Ter. Their production was 1000 lbs. /
of milk, test 3.07, total 30.6 pounds of
butterfat. The second high herd is
owned by Duane Tracy. His 20 grade I
and purebred Holsteins produced an 1
average of 947 pounds of milk with
a test of 36 or a total of SAL pounds
of butterfat. This high herd was fed
at the rate of one pound of feed to
every four pounds of milk The ra-
ton consisted of 100 pounds of bran,
rs pounds of barley and so pounds of
oilmeal.

YirOqua c. T. A. Notes
Mr.. Ed Lindow, COW tester for the
Niroqua association reports for the
month of February: Now is the time
to breed for winter production. Re-
cords of the past months work of the
association show that cows that be-
gan their production period in the fall
return a larger average income over
cost of feed than those beginning their
production period of the spring.
If you are in need of a herd sire
see some one association member who
IS breeding your kind and get full /,
blood for production sire.
Mr.. Cornelius Sebion holds the re-
cord of the high herd average during
the month. His herd consists of thir-
teen grade and purebred Holsteins.
Their production was 1850 pounds of
milk, test 1915, total production 1913.
