DutleIldl anu llily-lWO COWS Oh tlic
honor roll, seventeen of which pro-
duced over fifty pounds butterfat.
There are approximately 500 cows
in the association this year in twenty
nine herds; the herd of S. II. Kaylor Of
Twin Falls, being on official test for
the year, this requires two days test
ing each month.
Our report for October, 1915, shows
400 COWS on test averaging Psi
pounds butter fat, forty-five cows on
the honor roll, and five herds aver
aging over thirty pounds butterfat.
1t is interesting to note that the
same COW that stood at the head of the
association for butterfat production in
October. 1915, is again at the head
of the list for the past month, her pro-
duction a year ago was 55.2 pounds
butterfat as against 1871 pounds for the
past month; a five-year-old COW is
considered at her best She being
six-year-old, this increase must be due
to better feed and care, just an exam
pie of what better feed an care will do
The high herd for butterfat produc-
tiOn was that of H. II. Stiyer; thirteen
purebreds with an average of 461
pounds. This same herd took first
honors for production in October,
1915; eleven cows averaging 40.3
pounds butterfat.
The greatest increase in production
over October, 1915, was made by the
herd of H. II. Payne, their average for
October, 1915, being 29.1 pounds but
terfat for thirteen cows. This October
it was 1872 pounds butterfat for the
/ herd of nine COWS, an increase of 1913
pounds butterfat per COW. Mr.. Payne
has done considerable culling, total
of seven COWS, during the past year.
Does it pay to test?
The herd making the second best i'm
provement was that of T. G. Wilson.
with an increase of 81 pounds butter
fat per COW.
1t is interesting to note that the ten
high COWS in the honor roll are from
herds where a daily record is kept
Pres. Gus Kunze has placed a SPLEEN
did purebred sire at the head of his
herd The improvement in few
years time through the offsprings will
be worth many times the price of the
animal.
Five more cows were beefed during
the month.
A. A. Stauffacher conducted an A. r.
O. test on a three-year-old HOlstein
during the month, she making a very
good record. The test was under the
supervision of Mr.. Clyde WEIGH of
Bull, who has been appointed official
tester by Prof. Ellington, of the dairy
department of the state agricultural
college.
Fred Reed sold ten cows and four
heifers to GOOding parties at very
good price Mr. Reed when questioned
regarding COW testing associations, re-
piled: THE records sold the COWS. -
The Boise Valley association report
for the month ending October 18th,
