Buhl Cow Testing Association

The rapid progress of the dairy
industry in the Twin Falls coun-
try is manifested by the organi-
zation of the Buhl Pioneer Cow
Testing Association. This asso-
citation has 26 members with a
total of $40 cows enrolled. Of
these, there are AT registered
Holsteins, 25 registered Jerseys
and the remainder grade Hol-
stems, Jerseys, Guernseys, Ayr
shires and Shorthorns.
In this organization, a trained
tester is employed who spends a
day every month with each of
the herds in the association. He
weighs and samples the milk from
each COW at milking time and
figures the amount of roughage
and concentrates given each cow.
From this days record, he COM
putes the milk and fat production
and cost of feed for each COW for
the current month.
In Denmark where this work
originated, the improvement OF
dairy cattle is very marked due
to these associations, the average
annual yield of butter per COW
having increased from IL lbs. in
| 1884, to 224 lbs. in 1903.

RECORD COLD
WEATHER HERE
Coolest Weather in Thirty
Years is Experienced in
Many Parts of Inland EN-
pire During Past Week.

Practically the entire North
west has been suffering for the
past week from extreme cold
weather. Just where the cold
snap came from is left for the
weather sharks to figure out, but
it got here and proved to have
been the coldest recorded in many
sections for almost thirty years.
The thermometer commenced
dropping late last week and on
Saturday night reached its low
est level, although the modera-
tio1 for the next several nights
was slight. In fact while Satur-
day night was the coldest eXpe-
rienced in this section the cold
was more intense on Sunday and
Monday nights at lower attitudes
and at Lewiston and Juliaetta a
record of 13 degrees below zero
was recorded on Monday night,
the lowest temperature recorded
there since 1887.
On Saturday night, the mer-
curry dropped to 18 degrees below
zero at this place, while at Green
creek 20 below was registered
and at the John Arnzen farm on
Stock creek, northeast of town,
80 below was the record. At
points on the mountain the cold
was less intense. On Sunday
night 20 below was recorded at
the Jack Pennecard place just
west of town and similar records
were made at several places out
on the prairie.
At points on both prairies and
at Winchester and Reubens the
cold was fully as intense as re-
corded here, while at points along
: the Clearwater the mercury drop
ped lower than it has for years.
Fortunately a good blanket of
snow covers the prairie country
to a depth of from twelve to
eighteen inches and fully protects
the crops of fall sown grain and
the orchards from all damage
from the cold. While cellars and
water systems are suffering some
what from the continued cold
the damage in this respect has
been slight and will occasion but
slight regrets.
The cold weather has continued
this week and the mercury has
fallen below zero every night
which is very unusual in this
section. However, the cold wave
has been general over the large
part of the United States and we
have no complaint to register.

There are approximately 200
such associations in the United
States and they are gaining rap
idly in popularity. Many dairy
men who would not go to the
trouble of testing their herds
themselves, are glad to avail
themselves of the opportunity of
using the association.
The first months report of the
Buhl Cow Testing Association
shows that As cows produced 40
lbs. or more of butter fat and the
average cost of producing this
fat was 143 cents per pound.
