caught to her dress.

Cow Testing Association

A meeting of dairymen was held a
Grange Hall, Columbus, on Wednesday
night, at the request of George T. Reid
farm demonstrators, to consider the
question of forming COW testing as
ISOLATION in this county.
Mr.. Reid explained the advantages of
such an association, the principal one
being getting the best results from each
COW. The speaker formerly conducted a
dairy on scientific principles at
Englishtown, so he was quite familiar
with the subject
He said man to do the testing is en-
ployed, who has the proper apparatus
and once month samples of milk are
taken from each COW and tested to show
percentage of butter fat. The feed of
each COW is weighed so that an intelli-
gent estimate can be made of her pro-
ductiveness.
At the end of the year statement is
made of the cost of feed consumed at
the farmers estimate of the value and
compared with the income from the sale
of milk at the price the farmer has re-
ceived. From this statement the farmer
is able to determine how many unprofit-
able cows he has in his stable. The tes-
ter takes every detail into consideration
even allowing for interest on the invest
ment in herd and for depreciation of
the stock and buildings used in the bus
mess.
The association, Mr.. Reid said, should
start with not less than 500 COWS, which
would keep the tester busy every day
and thus make 1t economical as to ex-
pense. The estimated cost per year
would be about one dollar COW, which
should be profitable investment. The
saving in feed, in many instances,
would be considerable.
Harvey M. Eels, a Burlington county
farmer, formerly Wisconsin dairyman,
said he was member of COW testing
association in the west, and it was very
beneficial to all concerned. The proper
testing Of milk and the records of feed
ing proved to be profitable. At the end
Of the first year number of farmers
were surprised to learn how many I'M
cows they had been keeping,
and these were soon disposed of.
1t is well for dairymen to know that
every COW should produce an average of
ten quarts of milk day in order to be
profitable when every cost is taken into
consideration. The object of the pro-
posed association is to determine just
how many cows in the herds of the
members should be started on the way
to the slaughter house.
The meeting was success, and with
further work to be done, is thought will
result in the formation of am association.
