Value Of Cow Test
ing Associations

Cow testing associations should
command the INTEREST," of every dairy
man for they help to make more
money for the man who milks.
Progress and then success spring
from dissatisfaction wi tn present
conditions. The SO active cow test
ing associations in Wisconsin ar
made up of dissatisfied men.
A year ago q certain Waupaca
county dairyman was dissatisfied |
He was milking eleven COWS and
getting a monthly cream check of
$35. He joined the Waupaca and
Butter Nut Ridge association. By
wedding out the robber COWS and
replacing them with good producers
and by giving the herd better feed
and care he increased his monthly
cream check from ten cows to S110 a
month. He has one cow less to milk
and cream check three times as
large Very many members of Wis
consin cow testing associations could
tell somewhat similar experiences.
Gust "Robber" Cows
A cowing testing association is
simply group of Is or 80 dairy
men who jointly hire man to weigh
and test the milk of each cow in
their herds, to keep their production
and feed records and to do whatever
else he can to promote their inter-
ests The movement is neither old
nor new, yet it is old enough to have
proved its worth in making dairy
ing more interesting and profitable,
but so new that your community is
not getting the benefits of one.
During the past fifteen years the
price of feed has increased about so
per cent, while the price of dairy
products has increased only about
80 per cent. Labor and land values
have also risen, making it necessary
to lower the cost of production in
order to make a profit in the bust
ness. The low-producing or rob
Der" cow is undoubtedly the great
est factor in increasing the cost of
production. To detect these rob
Der" cows is the first duty of the
cow testing association.
''The poor We have with We Away"
is true of cows as tits of people, un-
iess we detect and dispose of them.

their fftieth wedding day anniver
sary.
Mr.. West was born in Salem, Jer-
sey county, III Nov. %, 1914, and
came to Wisconsin the spring of 1855,
locating in the town of Clifton,
Pierce county. Mrs. West, whose
maiden name was Maria w. Lester,

Most all Of our exchanges and
many local nimrods have been en-
phatic in their disapproval Of the
lone buck" deer hunting law, com
planning that the chances for luck
less trip are at heavy odds. They al
so state that the law is not protec-
ton to the game because in spite of
it countless does are shot and left to
rot. Although we have never. per-
sonally, had any experience in deer
hunting we can appreciate the re-
sentiment felt by the true, sports
manlike hunter, who plays the game
square and observes all Of the rules.
This class of nimrod should have an
opportunity for a fair chance to Sc
cure his game, and for his sake we
would like to see the law amended.
But as conditions are, we believe the
law is good as it now stands. We
believe that although many does are
now killed, the average is not so
great as to menace the conservation
of deer. But the strong point in its
favor is the fact that in restraining
the careless, excitable hunter who
shoots toward the first movement he
sees in the brush, it does much to
lessen the annual tragedies of this
season. Stopping to ascertain wheth-
er the game" was buck or doe has
probably saved the life of many a
man in the big woods this year. The
subject will undoubtedly come be-
fore the next session Of the legisla-
ture.

If we do not dispose of these poor
COWS, we become poor like they, and
the more we have the poorer we
get.
The Stanley association sold 101
poor COWS or one fourth Of the cows
in the association before the year
closed. Welcome association sold %
improbable cows the first year and
90 the second gear. Amigo associa-
ton sold "a border" COWS before
the end of the year. The Sheboygan
association, in one of the best dairy
sections of the state, found 80 out of
the 480 COWS to be improbable and
sold them during the year.
Uses Standard Tests
Last year records Of $4,000 COWS
were kept and about 1000 or more
than one-ffth the number under
test were sold as Improbable. The
time is past in Wisconsin when
man claims that he can tell, by look
ing at or even by milking, how much
milk or fat COW will give in a year.
The Babcock test, the milk scale,
and the yearly record are the only
reliable judges of cow ability to con-
vert feed into fat, and the cow test
ing association seems the best way to
use these means for it insures the
work being done ccurately, prompt
Iy, impartially, and economically.
