One OF the most important items in
improving the dairy business of each
county is to have a sufficient number
Of sires which are accessible to all OF
the members II is often impossible
for the owner of a herd to have as
good sire as he really desires. Then
it is the business of the County Agent
and Of the Cow Testing Association to
provide service of enough good bulls
10 improve the quality OF every calf,
which are so necessary to replace the
COWS which have been eating theI
heads off at the dairyman's expense.
The matter Of feeding bulls and
COWS has great deal to do with their
value. Animals which are not fed
well at this time of the year go into
winter with a handicap, thin in flesh,
and the cows have a reduced milk
flow. 1t is not only expensive but use.
less to attempt to bring them back to

peatedly proven that commercial
feeds viii compete in price with any
