Testing Dairy Cows.
INCREASED PROFITS AS RESULT OF CO.
OPERATIVE WORK = BULL AssoCIA-
TIoNs RAISE QUALITY OF HERDS

Increases of from 80 to SIS and In
some cases much higher In the annual
profits from each dairy cow have result
ed from the organization of cooperative
cow-testing associations In the United
States. according to statistics gathered
by the Dairy Division of the United
States Department Of Agriculture. The
expense Of membership In these Asso-
Citations, on the other hand, has been
only about $3.50 per COW per year. The
organizations therefore have been very
profitable.
Because OF the great and obvious eco
nomic advantages arising from the asso-
Citations dairy specialists of the depart
ment believe that the organizations are
one of the most important factors for
the upbuilding and development Of the
dairy industry In this country. Such an
organization consists generally of 26
farmers, living within radius of few
miles, who cooperate to hire an expert
tester to keep accurate accounts of the
amounts and cost of feed consumed by
each COW in the association, the quantity
of the milk produced by each and It's
richness In butter fat. These statistics
usually reveal the fact that some cows
are not producing enough to pay for
their keep, while others are highly
profitable. Acting on this information
the owner of the COWS disposes of the
least desirable of bis animals and makes
up bis herd exclusively of those that
produce considerable profit.
The membership Of the association is
rloo of 90 m that kho tootor NON vooko
complete round each month, devoting
one work day to each member, and that
be may keep his records on q monthly
basis. 1t has been found by careful ex-
periments that the averages based on
monthly tests do not vary more than 2
per cent from the production, as shown
BY daily observations. Since the tester
is an expert and can make the necessary
tests and computations rapidly, and
since he can be depended on to make bis
observations Independently OF pressure
Of work on the individual farm, the own.
ers of dairy cows find 1t cheaper and
more satisfactory In many cases to have
their testing done through the associa-
tion than to undertake to do 1t them
selves.
There are now nearly $50 cow-testing
associations in the United States, 1876
having been added during the last year.
These associations have an aggregate
membership of $500 farmers, owning
approximately 10000 COWS. The cow
testing association originated In Den
mark in 1895 and the first of the
organizations ip this country was
formed in Michigan in 1905. Because of
the value of the associations to the dairy
industry of the country the United
States Department of Agriculture Is
interest in them and is ~.
sisting farmers In their organization.
