STATE DAIRY ASSOCIATION g
MILK RECORD CONTEST
More Than $1,000 in Cash 70 30 Dis
tributsd to Successful Contestants

Starts June 4, Closes Sept. I.

Waterloo, May 2o.-The Iowa State
Dairy Association has decided to con-
duct boys and girls milk contest
during the year 1915. This contest viii
start June / and end Sept. 1. Prizes to
the amount of $1,000 will be awarded
to the boys and girls who do the best
work In testing cows.
Dairying should be one Of most inn
portant departments OF every farm in
Iowa The good dairy COW will with
proper care and attention not only re-
turn handsome profit, but also as
sures more steady inc -me than any
other kind of livestock farming. She
converts the grains and grasses into
condensed, easily marketed products,
and at the same time builds up the
fertility of the land.
There are approximately 100000
COWS in Iowa, and fully one-third of
100000 of these are losing their own
ers from 81 to s. per year per head.
This is an enormous loss which could
be overcome If the proper met ,ods
were practiced. The milk record con-
test has been Inaugural ed to teach the
boy how ne can, by devot'ng o few
minutes each day. increase the pro-
duction Of the herd.
Conditions Of Entering.
All boys and girls between the ages
of IL and 20 years may enter the con-
test provided they can arrange to keep
records on three or more cows for
three months. Records to be started
within seven days after the meeting at
each respective town.
Each contestant Will be furnished
with daily record sheet which should
be hung in the barn behind the cows.
He should provide himself with an
accurate spring balance scale, and after
milking each cow each time the num-
Der Of pounds of milk. after deducting
the weight of the pail. should be re-
corded on the daily milk sheet. 1t is
absolutely necessary to mark down the
weight Of the milk given by each COW
as soon as it is weighed.
Twice each month a sample OF the
milk should be taken and tested TO
determine the percentage of butter fat
Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1915-05-20

Iit contains For this purposA provide
two half pint bottles for each cav.
After milking each COW In the morn
ing transfer small portion OF the
milk direct from the pail to the bot
tie. Before doing this be sure that
you have stirred the milk in the pail
thoroughly in order to get an accurate
sample. The transfer can best be ac-
complished by means OF tin cup.
This same process should be repeated
at night and then the two samples
from each COW tested on the farm or
taken to creamery or cream station
and have the test made by the man In
charge.
How to Figure Results.
At the end Of each month add up
the milk given by each COW. Aver
age the percentage of butter fat con-
tanned and multiply the result by the
total number of pounds Of milk pro-
duced. Then transfer results to the
summary sheet which will be pro-
vided.
The kinds of feed fed and approx
innate amounts of each should be kept
and record made on summary sheet.
Cost of producing 100 pounds OF milk
and pounds Of butter fat must also be
computed.
A description of the manner in
which the work was carried on and
the benefit derived must be written by
each contestant. This should not ex-
coed 500 words in length.
Basis For Awards.
The awarding of prizes viii be
based on the efforts and reports Of the
contestants and not upon the produc-
ton Of the cows. Any changes in i'm
proving the rations or making the, pro-
duction Of milk more economical, will
be taken into consideration, but it is
realized that the boy will not have the
opportunity to select the cows with
which he is compelled to work.

lowed:
