy
ance of flies and mosquitoes as may
be thought practicable. Cows can no
more render their most efficient serv-
ice while in discomfort than can men.
1t therefore behooves us to keep their
environment as we'll suited to their
natures as possible. Make a business
of caring for them. Let the milking
be part of the days work and not a
"chore." The man who forgets that
he has any COWS until they compel his
attention by lowing to be MIXED is
still long way from being Z dairy
man The work has to be done, so
why not do it in season and get at
least wages for it? There is money
in COWS, but it will stay there a long
time unless we go and collect it. Nor
will it draw much interest while it
awaits collection.
