STANDARD FOR THE HERD.
Labor and Feed Wasted on Unprefit
able Cows.

One of the most important steps
which general farmers can take. is to
set standard for each dairy COW
and live up to it. To buy fertilizers
and seeds and hire good deal of
labor to grow many farm crops and
then feed the products to improbable
cows means that a large per cent of
the years work is lost. Conse-
quently proper precautions should be
taken by every dairyman to see that
each individual in the herd is bring
ing profit instead Of loss.
He should set the standard sum-
GENTLY high to allow him to receive
a profit and If he finds by records
(and this is the only way to find 1t
OUT that any individual is not COM
ing up to the standard he should
promptly dispose of it unless he be-
lfeve the animal has every chance
of making much greater production
the coming year. This must be con-
siderable If Il Is to make up the loss
Of the past year and make a profit
for the present.
The standard for each individual
should be made from $500 to 5000
milk pounds per year. When this
standard is reached for the herd a
higher standard should again be made
and worked for. To do this one must
keep sufficient record of the quantity
and quality of milk produced and
know the cost of feed for each in
dividual and weed out gradually the
poorer improbable animals.
