Cow Testing Association

A number Of the prominent and pro-
gressive dairymen Of Ward county
have expressed their desire to organ
ize a COW testing association and let
ters have been sent out from the
County Agents office to the dairy
men asking for cooperation in organ
ling the association.
The purpose Of COW testing asso-
citation is to provide means for it's
members to cooperate in keeping rec
ords of the feed consumed, weighing
and testing of the milk of their cows.
The advantage of the organization
are: 1st, 1t determines which cows
are making profit and which are
merely boarders. End, 1t makes scien-
tific and profitable feeding possible
and the cows may be fed according
to production. 3rd, Tests the bull
and the efficiency of his get is deter
mined. 4th, It affords means of
cooperative selling Of products.
The only way to find if a COW is
paying a profit or is liability, is to
keep records Of her feed and produc-
ton. A good many farmers feel that
they can look at COW and tell just
how much she is making for the own
err. If you believe this, just ask some
Of the dairymen who have kept record
and they will tell you that quite often
the cow that they think is paying is
found to be a shirker Of the worst
kind when records are kept on her.
To feed intelligently and economi-
cally one must know the production
of every cow in the herd. 1t is evil
dent that a. COW which is producing
80 pounds of 3:5 percent milk should
not be fed the same amount of feed as

know the production record and to
feed accordingly.
Every farmer who milks eight or ten
cows, or even q smaller number should
be interested in the organization Of a
COW testing association. If the dairy
men of Ward County are ever to i'm
prove their dairy stock the highest
point Of efficiency in production and
quality, it is time to begin now and
this is an excellent opportunity to get
start. Farmers or dairymen who
are interested should write to the
County Agent at once.
