plished during its first years exist
ence: -
Practically every member says that
through better feeding, housing and
use of tank heaters his returns have
increased 900. I'D. I'D. ss 'st
By keeping records of their COWS,
members have been able to sell good
COWS for SIS to $40 more per nead.
One member says that OF the $l,V0o
she received for butterfat during the
year one-fourth more came in during
the six months after she joined the
association than before. From her
herd of II COWS were culled out I
star boarders, which were replaced ny
better cows. r.-.,.
Another member has reduced his
feed bill $1.75 per head month and
receives as good returns. s.. :
BY cleaning up and putting separa-
tors on fiTmer foundation the, tester
saved members much money. IN one
case he cut the amount of butterfat
lost in the milk from .2O% to .OS@o:
