it was hard work to get them Off.

herd; but among his cows was Grip
pied, ,ten-year-old Jersey named
Goldie. Old Goldie led the whole as,
sUciation, with an annual production
Of approximately $500 pounds of milk
snd 526 pounds of fat, and an income
nver cost Of feed amounting to $267.
IN spite Of the fact that when the
test started she had already gono
three months since freshening. The
amusing part of Goldies record IL
that her owner tried to sell her just
before she went on test, for SIS. Six
months later he refused $275 for her.
The whole herd Of which GOldie
was a part averaged over 800 pounds
Of fat for the year. In contrast with
this was another herd of 81 cows in
the same association, which had been
reputed to be the best in that part Of
tile state. Yet ii of these were sold
during the year as Improbable, and
IT seemed likely that more Of them
would be.
. Similar stories come from other
srates. The dairy division has been
giving a great deal of time to the
extension Of cOw-testing associations
throughout the country. and there are
now 1,early 500 associations in various
states. ~r..
= The man who joins cow-testing as
soc!ation never runs the risk of selling
a $500 milk producer for $50 because
her appearance is poor. nor Of vast
ing his feedstuffs and work on a good
for.nothing COW because she looks like
good milker.
It is both profitable and practicable
to know for certainty the worth OF
a cow by weighing her milk. A man
ir, q cow-testing association has the
rlilk of every COW weighed and tested
cnce a month, from which it is easy to
calculate the total for a year. He
caves the trouble of doing it himself
tv having the COW tester do It. The
tester also weighs the feed, and fig
tres out the cost of the milk; so that
at the end OF year the owner OF a
! herd of COWS kncws exactly what each
one has given. what she has eaten.
and how much income over cost OF
feed she has brought him.
