BEST QUALITY OF PRODUCTS
Often Happens That the Producer OF
Good Dairy Articles Does Not
Find Ready Market.

(By j. CADWALLADER, Louisiana Ex-
pertinent Station)
Quality is the keynote to the sue
cessful marketing of dairy products.
People always have and always will
pay premium for quality, therefore
It Is useless to expect to market dairy
products successfully unless those
products are of better quality than the
average Unfortunately it often hap
pens that producers Of good dairy
produce do not always find a good
market, but this does not signify that
there is not a demand for the product
at good price, but simply means a
lack of business ability on the part Of
the farmer in securing good market.
He, too, often depends upon his home
town or upon his immediate commu-
nifty for market for his products and
Is too often satisfied to sell to the
middleman and the grocery store.
In this day of the parcel post even
perishable products can be sent great
distances for few cents, making it
possible to sell such products as but
ter, cheese, etc., direct from the farm
to the consumer. There are hundreds
of people in our towns and cities who
would be only too glad to get dairy
products direct from the farmer if the
farmers who have these products for
sale would insure them good uniform
products.
Ordinarily grocery store receives
anywhere from 5 to cents for han
ding a pound of butter, butter which
is made from cream that is even in
ferior to that from which the farmer
made his butter which he sold to the
grocer Why doesn't the farmer keer
this profit for himself?

AS general rule, we find 1t adv1s-

thrifty, well-developed pigs, and
when 1t is desired to breed the SOW
as early as possible again, pigs may

good results. AS rule, we do not
consider it advisable to have SOW

many present have Babcock testers?'
Twelve out of a gathering of fifty an
swered In the affirmative. In reply to
the question. How many of you who
have testers use them?" only one an
swered In the affirmative.
The object of COW testing associa-
tons is to make the use of scales and
Babcock machines a community affair
Ito unite dairymen into partner
ship for the purpose of employing q
trained man to visit each herd at
regular monthly intervals and weigh
and test the milk Of each cow. At
the end of the year, this man gives
each dairyman record of the indi-
viduals In his herd with little work
or trouble to him and at the cost OF
about one dollar per COW.
The tester weighs and samples the
milk of each COW at the evening and
morning milking and tests the COM
bined sample for butterfat. Before
leaving. he makes calculations so that
he may leave with the dairyman the
record of each cow down to date.
In European countries and some OF
the states In this country, one of the
duties of tester Is to weigh and keep
a record of food consumed by the
cows. The cost to the dairyman for
complete testing varies from 80 cents
to $3.50 a year for each cow. This
variation is due to the number OF
cows in the associations and to the
size of individual herds.
The first association in the United
States was organized at Fremont,
Mich, In 1905. This association had
81 members, and 239 cows completed
the first years test. Since that time
similar associations have been organ
lied in practically all of the leading
dairy states of the Union, to the great
advantage of dairymen everywhere.

A blouse and girdle cut in one Is one
of the happiest suggestions for the
afternoon gown. To pick out the un-
usual and at the same time the simple
effects for afternoon dresses Is to be
sure of success in style.
The three-tiered skirt in which the
founces are set together is another
good idea for the afternoon dress. It

LEG WEAKNESS IN TURKEYS
Trouble IL Generally Caused by Over
feeding Of Fattening Foods and
Lack of Exercise.

By PROF. F. w. KAZMEIER, Texas
Agricultural College.)
Leg weakness in young turkeys Is
generally caused by overfeeding of
very fattening foods and lack of exer-
else. Quite frequently it is also caused
by the old turkey making them walk
too much, causing them to tire in
their legs 1t is also caused some
times by their roosting on cold. damp
ground, thus causing inflammation OF
the joints, which may develop rheu.
matism. A proper remedy would, OF
course, be to remove the cause. Feed
the young turkeys rather sparingly on
good food, not too much at time.
Feed more pinhead wheat and oat-
meal Feed q little at a time and
often. Do not overfeed. If the old
turkey hen Is kind that travels too
far with the birds, prevent this as
much as you can by yarding. Raise
your turkeys on fresh ground each
year. Provide good, clean dry quar-
tiers for them at night.

The COW testing association is
plan of cooperation among dairymen
for the purpose Of regularly and eco
nomically testing their COWS for pro-
duction OF milk and butterfat A
usual estimate places the average
production of cows at ITS pounds OF
butter per COW per year. In these
days people who are familiar with
dairying think In terms of butterfat.
and If the above average be translated
to fat it makes about $50 pounds. At
80 cents pound, which has been the
average price for the past three years,
the annual income per cow is $4,000.
II the above figures are taken as
foundation, 1t Is very apparent that
there are many cows which are not
paying the cost of their keeping. The
use of the scales and the Babcock test
has discovered In almost every herd
tested some COWS that do not pay the
cost of keeping. If dairying is to be
ought to be and as it has a right to
be under proper management, these
robber cows must be apprehended.
There is no means of knowing what
a cow is producing without weighing
and testing her milk OF regular inter

No arrangements were made to play
of the tie thus created and the Rice

six months of the coming year in
Ithaca.
The final scores were: Cornell, won
