1t is expected that about
seventy thousand workers in

What The Cow Testing
Association Means to Your
Dairy Profits.

To begin with it is a direct
expense just as much as the feed
you put in front of the cows.
Next comes the question:: are
you as a farmer willing to admit
that there is possibility-yes
a certainty that your cows can be
fed for more profitable produc-
tion than you are getting or in
other words that the total ex-
pense of your ration can be in
creased or decreased as the case
may warrant so as to make your
cows produce more for every dol
lars worth of feed you give
them. And following this comes
the question: are you able to
figure out a ration that will
make your cows give maximum
returns for every dollars worth
of feed they get? In fact how
much do your cows now return
for every dollars worth of feed?
Until these facts are before US
and until we are willing to face
them without shrinking. we will
continue to feed at a loss on
many of our cows and others that
could make more profit if right
ly fed will continue as they are.
Now we come to the first state
ment that the cost of an expert
feeder and record keeper is a
direct expense per cow but with
his assistance in feeding and re-
cord keeping the increased pro-
fits on each cow will pay for the
investment three times over.
Furthermore when you want to
sell cow, these test association
records made under ordinary
farm conditions have more prac-
ti~al value to the average farmer
than the big advanced registry
records made under conditions
that he cannot duplicate.

Every visit to Cloverton
makes me more sure that the
winter feed and care of the
stock is the hardest nut to crack.
The farmers are not feeding
enough roots and juicy feed to
make up for the wild hay that
is most plentiful and must be
utilized to advantage.
Wild hay and plenty of roots
will make a fair ration and with
this any cow that is worth keep
ing at all will pay for a little
grain in addition. A cow is a
machine and will make maximum
profit only when run to full
capacity. Don't just keep cows
but make them help keep you.
Don't guess in gallons at what
they are giving but weigh in
pounds. Your gallons are always
over estimated. Our common
cows properly fed on crops you
can raise will make 40% more
profit. A good large root cellar
filled with rutabagas is an asset
to every settler.

to the Central Committee at Du.

oats. potatoes, and in some cases

plows. harrows, and cultivators
The grass seed is being put up
in approximately 100, 50 and Is
pound packages for convenience
of distribution. 1t is hoped this
can be distributed by April 1st
The grass seed mixture has been
changed from alsike and timothy
to mostly timothy and alsike
with a little medium red and red
top. This mixture is fairly sure
to meet all sorts of moisture con-
ditions.. The seed potatoes will

ty, the one that is most popular

that the Wilmington Sanitary Company

of the garbage and the city was com
