Cow Testing.

Tennessee has six contrasting as
sociations- Every dairy community
where there are sufficient cows
should have cow-testing association
to demonstrate whether or not board
er cows are being kept There are
few regions where improbable cows
cannot be weeded out. If there are
not enough cows in the county to
form cowtesting association, sys-
tenn Of private herd records will be
found very profitable.
The number of dairy cows in Ten
nessee is about 100000 and they pro-
duce an average of less than 200
pounds of butter fat per year. Where
individual production records have
been kept many improbable cows
have been found. In fact, a COW
that will not produce more than 200
pounds of butter fat in year, will
not be sufficiently profitable to JUS
tify being kept in the herd. If the
average production, therefore is al
most below profitable basis there are
undoubtedly large number of un-
profitable cows being kept at con-
siderable loss. Then encourage the
organization of the cow-testing as
sociations, or tho keeping Of private
herd records.

May Drain Swamp Lands.

What Governor Philip declares he
believes to be among some of the most
important measures before the legis-
lature are the bills providing for the
drainage of the swamp lands of Wis
consin. The main bill Las been prac-
tically agreed upon and will be pre-
scented to the legislature for adoption
within the next few weeks.
For four years the legislature has
been attempting to enact drainage
measure The bill died at the 1917
session of the legislature because it
was received by the governor too late.
The special session of the legislature
attempted to take up the matter, but
the time was too short to give ade-
quate, consideration and it was finally
decided to lay the bill over until the
1919 session. Two measures have
been presented on the subject. These,
if passed, would affect upwards of g.
100000 acres of land.
