OWNERS OF COWS ARE TOLD
HOW TO CARE FOR THEM
r. o. sAUSMAN AGRICULTURAL
AGENT OF NEW CASTLE COUNTY
Tells of Value of Testing Association
and Lays Emphasis on Fact That a
Poor Cow is Worse Than None

R. 0. Bausman New castle county
agent, has prepared the following
article on cooperative extension work
in agriculture and home economics in
Delaware:
Enough members have been Sc
cured that the reorganization of the
Diamond State Cow Testing Associa-
tion is assured. Negotiations are now
being carried on with a competent
man from the middle west, with the
approval Of the association to do the
testing and keep the records. 1t is
the desire of the association that the
work begin at an early date.
1t is to be regretted that every far.
mer who has ten or more cows is not
a member of cow testing association.
Due to the high price of feed and
labor it is more important this year
than ever before that the dairy herd
be entered in the testing association.
A good COW will make as good profit
as she ever did but a poor one will
lose far more money. A poor COW
is worse than no COW. Occasionally
a farmer states that he can tell his
poor cows. Obviously he has an idea
but to actually know is another thing.
When the performances of the Garious
cows in the herd are considered, that
some of them start in with a heavy
milk flow but drop off in a few months,
that others start off with only a far
flow, but continue it throughout the
year, and to know the cost of the feed
that the various cows have consumed ;
l say to have all these facts in mind
for each COW at the end of the year
with any degree of accuracy where
no records have been kept is a thing
which the best dairyrnan of the coun-
try have found to be impossible.
''Some of the farmers of the
county have been informed that only
the we'll bred herds should be entered
in the testing association. This is
| far from true. In fact. the purpose
of the association is TO take the very
ordinary herd, test each cow and at
the end of the year weed out those
that have shown themselves to be
Improbable. We then advise raising
the heifer calves from the best COWS
and we have found that after the
farmer finds that the production Of
his herd in increasing, he generally i:
in favor Of buying a better bull.
1.-The county agent is simply as.
sisting the COW testing association tC
reorganize. If you are intereste1,
