A good grain ration for a dairy COW
Is as follows:
400 pounds by weight of ground corn

100 pounds by weight of wheat bran.
100 pounds by weight Of oats.
100 pounds by weight OF hnseed

Cow Testing Association
Cow Testing Association is Group of Farmers Who Co.
operate in Hiring Tester. This Tester Visits Each
Farm Once Month, Weighs and Tests the Milk of
Each Cow and Estimates the Value of Milk Produced

Anyone who milk cows should weigh
the milk, because 1t makes possible
the feeding Of the individual COW with
the greatest economy, and because
records help the mixer to detect a COW
that is off feed. The great advantage,
OF course, is making it possible to
know the profitable cows, and dispose
Of the inferior animals.
There are thousands Of illustrations
Il the value of COW testing associa-
lions to the individual farmer. One
Wisconsin man was receiving a
monthly cream check of about $40
from II cows. He Joined testing as
ISOLATION replaced his. poor cows with
good ones, used better methods Of feed
Ing and care, and increased his cream
check to about $95 a month from 10
COWS. In one Nebraska association
the tester found that the 10 best cows
In the association averaged a net
profit over feed of $1O3.2S. The 10
poorest cows averaged $5.78 profit.
A COW testing association Is an as
ISOLATION OF farmers who cooperate
IN hiring tester. This tester visits
each farm once a month, weigh and
tests the milk Of each COW and esti-
mates the value of the milk produced.
He also estimates the cost Of feeding,
and calculates the net profit or loss
from each cow and advises the farmer
on the proper care and management OF
the herd.
A COW testing association should be
maintained in every community where
The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1922-01-12

there are enough dairy cows to keep
a tester busy, but on the other hand,
it is getting the cart before the horse
to have an association before there
are sufficient dairy herds to support
it. It is necessary to have about 26
herds, or about $50 cows, signed up
before hiring tester. The only sat
isfactory way Of financing an associa-
ton Is for each member to pay so
much per year in quarterly install
ments. In 26-herd association each
member should pay $50 a year. Where
associations have failed in other states
It has been because there were not
enough dairy herds to support the as
ISOLATION.
Any farmer can weight the milk
and have it tested occasionally. Many
Of the cows in this state are such poor
producers that 1t should not require
an experienced tester to eliminate
them. Any COW that Is producing
less than 5000 pounds Of milk or 200
pounds of fat should be eliminated
from the herd.
The time spent In weighing milk and
feeding according to production will
nav in dividends. In most communi-
ties in North Dakota it will probably
be best for the farmers to use the milk
scales themselves until there are
enough herds to warrant the forma'
ton of a testing association. A breed
ers' circuit should follow rather than
nrecede q cOW testing association.

Feed and Care Of Dairy Cattle

ponds upon her inherited ability to
Drodpee milk, and on the feed and care
that shs receives. Both of these fac
tors must always be kept in mind.
The inherited ability for milk pro-
'duction usually comes from pure

she was proven producer. It is i'm
