J The herd Of John c. Mitchell, Hockes-
sin, has been very persistent producer
during the year. While his individual
cows have not broken any erecords. yet
they have been well up In the running.
With an average of Is cows milk dur
ing the year, eight have made better
than 5000 pounds Of milk, three Of
these being above 5000 pounds. Daisy
q big grade which several years ago
won the association prize, still leads
the herd with l1,106 pounds Of milk
and 1877 pounds Of butterfat. This is
probably her last year, for since she
freshened over II months ago she has
failed to breed and is doomed to the
butcher block as soon as she fails to
produce enough milk to pay for her
keep. It 10 by quickly eliminating his
failing cows that Mr.. Mitchell is en-
abled to maintain so many cows at q
high average of production.
OF the various breeds of cattle rep
resented in the records of the associs-
ton the Holstein ranks first. As q
breed the Holstein is known as q low
tester yet some are making good records
in butter production. In order to keep
them producing milk which will meet
the market standards it is necessary to
eliminate tie low testers and keep
breeding for high per cent. Of butter.
fat. For the farmer the only way to
do this is through the Cow Testing As.
sociation. One year can only eliminate
. few animals. It requires continuous
work to make much constructive pro.
gress in building up the high yielding
herd. With the exception Of 1T. Ed
manson, the highest producing herds in
the Cow Testing Association, have been
tested for two or more years. John c.
Mitchell Is probably the Oldest having
been in every association since the first
was organized during 1915.
