the credit to a soap manufactured ex-

The COW testing association is a
plan OF, cooperation among dairymen
for the purpose Of regularly and eco
nomically testing their ows for pro-
duction Of milk and b~utterfat. A
usual estimate places the average
production of COWS at 175 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 1t makes about $50 pounds. At
30 cents a pound, which has been the
the annual income per COW is $4,000.
II the above figures are taken as a
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. II dairying is to be
made as profitable a business a 1t
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 at regular inter
walls. A dairyman selling milk by
volume may not be concerned in the
butterfat content further than is ne
cessary to keep up to legal standard.
but one who IL selling butterfat is
vitality concerned In the amount each
COW produces. Each dairyman may test
his own COWS, but facing the condition
squarely 1t Is known that very few do.
At a recent dairyman's meeting this
point was raised-that a testing asso-
citation was not necessary. because
each man could test his W cows.
The question was then asked: How

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 suc.'
cessful. marketing of dairy products.
People always have and always will
pay a premium for quality, therefore
1t Is useless to expect to market dairy
products successfully unless those
products are Of better quality thanstae
average. Unfortunately It often haS.
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 a good price, but simply means a
lack of business ability on the part of
the farmer In securing a good market.
He, too, often depends upon his home
town or upon his immediate commu-
nifty for a 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
p~erishable products can be sem great
distances for a few cents, making 1t
possible to sell such products as but
ter, cheese, etc, direct from the farm
to the 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 a grocery store receives
anywhere from 6 to 7 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 tho
grocer. Why doesn't the farmer keeI
this profit for himself?
