Through the eastern part Of kenne-
bee county. especially in the towns Of
Albion, China, and Windsor, dairymen
are realizing the value which a COW
test association could be to them and
have requested that such be formed.
a canvass of the dairymen in the
towns of Eastern kennebec and posi-
bly, bordering towns will soon be made
10 determine how widespread the in
terest is in starting such an assOcia-
ton. II sufficient number of herds are
found whose owners wish to form an
association. one will be started this
fall.
Probably during the second week Of
August, A. L. Deering who has charge

rebec county will start on this can

tlairymen as his limited time makes
possible through these several towns
explaining the plan of work and if
sufficient interest is found to call
general meeting to form such an as
ISOLATION.
The duties of the tester briefly are
as follows-to visit each member of
the association once a month, at this
zine TO weigh and record on blanks
provided by the association, the num-
Der OF pounds OF hay and grain fed
each COW at night and in the morning
! of the day he is present, at the same
! time to weigh, sample, test and record
! each cows milk. From these figures

daily ration of grain and roughage,
/ the total milk for the day, its average
| test, its milk fat contents total cost
| of production, cost to produce one
! pound of fat, its total value and the
| profit or loss. A record is thus made
| for the entire herd and from this, one
| is made for each COW so that at the
end of the year each dairyman has a
record of what his herd has done and
what each COW has produced in
pounds of milk and butterfat. her cost
and whether she has shown a profit or
/ loss.
| The cost of carrying on the associa-
ton work must vary with the wages
paid the official tester, the work can
be carried on economically, however,

| the association TO occupy the time of
| the tester for IS days in each month
and these herds contain at least 800
cows. Under these conditions, the
| cost Of the years work will be ap-
proximately one dollar and fifty cents
per COW. 1t very frequently happens
that the herds of two farmers living
near each other can be tested in one
day and thus the cost is slightly re-
duced to all the members.
| Probably no part Of the State can
afford to be in the dairy business bet
ter than can the towns Of eastern
Kennebec and through that section.
Back as they are from a broad guage
| railroad. the marketing Of such
| products as potatoes and apples is
much more expensive than in locali-
| ties nearer transportation. The ex-
pense of transporting fertilizer each
year for these crops from a distance
is also more expensive. 1t would
therefore appear that dairying is ths
most logical business for such towns
and it is surely evident from the ex-
perience OF members Of Cow Test AS
sociations the weighing and testing of
| each cows milk weeds out the
boarder and returns the owner more
| money.
