COWS FOR MACHINE MILKING
Farmers Should Study Herd From
Standpoint Of Fitness-Avoid
Defective Udders.

<By PROF. c. LARSEN. South Dakota
State College.)
Dairy farmers who wish to use milk
ing machines should study their herd
from the standpoint Of fitness for q
milking machine. The reason why
some men are successful with milking
machines and others are not can be
traced in part to the difference in cows.
When the milking machine is in
stalled the owner will have better sue
cess If he will Gull out the cows that
do not readily and completely give
down their milk, lows with uneven I'D
der and placement Of teats and cows
with very fleshy teats. Some herds
may not contain any defective cows,
some may contain n or two and some
herds may contain several.
Cows with such defective udders and
teats should never be used as fOunda-
ton cows. The heifer calves from the
cows that milk easily by machine
should be selected. 1t is especially Inn
portant to select a herd bull that comes
from ancestors that have well-formed
mammary organs, and better still to
select a proved herd bull that is known
to produce daughters Of large, symmet-
rlcal and well-placed teats Of good
quality.
