have never been to college but who be-
lieve in applying business methods to
their farms and barns are testing just
as carefully. Without having been to
college the latter may not know as
much about the chemistry of the proc
ess. However. they do know from
yearly records just which cows are
profitable and which are not. This is
the main object Of keeping records.
Records on dairy cows give us ideals.
The average production Of herds has
been doubled. Once the herd that
would average 400 pounds of butter
fat per year was thought impossible.
Now leading dairymen are striving for
an average far in excess of that. The
phenomenal record cows of the world
are ideals for us. We can never hope
to have herds that will average the
enormous production of the latter day
champions, but every time we read Of
a new world record we raise our hopes
and ideals just little higher. The
keeping Of dairy records is to be COM
mended. It is good business.

Elaxsead For calxss.

1t is very often desirable to use a
little ground faxseed in skimmilk when
the calves are changed from whole
milk to skimmilk, says Hoard's Dairy
man. The ground flaxseed is rich in
oil, while oilmeal is rich in protein,
and so is skimmilk. A teaspoonful Of
ground flaxseed is often added at the
beginning to each mess of milk fed to
the calves. 1t may be gradually in.
creased until tablespoonful is fed.
1t is the practice of some to cook the
ground fiaxseed the same as oatmeal
and feed it in this way, but expert
ments have shown that there is no ad-
vantage in cooking it, and unless care
is taken there is likely to be disad-
vantage, as the cooked ground fiaxseed
is likely to sour. If sour feed is fed it
will ca"se scours.

KEEPING A LINE ON
DAIRY PRODUCTION

Records Of each COW in the dairy Is
rapidly becoming slogan in all Amer
lea where cows are MIXED, writes 81,
e. Mccartney in the Iowa Homestead.
This is sign Of progressiveness and
mark of the establishment Of good
business practice. Cows are uncertain
until they have been tried. Some are
heavy producers. Some are very poor
producers. Some make profit for the
owner. Some lose money. Records,
yearly records, show exactly what each
COW has done In the herd.
The growth Of the COW testing asso-
citation movement speaks well for the
value Of testing, and it speaks equally
well for the progressive American
farmers and dairymen who are SO rap
idly placing their herds under the de-
tective eye Of the association tester.
Not many years have elapsed since the
first testing association was established
In Michigan. This was central loca-
ton, as we may see by looking at
map Of America. Now associations are
located at very frequent intervals from
the Pacific on the west to the Atlantic
on the east
Everywhere individual herds are be-
ing tested. Young men who have at
tended an agricultural college who de-
sire to put into practice the best the
college has given are testing their
herds regularly and carefully. Men who

the dairy stock interests are organized
and definite lines Of breeding are laid
down and followed, as, for instance,
Waukesha county. Wis, is but one way
to realize very strongly the truth Of the
above statement, or go into some herds
Of dairy cattle where persistent line
has been followed for q number Of
years in the use Of pure bred bulls Of
one breed as herd headers and see the
result. In each Of these instances you
will surely be made to realize that q
pure bred bull is not only an educator,
but he has caused the farmer to have
before his eyes living example Of
what Hiram Smith so aptly termed.
Professor Fraser of Illinois in one Of
his studies brought out very forceful
example of the influence of q pure bred
sire. He showed by actual data that
wherever pure bred sire was used
the labor income of the farmer was
decidedly greater. 1t appears that
where pure bred sires were used the
income was 1897 as against $3.50 where
grade sires were used and $17S where
scrubs We're used.
Is there any better example Of the
upbuilding and educating influence
which the use of a pure bred sire has
exerted?
At the Kansas Agricultural college a
most excellent demonstration is now
being made Of the importance Of the
sire. The chief Holstein herd bull is
Sir Carlotta Pontiac Cronus, a grand
son OF Hengerveld De Kol. The first
heifers from this sire have just recent
~ completed their first lactation Pc
riod. There are nine of them, and they
have averaged as two-year-olds 1,5OO
pounds more of milk and siXty-five of
butter fat than the best record Of any
OF their dams. This is an excellent H.
lustration of the prepotent power Of
some sires. An animal of this kind,
even though not classed as show bull.
is we'll worthy of place in any herd.
