HAS CHANGED OCCUPATIONS
Cow Tester Leum Gone to War
Probably His Last Report

Association COW testing is steadily staying
at the front in this state, even though many
of our testers are called 10 the cOlOrs each
month. There are at present one hundred
and two active associations in Wisconsin.
tnore than twice the number of any other
stated with about 5000 members, testing ap-
proximately $4,000 cows. new feature
added to the work is the granting of a GER
tificate of production by the Wisconsin Dairy
mans Association to the owner OF any cows
making authentic record OF hTee hun
dTed and sixty-fve pounds of butte rfat or
better in a year. In our local association
we viii have about fifteen cows who viii
qualify fer these certificates.
The work of organizing the association for
next year is well under way and We hope to
Start the new year in August as one Of the
strongest associations in the state. The pres
ent plans are to organize a full association
at Vroqua and one at Coon Valley-Chase-
burg. Any farmer wishing TO join our ranks
or who would like information in regard to
the work should get in touch with oar secre-
taTy, Arthur Grooming, posto fee Westby RI.
The association has purchased a large
Whitewash pump for the purpose OF white
washing barns and other outbuildings. This
machine does fine work and We wish TO state
that any farmer wishing TO use this pump
can do by buying share OF stock in the
same for the sum of one dollar. After iae
machine is paid for, all money received from
further sale Of stock will be paid to the share
