THE COW TESTING ASSOCIATION

The COW testing association affords
the cheapest and most satisfactory
method of getting accurate records of
1.-THE production of dairy cows, accord
ing to o. E. Reed, professor of dairy
husbandry in the Kansas State Agri-
cultural college.
ITO establish an association and
run 1t cheaply and effectively" says
Professor Reed, ut is necessary to
have between 800 and 400 cows dis
tributed among about 26 herds with
lin convenient radius. Each member
iof the association is assessed from 81
Ito $3.50 COW. This money is used
to hire one man to do the testing and
to defray the running expenses of the
association. Each herd is visited once
"a month by this man, who makes the
fiat tests and has charge of keeping
the milk feed records. From the
monthly records, the yearly records
ARE calculated. From the amount Of
iced consumed, the value thereof and
the amount of milk and butter fat
produced, one can pick his profitable
cows.
1.-The man who does the testing is
always one who has had considerable
experience in the dairy business and
much valuable information and SER
vice can be obtained by the farmers
from him.
1.-THE principal advantage of the
cow testing association is the obtain
ing of an exact record of each cow in
the herd. A conservative estimate is
that about one-third of the cows in
Kansas do not pay for the feed they
eat. Cows of this sort are worse than
boarders, for they eat up the profits
made by the good cows. There Is a
great opportunity to increase the net
profits of the average herd by spot
ting the poor cows and discarding
them
Moreover, knowing the record of
production of the cows in herd en-
ables one to feed them more intelli-
gently. 1t is common practice to
feed all the cows in a herd alike.
Under these conditions tn epoor COW
would be fed too much and the good
COW too little. The proper way to
feed each COW is in proportion to the
amount of milk she produces. When
this plan is adopted 1t usually re-
suits in a greater production of milk
on less feed.
"a testing association often leads
to community breeding, which means
that part or all of the members de-
eide to handle one breed of cattle.
They may cooperate in buying or
selling breeding stock or may trade
herd sires and thereby reduce ex-
penses."
