GOOD MANAGEMENT
MAKES DAIRY PROFITS

"A man may possess a herd Of good
dairy cows. but without proper care
and management the herd may prove a
loss to him instead Of profit.
In the first place he should know
whether his cows are good or other
wise, and this he can ascertain by test
ing. Various forms of test have been
recommended. and each Is good in as
far as 1t enables the owner or herds
man to know the actual production of
each cow in his herd. No one ought to
be satisfied with anything short of
that. 1t is not sufficient to know you
have good herd and that on the aver
age profits are produced. personally
favor test which requires the weigh
ing Of the milk twice daily and the de-
termination of the butter fat for at
least three successive days each month.
Many instances might be cited to show
the value Of testing, but only one will
be given.
A dairyman six years ago began
keeping records Of the production of
his cows. He found the average yield
Of butter fat was 175 pounds per COW
per year. Wedding out and grading up
was then commenced. At the end OF

The large milk flow insures q good
calf, but In some cases this is actually
disadvantage. for 1t has been found
that calves cannot always take all the

teat or portion Of the udder.
The Shorthorn is the largest as well
as the most popular of the beef breeds
The bulls reach weight Of 1900 to
1000 pounds or more, and mature
cows, when raised under favorable
conditions. weigh from 1900 to 1,GOO

Polled Durhams, pure bred Shorthorn
cows that were either natural mulleys
or had ''scurs'' (undeveloped horns,,
were bred to Shorthorn bulls In con.

hams are pure bred Shorthorns and
can be registered either in the Short

Thus both the single standard and

similar to the Shorthorns in every way
except for the lack of horns. Some
breeders. however, have developed the
dual purpose qualities in this breed to
a greater extent than with the Short
