test before. Since testing in general
has decreased greatly this increase is
significant The Ayrshire Association
reports a very successful year with
the herd test and the breeders are en-
thusiastic over the principles of the
herd test.
Twelve Features Of the Ayrshire
Herd Test Plan
/. Every COW in the herd must be
| tested.
2. The test is for one year, with
| the average production records for
the entire herd as the objective.
8. Cows are limited to twice day
| milking except when production ex-
ceeds 40 pounds In mature cows and
rs pounds in two-year-old beifers
4. The test is conducted for but
one day, each month with no prelim-
mary milking.
S. The keeping of daily milk weights
is optional.
6. Twenty cows MIXED twice daily
may be tested at one time.
7. Cow Testing Association super
visors may be used, when desired, pro-
viding they meet with the approval
of the State superintendent of testing
and the breeder RENTS charges direct
to college.
8. Feed costs are to be compared,
and at the end of the year the Ayr
shire Breeders Association furnishes
each owner with complete statement
of each cows production, feed costs,
and average figures for the entire
herd.
8. Every record will be available in
the publications of the Ayrshire Breed
ers Association.
10. All herds may be subjected to
surprise tests at any time.
II. There is no minimum qualifying
amount for herd averages; however,
individual cows making meritorious
records will receive certificates of
their herd test production, and sires
of cows tested by the Herd Test plan
will receive recognition.
IL. Breeders may continue their
best cows on semi-official work by re-
tanning the tester second day, keep
ing daily milk weights and meeting all
other requirements for semi-official
work.
A Proposed Herd Improvement Plan
By Malcolm H. Gardner
/. The test shall be for calendar
year, beginning with any calendar
month, and shall include every cow
in the herd for more than eight months
of the year. Any COW, bought or sold,
MIXED less than eight months, not
to be considered as any part of the
herd.
2. No starting requirement nor pro-
duction requirement in herd testing.
Cows to be limited to twice day
milking, except as provided by our
general rules for the first As days of
any cows lactation period, not count
ing the first three days of that period;
the test to be but for one day with
no preliminary milking, and two COWS,
SO placed that the supervisor can OBJ
serve both mixers, to be MIXED at
the same time.
8. Supervisors to be furnished by
the colleges in the regular way, 70
cows IL MIXED but twice day to con-
stitute the maximum number for
bunch and when cows are MIXED more
than twice per day, 40 milkings to con-
stitute the maximum number of milk
ings allowed for any one bunch. Pro-
auctions automatically requiring re-
test to be determined and fixed and
surprise tests to be used when deemed

Cow testing associations are on the
increase in California The Dairy
Council of the state reports that dur
ing January there were 20 associations
operating in 20 counties. The number
of cows enrolled in these associations
totaled 3O,101. Of the 27,847 cows I'M
der test during January, 6,132 were
rated as 40-pound producers Janu-
ary's high COW was purebred Hol-
stein, owned by Blowers, Inc, Of King
County. She produced 116 pounds of
butterfat during the month. Changes
in the herds Of these COW testing as
sociations during the month Of Janu-
airy included the addition by purchase
of 10 purebred bulls, and the elimina-
ton Of 451 improbable COWS, sold for
beef. AS Sam H. Green says, Cow
testing takes the guess out of the
dairy business and introduces an eff
cient method of wedding out poor pro-
ducers."

roll, Jr., to test their cows for butter
fat production. He points out that
comparison of the production of the
average COW in nine C.T.A. organiza-
lions in Western Washington with the
average COW Of the state shows that
one could keep one-third fewer cows
and have the same production if all
cows produced as much as those in
testing associations. Last year 247

Deep Fat Frying

To most women, frying" means
cooking food in fat, whether it be a
small quantity or large. But to be
accurate, if only little fat is used
in shallow pan and the food is
Drowned first on one side and then
on the other, the process is called
"sauteing" (accent on the "te").
When the food is cooked in deep
kettle or sauce pan with enough fat
to submerge or cover the food and
brown it all over at once, the process
is called frying" or deep fat fry
ing" Many foods are sauted because
it seems the quickest way and takes
less fat, but foods fried in deep fat
are less apt to soak fat (if properly
prepared, with a fat-proof coating)
and are thus more digestible.

ART AND BUSINESS
ALLIED THROUGH RADIO
Clockwork Accuracy Called For in
Setting Length of
Programs.

Art and business never were more
closely allied than in the radio of to-
day. Radio has reduced the rendition
Of music to a science, as is clearly
illustrated by a recent program
change in the broadcasting of As min
utes of hotel music.
According to the printed program,
the guests of the hotel expected to
hear a selection from Madame But
terfly." For some reason not quite
clear to them they got something
else. 1t seems that Madame Butter
fly" ran a minute too short for the
carefully worked-out schedule of the
broadcasters. Hence the substitution.
Had the program gone through as
planned for the hotel guests there
would have been a dead minute on
the ether from this station, unless the
announcer could fill in by talking
about nothing in particular.
Each piece of music is marked for.
running time so that the time the
hotel orchestra is on the air can be
carefully gagged. All this, combined
with definite union rules for the mu-
sicians, calls for clockwork accuracy
of programs.
