w. A. McKerrow's cow testing associa-

MIXED 80 COWS which Noted q loss of
$50, or $1.97 each, at the years end.
Fifteen of the same COWS would have
made o profit of $69-provided the
right fifteen were selected. By cutting
the herd in half by wedding" he could
have saved about two hours labor day
and chad money In the bank" That
Was the first year IN the COW testing
association. Since that the herd has
rapidly improved, changing from an
average yearly loss per COW Of t1.g to .
profit OF 1876. Fonr years after record
keeping was begun the herds average
COW made more profit than the twenty
best COWS at the beginning of testing.

Tho War and Health.

1.-THE war will teach millions bow to
live" is the statement made recently by
DR.. L. D. Bristol, State Commissioner OF
Health. mot only will army men
profit by the physical training and the
healtbful routine Of army life, but as the
lessons of the war are learned, many
civilians here In Maine and In every part
Of the civilized world will adopt new
ways OF living. The result cannot even
be guessed ut. It will be Tremendous. -
Three of the lessons that the army
can teach the civilian are the value Of
regular exercise, the importance OF life
10 the open cir, and the necessity OF
cleanliness. Add TO those few Others
and we have series OF lessons that
would change the health conditions OF
any community 10 the United States.

Should all fieifers be Raised ?

Professor w. j. Fraser asks the above
question In last weeks Issue of the
Dairyman. It occurs to us to say tha,
the question can hardly be answered
until the heifer is raised and has become
COW. We have never yet seen any
rule of judgment that can foretell what
sort of q COW even the most promising and
best bred heifer will make. For instance,
one of the finest heifers in our herd, on
which We counted very much, developed
the fact when she came to calve that
one. half OF her udder was of no account
whatever. Not drop OF milk would
either of those quarters secrete. The
advice of our veterinarian was to the
effect that che would never be more
than half cow.
Every breeder knows that certain
amount of culls inhere In every herd
but he must keep them till they actually
demonstrate their unworthiness. So
We would say raise all the heifers; dis.
pose of those that are not flt to keep.
Then, again, we have bad very un'
promising heifers turn out to be excel
lent COWS. 1t may cost more than one
receives for beef to raise heifer for q
dairy COW and then sell her to the
butcher. But what will the breeder dof
He cannot foresee the future of any COW.
He cannot tell when she is q calf 1t !,
will pay to raise her for cow. he may
guess at 1t. Some will tell him to raise
heifers from only bis best cows. But
what business has any dairyman with
Door cowsp That Is Q black mark
against him to start with, showing that
he does not know bis own business moi
how to manage so as to have profitable
herd. The work of oulliDg out the un.
profitable COWS is more important than
the breeding for good ones.
A truly shrewd and wise dairyman
gets right after the improbable mem
bers Of bis herd, keeping only those
which return good profit on what they
cost to keep. But those cows will often
bring him Improbable heifera. How Ia
he to know 1t if he does not raise them
to demonstrable sgeP That is part
of the unavoidable expense of managing
herd of COWS, grade or pure-bred.-
