Cow Testing Association Notes
Mr.. Ed Lindow of the Viroqua
Cow Testing Association reports for
the month of November. "The most
important part of COW testing work
for the present is that of using bal
anced rations. Many of our rations
are deficient in protein. The evidence
of this deficiency in all our rations
is measured up directly by the aver
age production of the herd. 1t is
most gratifying to note that the two
high herds in the association during
the past month received oil meal in
their ration. The high herd owned
by Ole J. Lium was fed one pound of
grain mixture for every three pounds
sisted of 100 lbs. of oats, 33 lbs. of
bran, 25 lbs. of oil meal. Mr. Lium's
herd consists of 10 head of registered
and grade Jerseys; their production
being 452 lbs. of milk, PAT lbs. of
butterfat, test 5.48@S. The second
high herd was ten head of grade Hol-
stems owned by Nick Clements. Their
production was 24.5 lbs. of butterfat
in 588 lbs. of milk. Test 1850 but
terfat The twelve high cows for the
association are Ested herewith:
