COMMON COW IS EXPENSIVE.
IN DADRYING IT PAYS TO BUILD
UP HERD WITH DAIRY
SIRE

(By A. J. Mcclure, Extension Divi-
sion, Minnesota College of Agriculture)
Most of the dairying in Minnesota
and adjoining states is done with the
common COW. The belief that one COW
is about as good as another in dairying
has cost farmers millions of dollars.
There is a great difference in cows,
even in common cows. Two cows may,
to all outward appearances, be alike.
They may be kept in the same .arn
and fed and cared for in the same
manner, yet one of the cows will az
erage so per cent more net profit durino
a period of five years than the other,
or during any length Of time. Some
common cows are capable of producing
$50 pounds of butter-fat a year when
! properly fed and cared for, few COM
mon COWS will make 300 and more
pounds of butter-fat a year, while
great many common COWS will not pro-
duce $50 pounds of butter-fat yearly,
no matter how we'll fed.
Contrasting Necessary
Only by weighing the milk from
each COW and testing it for the percent
Of butter-fat can cows real produc
! ton and value be known. It is not much
work. Have a small shelf put up in
the barn where the milk is strained,
! on which to keep record sheet, a
spring balance, and lead pencil, and
less than half minute time for
! weighing the milk from each COW will
| enable one to keep record.
In dairying it pays 20 keep dairy
| bred COWS. There are few farmers
who would be justified in selling their
| common cows and puying dairy-bred
cows, and this is not necessary.
Through the use Of pure-bred dairy
| sires of good producing ancestry. a
herd of common COWS can be changed
to herd having all the appearance
and much of the quality of pure-bred
dairy cows, in the course of from ten
to fifteen years.. The half-blood dairy
| COWS are nearly always considerable
Improvement over their mother, the
common cow. Three quarter blood and
the seven-eighths blood COWS frequently
| show the breed Of the sires to such a
a"gree that they cannot be distinguish
ed from pure-bred animals, and they
possess dairy quality as we'll.
