More Missouri Cows On Honor
Roll.

That indicates how the honor roll
of Missouri purebred cows has grown
in the last six months. In October
there were eleven COWS that in the
two days while on official test produc-
ed over three pound of fat. During
February the same number of cows
produced over four pounds of fat, and
forty-seven cows owned by sixteen
different breeders produced over three
pounds.
Viola's Golden Gypsy, a Jersey own
ed by Longview Farm, again heads
the list with a production, during two
days, of BIG pounds of fst from 95.S
pounds of milk. Raleigh's Graceful
Queen, owned by C. S. Mccoy of Per-
ry, comes second with asa pounds of
fat from 96.3 pounds of milk. Third
is La Grass Choice Maid owned by
s.. R. Head of Hannibal, with 4.80
pounds Of fat and 74.4 pounds of milk.
The high Holstein COW, June En-
press Pontiac, owned by C. E. Driv-
er of Crescent, produced 1857 pounds
: of fat and 1877 pounds of milk.
5 Inka Beauty Barber, a barn mate,
! comes next with $40 pounds of fat
from lao pounds of milk.
+ Each month this fall and winter
has seen an increase in the number
of lows on test and in the honor roll.
s This month, with a total Of 239 cows
|. on test in the herds of thirty-fve
e Missouri breeders, stands out as the
best month. Breeders of purebred
v cattle can get the attention of the
h great dairy cattle market Missouri
has in the southwest, by demonstrate
J. ing thru official tests the excellent
s. qualities of our dairy cows. Instead
of t~hirty-fve breeders there should be
ID at least twice as many doing this
> work. The Dairy Department of the
University of Missouri College of Ag-
%riculture sends out men to conduct
r, these tests and charges the breeder
only the actual cost of the work. An
excellent illustration of the value Of
= Registry of Merit work in a herd was
:. shown in a recent dispersal sale. The
six Register of Merit cows sold for
S2445, or an average of $407.50 1t
also raised the prices of the young
stock out of tested dams. Cows with
= out records could not have sold with
in one to two hundred dollars of what
= these brot. 1t will only take a post
card addressed TO the Dairy Depart
" ment, Columbia, Mo-, to bring you in
formation as to the cost and method
M of beginning this work.
