cow TESTING PROVES
POPULAR WITH FARMERS
This Is Explained BY the Fact That
Profits lncrease-What Cow-Test-
ing Associations Do.

(By C. A. Hutton, Division OF Exten'
sion, University of Tennessee,
Knoxville.)
Where there are enough COWS TO
Justify the action on the part OF farm
ers. cow-testing associations are de-
ready organized and have testers en-
ployed,
Conditions for a cOw-testing associa,
ton are ideal when there are 400 cows
in about 25 herds. Several Tennes.
see counties are coming up to this
standard.
A cow-testing association will dc
much for any dairy community.
1t furnishes an exact record Of pro
duction of each cow in the herd, with
a record of the cost of feed consumed
and the net profit per cow. About one
third of the cows in Tennessee are
kept at loss. 1t enables one to weed
out the Improbable cows
The records of production enable
one to feed more intelligently and
IQOFe economically. IL Is d SOlhluOH
practice to feed all the cows in the
herd alike. Under these conditions
the poor cows will receive too much
and the good ones will not get enough
The proper way is to feed each cow in
proportion to the amount of milk she
gives. When this practice is adopted
1t usually results in greater production
of milk at less cost for feed.
The tester is able to advise with the
owner each month in regard to the
most economical feed to use, and also
to balance the rations for the owner
The members can cooperate in buy
ing cottonseed meal and other feed
stuffs in carload lots, thus effecting &
saving.
Contrasting associations stimulate
community breeding, exchange O
bulls, and a spirit of friendly rivalry
and foster a better social spirit in thu
community.
It enables one to tell which are the
best COWS from which to raise heifel
calves.
The cost is trife as compared t.
the returns.

This Isn't War, But Bad,
and Very Bad Business

In destroying military roads, trenches
and Notifications, in their retreat from
Northern France, the Germans are justi-
fed by legitimate war necessity.
In destroying farms, farming tools, or
chards and other property of little or no
use in warfare and essential in the re-
Mobilization of peace, the Germans are
sowing seed the reaping of which will be
the whirlwind.
1t has been the declared purpose of
England to wipe out Germany.
This sentiment has not dominated the
French.
France has been fighting for self
preservation and restoration of her lost
provinces.
But the wanton and permanent ruin of
her northern territory must breed in all
Frenchmen hatred so deadly that only
similar ruin of Germany can satisfy il.
II will be bad for Germany, on the day
of settlement, when the millions of
France demand not only indemnity but
vengeance.
